However, challenges arise due to the excessively high permittivity and the difficulty of surface modification of few-layered MXenes severely, which infect the microwave absorption performance. Herein, for the first time, a carefully designed and optimized electrostatic selfassembly strategy to fabricate magnetized MXene-r GO/Co Ni film was reported. Inside the synthesized composite film, r GO nanosheets decorated with highly dispersed Co Ni nanoparticles are interclacted into MXene layers, which effectively suppresses the originally self-restacked of MXene nanosheets, resulting in a reduction of high permittivity. In addition, owing to the strong magnetic coupling between the magnetic Fe Co alloy nanoparticles on the r GO substrate, the entire MXener GO/Co Ni film exhibits a strong magnetic loss capability. Moreover, the local dielectric polarized fields exist at the continuous heterointerfaces between 2 D MXene and r GO further improve the capacity of microwave loss. Hence, the synthesized composite film exhibits excellent microwave absorption property with a maximum reflection loss value of-54.1 d B at 13.28 GHz. The electromagnetic synergy strategy is expected to guide future exploration of high-efficiency MXene-based microwave absorption materials.展开更多

Constructing heterogeneous structure is beneficial to further enhance the microwave absorption performance of composite materials. However, the process of constructing multi-heterogeneous interfaces is extremely complex. In this work, hollow porous FeCo/Cu/CNTs composite microspheres are prepared by the simple spray drying method and subsequently two-step annealing treatment, which possess abundant heterogeneous interfaces, unique three-dimensional conductive network and magnetic coupling network. This unique structure is beneficial to improving the ability of dielectric loss and magnetic loss, and then achieving an excellent microwave absorption performance. The prepared FeCo/Cu/CNTs-1 composite microspheres maintain a minimum reflection loss (RL) of −48.1 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 5.76 GHz at a thickness of 1.8 mm. Generally, this work provides a new idea for designing multi-heterogeneous of microwave absorbing materials.展开更多
