Abstract

AbstractThe phase engineering of the polarization interface is of great significance in modifying dielectric loss in electromagnetic wave (EMW) attenuation process, but hard to conduct in a complex hybrid system. Herein, a twin‐phase of β/γ‐MoCx@CN with matched Fermi level and closed work function properties in lightweight MoCx nanoflower is constructed, facilitating electron transport withdraw enhanced conductivity and polarization. Moreover, the EMW multiple dissipations among the β/γ‐MoCx@CN polarization interface is promoted, displaying better matched impedance. It delivered a remarkable minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −74.2 dB at the thickness of 1.5 mm, which far beyond the single phased β‐MoCx@CN, γ‐MoCx@CN and reported MoCx‐based EMW absorbers. The radar cross‐section (RCS) map of β/γ‐MoCx@CN is simulated, showing a brilliant maximum reduction value of 13.6 dB m2 at the theta angle of 30°. This work presented an excellent sample of atomic‐level manipulation of interfacial polarization in dielectric MoCx EMW absorption materials.
