Unusual terminational effect on atomic ripple of Ti3C2Tx MXenes
enhances electric coupling among adjacent atoms and promotes their charge transfer, thereby improving the electrical conductivity. Meanwhile, it significantly strengthens dielectric properties and markedly boosts the electromagnetic wave absorption capability. The maximum reflection loss value reaches -44.33 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth is up to 3.94 GHz with a matching thickness of 1.40 mm. This work elucidated the effect of MXenes' microstructure on their dielectric properties on the atomic scale and paved an avenue for the development of MXenes-based devices.
