- The development and applications of transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides, commonly denoted as MXenes, have during the last few years rapidly expanded in various technological fields owing to their unique and controllable properties. These materials exhibit competing performance comparing with traditional materials and have created numerous opportunities for technology markets. Taking the advantage of excellent optoelectronic features, MXenes have been utilized for the construction of photodetectors with various structures and unique functionalities. While the appli-cation of MXenes in this area can be traced back to 2016, we have during the recent three years witnessed a dramatic development of MXene-based photodetectors, calling for a timely review to guideline their future direction. In this work, synthetic strategies of pristine MXenes are briefly introduced and their properties are discussed focusing on the optoelectronic aspects that are fundamental for the photoelectric conversion. Recent advances of MXene-based photodetectors are comprehensively summarized based on different types of MXenes and innovative designs of device construction. Finally, we provide perspectives for future challenges and opportunities of MXene-based photodetectors, which may enlighten their further development.

- In this work, the distribution and partition behavior of ionic liquids (ILs) in nanopores with rough surfaces are investigated by a two-dimensional (2D) classical density functional theory model. The model is consistent with the equation of state that combines the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid theory and the mean spherical approximation theory for bulk fluids. Its performance is verified by comparing the theoretical predictions with the results from molecular simulations. The fast Fourier transform and a hybrid iteration method of Picard iteration and Anderson mixing are used to efficiently obtain the solution of density profile for the sizable 2D system. The molecular parameters for IL-ions are obtained by fitting model predictions to experimental densities of bulk ILs. The model is applied to study the structure and partition of the ILs in nanopores. The results show that the peak of the density profile of counterions near a rough surface is much higher than that near a smooth surface. The adsorption of counterions and removal of co-ions are enhanced by surface roughness. Thus, the nanopore with a rough surface can store more charge. At low absolute surface potential, the partition coefficient for ions on rough surfaces is lower than that on smooth surfaces. At high absolute surface potential, increasing surface roughness leads to an increase in the partition coefficient for counterions and a decrease in the partition coefficient for co-ions.

- Graphene films (GFs) can be used in the field of electronics cooling, owing to many outstanding properties. In the present paper, GFs samples were graphitized at different pressures to study their effect on the mechanical properties. The elastic modulus and hardness of GFs were measured by nanoindentation and the tensile strength of GFs were obtained by stretching GFs in a tensile tester. Meanwhile, GFs were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the modulus, hardness and tensile strength of GFs were strongly influenced by the defect and wrinkles among other things.

- Choline chloride/urea (1:2) is the most widely used deep eutectic solvent, which has attracted much attention due to its excellent advantages of low cost, environment friendly and easy synthesis. In this work, nanofriction-based molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate the effect of interfacial hydrophilicity on the flow resistance of Choline chloride/urea (1:2) confined in ionic model nanoslits. Simulation results showed that the flow resistance of the choline chloride/urea system increases with the increasing interfacial hydrophilicity. Urea molecules form a preferential adsorption layer on the wall. As the interfacial hydrophilicity increases, the number of urea molecules in the interfacial adsorption layer increased, whereas the stability decreased. Unique confined spatial distributions of urea molecules greatly contribute to ionic association between choline cations and chloride anions. Furthermore, with the increase of interfacial hydrophilicity, orientation distributions of urea molecules in the adsorption layer are more orderly, then causing a decrease in the average hydrogen bond number (NHB) of urea molecules. Moreover, the more the NHB of urea molecules, the better is the stability in the interfacial adsorption layer, which in turn results in less flow resistance.

- 48.28 at.%Ti-51.72 at.%Ni thin films were prepared by magnetron sputtering and post-annealed at 450, 500, 550 and 600 degrees C, respectively. The evolution of structure, phase transformation and nanoscale indentation behavior of Ti-Ni thin film annealed at different temperature were investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nanoindention test, respectively. The results showed that the as-deposited Ti-Ni thin films were amorphous and crystallized after post-annealing. As the annealing temperature increased from 450 to 600 degrees C, both the content of parent phase (B2) and that of the precipitate phase (Ni4Ti3) increased. Both the phase transformation temperature and the micro-hardness of the annealed Ti-Ni thin films increased as well. Meanwhile, the pseudo-elasticity energy recovery ratio 77 first increased to the maximum value and then decreased with the increasing annealing temperature. It revealed that the annealed Ti-Ni thin film specimens exhibited the highest pseudo-elasticity degree with the largest 71 values under the load of 10 mN.

- Alloying of Fe, Co was reported to tailor microstructure of copper alloys into a nanoprecipitate-fine grain (NPFG) structure, i.e. nano-sized iron-rich precipitates dispersed inside refined grains. Here, we investigate the solute effect of Sn, Zn on NPFG structure in as-cast copper samples. Mechanisms are proposed to account for the solute effect on precipitate and grain features. Solutes restrict coarsening but facilitate undesirable morphology transition from spherical to angular of iron-rich precipitates. Meantime, solutes allow more precipitates to be active in the nucleation of copper and consequently induce finer grains. Minor Sn is added to optimise NPFG structure and leads to an excellent strength–ductility combination in Cu–1.5Fe–0.1Sn (wt-%) alloy. This work provides a solute-alloying strategy to achieve desired mechanical properties in metals.

- Precipitate features including size, morphology, crystal structure, etc., are important parameters determining the performance of precipitate-strengthened alloys. Multiple Fe precipitates were identified in as-cast Cu alloys exhibiting the distinct features, which dramatically influence mechanical properties. However, a complete understanding of precipitation behaviors of Fe particles during casting, in terms of both microscopic kinetics and thermodynamics, remains experimentally challenging. Here, we report the combined implementation of transmission electron microscopy, Thermo-Calc calculations and First-principles calculations to map mechanisms and growth regimes of Fe precipitation in a Cu-Fe-Co system. Our analyses support the idea that to understand the microstructural evolution in the system, both thermodynamic and kinetic arguments must be taken into account. Then, using our multi-approach strategy, the complete picture of the formation and transformation of Fe precipitates is proposed. This work is vital to promote microstructural design for Cu-Fe(-Co) systems, and sheds new insights into understanding of intricate precipitation in alloys.

- The solubility of pure CO2, CH4, and N2 in the mixture of choline-2-pyrrolidine carboxylic acid ([Cho][Pro]) and polyethylene glycol (PEG200) (mass ratio = 1:2) was measured experimentally at temperatures from 308.15 to 338.15 K and pressures up to 28 bar, in which [Cho][Pro] is an ionic liquid and PEG200 is a cosolvent with the purpose to decrease the viscosity. It was found that [Cho][Pro]/PEG200 showed a good selectivity for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2 separation. The measured experimental data points from this work and others were further used to estimate the thermodynamic properties including the Henry's law constants for the gases in [Cho][Pro]/PEG200, the equilibrium constant for the reaction between CO2 and [Cho][Pro], the CO2 absorption enthalpy in [Cho][Pro]/PEG200, and so forth. The consistent results of the CO2 absorption enthalpy at infinite dilution prove the reliability of the thermodynamic properties obtained in this work. The thermodynamic properties of [Cho][Pro]/PEG200 were further compared with other three typical absorbents, and the absorption enthalpy is nearly half of that for 30 wt % MEA aqueous solution. At the same time, the theoretical amount of absorbents needed for [Cho][Pro]/PEG200 is much lower than that of H2O scrubbing. This shows that [Cho][Pro]/PEG200 is a promising absorbent
