Atomic‐Molecular Engineering Tailoring Graphene Microlaminates to Tune Multifunctional Antennas

Abstract

Atomic‐molecular engineering is an effective way to accurately tailor the microstructures and components of materials at the micro‐nano scale, which can be applied to flexibly manipulate their electromagnetic (EM) response. Herein, graphene microlaminates with multi‐layer structure are fabricated by atomic cluster engineering and oxidative molecular layer deposition for the first time. The microlaminates enable a tunable EM loss (from 0.93 to 3.94 for imaginary permittivity and from 0.17 to 0.25 for imaginary permeability) by changing poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) cycles, and the attenuation constant reaches 160. On this basis, multifunctional antennas are conceived, achieving frequency‐selective response that enables steady harvest of > 90% of EM energy from signal source, and tactfully recycling waste heat energy and mechanical energy. This study will furnish a new horizon for information transmission and artificial intelligence in the future.

Snake Scale-Inspired Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/Ti3CNTx@Polypyrrole Coatings for Ultrawide-Bandwidth Microwave and Visible Light Absorption

“…TiO 2 peak signals are detected at 458.6 and 464.7 eV, corroborating the TiO 2 phase appearing in the HRTEM in Figure e. Thus, the partial oxidation during the etching produced a TiO 2 phase that can coordinate the impedance matching , of Ti 3 CNT x . The N-C 2 peak present at 399.5 eV appears to be significantly enhanced, demonstrating the binding of PPyNFs and Ti 3 CNT x .…”

Flexible Multimodal Sensors Based on Fibrous Porous Networks of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Polydimethylsiloxane for Sensing and Distinguishing Vertical and Shear Force

“…The short response time and recovery time allow the sensor to display the detailed structure of the human pulse waveform. As shown in Figure d, the pulse wave peak (P-Wave), T-Wave, and D-Wave are clearly visible and the signal-to-noise ratio is up to 36.39 dB, which ensures the reliability of arterial pulse signal detection. , In addition, by fixing the sensor to the finger and tapping the desktop in the form of morse code, it is easily to read out the information represented by different tapping actions.…”
