Abstract
The widespread use of electronic devices inevitably brings about the problem of electromagnetic pollution. As a result, it is important and urgent to develop efficient absorbing materials to alleviate increasing pollution issues. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) material-based microwave absorbers have attracted wide attention in microwave absorption due to their unique lamellar structure, large specific surface area, low density, good thermal and chemical stability. Through various modulation strategies such as structure configuration, pore/defect engineering, heteroatom doping and coupling of functional materials, 2D materials or 2D material-based composites exhibit excellent microwave absorption performance. In this review, the absorption mechanism is firstly introduced and then the latest progress in 2D material-based microwave absorbers is reviewed in depth. The challenges and future prospects for graphene, h-BN, and MXene-based microwave absorbers are discussed in the final part. This timely review aims to provide guidance or stimulation to develop advanced multifunctional 2D material-based microwave absorbers in this rapidly blossoming field.

Abstract
Herein, a simple, innovative, and efficient method is presented for synthesizing an electromagnetic wave (EMW)-absorbing material with a distinctive flower-ball structure. Acrylonitrile (AN)-styrene binary polymer microspheres (PAS) serve as seeds for the deposition of AN, forming petal-like structures and yielding uniform polymer flower balls (PAS&A-F). Carbonization of these flower balls produces PAS&A carbon flowers (PAS&A-CF) with excellent EMW absorption properties. PAS&A-CF carbonized at 800 °C exhibits a minimum reflection loss of -54.0 dB at a thickness of 2.92 mm and an optimal effective absorption bandwidth of 4.01 GHz. This exceptional performance is attributed to the unique petal-like cross-stacked flower-ball morphology, porous structure, N and O atom doping, and an appropriate degree of graphitization. These characteristics synergistically enhance impedance matching, multiple scattering and reflection, dipole polarization, and conductive loss. This straightforward, innovative, and highly efficient preparation approach, with precise control over surface morphology and temperature, offers a novel approach for developing high-performance EMW-absorbing materials.

Abstract
Sharp corners and edges with high surface curvature provide low-dimensional nanosized materials with special static magnetic properties. However, the surface engineering of their high-frequency magnetic response remains challenging, and the underlying mechanism requires further clarification. In this study, we propose a template-aided surface reorganization strategy for integrating surfaces with different curvatures into one permalloy architecture. The high-curvature surface demonstrates a dramatic variation in localized magnetic moments and confines the coupling of magnetic flux lines owing to high anisotropy, which helps concentrate magnetic energy absorption and dissipation. In addition, the magnetic resonances of multiple surfaces were superimposed by the spin-wave interaction for enhancing magnetic loss capacity, which cooperates with amorphous/crystalline interfacial polarization to achieve a satisfactory dielectric-magnetic synergistic electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance. The reflectance loss values increased from -13.4 dB for microspheres to -49.7 dB for surface-restructured ones. Remarkably, the effective absorption bandwidth can be extended to 7.68 GHz with a matching thickness of 2.0 mm. This advancement presents new possibilities for an elaborate design of magnetic EMW absorbers and establishes a basis for comprehending a complex magnetic response mechanism.

Abstract
Biomass carbon (BC) materials derived from agricultural waste have shown great potential in microwave absorption (MA). However, current research mainly focuses on high-frequency (8-18 GHz) MA, and much less effort has been spent on low-frequency (2-8 GHz) MA and other important functionalities such as energy storage. Herein, corn silk rich in carbon is utilized to prepare BC materials with uniform pores and large specific surface area through a straightforward chemical activation and carbonization process. Attributed to its optimized impedance matching, interfacial polarization and (N and O) heteroatom-induced dipole polarization, the optimal sample exhibits superior low-frequency MA capability, including a strong reflection loss (RL) of -75 dB at 6.88 GHz, an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ -10 dB) down to 2.8 GHz, and excellent radar cross-section reduction. Furthermore, it achieves a high initial discharge specific capacity of 1015.54 mA·h g-1 and stable cycling performance at 0.5 A g-1 in lithium-ion batteries owing to its heteroatom-rich porous structure with a large specific surface area. Our study offers a simple and low-cost way to fabricate high-performance multifunctional BC materials for low-frequency MA and lithium-ion energy storage.

Abstract
A reasonable construction of hollow structures to obtain high-performance absorbers is widely studied, but it is still a challenge to select suitable materials to improve the low-frequency attenuation performance. Here, the Fe3O4@C@NiO nanoprisms with unique tip shapes, asymmetric multi-path hollow cavity, and core-shell heteroepitaxy structure are designed and synthesized based on anisotropy and intrinsic physical characteristics. Impressively, by changing the load of NiO, the composites achieve strong absorption, broadband, low-frequency absorption: the reflection loss of -55.8 dB and the absorption bandwidth of 9.9 GHz covers both low and high frequency (2.9-6.1 and 11.3-18 GHz). The constructed anisotropic hollow and heterointerface nanoprisms can optimize impedance matching for low-frequency absorption (3.8-7.9 GHz) almost completely covering the 5G band. Especially, the influence of hollow path on the interface polarization and ferromagnetic coupling behavior is revealed through the simulation of electric and magnetic field distribution using the High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS). In addition, HFSS simulation shows that the Radar Cross-Sectional (RCS) value of the absorber at any angle is <-10 dB m2, which meets the complex requirements in practical application. This research paves a new way for the development of efficient low-frequency absorbers based on composition and structure design.

Abstract
Magnetic absorbers with high permeability have significant advantages in low-frequency and broadband electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. However, the insufficient magnetic loss and inherent high conductivity of existing magnetic absorbers limit the further expansion of EMW absorption bandwidth. Herein, the spinel (FeCoNiCrCu)3O4 high-entropy oxides (HEO) are successfully constructed on the surface of FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 high-entropy alloys (HEA) through low-temperature oxygen bath treatment. On the one hand, HEO and HEA have different magnetocrystalline anisotropies, which is conducive to achieving continuous natural resonance to improve magnetic loss. On the other hand, HEO with low conductivity can serve as an impedance matching layer, achieving magneto-electric co-modulation. When the thickness is 5 mm, the minimum reflection loss (RL) value and absorption bandwidth (RL < - 5 dB) of bi-phase high-entropy composites (BPHEC) can reach - 12.8 dB and 633 MHz, respectively. The RCS reduction value of multilayer sample with impedance gradient characteristic can reach 18.34 dB m2. In addition, the BPHEC also exhibits temperature-stable EMW absorption performance, high Curie temperature, and oxidation resistance. The absorption bandwidth maintains between 593 and 691 MHz from - 50 to 150 °C. This work offers a new and tunable strategy toward modulating the electromagnetic genes for temperature-stable ultra-broadband megahertz EMW absorption.

Abstract
In order to achieve precise shaping control of FeCoNi + 1%Y2O3 laser-directed energy deposition (LDED) coatings and to reveal the influence of LDED process parameters on coating morphology, the response surface methodology (RSM) is employed in this study. The process parameters, including laser power, scanning speed, and powder feeding rate, are comprehensively considered, with the dilution rate, width-to-height ratio, and cladding area as evaluation criteria. A regression model is established to analyze both the individual and interactive effects of process parameters on forming quality. The findings indicate that the ideal process parameters are a laser power of 706.8 W, scanning speed of 646.2 mm/min, and powder feeding rate of 12 g/min. Experimental validation shows that the mean actual errors compared to the predicted values for dilution rate, width-to-height ratio, and cladding area are 7.36%, 10.03%, and 3.50%, respectively, proving the reliability of the model. The findings provide a theoretical basis for the prediction and control of the morphology of high-entropy alloy deposited layers with the addition of Y2O3.

Abstract
Deterministic fabrication of highly thermally conductive composite film with satisfying low-frequency electromagnetic (EM) absorption performance exhibits great potential in advancing the application of 5G smart electric devices but persists challenge. Herein, a multifunctional flexible film combined with hetero-structured Fe6W6C-FeWO4@C (FWC-O@C) as the absorber and aramid nanofibers (ANFs) as the matrix was prepared. Driven by an atomic gradient infusion reduction strategy, the carbon atoms of absorbers can be precisely relocated from carbon shell to core oxometallate lattice, triggering in situ carbothermic reduction for customization of unique oxometallate-carbide heterojunctions and surface geometrical structure. Such an atoms reconstruction process effectively regulates interface electronic structure and magnetic configuration, resulting in enhanced polarization loss from abundant heterointerfaces and crystal defects and magnetic loss from hierarchical structure endowed magnetic coupling interaction, which jointly contributes to the efficient low-frequency EM absorption performance. Eventually, optimized FWC-O@C microplate exhibits a broad absorption bandwidth surpassed the entire C band, and the assembled FWC-O@C/ANFs composite film also performs a high thermal conductivity over 2500 % higher than that of the pure ANFs. These findings provide a new insight into the atomic reconstruction affected EM properties and a generalized methodological guidance for preparing multifunctional thermally conductive composite films.

Abstract
The design and fabrication of high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials are essential in developing electronic communication technology for defense and civilian applications. These materials function by interacting with EMWs, creating various effects such as polarization relaxation, magnetic resonance, and magnetic hysteresis in order to absorb EMWs. Significant progress has been made to improve the dimensional performance of such materials, emphasizing the 'thin, light, broad, and strong' functional specifications. One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures are characterized by high surface area, low density, and unique electromagnetic properties, providing promising solutions to address some of the challenges in facilitating multiple reflections and wideband resonances, which are crucial for effective EMW attenuation. This paper provides an overview of recent advances in exploring 1D structures for enhancing EMW absorption and their controllability. The design and fabrication of nanofibers, nanowires, and other 1D nanostructures are highlighted. The advantages of 1D nanomaterials in EMW absorption are also described. Challenges and future directions are discussed, focusing on developing new design concepts and fabrication methods for achieving high-performance and lightweight EMW absorbers and enhancing fundamental understanding of EMW absorption mechanisms.

Abstract
Microwave absorbers with infrared camouflage are highly desirable in military fields. Self-supporting 3D architectures with tailorable shapes, composed of FeCoNi alloy/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) @ carbon nanofibers (CNFs), were fabricated in this study. On the one hand, multiple loss mechanisms were introduced into the high-elastic sponges. Controllable space conductive networks caused by the in situ growth of CNTs on the CNFs contributed to the effective dielectric and resistance loss. Moreover, the uniformly distributed magnetic alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with dense magnetic coupling resulted in magnetic loss. On the other hand, heterogeneous interfaces were constructed by multicomponent engineering, causing interfacial polarization and polarization loss. Furthermore, the internal structures of sponges were optimized by regulating the alloy NPs sizes and the growth state of CNTs, then tuning the impedance matching and microwave absorption. Therefore, the high-elastic sponges with ultra-low density (7.6 mg·cm-3) were found to have excellent radar and infrared-compatible stealth properties, displaying a minimum refection loss (RLmin) of -50.5 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABmax) of 5.36 GHz. Moreover, the radar stealth effect of the sponges was evaluated by radar cross-section (RCS) simulation, revealing that the multifunctional sponges have a promising prospect in military applications.

Abstract
The fabrication of carbon nanocoil (CNC)-based chiral-dielectric-magnetic trinity composites holds great significance in low-frequency microwave absorption fields. However, it is not clear that how the different magnetic systems affect the magnetic and frequency responses of the composites. Herein, four types of magnetic metals, FeCo, CoNi, FeNi, and FeCoNi, are selected to be combined with the chiral templates respectively, resulting in four types of chiral-dielectric-magnetic composites with similar morphology. The CNC templates endow all the composites with excellent dielectric loss. Further permeability analysis and the micro-magnetic simulation confirm that the frequency response region can be well adjusted by changing the magnetic systems with specific magnetic resonance modes and magnetic domain motion. Due to the synergistic effect between magnetism, chirality, and dielectricity, the FeNi-based composites exhibit the best low-frequency microwave absorption performance. The minimum RL of -60.7 dB is achieved at 6.7 GHz with an ultra-low filling ratio of 10%, and the EAB value in low-frequency region is extended to 3.7 GHz. This study provides further guidelines for the design of the chiral-dielectric-magnetic trinity composites in low-frequency microwave absorption.

Abstract
The widespread adoption of wireless communication technology, especially with the introduction of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, has greatly improved our quality of life. However, this progress has led to increased electromagnetic (EM) interference and pollution issues. The development of advanced microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) is one of the most feasible solutions to solve these problems, and has therefore received widespread attention. However, MAMs still face many limitations in practical applications and are not yet widely used. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current status and future prospects of MAMs, and identifies the various challenges from practical application scenarios. Furthermore, strategies and principles for the construction of multifunctional MAMs are discussed in order to address the possible problems that are faced. This article also presents the potential applications of MAMs in other fields including environmental science, energy conversion, and medicine. Finally, an analysis of the potential outcomes and future challenges of multifunctional MAMs are presented.

Abstract
Interface design has enormous potential for the enhancement of interfacial polarization and microwave absorption properties. However, the construction of interfaces is always limited in components of a single dimension. Developing systematic strategies to customize multidimensional interfaces and fully utilize advantages of low-dimensional materials remains challenging. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have garnered significant attention owing to their distinctive electrical conductivity and exceptional interfacial effects. In this study, a series of hollow TMDCs@C fibers are synthesized via sacrificial template of CdS and confined growth of TMDCs embedded in the fibers. The complex permittivity of the hollow TMDCs@C fibers can be adjusted by tuning the content of CdS templates. Importantly, the multidimensional interfaces of the fibers contribute to elevating the microwave absorption performance. Among the hollow TMDCs@C fibers, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of the hollow MoS2@C fibers can reach -52.0 dB at the thickness of 2.5 mm, with a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 4.56 GHz at 2.0 mm. This work establishes an alternative approach for constructing multidimensional coupling interfaces and optimizing TMDCs as microwave absorption materials.

Abstract
Due to their poor light penetration, photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy are ineffective in treating deep tissue infections, such as osteomyelitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Here, a microwave (MW)-responsive magnetic targeting composite system consisting of ferric oxide (Fe3O4)/Prussian blue (PB) nanoparticles, gentamicin (Gent), and biodegradable poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is reported. The PLGA/Fe3O4/PB/Gent complex is used in combination with MW thermal therapy (MTT), MW dynamic therapy (MDT), and chemotherapy (CT) to treat acute osteomyelitis infected with S. aureus-infected. The powerful antibacterial effect of the PLGA/Fe3O4/PB/Gent is determined by the synergistic effects of heat and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by the Fe3O4/PB nanoparticles under MW irradiation and the effective release of Gent at the infection site via magnetic targeting. The antibacterial mechanism of the PLGA/Fe3O4/PB/Gent under MW irradiation is analyzed using bacterial transcriptome RNA sequencing. The MW heat and ROS reduce the activity of the protein transporters on the bacterial membrane, along with the transport of various ions and the acceleration of phosphate metabolism, which can lead to increased permeability of the bacterial membrane, damage the ribosome and DNA, and accompany the internal protein efflux of the bacteria, thus effectively killing the bacteria.

Abstract
For materials with coexisting phases, the transition from a random to an ordered distribution of materials often generates new mechanisms. Although the magnetic confinement effect has improved the electromagnetic (EM) performance, the transition from random to ordered magnetic confinement positions remains a synthetic challenge, and the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Herein, precise control of magnetic nanoparticles is achieved through a spatial confinement growth strategy, preparing five different modalities of magnetic confined carbon fiber materials, effectively inhibiting magnetic agglomeration. Systematic studies have shown that the magnetic confinement network can refine CoNi NPs size and enhance strong magnetic coupling interactions. Compared to CoNi@HCNFs on the hollow carbon fibers (HCNFs) outer surface, HCNFs@CoNi constructed on the inner surface induce stronger spatial charge polarization relaxation at the interface and exhibit stronger magnetic coupling interactions at the inner surface due to the high-density magnetic coupling units at the micro/nanoscale, thereby respectively enhancing dielectric and magnetic losses. Remarkably, they achieve a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -64.54 dB and an absorption bandwidth of 5.60 GHz at a thickness of 1.77 mm. This work reveals the microscale mechanism of magnetic confinement-induced different polarization relaxation and magnetic response, providing a new strategy for designing magnetic materials.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of an intelligent MEMS sensor employing the oxidized medium-entropy alloy (O-MEA) of FeCoNi as the gas-sensing material. Due to the specific catalytic exothermic reaction of the O-MEA on H2/CO, the sensor shows great selectivity for H2 and CO at 150 °C of the integrated microheater in the MEMS device, with the theoretical detection limit of 0.3 ppm for H2 and 0.29 ppm for CO. The MEMS heater, capable of instantaneous temperature changes in pulse operation mode, offers a novel approach for thermal modulation of the sensor, which is crucial for the adsorption and reaction of H2/CO molecules on the sensing layer surface. Consequently, we investigate the gas-sensing capabilities of the sensor under pulse heating modes (PHMs) of the MEMS heater and then propose the gas-sensing mechanism. The results indicate that PHMs significantly not only reduce the operating temperature and power consumption but also enhance the sensor's functionality by providing multivariable response signals, paving the way for intelligent gas detection. Based on the high selectivity to H2 and CO, transforming the transient sensing curves into two-dimensional images via Gramian Angular Field (GAF) model and subsequent modeling using a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, we have realized efficient and intelligent recognition of H2 and CO. This work provides insight for the development of low-power, high-performance MEMS gas sensors and further intelligence of individual MEMS sensors.

Abstract
The construction of heterogeneous microstructure and the selection of multicomponents have turned into a research hotspot in developing ultralight, multifunctional, high-efficiency electromagnetic wave absorbing (EMA) materials. Although aerogels are promising materials to fulfill the above requirements, the increase in functional fillers inevitably leads to the deterioration of intrinsic properties. Tuning the electromagnetic properties from the structural design point of view remains a difficult challenge. Herein, we design customized pore creation strategies via introducing sacrificial templates to optimize the conductive path and construct the discontinuous dielectric medium, increasing dielectric loss and achieving efficient microwave absorption properties. A 3D porous composite (MEM) was crafted, which encapsulated an EVA/FeCoNi (EVA/MNPs) framework with Ti3C2Tx MXene coating by employing a direct heated cross-linking and immersion method. Controllable adjustment of the conductive network inside the porous structure and regulation of the dielectric character are achieved by porosity variation. Eventually, the MEM-5 with a porosity of 66.67% realizes RLmin of -39.2 dB (2.2 mm) and can cover the entire X band. Moreover, through off-axis electronic holography and the calculation of conduction loss and polarization loss, the dielectric property is deeply investigated, and the inner mechanism of optimization is pointed out. Thanks to the inherent characteristic of EVA and the porous structure, MEM-5 showed excellent thermal insulating and superior compressibility, which can maintain 60 °C on a 90-100 °C continuous heating stage and reached a maximum compressive strength of 60.12 kPa at 50% strain. Conceivably, this work provides a facile method for the fabrication of highly efficient microwave absorbers applied under complex conditions.

In Situ Exsolution-Prepared Solid-Solution-Type Sulfides with Intracrystal Polarization for Efficient and Selective Absorption of Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Wave. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2403723.

Abstract
The excellent dielectric properties and tunable structural design of metal sulfides have attracted considerable interest in realizing electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. However, compared with traditional monometallic and bimetallic sulfides that are extensively studied, the unique physical characteristics of solid-solution-type sulfides in response to EMW have not been revealed yet. Herein, a unique method for preparing high-purity solid-solution-type sulfides is proposed based on solid-phase in situ exsolution of different metal ions from hybrid precursors. Utilizing CoAl-LDH/MIL-88A composite as a precursor, Fe0.8Co0.2S single-phase nanoparticles are uniformly in situ formed on an amorphous substrate (denoted as CoAl), forming CoAl/Fe0.8Co0.2S heterostructure. Combing with density functional theory (DFT) calculations and wave absorption simulations, it is revealed that Fe0.8Co0.2S solid solution has stronger intracrystal polarization and electronic conductivity than traditional monometallic and bimetallic sulfides, which lead to higher dielectric properties in EM field. Therefore, CoAl/Fe0.8Co0.2S heterostructure exhibits significantly enhanced EMW absorption ability in the low-frequency region (2-6 GHz) and can achieve frequency screening by selectively absorbing EMW of specific frequency. This work not only provides a unique method for preparing high-purity solid-solution-type sulfides but also fundamentally reveals the physical essence of their excellent EMW absorption performance.

Abstract
Morphological engineering is crucial for conceiving high-efficiency electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials. However, for carbon fiber-based composites, the management of micromorphology is significantly astricted by complex fabrication. It remains highly challenging to clarify the micromorphological influences on the EMW loss mechanism of carbon fiber-based absorption materials. In this work, micromorphology-optimized Cu/C nanocomposite fibers are prepared by virtue of a metal-organic framework (MOF) template-assisted strategy. Through skillfully grafting the morphology-regulation capacity of MOFs onto composite fibers, the Oswald maturation and particle distribution issues of Cu nanoparticles are settled, and the efficient electron transport pathways are established by the bead-like structure of the fiber matrix. Compared to prepared conventional Cu/C nanocomposite fibers, the MOF template-assisted strategy stimulates a remarkable leap in EMW absorption performance. The minimum reflection loss value of Cu/C-40 can reach -64.5 dB, 15.96 times lower than that of a conventional sample (Cu/C-2). The maximum effective absorption bandwidth extends to 6.08 GHz, contrasting the ineffective performance of Cu/C-2. Systematic research demonstrates that the enabled graphite-catalytic function of Cu nanoparticles collaborated with an optimized conductive network structure plays a pivotal role in creating field-induced leakage currents, facilitating conductive loss, the primary contributor to EMW dissipation. This work establishes a correlation mechanism between micromorphology and EMW loss, presenting a compelling example of customizable carbon fiber-based absorbers.

Abstract
Five groups of FeCo alloy samples with different atomic ratios of Fe/Co (3:7, 4:6, 5:5, 6:4, 7:3) were prepared using the condensation reflux method. The results indicate that varying the atomic ratios of Fe/Co has a significant impact on the microstructure, electromagnetic parameters, and microwave absorption properties of FeCo alloys. As the Fe atom content increases, the morphology of the FeCo alloys transitions from irregular flower-shaped to uniformly spherical and eventually to lamellar. The attenuation of electromagnetic waves in the five groups of alloys is primarily due to magnetic loss. Among them, Fe6Co4 exhibits the best absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss (RL) value of -35.56 dB at a frequency of 10.40 GHz when the matching thickness is 7.90 mm. Additionally, at a matching thickness of 5.11 mm, the maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) reached 2.56 GHz (15.44-18 GHz).

Abstract
The dramatic growth of smart wearable electronics has generated a demand for conductive hydrogels due to their tunability, stimulus responsiveness, and multimodal sensing capabilities. However, the substantial trade-off between mechanical and electrical properties hinders their multifunctionality. Here, we report a double-network hydrogel composite that features a conductive "highway" constructed using magnetic-field-aligned nickel nanowires and liquid metal. The liquid metal fills the gaps between the aligned nickel nanowires. Such interconnected structures can form efficient conductive paths at low filler content, resulting in high conductivity (1.11 × 104 S/m) and mechanical compliance (Young's modulus, 89 kPa; toughness, 721 kJ/m3). When used as a wearable sensor, the hydrogel displays a high sensitivity and fast response for wireless motion detection and human-machine interaction. Furthermore, by exploiting its outstanding conductivity and electrical heating capacity, the hydrogel integrates electromagnetic shielding and thermal management functionalities. Owing to these all-around properties, our design offers a broader platform for expanding hydrogel applications.

Abstract
This study addresses the challenge of designing simple and environmentally friendly methods for the preparation of effective electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials with tailored microstructures and multi-component regulation. N, O doped walnut-like porous carbon composite microspheres loaded with FeCo nanoparticles (WPCM/Fe-Co) are synthesized through high-temperature carbonization combined with soap-free emulsion polymerization and hydrothermal methods, avoiding the use of toxic solvents and complex conditions. The incorporation of magnetic components enhances magnetic loss, complementing dielectric loss to optimize EMW attenuation. The unique walnut-like morphology further improves impedance matching. The proportions of Fe and Co components can be adjusted to regulate the material's reflection loss, thickness, and bandwidth, allowing for fine-tuning of absorption performance. At a low filling ratio (16.7%), the optimal WPCM/Fe-Co composites exhibit a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -48.34 dB (10.33 GHz, 3.0 mm) and an overall effective absorbing bandwidth (EAB) covering the entire C bands, X bands, and Ku bands. This work introduces a novel approach to composition regulation and presents a green synthesis method for magnetic carbon composite absorbers with high-performance EMW absorption at low loading.

Abstract
Materials exhibiting high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption have garnered considerable scientific and technological attention, yet encounter significant challenges. Developing new materials and innovative structural design concepts is crucial for expanding the application field of electromagnetic wave absorption. Particularly, hierarchical structure engineering has emerged as a promising approach to enhance the physical and chemical properties of materials, providing immense potential for creating versatile electromagnetic wave absorption materials. Herein, an exceptional multi-dimensional hierarchical structure was meticulously devised, unleashing the full microwave attenuation capabilities through in situ growth, self-reduction, and multi-heterogeneous interface integration. The hierarchical structure features a three-dimensional carbon framework, where magnetic nanoparticles grow in situ on the carbon skeleton, creating a necklace-like structure. Furthermore, magnetic nanosheets assemble within this framework. Enhanced impedance matching was achieved by precisely adjusting component proportions, and intelligent integration of diverse interfaces bolstered dielectric polarization. The obtain Fe3O4-Fe nanoparticles/carbon nanofibers/Al-Fe3O4-Fe nanosheets composites demonstrated outstanding performance with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of - 59.3 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (RL ≤ - 10 dB) extending up to 5.6 GHz at 2.2 mm. These notable accomplishments offer fresh insights into the precision design of high-efficient electromagnetic wave absorption materials.

Abstract
With the advent of wireless technology, magnetic-carbon composites with strong electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption capability in low-/middle-frequency range are highly desirable. However, it remains challenging for rational construction of such absorbers bearing multiple magnetic components that show uniform distribution and favorable magnetic loss. Herein, a facile metal-oxo cluster (MOC) precursor strategy is presented to produce high-efficiency magnetic carbon composites. Nanosized MOC Fe15 shelled with organic ligands is employed as a novel magnetic precursor, thus allowing in situ formation and uniform deposition of multicomponent magnetic Fe/Fe3O4@Fe3C and Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles on graphene oxides (GOs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), respectively. Owing to the good dispersity and efficient magnetic-dielectric synergy, quaternary Fe/Fe3O4@Fe3C-GO exhibits strong low-frequency absorption with RLmin of -53.5 dB at C-band and absorption bandwidth covering 3.44 GHz, while ultrahigh RLmin of -73.2 dB is achieved at X-band for ternary Fe/Fe3O4-CNT. The high performance for quaternary and ternary composites is further supported by the optimal specific EMW absorption performance (-15.7 dB mm-1 and -31.8 dB mm-1) and radar cross-section reduction (21.72 dB m2 and 34.37 dB m2). This work provides a new avenue for developing lightweight low-/middle-frequency EMW absorbers, and will inspire the investigation of more advanced EMW absorbers with multiple magnetic components and regulated microstructures.

Abstract
Lightweight and low-cost one-dimensional carbon materials, especially biomass carbon fibers with multiple porous structures, have received wide attention in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption. In this paper, graphene-coated N-doped porous carbon nanofibers (PCNF) with excellent wave absorption properties were successfully synthesized via electrostatic spinning, electrostatic self-assembly, and high-temperature carbonization. The obtained results showed that the minimum reflection loss of the absorbing carbon fiber obtained under the carbonization condition of 800 °C is -51.047 dB, and the absorption bandwidth of reflection loss below -20 dB is 10.16 GHz. This work shows that carbonization temperature and filler content have a certain effect on the wave-absorbing properties of fiber, graphene with nanofiber, and the design and preparation of high-performance absorbing materials by combining the characteristics of graphene and nanofibers and multi-component coupling to provide new ideas for the research of absorbing materials.

Abstract
Fe3Al is a good magnetic loss absorber for microwave absorption. However, due to the relatively high density and poor impedance matching ratio, the potential of Fe3Al cannot be fully released. Herein, a dielectric loss absorber of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is coupled with Fe3Al to form Fe3Al/CNTs composite absorbers. CNTs are randomly tangled and coated on the surface of the Fe3Al flakes, forming a connecting conductive network. By carefully tuning the content of CNTs, the optimized Fe3Al/CNTs composite absorber with 1.5% of CNTs can combine both magnetic loss and dielectric loss mechanisms, thus achieving an impedance matching ratio close to 1 while keeping strong attenuation for enhanced microwave absorption. As a result, an effective absorption bandwidth (RL ≤ -10 dB) of 4.73 GHz at a thickness of 2 mm is achieved.

[PMID: 38473629 DOI: 10.3390/ma17051157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
The field of P-band (0.3-1 GHz) absorption has witnessed rapid development in metamaterial absorbers due to their exceptional designability and the absence of restrictions imposed by the one-fourth wavelength rule. In this study, we combined carbonyl iron powder (CIP) composites with a periodic structure composed of metal capacitive patterns and employed a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the electromagnetic parameters of the CIP substrate. By selecting the appropriate shape and material for the units of pattern based on transmission line theory, as well as regulating relevant structural parameters, we successfully designed an ultra-thin broadband metamaterial absorber for the P-band. Experimental results demonstrate that within the range of 0.3-0.85 GHz, the reflection loss of our absorber remains below -5 dB, with a maximum value of -9.54 dB occurring at 0.45 GHz. Remarkably, this absorber possesses a thickness equivalent to only 1/293 of its working wavelength. Then, we conducted analyses on electric field distribution, magnetic field distribution, and energy loss density. Our findings suggest that high-performance absorption in metamaterials can be attributed to λ/4 resonant or coupling effects between structural units or diffraction phenomena. This absorber offers several advantages, including broad low-frequency absorption capability, ultra-thin profile, and convenient fabrication process, thus providing valuable theoretical insights for designing metamaterial structures.

Abstract
The excessive aggregation of magnetic metal particles and the resulting skin effect tend to cause a serious imbalance in impedance matching, which hinders its application in aerospace and military wave absorption fields. Obviously, effective dispersion configuration and network construction are two practical measures to develop broadband lightweight absorbers. Based on the recycling theme, pomegranate plasma heterostructure regulated one-dimensional (1D) biomass derived microtube networks are achieved through the conversion and utilization of waste Platanus ball fibers. The metal-organic framework strategy successfully avoids the hard agglomeration of metal particles. The pomegranate seed-like heterostructure effectively modulated the impedance of carbon microtubes, resulting in coordinated dielectric and magnetic losses. Such composites exhibited an effective absorbing bandwidth of 6.08 GHz and a minimum reflection loss of -29.8 dB. This work provides a new approach for constructing sustainable ultralight electromagnetic wave absorbers using plasmon modification and a 1D built-up network structure.

Abstract
Dimensional design and heterogeneous interface engineering are promising approaches for the fabrication of superior absorbers with high loss performance and a wide effective bandwidth. Therein, ZnO nanorods were successfully synthesized and combined with CoNi nanosheets by hydrothermal method, and PDA was then encapsulated on the surface of the material to form a unique one dimensional (1D) core-sheath structure. The extensive defects and residual functional groups are present in the calcined material, as well as the multiple heterogeneous interfaces enhance the dielectric loss induced by polarization. Simultaneously, the 1D structure wrapped with PDA offers an efficient pathway for electron transfer, hence facilitating the enhancement of conductive loss. In addition, the CoNi-LDHs sheet layer stacked on the surface not only causes multiple scattering and reflections of electromagnetic waves, but also provides magnetic losses to optimize the impedance matching. Finally, radar cross section (RCS) simulations further reveal that the composite can dissipate electromagnetic energy in practical applications. Consequently, the 1D multilayer ZnO@CoNi/C composite exhibits an optimal reflection loss of -55 dB with a thickness of 2.3 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) value of 6.8 GHz when the filling ratio is only 20 wt%. In summary, this paper provides a new direction for the fabrication of 1D multilayer nonhomogeneous interfacial absorbers with excellent performance.

Abstract
The synthesis of materials with a multicomponent hierarchical structure is an essential strategy for achieving high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. However, conventional design strategies face challenges in terms of the rational construction of specific architecture. In this study, we employ a combined space-restricted and hierarchical construction strategy to surface-plant MoS2 nanosheets on yolk-shell structural carbon-modified Co-based composites, leading to the development of high-performance Co/NC@void@C@MoS2 absorbers with advanced architecture. The surface-planted MoS2 nanosheets, the Co/NC magnetic yolk, and the dielectric carbon shell work together to enhance the impedance matching characteristics and synergistic loss capabilities in the composites. Experimental results indicate that Co/NC@void@C-700@MoS2 exhibited the best absorption performance with an effective absorption bandwidth of 7.54 GHz (at 2.05 mm) and a minimum reflection loss of -60.88 dB (at 1.85 mm). Furthermore, radar cross-section simulation results demonstrate that Co/NC@void@C-700@MoS2 effectively suppresses the scattering and transmission of EMWs on perfect electric conductor substrates, implying its superior practical application value. This study provides inspiration and experimental basis for designing and optimizing EMW absorption materials with hierarchical yolk-shell architecture.

Abstract
High entropy alloys (HEA) have garnered significant attention in electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption due to their efficient synergism among multiple components and tunable electronic structures. However, their high density and limited chemical stability hinder their progress as lightweight absorbers. Incorporating HEA with carbon offers a promising solution, but synthesizing stable HEA/carbon composite faces challenges due to the propensity for phase separation during conventional heat treatments. Moreover, EMW absorption mechanisms in HEAs may be different from established empirical models due to their high-entropy effect. This underscores the urgent need to synthesize stable and lightweight HEA/carbon absorbers and uncover their intrinsic absorption mechanisms. Herein, we successfully integrated a quinary FeCoNiCuMn HEA into a honeycomb-like porous carbon nanofiber (HCNF) using electrostatic spinning and the Joule-heating method. Leveraging the inherent lattice distortion effects and honeycomb structure, the HCNF/HEA composite demonstrates outstanding EMW absorption properties at an ultralow filler loading of 2 wt %. It achieves a minimum reflection loss of -65.8 dB and boasts a maximum absorption bandwidth of up to 7.68 GHz. This study not only showcases the effectiveness of combining HCNF with HEA, but also underscores the potential of Joule-heating synthesis for developing lightweight HEA-based absorbers.

Abstract
Industrial lignin, a by-product of pulping for papermaking fibers or of second-generation ethanol production, is primarily served as a low-grade combustible energy source. The fabrication of high-value-added functional materials with industrial lignin is still a challenge. Herein, a three-dimensional hierarchical lignin-derived porous carbon (HLPC) was prepared with lignosulfonate as the carbon source and MgCO3 as the template. The uniform mixing of precursor and template agent resulted in the construction of a three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure. HLPC presented excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance. With a low filler content of 7 wt%, HLPC showed a minimum reflection loss (RL) value of -41.8 dB (1.7 mm, 13.8 GHz), and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.53 GHz (1.6 mm). In addition, the enhancement mechanism of HLPC for EMW absorption was also explored through comparing the morphology and electromagnetic parameters of lignin-derived carbon (LC) and lignin-derived porous carbon (LPC). The three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure endowed the carbon with a high pore volume, resulting in an abundant gas-solid interface between air and carbon for interfacial polarization. This structure also provided conductive networks for conduction loss. This work offers a strategy to synthesize biomass-based carbon for high-performance EMW absorption.

Abstract
With the increased usage of electromagnetic microwaves (EM) in wireless communication technology, the problem of electromagnetic radiation pollution has grown dramatically. This study successfully prepared novel Co/C magnetic nanocomposite fibers for EM absorption using the electrospinning and carbonization methods. The morphology, composition, magnetic properties, and EM absorption performance were extensively characterized. This material shows exceptional EM absorption performance, achieving -72.01 dB (at 2.08 mm) for minimum reflection loss (RLmin) and 5.4 GHz (at 1.68 mm) for effective absorption bandwidth (EAB). The performance surpasses not only any single precursor but also stands as the best in similar investigations. It can be attributed to the microstructure of magnetic Co nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanofibers and the macrostructure of cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) conductive networks. The combination of these structures resulted in excellent dielectric loss, magnetic loss, and impedance matching. This research offers new insights into the production of one-dimensional (1D) carbon-based absorbers, while also establishing a theoretical foundation for exploring the application potential of this material. These findings may contribute to the development of more efficient and practical EM absorption materials in the future.

Abstract
The demand of microwave absorption materials (MAMs) with unique morphologies and electromagnetic (EM) balance has become necessary in recent years. Due to the ease of synthesis and tunable structure, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used for this special MAMs. In this study, a new three-dimensional hybrid MOF is proposed that is co-doped with six equally branched star morphologies. The Co-C composite has the same six-branched morphology as that of the precursor. When the EM wave is incident, this special structure makes it easier for the EM wave to enter the material vertically due to the expansion of the incident surface, which is effective in adjusting the transmission path of the electron and the reflection and distribution of the EM wave. Because of the special morphology and magneto-dielectric synergy, the Co-C composite shows a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -48.5 dB at 11.0 GHz at an absorption thickness of 3.0 mm, with a microwave absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 6.1 GHz. This research provides a practical guidance for preparing the MAMs of special star structure.

Abstract
Although various bioinspired devices designed to increase absorption and minimize reflection have been developed, there is no research focusing on wideband electromagnetic (EM) absorbers at 75-110 GHz, which is not conducive to the advancement of millimeter wave technology. Herein, inspired by the ultrablack butterfly scale nanostructure, an innovative flexible multistage honeycomb structure absorber (FMHSA) of carbonyl iron (CIP)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/flexible photopolymer resin (FPR) composite is successfully prepared by digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. FMHSA exhibits excellent EM wave absorption performance with full band absorption at 75-110 GHz under different bending states. At the bending angle of 150°, The effective absorption bandwidth of FMHSA is 35 GHz, covering the whole W-band, and its minimum reflection loss (RL) value is -37.04 dB. Moreover, integrated functionalities are revealed in the FMHSA, including superior flexibility, recoverability, and lightweight feature. Such findings may prove to be useful for the design of flexible absorbers with potential EM absorption and improved wearability.

Abstract
Developing carbon encapsulated magnetic composites with rational design of microstructure for achieving high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption in a facile, sustainable, and energy-efficiency approach is highly demanded yet remains challenging. Here, a type of N-doped carbon nanotube (CNT) encapsulated CoNi alloy nanocomposites with diverse heterostructures are synthesized via the facile, sustainable autocatalytic pyrolysis of porous CoNi-layered double hydroxide/melamine. Specifically, the formation mechanism of the encapsulated structure and the effects of heterogenous microstructure and composition on the EMW absorption performance are ascertained. With the presence of melamine, CoNi alloy emerges its autocatalysis effect to generate N-doped CNTs, leading to unique heterostructure and high oxidation stability. The abundant heterogeneous interfaces induce strong interfacial polarization to EMWs and optimize impedance matching characteristic. Combined with the inherent high conductive and magnetic loss capabilities, the nanocomposites accomplish a high-efficiency EMW absorption performance even at a low filling ratio. The minimum reflection loss of -84.0 dB at the thickness of 3.2 mm and a maximum effective bandwidth of 4.3 GHz are obtained, comparable to the best EMW absorbers. Integrated with the facile, controllable, and sustainable preparation approach of the heterogenous nanocomposites, the work shows a great promise of the nanocarbon encapsulation protocol for achieving lightweight, high-performance EMW absorption materials.

Abstract
Graphene aerogels (GAs) possess a remarkable capability to absorb electromagnetic waves (EMWs) due to their favorable dielectric characteristics and unique porous structure. Nevertheless, the introduction of nitrogen atoms into graphene aerogels can result in improved impedance matching. In recent years, nitrogen-doped graphene aerogels (NGAs) have emerged as promising materials, particularly when combined with magnetic metals, magnetic oxides, carbon nanotubes, and polymers, forming innovative composite systems with excellent multi-functional and broadband absorption properties. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of the synthesis methods and the EMW absorption mechanism of NGAs, along with an overview of the absorption properties of nitrogen-doped graphene-based aerogels. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the potential challenges that NGAs may encounter. By highlighting the substantial contribution of NGAs in the field of EMW absorption, this study aims to facilitate the innovative development of NGAs toward achieving broadband absorption, lightweight characteristics, and multifunctionality.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXene) have emerged as promising candidates for microwave absorption (MA) materials. However, they also have some drawbacks, such as poor impedance matching, high self-stacking tendency, and high density. To tackle these challenges, MXene nanosheets were incorporated into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers and subsequently assembled into a three-dimensional (3D) network structure through PAN carbonization, yielding MXene/C aerogels. The 3D network effectively extends the path of microcurrent transmission, leading to enhanced conductive loss of electromagnetic (EM) waves. Moreover, the aerogel's rich pore structure significantly improves the impedance matching while effectively reducing the density of the MXene-based absorbers. EM parameter analysis shows that the MXene/C aerogels exhibit a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of - 53.02 dB (f = 4.44 GHz, t = 3.8 mm), and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.3 GHz (t = 2.4 mm, 7.44-12.72 GHz). Radar cross-sectional (RCS) simulations were employed to assess the radar stealth effect of the aerogels, revealing that the maximum RCS reduction value of the perfect electric conductor covered by the MXene/C aerogel reaches 12.02 dB m2. In addition to the MA performance, the MXene/C aerogel also demonstrates good thermal insulation performance, and a 5-mm-thick aerogel can generate a temperature gradient of over 30 °C at 82 °C. This study provides a feasible design approach for creating lightweight, efficient, and multifunctional MXene-based MA materials.

Abstract
Conduction and polarization losses are the main forms of dielectric loss, and regulating these mechanisms is key to obtaining favorable electromagnetic wave absorption performance. In this study, the conversion of graphite N and pyridine N in Cu-based metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived composites was adopted to modulate conduction and polarization losses by tuning the pyrolysis temperature and Cu salt concentration. The results show that increasing the pyrolysis temperature facilitates the conversion of pyridine N to graphite N, which is beneficial for conduction loss. Moreover, increasing the Cu concentration promotes the transformation of pyridine N to graphite N as well as, and then promotes the reverse conversion of graphite N to pyridine N, which is conducive to defect-induced polarization. The unique layered Cu/CuO/C composite obtained at 700 °C with a moderate Cu content exhibited the optimal performance with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.5 GHz (11.6 ∼ 17.1 GHz) at an ultra-thin thickness of 1.56 mm. This is owed to its favorable impedance matching, significant conduction loss, and polarization loss (defect-induced polarization and interfacial polarization). This study provides a novel strategy for regulating conduction and polarization losses.

Abstract
Advanced electromagnetic devices, as the pillars of the intelligent age, are setting off a grand transformation, redefining the structure of society to present pluralism and diversity. However, the bombardment of electromagnetic radiation on society is also increasingly serious along with the growing popularity of "Big Data". Herein, drawing wisdom and inspiration from nature, an eco-mimetic nanoarchitecture is constructed for the first time, highly integrating the advantages of multiple components and structures to exhibit excellent electromagnetic response. Its electromagnetic properties and internal energy conversion can be flexibly regulated by tailoring microstructure with oxidative molecular layer deposition (oMLD), providing a new cognition to frequency-selective microwave absorption. The optimal reflection loss reaches ≈ - 58 dB, and the absorption frequency can be shifted from high frequency to low frequency by increasing the number of oMLD cycles. Meanwhile, a novel electromagnetic absorption surface is designed to enable ultra-wideband absorption, covering almost the entire K and Ka bands. More importantly, an ingenious self-powered device is constructed using the eco-mimetic nanoarchitecture, which can convert electromagnetic radiation into electric energy for recycling. This work offers a new insight into electromagnetic protection and waste energy recycling, presenting a broad application prospect in radar stealth, information communication, aerospace engineering, etc.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional microwave absorbing materials for practical applications in complex environments is a challenging research hotspot. Herein, the core-shell structure FeCo@C nanocages were successfully anchored on the surface of biomass-derived carbon (BDC) from pleurotus eryngii (PE) via freeze-drying and electrostatic self-assembly process, achieving lightweight, anti-corrosive, and excellent absorption properties. The superior versatility benefits from the large specific surface area, high conductivity, three-dimensional cross-linked networks, and appropriate impedance matching characteristics. The as-prepared aerogel realizes a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -69.5 dB with a corresponding effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 8.6 GHz at 2.9 mm. Simultaneously, the computer simulation technique (CST) further proves that the multifunctional material can dissipate microwave energy in actual applications. More importantly, the special heterostructure of aerogel endows excellent resistance to acid, alkali, salt medium, allowing potential applications of the microwave absorbing materials under complex environmental conditions.

Abstract
In this study, we successfully prepared core-shell heterostructured nanocomposites (Fe NWs@SiO2), with ferromagnetic nanowires (Fe NWs) as the core and silica (SiO2) as the shell. The composites exhibited enhanced electromagnetic wave absorption and oxidation resistance and were synthesized using a simple liquid-phase hydrolysis reaction. We tested and analyzed the microwave absorption properties of Fe NWs@SiO2 composites with varied filling rates (mass fractions of 10 wt%, 30 wt%, and 50 wt% after mixing with paraffin). The results showed that the sample filled with 50 wt% had the best comprehensive performance. At the matching thickness of 7.25 mm, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) could reach -54.88 dB at 13.52 GHz and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL < -10 dB) could reach 2.88 GHz in the range of 8.96-17.12 GHz. Enhanced microwave absorption performance of the core-shell structured Fe NWs@SiO2 composites could be attributed to the magnetic loss of the composite, the core-shell heterogeneous interface polarization effect, and the small-scale effect induced by the one-dimensional structure. Theoretically, this research provided Fe NWs@SiO2 composites with highly absorbent and antioxidant core-shell structures for future practical applications.

Abstract
Multiband compatible stealth engineering with controllable visible light-infrared (VIS-IR) features and radar wave absorption is urgently needed to improve the survivability of advanced military equipment. Cr2O3 has good visible light stealth performance under green background, but it is lack of IR and radar multi-band stealth properties. Herein, a core-shelled Cr2O3@stannic antimony oxide (ATO) structure was developed to enhance the IR-radar compatible stealth properties of Cr2O3 by in-situ precipitation method, concurrently maintaining its visible light stealth property. The morphology, conductivity, and infrared stealth properties of the Cr2O3@ATO hybrids were influenced by the calcination temperature, and the IR and radar stealth performance were tunable by ATO content. The lowest emissivity of Cr2O3@ATO pigments is 0.852, reduced by 10% than pure Cr2O3. The Cr2O3@ATO filled silicone resin coatings possessed good thermal stability and IR stealth stability. Benefiting from the enhanced interfacial polarization and conductive loss, the Cr2O3@ATO exhibited an effective absorption bandwidth of 2 GHz in the X band, with respect to pure Cr2O3 without radar absorption property. The Cr2O3@ATO structure opens an avenue for advanced VIS-IR-Radar compatible stealth materials.

Abstract
Reasonable heterointerface modification can effectively regulate and enhance the microwave absorption of electromagnetic materials. The surface of magnetic permalloy (PM) microparticles is modified herein by coating double-layer metal organic frameworks (MOF), which are composed of a 2-methylimidazole cobalt salt (ZIF-67) layer and a 2-methylimidazole zinc salt (ZIF-8) layer. A stable heterointerface structure with cobalt/carbon (Co/C) and zinc/carbon (Zn/C) layers is formed on the surface of PM microparticles after pyrolysis. These particles include two types of composite particles of PM solely encapsulated by ZIF-67 or ZIF-8, PM@ZIF67 and PM@ZIF8, respectively, and two types of composite PM particles with a double-layered MOF outer shell structure obtained by exchanging the coating sequence (PM@ZIF8@ZIF67 and PM@ZIF67@ZIF8). Furthermore, the thermal decomposition temperature has a significant impact on the surface morphology and magnetic properties of the composite particles. After pyrolyzing at 500 °C, the PM@ZIF67@ZIF8 samples exhibit the highest microwave absorption performance among these samples. Specifically, the minimum reflection loss and effective absorption bandwidth of PM@ZIF67@ZIF8 after pyrolyzing at 500 °C can reach -47.3 dB at a matching thickness of 3.8 mm and 5.3 GHz at a matching thickness of 2.5 mm, respectively. A heterointerface with an electrical field orientation is created in the PM@ZIF67@ZIF8 particles, which effectively enhances the interface polarization and dipole polarization. Furthermore, the formation of a three-dimensional carbon network after pyrolysis is also useful for optimizing impedance matching and enhancing magneto-electric synergism.

Abstract
Harvesting largely ignored and wasted electromagnetic (EM) energy released by electronic devices and converting it into direct current (DC) electricity is an attractive strategy not only to reduce EM pollution but also address the ever-increasing energy crisis. Here we report the synthesis of nanoparticle-templated graphene with monodisperse and staggered circular nanopores enabling an EM-heat-DC conversion pathway. We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that this staggered nanoporous structure alters graphene's electronic and phononic properties by synergistically manipulating its intralayer nanostructures and interlayer interactions. The staggered circular nanoporous graphene exhibits an anomalous combination of properties, which lead to an efficient absorption and conversion of EM waves into heat and in turn an output of DC electricity through the thermoelectric effect. Overall, our results advance the fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationships of ordered nanoporous graphene, providing an effective strategy to reduce EM pollution and generate electric energy.

Abstract
To achieve strong electromagnetic wave absorption performance at thin thicknesses, a chemical vapor deposition approach was employed to prepare Co nanoclusters modified carbon nanotubes. The main mechanism lies in the formation of dispersed oxides on the basis of low melting point and decomposition temperature of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, while solid oxides are not easy to agglomerate during reduction due to their poor diffusion properties. Additionally, the abundant nitrogen-doped on carbon nanotubes provides abundant metal deposition sites, which further inhibits metal agglomeration. As expected, the reflection loss was robust at -59.96 dB with a low filler loading of 10 wt%, and the bandwidth was broad at 5.4GHz. Several factors contribute to excellent electromagnetic wave absorption, such as multiple reflections and scattering in the internal space, dipole polarization loss induced by plenty of functional groups, and interfacial polarization loss at the interfaces between Co nanoclusters and carbon nanotubes.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 634:268-278. [PMID: 36535164 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.12.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Tunable designs of polymorphic structured transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) demonstrate promising applications in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption (EMW). However, it remains a technical challenge for achieving a balanced relationship between well-matched impedance characteristics and dielectric losses. Therefore, the co-modification strategies of polydopamine coating and wet impregnation are chosen to construct CoS2 magnetic double-shell microspheres with phase component modulation to achieve the optimized performance. Dopamine hydrochloride forms a coating on the surface of CoS2 microspheres by self-polymerization and forms a double-shell structure during the pyrolysis process. Then the different metal is doped to generate heterogeneous components in the process of heat treatment. The results show that the cobalt doped double-shell microspheres have an ultra-high electromagnetic wave absorption absorption capacity with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.04 GHz (1.98 mm) and a minimum reflection loss value of -48.90 dB. The double-shell layer structure and metal ion hybridization can improve the interfacial polarization and magnetic loss behavior, which provides an explicit inspiration for the development of transition metal dichalcogenide and even transition metal compounds with tunable absorption properties.

[PMID: 36984702 PMCID: PMC10054763 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13030315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 03/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
As technology develops at a rapid pace, electromagnetic and radiation pollution have become significant issues. These forms of pollution can cause many important environmental issues. If they are not properly managed and addressed, they will be everywhere in the global biosphere, and they will have devastating impacts on human health. In addition to minimizing sources of electromagnetic radiation, the development of lightweight composite shielding materials to address interference from radiation has become an important area of research. A suitable shielding material can effectively reduce the harm caused by electromagnetic interference/radiation. However, membrane shielding materials with general functions cannot effectively exert their shielding performance in all fields, and membrane shielding materials used in different fields must have specific functions under their use conditions. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive review of these issues. Firstly, the causes of electromagnetic/radiation pollution were briefly introduced and comprehensively identified and analyzed. Secondly, the strategic solutions offered by membrane shielding materials to address electromagnetic/radiation problems were discussed. Then, the design concept, technical innovation, and related mechanisms of the existing membrane shielding materials were expounded, the treatment methods adopted by scholars to study the environment and performance change laws were introduced, and the main difficulties encountered in this area of research were summarized. Finally, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the protection provided by membrane shielding materials against electromagnetic/radiation pollution, the action mechanism of membrane shielding materials was expounded in detail, and the research progress, structural design and performance characterization techniques for these materials were summarized. In addition, the future challenges were prospected. This review will help universities, research institutes, as well as scientific and technological enterprises engaged in related fields to fully understand the design concept and research progress of electromagnetic/radiation-contaminated membrane shielding materials. In addition, it is hoped that this review will facilitate efforts to accelerate the research and development of membrane shielding materials and offer potential applications in areas such as electronics, nuclear medicine, agriculture, and other areas of industry.
