Here, we report barocaloric effects in Mn3-xPt1+xalloys saturated at about 60 MPa, the lowest pressure reported in intermetallics to date. A first-order phase transition occurs from the colinear antiferromagnetic phase to the triangular antiferromagnetic phase as temperature decreases. The transition temperature strongly depends on the composition x, ranging from 331 K for x = 0.18 to 384 K for x = 0.04, and is sensitive to pressure, with dTt/dP up to 139 K/GPa. However, the maximum pressure-induced entropy changes are as small as 13.79 J kg-1 K-1, attributed to the mutual cancellation of lattice and magnetic entropy changes. The small driving pressure and total entropy changes are due to the special magnetic geometric frustration.","PeriodicalId":22044,"journal":{"name":"Superlattices and Microstructures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88106637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nanochannel membranes have been utilized in a broad spectrum of new separation applications. However, the instability of the nanochannels, interfacial instability of 2D materials, and the swelling problem could damage the membrane performance, such as permeability, selectivity, and service lifetime. Innovative strategies for constructing and regulating the nanochannels are enthusiastically explored to address these challenges. Along this line, in this work, we first provide insight into the mechanisms of the nanochannel construction, the separation mechanism, and the effect of nanochannels on the separation performance. Then, the strategies developed in the literature, in particular, the strategies for the preparation of ideal 2D nanosheets, the strategies for constructing nanochannels, and the strategies for regulating the characteristics of nanochannels (channel size, channel length, channel morphology, and channel surface physicochemical properties) are systematically summarized. After that, we briefly introduce the application of 2D-material-based nanochannel membranes and outline the current challenges and provide an outlook in the further exploration of separation mechanism, large-scale manufacturing, and the eventual commercialization of the membranes.","PeriodicalId":22044,"journal":{"name":"Superlattices and Microstructures","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87710186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
