MoS2‑Based Nanocomposites for Microwave Absorption: A Review

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), as a two-dimensional material, has a potential application prospect in microwave absorption, electromagnetic shielding, energy storage, electrochemistry, and other fields due to its unique structure, excellent electrical conductivity, abundant surface area, and good mechanical strength. In this paper, the microwave absorbing properties of MoS2-based composites are reviewed objectively, and the recent research achievements and progress in dielectric loss type and magnetic loss type composites are summarized. Then, the microwave absorption mechanism of MoS2-based composites is systematically analyzed in terms of dielectric loss and magnetic loss. At the same time, the application of MoS2-based microwave absorbing materials in current social needs is summarized including military radar stealth and civil electronic communication. In addition, the challenges and bottlenecks in the future development of microwave absorber materials are also presented.
