Abstract
The rapid development of modern wireless communication technology makes electromagnetic wave pollution increasingly serious, necessitating the development of high-performance electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials. This study introduces a Ti3C2Tx MXene hybrid carbon foam (HCF) that exhibits a tunable and efficient electromagnetic wave absorption performance. The HCF features a porous, multilayered structure, which enhances its multi-reflection properties, and a heterogeneous interface between the carbon foam and MXene boosting its dielectric loss. By regulating the content of MXene, the ratio of polarization loss to conduction loss can be regulated to achieve better impedance matching. As a result, the HCF demonstrated superb electromagnetic wave absorption performance with RLmin = −72.25 dB and EABmax = 6.55 GHz. Furthermore, the minimum absorption frequency domain could be tuned within 8–14 GHz by varying the MXene content. The performance in radar wave absorption and electromagnetic-thermal conversion (ramp rate 85.81 °C/s from RT to 200 °C) proves that HCF is an efficient and reliable electromagnetic wave absorber, suitable for radar technology, microwave heating, and communication systems applications.
