The terahertz stealth and shielding performance of a new type of two-dimensional material, borophene, has been studied theoretically and experimentally. Studies have shown that borophene materials have good terahertz stealth and shielding properties. First-principles calculations show that compared with single-layer borophene, few-layer borophene has good terahertz stealth and shielding performance in the range of 0.1~2.7 THz. In the range of 2~4 layers, the terahertz stealth and shielding performance of few-layer borophene increases with the increase of the number of layers. The finite element simulation calculation results also confirmed this point. Using the few-layer borophene prepared by our research group as a raw material, a PDMS composite was prepared to verify the terahertz stealth and shielding performance of the few-layer borophene. In the ultra-wide frequency range of 0.1~2.7 THz, the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of the PDMS material mixed with few-layer borophene can reach 50 dB, and the reflection loss (RL) can reach 35 dB. With the concentration of few-layer borophene increasing, the terahertz stealth and shielding effectiveness of the material is enhanced. In addition, the simultaneous mixing of few-layer borophene and few-layer graphene will make the material exhibit better terahertz stealth and shielding performance compared with mixing separately.
