From 2D MXenes to 3D Antennas Radiating Waves Across Microwave and RF Frequencies - M. Zarifi - Distinguished Microwave Lecturer
The emergence of MXenes, particularly Ti₃C₂Tₓ, has enabled the design of advanced electromagnetic devices with high conductivity, tunable surface chemistry, and compatibility with aqueous processing. Their use in 3D-printed polymer waveguides has demonstrated efficient guiding of RF and microwave signals across 8–33 GHz with up to 93% transmission efficiency. Additionally, reconfigurable MXene-based kirigami structures have shown promise for adaptive surfaces in environmental monitoring and space systems. In this presentation, we highlighted recent advancements in MXene-based electromagnetic devices, emphasizing their tunable properties, structural adaptability, and potential for next-generation communication and sensing applications.
This talk is part of the Microwave Theory and Technology Society Distinguished Lecturer Program. We also celebrate IEEE Day 2025 https://ieeeday.org/ with this event!
