Abstract
The explosive growth of communication technology has given rise to a large number of high-quality electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials,and single-component materials are often difficult to satisfy the demand.In this study,we propose an etching method of molten chlorine salts under vac-uum to prepare Cl-terminated MXene(MX-Cl)which can meet the requirements of"thin,light,wide and strong"and realize the application of single-component absorbing materials.In the X and Ku bands,MX-Cl achieves a strong reflection loss of-42.99 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.44 GHz with the 1.2 mm matching thickness.The presence of Cl groups restricts the free electron movement of surface-Ti,which controls the conductivity of the MX-Cl and optimizes its permittivity.Dipole polarization induced by Ti-Cl,interfacial polarization between MXene layers and multiple scattering effects inside the layers all significantly increase the dielectric loss of the MX-Cl considerably.This study provides a new approach to investigating the effect of single atoms on the dielectric properties of materials.This work also offers a simple and low-cost process for the preparation of single-component MXene EMW-absorbing materials.
