Abstract

In this work, Ti3C2Tx MXenes were fabricated by using HF solution for diverse etching time and then investigated as electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing materials in the centimetre-band (2–18 GHz). Besides, the impact of etching time on the structure, morphology, surface termination and dielectric properties was explored. With growing etching time, the crystal structure and surface morphology of Ti3C2Tx MXenes were gradually destroyed and more C was exposed. Among the etching samples, Ti3C2Tx-24 exhibited optimal RLmin of − 42.5 dB and broad tunable absorption bandwidth of 13.8 GHz. The extraordinary absorption could be attributed to multiple reflections and scatterings and interfacial polarizations. More importantly, comprehensive comparisons were made among two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXenes, typical two-dimensional carbon-related and MoS2 materials. The thorough explorations supplement and improve the study of dielectric properties and EM wave absorption performance of Ti3C2Tx MXenes in centimetre-band, thus broadband Ti3C2Tx based hybrids absorbers can be constructed reasonably and effectively.
