Abstract

Due to their high conductivity and unique surface chemical characteristics, MXene and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have received a great deal of attention in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA). This study describes the covalent modification of rGO with amino-functionalized MXene to create an electromagnetic absorbent material called MXene-rGO composite. After amidation, an amide bond successfully assembles MXene and rGO. The absorber performs admirably when the mass ratio of MXene to rGO is 1:2 (sample MG-3). With a thickness of 2.7 mm, the best reflection loss (RL) is −47.98 dB at 6.4 GHz. Additionally, the best effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) (RL< −10 dB) is 4.08 GHz (11.84-15.92 GHz) with a 1.4 mm matching thickness. The performance of the EMA can be obtained by adjusting the dielectric parameters and the migration rate of the electrons using the covalent bond as a stable carrier channel. The high dielectric loss, superior impedance matching, and strong attenuation ability contribute to the great absorption performance.
