Spinel ferrite and MXene-based magnetic novel nanocomposites: an innovative high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding and microwave absorber

Abstract

An ideal electromagnetic interference shielding and microwave absorber material should have dielectric and magnetic loss capabilities including good impedance matching, which can induce attenuation and absorption of incident electromagnetic waves. In this article, we have systematically reviewed recent advances on spinel ferrite and MXene-based innovative novel nanocomposites for electromagnetic interference shielding and microwave absorption application. The article covers MXene-spinel ferrite composite, MXene-spinel ferrite-carbon/graphene ternary composite, and MXene-spinel ferrite-polymer composite including a brief discussion on the basics of electromagnetic interference shielding and microwave absorption. Development strategies of nanocomposites with various components are also discussed. The challenges and future prospects of MXene and spinel ferrite-based nanocomposites are also proposed, which will pave the way to design an innovative next-generation outstanding electromagnetic wave absorber.
