Abstract
High-entropy alloy (HEA) nanostructures arranged into well-defined configurations hold great potential for accelerating the development of electronics, photonics, catalysis, and device integration. However, the random nucleation induced by the disparity in physicochemical properties of multiple elements makes it challenging to achieve single-particle synthesis at the patterned preset sites in the high-entropy scenario. Herein, the liquid metal nanoreactor strategy is proposed to realize the construction of HEA arrays. The coalescence of the liquid metal driven by the tendency to decrease surface energy provides a restricted environment for the nucleation and growth to form single HEA particles at the preset locations, which can be regarded as a self-confinement reaction. Liquid metal endowing a low diffusion energy barrier on the substrate and a high diffusivity of the alloy system can dynamically promote the aggregation process. As a result, the HEA array is prepared with elements up to eleven and possesses uniform periodicity, which exhibits excellent holography response in a broad spectrum. This work injects new vitality into the construction of HEA nanopatterns and provides an excellent platform for propelling their fundamental research and applications.

Abstract
High-entropy-alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) composed of 3d transition metallic elements have attracted intensive attention in photothermal conversion regions due to their d-d interband transitions (IBTs). However, the effect arising from the unbalanced elemental ratio still needs more focus. In this work, FeCoNiCrMn HEA-NPs with different elemental ratios among Cr and Mn have been employed to clarify the impact of different composed elements on the optical absorption and photothermal conversion performance. It can be recognized that the unbalanced elemental ratio of HEA-NPs can reduce the photothermal performance. Density functional theory calculation demonstrated that d-d IBTs can be changed by the different composed element ratios, resulting in a number of insufficient filling regions around the Fermi level (±4 eV). As a result, the HEA-NPs (FeCoNiCr0.75Mn0.25) with a balanced elemental ratio exhibit the highest surface temperature of 97.6 °C under 1 sun irradiation, and the evaporation rate and energy conversion efficiency could reach 2.13 kg·m-2·h-1 and 93%, respectively, demonstrating effective solar steam generation behavior.

Abstract
Single-atom materials have demonstrated attractive physicochemical characteristics. However, understanding the relationships between the coordination environment of single atoms and their properties at the atomic level remains a considerable challenge. Herein, a facile water-assisted carbonization approach is developed to fabricate well-defined asymmetrically coordinated Co-N4-O sites on biomass-derived carbon nanofiber (Co-N4-O/NCF) for electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. In such nanofiber, one atomically dispersed Co site is coordinated with four N atoms in the graphene basal plane and one oxygen atom in the axial direction. In-depth experimental and theoretical studies reveal that the axial Co-O coordination breaks the charge distribution symmetry in the planar porphyrin-like Co-N4 structure, leading to significantly enhanced dielectric polarization loss relevant to the planar Co-N4 sites. Importantly, the film based on Co-N4-O/NCF exhibits light weight, flexibility, excellent mechanical properties, great thermal insulating feature, and excellent EMW absorption with a reflection loss of - 45.82 dB along with an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.8 GHz. The findings of this work offer insight into the relationships between the single-atom coordination environment and the dielectric performance, and the proposed strategy can be extended toward the engineering of asymmetrically coordinated single atoms for various applications.

A Self-foaming Strategy to Construct Small Mo 2C Nanoparticles Decorated 3D Carbon Foams as Superior Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Materials with Strong Corrosion Resistance. SMALL METHODS 2024:e2400734. [PMID: 38962847 DOI: 10.1002/smtd.202400734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
3D macroporous carbon-based foams are always considered as promising candidates for high-performance electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing materials due to the collaborative EM contribution and salutary structure effect. However, the uneven distribution of heterogeneous EM components and the cumbersome preparation process have become key issues to hinder their performance improvement and practical popularity. Herein, the fabrication of 3D carbon foam decorated with small and highly dispersed Mo2C nanoparticles is realized by an innovative self-foaming strategy. The foaming mechanism can be attributed to the decomposition of nitrate during the softening process of organic polymers. The good dispersion of Mo2C nanoparticles boosts interfacial polarization significantly. After regulating the content of Mo2C nanoparticles, the optimal Mo2C/CF-x exhibits good EM absorption performance, whose minimum reflection loss intensity value can reach up to -72.2 dB, and effective absorption bandwidth covers 6.7 GHz with a thickness of 2.30 mm. Very importantly, the resultant Mo2C/CF-x exhibits hydrophobicity and strong acidic anticorrosion, and a long-time treatment in HCl solution (6.0 mol L-1) produces negligible impacts on their EM functions. It is believed that this extraordinary feature may render Mo2C/C foams as qualified and durable EM wave absorbing materials (EWAMs) under rigorous conditions.

Abstract
Creating durable and efficient multifunctional electrocatalysts capable of high current densities at low applied potentials is crucial for widespread industrial use in hydrogen production. Herein, a Co-Ni-Fe-Cu-Mo (oxy)hydroxide electrocatalyst with abundant grain boundaries on nickel foam using a scalable coating method followed by chemical precipitation is synthesized. This technique efficiently organizes hierarchical Co-Ni-Fe-Cu-Mo (oxy)hydroxide nanoparticles within ultrafine crystalline regions (<4 nm), enriched with numerous grain boundaries, enhancing catalytic site density and facilitating charge and mass transfer. The resulting catalyst, structured into nanosheets enriched with grain boundaries, exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity. It achieves a reduced overpotential of 199 mV at 10 mA cm2 current density with a Tafel slope of 48.8 mV dec1 in a 1 m KOH solution, maintaining stability over 72 h. Advanced analytical techniques reveal that incorporating high-valency copper and molybdenum elements significantly enhances lattice oxygen activation, attributed to weakened metal-oxygen bonds facilitating the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM). Synchrotron radiation studies confirm a synergistic interaction among constituent elements. Furthermore, the developed high-entropy electrode demonstrates exceptional long-term stability under high current density in alkaline environments, showcasing the effectiveness of high-entropy strategies in advancing electrocatalytic materials for energy-related applications.

Abstract
3D carbon-based porous sponges are recognized for significant potential in oil absorption and electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, their widespread application is hindered by a common compromise between high performance and affordability of mass production. Herein, a novel approach is introduced that involves laser-assisted micro-zone heating melt-blown spinning (LMHMS) to address this challenge by creating pitch-based submicron carbon fibers (PSCFs) sponge with 3D interconnected structures. These structures bestow the resulting sponge exceptional characteristics including low density (≈20 mg cm-3), high porosity (≈99%), remarkable compressibility (80% maximum strain), and superior conductivity (≈628 S m-1). The resultant PSCF sponges realize an oil/organic solvent sorption capacity over 56 g/g and possess remarkable regenerated ability. In addition to their effectiveness in cleaning up oil/organic solvent spills, they also demonstrated strong electromagnetic shielding capabilities, with a total shielding effectiveness (SE) exceeding 60 dB across the X-band GHz range. In virtue of extreme lightweight of ≈20 mg cm-3, the specific SE of the PSCF sponge reaches as high as ≈1466 dB cm3 g-1, surpassing the performance of numerous carbon-based porous structures. Thus, the unique blend of properties renders these sponges promising for transforming strategies in addressing oil/organic solvent contaminations and providing effective protection against EMI.

Abstract
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) involving more than four elements, as emerging alloys, have brought about a paradigm shift in material design. The unprecedented compositional diversities and structural complexities of HEAs endow multidimensional exploration space and great potential for practical benefits, as well as a formidable challenge for synthesis. To further optimize performance and promote advanced applications, it is essential to synthesize HEAs with desired characteristics to satisfy the requirements in the application scenarios. The properties of HEAs are highly related to their chemical compositions, microstructure, and morphology. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the controllable synthesis of HEAs is provided, ranging from composition design to morphology control, structure construction, and surface/interface engineering. The fundamental parameters and advanced characterization related to HEAs are introduced. We also propose several critical directions for future development. This review can provide insight and an in-depth understanding of HEAs, accelerating the synthesis of the desired HEAs.

Abstract
The theoretically infinite compositional space of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and their novel properties and applications have attracted significant attention from a broader research community. The successful synthesis of high-quality single-phase HEA nanoparticles represents a crucial step in fully unlocking the potential of this new class of materials to drive innovations. This review analyzes the various methods reported in the literature to identify their commonalities and dissimilarities, which allows categorizing these methods into five general strategies. Physical minimization of HEA metals into HEA nanoparticles through cryo-milling represents the typical top-down strategy. The counter bottom-up strategy requires the simultaneous generation and precipitation of metal atoms of different elements on growing nanoparticles. Depending on the metal atom generation process, there are four synthesis strategies: vaporization of metals, burst reduction of metal precursors, thermal shock-induced reduction of metal precursors, and solvothermal reduction of metal precursors. Comparisons among the methods within each strategy, along with discussions, provide insights and guidance for achieving the robust synthesis of HEA nanoparticles.

Abstract
The direct application of liquid marbles in electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption is challenging due to their poor stability, susceptibility to gravitational collapse, and shaping difficulties. To address this issue, a novel strategy is proposed to incorporate liquid marble microstructures (NaCl/nano-SiO2) encapsulated in organic phases (Octadecane) into the rubber-matrix (SEBS) using the ultrasound-assisted emulsion blending method. The resulting NaCl/SiO2/Octadecane microstructures anchored to SEBS offer a substantial solid-liquid interface consisting of NaCl solution and SiO2. When subjected to an alternating electromagnetic (EM) field, the water molecules and polysorbate within SiO2 exhibit heightened responsiveness to the EM field, and the movement of Na+ and Cl- within these microstructures leads to their accumulation at the solid-liquid interface, creating an asymmetric ion distribution. This phenomenon facilitates enhanced interfacial polarization, thereby contributing to the material's EMW absorption properties. Notably, the latex with 16 wt% SEBS (E-3), exhibiting a surface morphology similar to human cell tissues, achieves complete absorption of X-band (fE = 4.20 GHz, RLmin = -33.87 dB). Moreover, the latex demonstrates light density (0.78 g cm-3) and environmental stability. This study not only highlights the predominant loss mechanism in rubber-based wave-absorbing materials but also provides valuable insights into the design of multifunctional wave-absorbing materials.

Abstract
Structure engineering of magnetic-dielectric multi-components is emerging as an effective approach for presuming high-performance electromagnetic (EM) absorption, but still faces bottlenecks due to the ambiguous regulation mechanism of surface morphology. Here, a novel wrinkled surface structure is tailored on the ZnFe2O4 microsphere via a spray-pyrolysis induced Kirkendall diffusion effect, the conductivity of the sample is affected, and a better impedance matching is adjusted by modulating the concentration of metal nitrate precursors. Driven by a vapor phase polymerization, conductive polypyrrole (PPy) shell are in situ decorated on the ZnFe2O4 microsphere surfaces, ingeniously constructing a core-shell ZnFe2O4@PPy composites. Moreover, a systematic investigation reveals that this unique wrinkled surface structure is highly dependent on the metal salt concentration. Optimized wrinkle ZnFe2O4@PPy composite exhibits a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reached -41.0 dB and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) can cover as wide as 4.1 GHz. The enhanced interfacial polarization originated from high-density ZnFe2O4-PPy heterostructure, and the conduction loss of PPy contributes to the boosted dielectric loss capability. This study gives a significant guidance for preparing high-performance EM composites by tailoring the surface wrinkle structure.

RSC Adv 2024; 14:10687-10696. [PMID: 38567341 PMCID: PMC10985793 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra00955j] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
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.

Abstract
Multi-component composite materials with a magnetic-dielectric synergistic effect exhibit satisfactory electromagnetic wave absorption performance. However, the effective construction of the structure for these multi-component materials to fully exploit the advantages of each component remains a challenge. Inspired by natural biomass, this study utilizes wood as the raw material and successfully prepares high-performance MoS2@Gd2O3/Mxene loaded porous carbon aerogel (MGMCA) composite material through a one-pot hydrothermal method and carbonization treatment process. With a delicate structural design, the MGMCA is endowed with abundant heterogeneous interface structures, favorable impedance matching characteristics, and a magnetic-dielectric synergistic system, thus demonstrating multiple electromagnetic wave loss mechanisms. Benefiting from these advantages, the obtained MGMCA exhibits outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption performance, with a minimum reflection loss of -57.5 dB at an ultra-thin thickness of only 1.9 mm. This research proposes a reliable strategy for the design of multi-component composite materials, providing valuable insight for the design of biomass-based materials as electromagnetic wave absorbers.

Abstract
Soft magnetic materials with flake geometry can provide shape anisotropy for breaking the Snoek limit, which is promising for achieving high-frequency ferromagnetic resonances and microwave absorption properties. Here, two-dimensional (2D) Fe3C microflakes with crystal orientation are obtained by solid-state phase transformation assisted by electrochemical dealloying. The shape anisotropy can be further regulated by manipulating the thickness of 2D Fe3C microflakes under different isothermally quenching temperatures. Thus, the resonant frequency is adjusted effectively from 9.47 and 11.56 GHz under isothermal quenching from 700 °C to 550 °C. The imaginary part of the complex permeability can reach 0.9 at 11.56 GHz, and the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) is -52.09 dB (15.85 GHz, 2.90 mm) with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB≤-10 dB) of 2.55 GHz. This study provides insight into the preparation of high-frequency magnetic loss materials for obtaining high-performance microwave absorbers and achieves the preparation of functional materials from traditional structural materials.

Abstract
Morphology regulation and composition design have proved to be effective strategies for the fabrication of desirable microwave absorbers. However, it is still challenging to precisely control the microstructure and components of MAX phases. Herein, an entropy-driven approach, a transition from irregular grains (low entropy) to sheet structure (high entropy), is proposed to modulate the morphology of MAX phases. The theoretical calculation indicates that the morphology evolution can be ascribed to the enlarged energy difference between (11_00) and (0001) facets. The enriched structural defects and optimized morphologies yield significant dipolar polarization, interfacial polarization, multiple reflections, and scattering, which all enhance the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of (V0.25 Ti0.25 Cr0.25 Mo0.25 )2 GaC. Specifically, its minimum reflection loss can reach up to -47.12 dB at 12.13 GHz, and the optimal effective absorption bandwidth is 4.56 GHz (2.03 mm). Meanwhile, (V0.25 Ti0.25 Cr0.25 Mo0.25 )2 GaC shows also pronounced thermal insulation properties affording it good reliability in the harsh working environment. This work offers a novel approach to designing and regulating the morphology of the high entropy MAX phase, and also presents an opportunity to elucidate the relationship between entropy and electromagnetic wave absorption performance.

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
Microwave absorption materials (MAMs) are originally developed for military purposes, but have since evolved into versatile materials with promising applications in modern technologies, including household use. Despite significant progress in bench-side research over the past decade, MAMs remain limited in their scope and have yet to be widely adopted. This review explores the history of MAMs from first-generation coatings to second-generation functional absorbers, identifies bottlenecks hindering their maturation. It also presents potential solutions such as exploring broader spatial scales, advanced characterization, introducing liquid media, utilizing novel toolbox (machine learning, ML), and proximity of lab to end-user. Additionally, it meticulously presents compelling applications of MAMs in medicine, mechanics, energy, optics, and sensing, which go beyond absorption efficiency, along with their current development status and prospects. This interdisciplinary research direction differs from previous research which primarily focused on meeting traditional requirements (i.e., thin, lightweight, wide, and strong), and can be defined as the next generation of smart absorbers. Ultimately, the effective utilization of ubiquitous electromagnetic (EM) waves, aided by third-generation MAMs, should be better aligned with future expectations.

Abstract
The evolution of contemporary electronics urgently requires the use of versatile electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials in complex environments. Interlayer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/Fe3O4@multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) foams were prepared by a simple physical foaming method with excellent flexibility and electromagnetic wave absorption. The bottom nickel aramid paper (NiP) layer creates a dense conductive network by chemical plating technology, which ensures excellent EMI effectiveness. The upper carbon black (CB)/Fe3O4 layer further improves the absorption performance via conductive loss and magnetic loss. With the effective layout of the impedance matching layer, absorbing layer, and conductive shielding layer, the CB/Fe3O4-PDMS/Fe3O4@MWCNTs-NiP composite material achieves an EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 61.7 dB and an absorption coefficient of 0.58 at X-band. In addition, the composite foam provides photothermal conversion and hydrophobicity due to the effective stacking of PDMS and CB/Fe3O4. Thus, the multifunctional composite foam presents a broad range of possible applications, benefiting EMI shielding as well as other specific areas.

Abstract
Amorphous high-entropy alloys (HEAs) as electromagnetic-wave absorbing materials have been rarely reported. In this work, amorphous FeCoNiTixSi HEAs were synthesized by introducing a high content of large-atom Ti using the high-energy ball-milling technique. This amorphous structure could improve the saturated magnetization and coercivity of HEAs, but slightly degraded the mechanical and oxidation resistance properties. In terms of electromagnetic properties, FeCoNiTi0.01Si and FeCoNiTiSi exhibit excellent electromagnetic-wave absorption performances, with significant absorptions of -68.4 dB at 6.14 GHz and -63.4 dB at 9.12 GHz, corresponding to bandwidths of 5.15 GHz (1.69 mm) and 3.64 GHz (1.43 mm), respectively. Overall, the prepared FeCoNiTixSi HEAs exhibited superior comprehensive performances compared to other HEA absorption materials. This work provided a novel strategy for the development of new electromagnetic-wave absorption materials with low weight, high absorption efficiency, and resistance to harsh environments.

Abstract
Heterostructure engineering has emerged as a promising approach for creating high-performance microwave absorption materials in various applications such as advanced communications, portable devices, and military fields. However, achieving strong electromagnetic wave attenuation, good impedance matching, and low density in a single heterostructure remains a significant challenge. Herein, a unique structural design strategy that employs a hollow structure coupled with gradient hierarchical heterostructures to achieve high-performance microwave absorption is proposed. MoS2 nanosheets are uniformly grown onto the double-layered Ti3C2Tx MXene@rGO hollow microspheres through self-assembly and sacrificial template techniques. Notably, the gradient hierarchical heterostructures, comprising a MoS2 impedance matching layer, a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) lossy layer, and a Ti3C2Tx MXene reflective layer, have demonstrated significant improvements in impedance matching and attenuation capabilities. Additionally, the incorporation of a hollow structure can further improve microwave absorption while reducing the overall composite density. The distinctive gradient hollow heterostructures enable Ti3C2Tx@rGO@MoS2 hollow microspheres with exceptional microwave absorption properties. The reflection loss value reaches as strong as -54.2 dB at a thin thickness of 1.8 mm, and the effective absorption bandwidth covers the whole Ku-band, up to 6.04 GHz. This work provides an exquisite perspective on heterostructure engineering design for developing next-generation microwave absorbers.

Abstract
Microstructures play a critical role to influence the polarization behavior of dielectric materials, which determines the electromagnetic response ability in gigahertz. However, the relationship between them, especially in the solid-solution structures is still absent. Herein, a series of (Ti1- y Nby )2 AlC MAX phase solid solutions with nano-laminated structures have been employed to illuminate the aforementioned problem. The relationship has been investigated by the lattice distortion constructed via tuning the composition from Ti to Nb in the M-site atomic layer. Experimental characterizations indicated that the dielectric response behaviors between declined conduction loss and boosted polarization loss can be well balanced by niobium atom manipulative solid-solution engineering, which is conducive to impedance matching and electromagnetic absorption performance. Theoretical calculation further proved that the origin of electric dipoles is ascribed to the charge density differences resulting from the altered microscopic atomic distribution. As a result, the Ti1.2 Nb0.8 AlC exhibits the mostly optimized microwave absorption property, in which a minimum reflection loss of -42 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.3 GHz under an ultra-thin thickness of 1.4 mm can be obtained. This work provides insight into the structural engineering in modifying electromagnetic response performance at gigahertz and which can be expanded to other solid-solution materials.

Abstract
Carbon-based carbides have attracted tremendous attention for electromagnetic energy attenuation due to their adjustable dielectric properties, oxidation resistance, and good chemical stability. Herein, we reasonably regulate the growth of dopamine hydrochloride on the surface of the Mo-glycerate (Mo-GL) microsphere and then transform the resultant Mo-polydopamine (Mo-PD) microsphere into a dual-shell Mo2C/C (DS-Mo2C/C) microsphere in a high-temperature pyrolysis process under an inert atmosphere. It is found that the pyrolysis temperature plays an important role in the graphitization degree of the carbon matrix and internal architecture. The fabrication of a dual-shell structure can be propitious to the optimization of impedance matching, and the introduction of Mo2C nanoparticles also prompts the accumulation of polarization loss. When the pyrolysis temperature reaches 800 °C, the optimized composite of DS-Mo2C/C-800 exhibits good EM absorption performance in the frequency range of 2.0-18.0 GHz. DS-Mo2C/C-800's qualified bandwidth can reach 4.4 GHz at a matching thickness of 1.5 mm, and the integrated qualified bandwidth (QBW) even exceeds 14.5 GHz with a thickness range of 1.5-5.0 mm. The positive effects of the dual-shell structure and Mo2C nanoparticles on EM energy attenuation may render the DS-Mo2C/C microsphere as a promising candidate for lightweight and broad bandwidth EM absorption materials in the future.

Abstract
It has been accepted that the uniform distribution of magnetic metal particles is beneficial to microwave absorption, while why the homogeneous magnetic particles on the dielectric substrate improve the electromagnetic loss is still unclear. Herein, metal Ni nanoparticles, two-dimensional (2D) basalt/scattered Ni, and basalt/uniform Ni microflakes are obtained through a pretreatment and electroless deposition process. In comparison to Ni nanoparticles and basalt/scattered Ni, the basalt/Ni microflakes with largely uniform and compact Ni nanolayers on basalt, breaking the percolation limit, are favorable for enhanced electromagnetic attenuation. The Ni nanolayers are convenient for construction of a microscale conductive net and migration of an electron. The 2D heterostructures constructed by basalt substrates and decorated Ni layers boost multiple scattering absorption and promote interfacial polarization. Meanwhile, exposed Ni does not inhibit magnetic resonance, enabling strong magnetic coupling. Consequently, the basalt/Ni microflakes with uniform Ni nanolayers demonstrate better microwave absorption with a minimum reflection loss of -30 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 3 GHz at 1 mm. This work shows that the uniform and compact magnetic metal nanolayers are effective in improving the dielectric loss and magnetic loss simultaneously to achieve the high-performance microwave absorption.

Abstract
The sharp reduction in size and increase in power density of next-generation integrated circuits lead to electromagnetic interference and heat failure being a key roadblock for their widespread applications in polymer-based electronic packaging materials. This work demonstrates a multifunctional epoxy-based composite (MDCF@LDH/EP) with high electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption, thermal conductivity, and flame retardancy performance. In which, the synergistic effect of porous structure and heterointerface promotes the multiple reflection and absorption, and dielectric loss of EMW. A low reflection loss of -57.77 dB, and an effective absorption bandwidth of 7.20 GHz are achieved under the fillings of only 10 wt%. Meanwhile, a 241.4% enhanced thermal conductivity of EP is due to the high continuous 3D melamine-derived carbon foams (MDCF), which provides a broad path for the transport of phonons. In addition, MDCF@LDH/EP composite exhibits high thermal stability and flame retardancy, thanks to the physical barrier effect of MDCF@LDH combined with the high temperature cooling properties of NiAl-LDH-CO3 2- . Compared with pure epoxy resin, the peak heat release rate and the total heat release rate are reduced by 19.4% and 30.7%, respectively. Such an excellent comprehensive performance enables MDCF@LDH/EP to a promising electronic packaging material.

Abstract
Constructing the strong interaction between the matrix and the active centers dominates the design of high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials. However, the interaction-relevant absorption mechanism is still unclear, and the design of ultrahigh reflection loss (RL < -80 dB) absorbers remains a great challenge. Herein, CoFe-based Prussian blue (PB) nanocubes are coprecipitated on the surface of ultrathin CoAl-LDH nanoplates with the assistance of unsaturated coordination sites. During the subsequent pyrolysis process, CoAl-LDH serves as a "ligand" providing a Co source and reacts with Fe or C in the CoFe-PB "host" to form stable CoFe alloys or CoCx species. As a result, strong reactions emerged between the CoAl-LDH matrix and the active CoFe-CoCx@NC centers. Based on the experimental results, the CoAl/CoFe-CoCx@NC hierarchical heterostructure delivers good dielectric losses (dipolar polarization, interface polarization, and conductive loss), magnetic losses (eddy current loss, natural resonance, and exchange resonance), and impedance matching, resulting in a remarkable EMW absorption performance with a reflection loss (RL) value of -82.1 dB at a matching thickness of 3.8 mm. Theoretical results (commercial CST) identify that the strong interaction between the 2D CoAl-LDH "ligand" and 2D CoFe-CoCx "host" promotes a robust heterointerface among the nanoparticles, nanosheets, and nanoplates, which extremely contribute to the dielectric loss. Meanwhile, the coupling effect of nanosheets and nanoplates greatly contributes to the matching performance. This work provides an aggressive strategy for the effect of ligands and hosts on high-performance EMW absorption.

Abstract
Rational designing of one-dimensional (1D) magnetic alloy to facilitate electromagnetic (EM) wave attenuation capability in low-frequency (2-6 GHz) microwave absorption field is highly desired but remains a significant challenge. In this study, a composite EM wave absorber made of a FeCoNi medium-entropy alloy embedded in a 1D carbon matrix framework is rationally designed through an improved electrospinning method. The 1D-shaped FeCoNi alloy embedded composite demonstrates the high-density and continuous magnetic network using off-axis electronic holography technique, indicating the excellent magnetic loss ability under an external EM field. Then, the in-depth analysis shows that many factors, including 1D anisotropy and intrinsic physical features of the magnetic medium-entropy alloy, primarily contribute to the enhanced EM wave absorption performance. Therefore, the fabricated EM wave absorber shows an increasing effective absorption band of 1.3 GHz in the low-frequency electromagnetic field at an ultrathin thickness of 2 mm. Thus, this study opens up a new method for the design and preparation of high-performance 1D magnetic EM absorbers.

Abstract
The application of electromagnetic waves has reached every aspect of human life, but the search for superior electromagnetic wave absorbent materials has been a constant quest of researchers. The application of heterogeneous structures has been favored by researchers of electromagnetic wave absorbent materials and the quest for simple preparation methods and homogeneous distribution of heterogeneous structures is continuing. In this study, we synthesized carbon sphere/Fe3O4 nanocrystal (CS/Fe3O4) composites by uniformly decorating Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the surface of carbon spheres through a simple strategy of expanding the heterogeneous structured interface. The heterogeneous interface formed by graphite and amorphous carbon in the carbon spheres is a boundary-type defect and combined with the magnetic loss capability of the Fe3O4 nanocrystals, this composite material has excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties. The composite material synthesized with 0.05 M solution of iron nitrate has the best electromagnetic wave absorption performance of all samples due to the synergistic effect of interfacial polarization, eddy current loss, defect engineering, and magnetic energy attenuation capability. Reflection losses of -50.932 dB and -49.143 dB were achieved at 4.65 GHz and 10.6 GHz respectively, corresponding to thicknesses of 3.74 mm and 1.74 mm. In addition, the widest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) at 1.27 mm was 4.5 GHz (13.50-18 GHz). This study enhances the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of carbon spheres by surface-decorating Fe3O4 nanoparticles, solves the problem of homogeneity of decorative magnetic oxides on the surface of carbon-based materials, and provides new ideas for the design of controllable, lightweight, ultra-thin composites of carbon-based electromagnetic wave absorbent materials that possess strong electromagnetic wave absorption capability.

Abstract
Developing megahertz (MHz) electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials with broadband absorption, multi-temperature adaptability, and facile preparation method remains a challenge. Herein, nanocrystalline FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 high-entropy alloy powders (HEAs) with both large aspect ratios and thin intergranular amorphous layers are constructed by a multistage mechanical alloying strategy, aiming to achieve excellent and temperature-stable permeability and EMW absorption. A single-phase face-centered cubic structure with good ductility and high crystallinity is obtained as wet milling precursors, via precisely controlling dry milling time. Then, HEAs are flattened to improve aspect ratios by synergistically regulating wet milling time. FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 HEAs with dry milling 20 h and wet milling 5 h (D20) exhibit higher and more stable permeability because of larger aspect ratios and thinner intergranular amorphous layers. The maximum reflection loss (RL) of D20/SiO2 composites is greater than - 7 dB with 5 mm thickness, and EMW absorption bandwidth (RL < - 7 dB) can maintain between 523 and 600 MHz from - 50 to 150 °C. Furthermore, relying on the "cocktail effect" of HEAs, D20 sample also exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and high Curie temperature. This work provides a facile and tunable strategy to design MHz electromagnetic absorbers with temperature stability, broadband, and resistance to harsh environments.
