Ti₃C₂T _XMXene Beaded SiC Nanowires for Efficient Microwave Absorption

Flexible SiC_nwis anticipated to enable multifunctional uses of materials, such as wearable electronic components or coatings that absorb microwaves at high temperatures. By regulating the amount of raw materials, a beaded SiC nanowire (SiC_nw) comprising SiC stems (150 nm) and SiO₂beads (600 nm) was successfully manufactured in this study. In addition, the Ti₃C₂T_XMXene hybrid beaded SiC_nw(M-SiC_nw) film was produced using a straightforward suction filtration technique. The incorporation of Ti₃C₂T_XMXene nanosheets and bead flaws created abundant interfaces and increased conductivity, hence boosting the microwave absorption efficiency. At a thickness of 1.58 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth of 3.36 GHz, a minimum reflection loss value of -41.7 dB was observed. The possible absorption process of the M-SiC_nwfilm is elaborated upon. The results demonstrate that the M-SiC_nwfilm has promising future applications in membrane technology and microwave absorption.
