Recent progress in two-dimensional materials for microwave absorption applications

Two-dimensional materials refer to materials in which electrons can only move freely on the nanometer scale in two dimensions and have more diverse structures and diverse properties than solid-phase materials. In the past decade, two-dimensional materials have attracted considerable attention due to their most excellent physical properties, such as graphene, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and MXenes. Meanwhile, due to their special structures, excellent electrical conductivity, rich surface and good mechanical strength, two-dimensional materials have unique electromagnetic properties and have potential applications in electromagnetic wave absorption, shielding and radar stealth. In this review, the progress in two-dimensional microwave absorption materials is reviewed objectively, including graphene, MoS2 and MXenes, as well as their composites, focusing on the achievements of the past few years and the current challenges. In addition, the performances of two-dimensional microwave absorption materials in different frequency ranges and the application in electronic communication and radar stealth will also discussed.
