Abstract
The widespread application of 5G technology has significantly exacerbated concerns regarding electromagnetic radiation. However, the rigidity and lack of flexibility of traditional electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials make them ill-suited for protecting humans and certain specialized, complex shapes of equipment. Therefore, there is an increasing urgency to develop flexible EMW absorbing fabrics to effectively mitigate electromagnetic pollution. In this study, hierarchical structure CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx MXene@carbon fabrics (CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx@CF) were constructed from nano-flower structure CoNiZn-MOF, Ti3CNTx MXene and fabrics by self-assembly, in-situ growth and pyrolysis. The carbon fabric acts as a skeleton to form a 3D interconnected conductive network, in which loaded nano-flower structure CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx MXene (CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx@C) composites exists excellent dielectric loss and magnetic loss, so that EMW enters the fabric and optimizes the impedance matching, increasing the multiple reflection and scattering of EMW, thereby effectively attenuating EMW. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx@CF reaches -44.51 dB at 14.88 GHz with filling ratio of 15 % and thickness of 1.50 mm and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx@CF reaches 4.32 GHz (13.04–17.36 GHz) at 1.55 mm. The EAB of CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx@CF is expanded to 14.56 GHz (3.44–18.00 GHz) through thickness adjustment (1–5.50 mm), covering most of the S, C, X, and Ku bands. The radar cross-section (RCS) value of CoNiZn@Ti3CNTx@CF is 17.3 dB m2 lower than the perfect electrical conductor (PEC), which effectively reduces the probability of the target being detected by the radar detector. This work provides ideas for design and development of flexible EMW absorbing materials.
