Ionogels, Promising Exploration for Flexible Optically Transparent Tunable All‐Dielectric Electromagnetic Metamaterials

Ionogels, as a novel class of environmentally friendly electronic materials, have received extensive attention. This study successfully prepared P(AM‐co‐AA) ionogel with optical transparency and flexibility via chemical polymerization. Experimental outcomes reveal that the dispersion of anions and cations within the ionogel is effectively controlled by the polymer network, resulting in distinct dispersive dielectric property, which is suitable for applications in electromagnetic metamaterials. Leveraging these properties, two distinct electromagnetic metamaterial devices are developed: An Ionogel‐based Broadband Absorber achieves over 90% absorption across 10.9–25.36 GHz, and An Ionogel‐based Frequency Selective Rasorber (FSR) transmits within 4.62–5.86 GHz, exhibiting minimal insertion loss −1.45 dB and achieves greater than 90% absorption from 13 to 17.8 GHz. High agreement between experimental results and simulations validates the feasibility of utilizing ionogel in electromagnetic metamaterial applications and introduces a novel paradigm and methodology for designing and fabricating flexible electromagnetic metamaterial devices.
