Modified MXene Aerogel With Broadband Microwave Absorption Inspired by Melanophila Acuminata Beetle. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)This work introduces a novel biomimetic strategy inspired by the infrared‐sensing sensilla of the Melanophila acuminata beetle. We have designed a multi‐level aerogel, featuring a three‐dimensional carbon framework decorated with synergistic CeO2 nanoparticles and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets.
