Multidimensional Engineering Induced Interfacial Polarization by in-Situ Confined Growth of MoS₂ Nanosheets for...

Interface design has enormous potential for the enhancement of interfacial polarization and microwave absorption properties. However, the construction of interfaces is always limited in components of a single dimension. Developing systematic strategies to customize multidimensional interfaces and fully utilize advantages of low-dimensional materials remains challenging. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have garnered significant attention owing to their distinctive electrical conductivity and exceptional interfacial effects. In this study, a series of hollow TMDCs@C fibers are synthesized via sacrificial template of CdS and confined growth of TMDCs embedded in the fibers. The complex permittivity of the hollow TMDCs@C fibers can be adjusted by tuning the content of CdS templates. Importantly, the multidimensional interfaces of the fibers contribute to elevating the microwave absorption performance. Among the hollow TMDCs@C fibers, the minimum reflection loss (RL_min) of the hollow MoS₂@C fibers can reach -52.0 dB at the thickness of 2.5 mm, with a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 4.56 GHz at 2.0 mm. This work establishes an alternative approach for constructing multidimensional coupling interfaces and optimizing TMDCs as microwave absorption materials.
