Extension is a key process controlling the post-orogenic exhumation of metamorphic rocks in subduction and collision zones. Previous studies have largely focused on the mechanics of localized core-complex style post-orogenic extension and the large-scale effects of various internal (e.g. rheology) and external (e.g. plate motions) parameters on the mode of extension. However, many regions on earth underwent rock exhumation during postorogenic extension, which is characterized by distributed rather than localized deformation. We explore conditions of distributed deformation as illustrated by the Pelagonian unit in the Aegean subduction system. In particular, we explore the influence of structural inheritance related to the pre-extension shortening and mechanical stratigraphy on the localization of extension on the scale of the upper crust through detailed structural analysis on the islands of Skiathos and Skopelos. Additionally, the time frame of deformation has been established by Ar-40/Ar-39 dating of key shear zones. Shortening on the islands predominantly took place by ductile top-SW thrusting under low-grade metamorphic conditions, localized in weak calcite marble layers within the Upper Cretaceous and Upper Triassic carbonates at similar to 55 Ma. We show that the presence of shallow decoupling levels in the upper crust resulted in the formation of thin (several 100 m thick) thrust sheets that are defined for the first time on Skiathos. The Early Paleogene accretion of the Pelagonian upper crust to the upper plate (Eurasia/Rhodopia) was followed by the extensional inversion of the nappe stack. Extension was accommodated by opposite-sense, generally top-NE, ductile to brittle shearing, which localized at inherited heterogeneities such as reverse-sense shear zones and stratigraphic contacts at around 35 Ma, as suggested by our Ar-40/Ar-39 age spectra. The dense network of such northerly-dipping, inherited weakness zones resulted in a highly distributed pattern of extensional deformation dominated by layer-parallel shearing. We argue that the distribution of crustal heterogeneities substantially influences the style of post-orogenic extension.

MXene, as an emerging class of conductive two-dimensional materials, have extraordinary applications in the field of electrochemical energy storage. However, the intrisic capacity of MXene still need to be improved due to the large gap to their theoretical capacity. Here, we provide a facile and new strategy to enhance their electrochemical performance-postetch low-temperature annealing (below 400 degrees C) under Ar atmosphere. Due to the formation of more C-Ti-O active sites and larger interlayer voids, the Ti3C2Tx freestanding film annealed under 200 degrees C exhibits a high capacitance of 429 F/g and energy density of 29.2 Wh/Kg in 1 M H2SO4 electrolyte, it could withstand 5000 cycles with 89% of the capacitance retention. By comparison, the Ti3C2Tx annealed at higher temperature (400 degrees C), presented a high resistance and poor electrochemical property because of partial oxidation and breaking of Ti-C bond on the surface of MXene nanosheets, despite the larger interlayer voids and low -F contents, . This work is not only probing the importance to maintain the original structure of MXene but also proposing a new strategy to realizing a high capacitance of pure MXene electrode.
