Abstract

Here, we report, for the first time, hydrogenated TiO2 nanocrystals as a novel and exciting microwave absorbing material, based on an innovative collective-movement-of-interfacial-dipole mechanism which causes collective-interfacial-polarization-amplified microwave absorption at the crystalline/disordered and anatase/rutile interfaces. This mechanism is intriguing and upon further exploration may trigger other new concepts and applications.
