MXene, the new family of two-dimensional materials having numerous nanoscale layers, is being considered as a novel microwave absorption material. However, MXene/functionalized MXene-loaded polymer nanocomposites exhibit narrow reflection loss (RL) bandwidth (RL less than or equal to −10 dB). In order to enhance the microwave absorption bandwidth of MXene hybrid-matrix materials, for the first time, macroscopic design approach is carried out for TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene hybrids through simulation. The simulated results indicate that use of pyramidal meta structure of MXene can significantly tune the RL bandwidth. For optimized MXene hybrid-matrix materials pyramid pattern, the bandwidth enhances to 3–18 GHz. Experimental RL value well matched with the simulated RL. On the other hand, the optimized Fe 3 O 4 @TiO 2 -Ti 3 C 2 T x hybrid exhibits two specific absorption bandwidths (minimum RL value - −47 dB). Compared with other two-dimensional nanocomposites such as graphene or Fe 3 O 4 -graphene, MXene hybrid-matrix materials show better microwave absorption bandwidth in macroscopic pattern.

The library of two-dimensional materials is limited since many transition metal compounds are not stratified and can thus not be easily isolated as nanosheets. Liquid metal-based synthesis provides a new approach to overcome this limitation.

2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorous, silicene, graphene are at the forefront of being the most potent 2D materials for optoelectronic applications because of their exceptional properties. Several application-specific photodetectors based on 2D materials have been designed and manufactured due to a wide range and layer-dependent bandgaps. Different 2D materials stacked together give rise to many surprising electronic and optoelectronic phenomena of the junctions based on 2D materials. This has resulted in a lot of popularity of 2D heterostructures as compared to the original 2D materials. This chapter presents the progress of optoelectronic devices (photodetectors) based on 2D materials and their heterostructures.
