    The two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures are considered to have the potential to be applied to a new generation of photodetectors due to its unique two-dimensional layered structure and excellent photoresponse properties. The 2D material family is rich in variety, because of its wide band gap distribution, the photoresponse can cover the range from ultraviolet to infrared. Since the two- dimensional material layers are combined by van der Waals force, theoretically, it is possible to use the van der Waals force interaction between different two-dimensional material layers to prepare a variety of 2D heterostructures with excellent performance. In recent years, a variety of 2D heterostructures have been fabricated by mechanical stacking and CVD growth methods, and the 2D heterostructures photodetectors show excellent performance in the visible to far-infrared band. According to this research background, this paper reviews the research progress on 2D heterostructure photodetectors in recent years from the aspects of preparation of 2D heterostructures, the device preparation, and the device performance.

    The dispersion relations of the triangular plasma photonic crystals in TE mode and TM mode were calculated by finite element method. The influences of plasma filling fraction on the band positions and band gap widths were analyzed. The results show that the plasma photonic crystal has two unidirectional band gaps in M-Γ and X-M directions, respectively in TM mode. With increasing of the filling fraction, the bands shift to higher frequencies, and the band gap widths increase and finally reach a stable value. In the TE mode, the plasma photonic crystal not only has a unidirectional band, but also has the flat bands with low frequencies, which are the surface plasma waves. A complete band gap forms at the large filling fraction, and the band gap widths increase with increasing of the filling fraction. An effective way for fabrication of tunable plasma photonic crystals is provided, which may find wide applications in the manipulation of microwaves or Terahertz waves.

    In this paper, the nucleation and growth characteristics of graphene fabricated on copper foils by low pressure chemical vapor deposition in both conventional growth chamber and vapor trapping chamber were comparatively studied via adjusting the flow rate of CH4. The results indicate that the nucleation density of graphene in the vapor trapping chamber decreases three orders of magnitude than that in the conventional growth chamber and graphene nucleus could grow up rapidly. Meanwhile, the vapor trapping chamber was in favor of the fabrication of perfect graphene domains by providing a stable growth environment. By supplying adequate effective activated carbon atoms, the rate of jointing process of graphene domains in the vapor trapping chamber could be accelerated, bettering the quality of graphene film. On the basis of the experimental results, the mechanism of the vapor trapping chamber impacting the nucleation and growth of graphene was discussed as well.

    The preparation conditions of phosphor based on Ba2Mg(BO3)2 host was systematically investigated, effect of Eu3+ content on the host lattice environment and luminescent properties of phosphor as well. The research results show that Ba2+ is increasingly deviate from symmetric center with increase of Eu3+ content. When Eu3+ content is very low, the maximum emission peak of the Ba2Mg(BO3)2∶Eu3+ is at 594 nm. However, Eu3+ content is over 3at%, the emission intensity at 613 nm peak is dramatically enhanced, and is more than that of at the peak of 594 nm in case Eu3+ content is over 3.5at%, which is attributed to the degree of distortion of crystal structure, and result in obvious change of the symmetric properties of the crystal lattice, thus forbidden electric dipolar 5D0→7F2 transition is more released.

    Based on the first-principles method, six interface models of WC-Co/cBN4B, WC-Co/cBN4N, WC-Co/cBN1B-near OA, WC-Co/cBN1N-near OA, WC-Co/cBN1N-near OB and WC-Co/cBN1B-near OB were established, then its interface adhesion work and fracture toughness were calculated. The WC-Co/cBN4B interface has the maximum adhesion work of 9.705 J?m-2, and the interface is the most stable. The work is greater than the fracture toughness of the WC(0001)w interface of 7.824 J?m-2, so the crack tends to appear in the matrix. While the WC-Co/cBN4N interface has the minimum adhesion of 4.470 J?m-2, and the interface is the most unstable. The work is less than the fracture toughness of the WC (0001)w interface, so the crack tends to appear at the interface. Based on this, the charge density difference, density of states and Mulliken population analysis were carried out to explain the interface stability from the deep perspective of charge transfer, bonding mode and valence electron distribution. The results show that:there is charge transfer between Co and B atoms at the interface of WC- Co/cBN4B model, which is hybridized by Co-d and B-p orbital to strong Co-B covalent bond. There is also charge transfer between Co and N atoms at the interface of WC-Co/cBN4N model, which is hybridized by Co-d and N-p orbital to weak Co-N covalent bond. At the interface of the two models, the population of Co-B covalent bonds is larger, the bond length is smaller and the bond energy is larger. The effect of Co-B covalent bonds is stronger than that of Co-N covalent bonds. Therefore, WC-Co/cBN4B has better interface bonding performance and more stable interface.

    The electronic structure and optical properties of undoped, Cu, I doped and Cu-I co-doped anatase phase TiO2 were calculated using the first-principles based on density functional theory.The results show that the red shift of absorption band edge can be caused by Cu, I doped TiO2 alone.For I doped TiO2, due to the interaction of the 5p orbital of I and the 2p orbital of O, the forbidden band width reduces, thus the absorption band edge is red shifted. For Cu doped TiO2, the 3d orbital of Cu introduces two impurity levels at the top of the valence band, which causes the top of the valence band to move upward. This makes the forbidden band width smaller, and the absorption band edge is significantly red-shifted.For Cu-I co-doped TiO2, Cu mainly acts at the valence band top, I mainly acts at the conduction band bottom, and then introduces impurity energy levels, so that the band gap is obviously reduced and the absorption band edge is sharply red shifted. The formation of electron and hole trapping centers by the synergistic action of Cu-I effectively hinders the recombination of electron-hole pairs and improves the catalytic efficiency for visible light.

    In recent years, Ag nanowire-based transparent electrodes have received extensive attention as an alternative to indium tin oxide (ITO) owing to their excellent electrical conductivity and excellent toughness. They are used in a variety of electronic devices, such as touch screens, organic solar energy batteries, monitors, etc. However, in the application of transparent electrodes, low haze, and hence the poor conductivity arising from low aspect ratio Ag nanowires limit their usage, and hence, it is of urgency to increase the aspect ratio of these wires. In the investigation, Ag nanowires were prepared by a one-step polyol method, and the effects of mixed poly (vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) with different molecular weights on the coating and growth process were investigated. During the growth process, the coating of the mixed molecular weight PVP on the surface of Ag nanowires allows them to grow in a single direction while reducing their width, thereby increasing the aspect ratio. The outcome of study demonstrates that the re-nucleation point of the PVP system is smaller than that of the single-molecular-weight PVP system, and the aspect ratio of Ag nanowires is higher. The molecular weights of 1 300 000 and 58 000 are fused by a weight ratio of 2∶1, and at this point, the formed Ag nanowires possessed the smallest width and the longest length to display a higher aspect ratio of up to 1 200 or more.

    For the purpose of accelerating the practical application of NaSICON NaZr2(PO4)3 powders, a solid-state reaction method at low- temperature was developed to prepare NaZr2(PO4)3 powders using ZrOCl2?8H2O and NaH2PO4?2H2O as raw materials. The influence of phosphate content on the synthesis of NaZr2(PO4)3 powders was investigated by XRD, SEM and Raman techniques. The results show that excess amount of phosphate is beneficial to obtain the pure phase of NaZr2(PO4)3. In addition, the as-prepared powders with average particle size of 1 μm show uniform size and good dispersion when the mole ratio of ZrOCl2?8H2O to NaH2PO4?2H2O is 2∶5.4. The occurrence of solid-state reaction during grinding process is found to play an essential role in the preparation of NaZr2(PO4)3 powders. On the one hand, the amorphous NaZr2(PO4)3 produced by solid-state reaction contributes to the formation of crystalline NaZr2(PO4)3. On the other hand, the in-situ generation of NaCl provides favorable liquid environment for the crystal growth. Furthermore, this work develop a facile and effective route for the mass production of NaZr2(PO4)3 powders.

    Effect of pH value and calcination temperature on the crystalline properties of MgO nanosheets was investigated via liquid phase method in alcohol-water system with Mg(NO3)2?6H2O as magnesium, PEG-2000 as surfactant and NH3?H2O as precipitant. The crystal phase composition, morphology and pore structure of MgO nanosheets were characterized by XRD, SEM and BET. The results indicate that pH value and calcination temperature have no effect on the phase composition of MgO nanosheets, but posed significant impact on the micro- morphology and specific surface area of MgO nanosheets. Lower pH value and calcination temperature, or higher pH value and calcination temperature cause irregular shape and different degree of agglomeration of samples, with smaller specific surface area. The products has regular shape and good dispersibility under the condition of pH=10 and calcination temperature of 500 ℃, specific surface area of 145.42 m2?g-1, pore volume of 0.67 cm3?g-1 and average pore diameter of 18.56 nm.

    Hydroxyapatite(HAP) is similar to the inorganic components of human bones, and has good biocompatibility and bone conduction properties. Β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) is a biodegradable and bioabsorbable bioactive material. Its degradation products Ca, P can enter the living body's circulatory system to form new bone, becoming an ideal hard tissue replacement material. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and phosphoric acid (H3PO4) were used as raw materials to synthesize biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic powder by direct precipitation method. Then, polyurethane foam carrier was prepared by laser forming technique, and porous gelatin/biphasic calcium phosphate ceramic scaffold was prepared by a foam dipping method. Finally, glutaraldehyde is used to crosslink with the scaffold to improve performance. The composition, morphology and structural characteristics of the composite porous scaffolds were analyzed by XRD and SEM. The degradability, porosity, mechanical properties and cytotoxicity of the composite bioscaffolds were evaluated. The results show that the powder prepared by the experiment was biphasic calcium phosphate, and the composition includes β-Tricalcium Phosphate (β-TCP) and Hydroxyapatite (HAP), among them, β-TCP is the main phase. The biological scaffold has a good pore structure, including a regular through hole and an irregular communication hole, the through hole diameter is between 800 μm and 950 μm, the irregular communication hole is between 300 μm and 500 μm, and the average porosity of the scaffold is 83.1%; The average compressive strength of the scaffold reaches 1.06 MPa, which satisfies the mechanical requirements of the bone tissue engineering for the scaffold material; the cytotoxicity of the bioscaffold is grade 0 or grade 1, no cytotoxicity, and has good degradation performance.

    Sr0.92-1.5xBixCa0.08TiO3 (0.155≤x≤0.195) solid solution was prepared by solid state reaction method, and fixed amounts of MnCO3 and ZnO were added as modifiers and sintering aids. The structure and dielectric properties were investigated by XRD, SEM and LCR analyser. The results show that when x≥0.165, a second phase appeares in the ceramic samples. With the increase of Bi3+ content, the dielectric constant increases first, then decreases, and the dielectric loss decreases first, then increases. When x=0.16, the capacitor ceramic dielectric material with high dielectric constant(ε=1 153), low loss(tgδ1KHz=3.5×10-4) and high insulation strength(Eb=9.37 kV/mm).
