`Modulating dielectric loss of MoS2@Ti3C2Tx Nanoarchitectures for Electromagnetic Wave Absorption with radar cross section reduction performance verified through simulations

Abstract The concept of multilayers and filler content has been utilized as an effective technique to acquire excellent microwave absorption performance. MoS2@MXene nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized after exfoliation of the MXene and MoS2 particles were embedded on its surface. MoS2@MXene achieved the minimum Reflection Loss (RL) of −51 dB with 30% ratio in wax. The involved mechanisms are discussed in detail including the synergetic effect between MXene and MoS2 particles which improved the dielectric loss of the MoS2@MXene composites as a result of multiple reflections in the layered structure of MXene, abundant functional groups on the MXene surface and positive effect of the increase in surface area. Moreover, the radar cross-section reduction performance has also been confirmed by using simulation technology. The obtained MoS2@MXene composite proved as an excellent microwave absorbing material for future applications.
