2D MXene Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Mechanism, and Multifunctional Applications in Microwave Absorption

Abstract

MXene nanomaterials stand out among 2D nanomaterials and have been extensively studied by researchers because of their unique layered structure, chemical diversity, and outstanding chemical and physical properties. In recent years, MXene materials have rapidly opened the market for electromagnetic interference shielding technology due to their excellent electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) capability. However, so far, compared with the development of electromagnetic (EM) shielding technology, there is still much room for development in the construction of MXenes and the application of electromagnetic wave absorption. Herein, the construction strategies, electromagnetic wave conversion mechanism, and applications of MXenes materials are reviewed. Through meticulous material design and an interdisciplinary approach, 2D MXene materials are expected to become one of the smart tunable wave absorbers, and their application scenarios will also become broader.
