Abstract
Although ordered porous carbon materials (PCMs) have shown promising potential in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption (EWA), creating multifunctional PCMs with outstanding microwave absorption performance remains a significant challenge. Herein, ordered porous carbon aerogels loaded with pea-pod-like nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were fabricated via orientation freeze-drying followed by high-temperature pyrolysis. The optimized aerogel exhibits extraordinary EWA performance with a broad effective absorption bandwidth of 7.68 GHz and exceptionally strong absorption of -91.58 dB at a low filling ratio of only 3 wt%, which is the largest absorption strength among all known aerogels to date. The exceptional EWA performance is attributed to the synergistic effect of abundant loss mechanisms resulting from a unique pod-like structure in ordered porous carbon aerogel, where nitrogen-doped CNTs encapsulate magnetic alloy nanoparticles. Optimized aerogel exhibits superior compressive elasticity, thermal insulation, and light weight, laying the groundwork for designing practical next-generation EWA materials.

Abstract
High-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers are essential for addressing electromagnetic pollution and military security. However, challenges remain in realizing cost-effectiveness and modulating absorbing properties. In this study, heterogeneous Co/nanoporous carbon (NPC) nano-islands are prepared by efficient method co-precipitation combined with in situ pyrolysis. The multi-regulation strategy of morphology, graphitization, and defect density is achieved by modulating the pyrolysis temperature. Adjusting the pyrolysis temperature can effectively balance the conductivity and defect density, optimizing the impedance matching and enhancing the attenuation. Furthermore, it facilitates obtaining the appropriate shape and size of Co magnetic nanoparticles (Co-MNPs), triggering strong surface plasmon resonance. This resonance, in turn, bolsters the synergy of dielectric and magnetic loss. The incorporation of porous nanostructures not only optimizes impedance matching and enhances multiple reflections but also improves interfacial polarization. Additionally, the presence of enriched defects and heteroatom doping significantly enhances dipole polarization. Notably, the absorber exhibits an impressive minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -73.87 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABmax) of 6.64 GHz. The combination of efficient fabrication methods, a performance regulation strategy through pyrolysis temperature modulation, and radar cross section (RCS) simulation provides a high-performance EMW absorber and can pave the way for large-scale applications.

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
Despite the fact that the 2D structure Ti3C2Tx with abundant defects and functional groups contributes to the high microwave absorption (MA) performance, it is difficulty to improve the strength and bandwidth by pursuing higher conductivity or loading more groups due to the limitation of intrinsic properties. Therefore, it is important to ingeniously design efficient Ti3C2Tx based MA composites assembling the features of abundant surface groups, good dispersibility, multiple composition, and precise structure. Inspired by the fact that Ti3C2Tx contains thermodynamically metastable marginal Ti atoms, TiO2 nanoparticles can be grown in-situ on Ti3C2Tx nanosheets uniformly and increase the spacing of Ti3C2Tx layers, and then MnFe2O4 nanoparticles are introduced into the layers of Ti3C2Tx by electrostatic self-assembly method for optimized impedance matching. This designed hierarchical MnFe2O4/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx composites shows excellent MA performance, and the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reaches -46.91 dB with a thickness of 2.5 mm at frequency of 10.4 GHz. The high MA performance mainly comes from the enhanced interfacial polarization induced by edges location and interface region among TiO2, MnFe2O4, and Ti3C2Tx. In addition, the conduction loss existed in the interior untreated Ti3C2Tx, the dielectric loss generated by multiple composition, the multiple scattering from improved large surface specific area all contribute to the excellent MA performance. Meanwhile, the simple preparation process and good stability storage at room temperature under air atmosphere of the MnFe2O4/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx composites promote its exploration on practical use, and the lab-gown cloth coated with MnFe2O4/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx composites shows better electromagnetic shielding properties, hydrophobicity, and heat transfer ability than pure fabric, showing the potential for practical application.

Abstract
Electromagnetic waves have an irreplaceable role as information carriers in civil and radar stealth fields, but they also lead to electromagnetic pollution and electromagnetic leakage. Therefore, electromagnetic wave absorbing materials that can reduce electromagnetic radiation have come into being. Especially, SnO2 has made a wave among many wave-absorbing materials as an easily tunable dielectric material, but it hardly has both broadband and powerful absorption properties. Here, the nested porous C/SnO2 composites derived from nitrogen-doped chitosan is obtained by freeze-drying and supplemented with carbonization treatment. The chitosan creates a nested cross-linked conductive network that can make part of the contribution to conduction loss. The amino groups contained in the molecule either help promote in situ nitrogen doping and trigger dipole polarization. The multiphase dissimilar interface between the nested carbon layer and the inner clad SnO2 formation is the major inducer of interfacial polarization. It reached intense absorption of -48.8 dB and bandwidth of 5.2 GHz at 3.46 mm. The interfacial polarization is confirmed to be the main force of dielectric loss by simulating the electromagnetic field distribution. In addition, the RCS simulation data assure the prospect of enticing applications of C/SnO2 composites in the field of radar stealth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, severe electromagnetic interference among electronic devices has been caused by the unprecedented growth of communication systems. Therefore, microwave absorbing materials are required to relieve these problems by absorbing the unwanted microwave. In the design of microwave absorbers, magnetic nanomaterials have to be used as fine particles dispersed in an insulating matrix. Besides the intrinsic properties of these materials, the structure and morphology are also crucial to the microwave absorption performance of the composite. In this study, Ni-Co- MWCNT composites were synthesized, and the changes in electric permittivity, magnetic permeability, and reflectance loss of the samples were evaluated at frequencies of 2 to 18 GHz. METHODS Nickel-Cobalt-Multi Wall Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNT) composites were successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation chemical method. The structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of the samples were characterized and investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), and Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). RESULTS The results revealed that the Ni-Co-MWCNT composite has the highest electromagnetic wave absorption rate with a reflectance loss of -70.22 dB at a frequency of 10.12 GHz with a thickness of 1.8 mm. The adequate absorption bandwidth (RL <-10 dB) was 6.9 GHz at the high-frequency region, exhibiting excellent microwave absorbing properties as a good microwave absorber patent. CONCLUSION Based on this study, it can be argued that the Ni-Co-MWCNT composite can be a good candidate for making light absorbers of radar waves at frequencies 2- 18 GHz.

Abstract
Carbon-based aerogels derived from biomass chitosan are encountering a flourishing moment in electromagnetic protection on account of lightweight, controllable fabrication and versatility. Nevertheless, developing a facile construction method of component design with carbon-based aerogels for high-efficiency electromagnetic wave absorption (EWA) materials with a broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) and strong absorption yet hits some snags. Herein, the nitrogen-doped magnetic-dielectric-carbon aerogel was obtained via ice template method followed by carbonization treatment, homogeneous and abundant nickel (Ni) and manganese oxide (MnO) particles in situ grew on the carbon aerogels. Thanks to the optimization of impedance matching of dielectric/magnetic components to carbon aerogels, the nitrogen-doped magnetic-dielectric-carbon aerogel (Ni/MnO-CA) suggests a praiseworthy EWA performance, with an ultra-wide EAB of 7.36 GHz and a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of - 64.09 dB, while achieving a specific reflection loss of - 253.32 dB mm-1. Furthermore, the aerogel reveals excellent radar stealth, infrared stealth, and thermal management capabilities. Hence, the high-performance, easy fabricated and multifunctional nickel/manganese oxide/carbon aerogels have broad application aspects for electromagnetic protection, electronic devices and aerospace.

Abstract
3D carbon foams have demonstrated their superiority in the field of microwave absorption recently, but the preparation processes of traditional graphene foams are complicated, while some novel carbon foams usually suffer from inadequate dielectric property. Herein, a simple "win-win" strategy is demonstrated to synchronously realize the construction of 3D Co/C foam and its surface decoration with carbon microspheres. Therein, the host Co/C foams and guest carbon microspheres interact with each other, resulting in the improvement of the dispersity of carbon microspheres and Co nanoparticles. The bilaterally synergistic effect can effectively enhance the interfacial polarization and conductive loss of these obtained samples. Electromagnetic analysis reveals that the optimized sample with moderate carbon microsphere content (about 33.5 wt%) displays a widened maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 5.2 GHz and a consolidated reflection loss intensity of -67.6 dB. Besides, the microwave absorption enhancement mechanisms are investigated and discussed in detail. It is believed that this work provides valuable ideas for the development of 3D-foam-based microwave absorbing materials for practical applications.

Abstract
Electromagnetic waves have caused great harm to military safety, high-frequency electronic components, and precision instruments, and so forth, which urgently requires the development of lightweight, high-efficiency, broadband electromagnetic waves (EMW) absorbing materials for protection. As the basic fibrous materials, carbon fibers (CFs) and SiC fibers (SiCf) have been widely applied in EMW absorption due to their intrinsic characteristics of low density, high mechanical properties, high conductivity, and dielectric loss mechanism. Nevertheless, it has remained a great challenge to develop lightweight EMW-absorbing fibrous materials with strong absorption capability and broad frequency range.

Abstract
Atomic-level structural editing is a promising way for facile synthesis and accurately constructing dielectric/magnetic synergistic attenuated hetero-units in electromagnetic wave absorbers (EWAs), but it is hard to realize. Herein, utilizing the rapid explosive volume expansion of the CoFe-bimetallic energetic metallic triazole framework (CoFe@E-MTF) during the heat treatment, the effective absorption bandwidth and the maximum absorption intensity of a series of atomic CoFe-inserted hierarchical porous carbon (CoFe@HPC) EWAs can be modified under the diverse synthetic temperature. Under the filler loading of 15 wt%, the fully covered X and Ku bands at 3 and 2.5 mm for CoFe@HPC800 and the superb minimum reflection loss (RLmin ) of -53.15 dB and specific reflection loss (SRL) of -101.24 dB mg-1 mm-1 for CoFe@HPC1000 are achieved. More importantly, the single-atomic chemical bonding among Co─Fe on the nanopores is captured by extended X-ray absorption fine structure, which reveals the formation mechanism of nanopore-confined vortical dipoles and magnetic domains. This work heralds the infinite possibilities of atomic editing EWA in the future.

Abstract
Graphene aerogels have gained considerable attention due to their unique physical properties, but their poor mechanical properties and lack of functionality have hindered their advanced applications. In this study, we propose a blend-spinning-assisted freeze-casting (BSFC) strategy to incorporate particle-modified carbon fibers into graphene aerogels for mechanical strengthening and functional enhancement. This method offers a great deal of freedom in the creation of customizable multimaterial, multiscale structural graphene aerogels. For example, we fabricated silicon carbide particle modified carbon fiber reinforced graphene (SiC/CF-GA) aerogels. The resulting aerogels display excellent properties such as being ultralightweight and highly resilient and having fatigue compression resistance (1000 cycles at 50% strain). Meanwhile, enhanced resilience inspired the effective strain-sensing capabilities of SiC/CF-GA aerogels with a sensitivity of 13.8 kPa-1. The adjustable dielectric properties due to SiC particle incorporation endow the SiC/CF-GA aerogel with a broad-band (8.0 GHz) effective electromagnetic wave attenuation performance. Besides, different particles could be incorporated into graphene aerogels via the BSFC strategy, allowing for customizable designs. Moreover, multifunctionalities were demonstrated by the modified aerogels, including noise absorption, thermal insulation, fire resistance, and waterproofing, further diversifying their practicality. Hence, the BSFC strategy provides a customized solution for fabricating modified graphene aerogels for advanced functional applications.

Boosting Interfacial Polarization Through Heterointerface Engineering in MXene/Graphene Intercalated-Based Microspheres for Electromagnetic Wave Absorption. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2023; 15:152.

Abstract
Multi-layer 2D material assemblies provide a great number of interfaces beneficial for electromagnetic wave absorption. However, avoiding agglomeration and achieving layer-by-layer ordered intercalation remain challenging. Here, 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/MXene/TiO2/Fe2C lightweight porous microspheres with periodical intercalated structures and pronounced interfacial effects were constructed by spray-freeze-drying and microwave irradiation based on the Maxwell-Wagner effect. Such approach reinforced interfacial effects via defects introduction, porous skeleton, multi-layer assembly and multi-component system, leading to synergistic loss mechanisms. The abundant 2D/2D/0D/0D intercalated heterojunctions in the microspheres provide a high density of polarization charges while generating abundant polarization sites, resulting in boosted interfacial polarization, which is verified by CST Microwave Studio simulations. By precisely tuning the 2D nanosheets intercalation in the heterostructures, both the polarization loss and impedance matching improve significantly. At a low filler loading of 5 wt%, the polarization loss rate exceeds 70%, and a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -67.4 dB can be achieved. Moreover, radar cross-section simulations further confirm the attenuation ability of the optimized porous microspheres. These results not only provide novel insights into understanding and enhancing interfacial effects, but also constitute an attractive platform for implementing heterointerface engineering based on customized 2D hierarchical architectures.

Modulation of electromagnetic wave absorption via porosity in Pechini-derived carbon guided by a random network model. NANOSCALE 2023; 15:5855-5864. [PMID: 36861889 DOI: 10.1039/d2nr06503g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
It is well established that porosity in carbon materials can benefit electromagnetic wave absorption by providing stronger interfacial polarization, better impedance matching, multiple reflections, and lower density, but an in-depth assessment is still lacking on this issue. The random network model describes the dielectric behavior of a conduction-loss absorber-matrix mixture with two parameters related to the volume fraction and conductivity, respectively. In this work, the porosity in carbon materials was tuned by a simple, green, and low-cost Pechini method, and the mechanism of how porosity affects EM wave absorption was investigated quantitatively based on the model. It was discovered that porosity was crucial for the formation of a random network, and a higher specific pore volume led to a larger volume fraction parameter and a lower conductivity parameter. Guided by the high throughput parameter sweeping based on the model, the Pechini-derived porous carbon could achieve an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.2 GHz at 2.2 mm. This study further verifies the random network model, unveiling the implication and influencing factors of the parameters, and opens a new path to optimize the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of conduction-loss materials.
