Construction of Al/Ti₃C₂Tₓ composites via electrostatic self–assembly for visible–infrared camouflage applications
Source abstract
Abstract
Attaining the equilibrium of subdued luminance, low visible light reflectance, and high infrared reflectance constitutes a formidable challenge in the realm of visible–infrared camouflage. Here, an electrostatic self–assembly method was proposed to fabricate the Al/Ti₃C₂Tₓ (AT) composite. The synergy between Ti 3C 2T x’s favorable optical properties and significant conductivity of Al powder grants the AT composite excellent visible–infrared camouflage capabilities. At a mass ratio of 4:1 for Al powder to Ti 3C 2T x (AT–4), the composite displays a gray coloration, achieving a 40 % reduction in visible light reflectance and an emissivity value of 0.28. Such properties enable the AT–4 composite to effectively blend into various thermal environments, showcasing its superior infrared camouflage capabilities. Additionally, incorporating Ti 3C 2T x layers significantly boosts the local electric field in the composite, enhancing photon–material interactions and consequently reducing its visible light reflectance. This work offers valuable insights for the development of advanced materials with integrated visible–infrared camouflage capabilities.
