NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2024; 16:236. [PMID: 38963539 PMCID: PMC11224063 DOI: 10.1007/s40820-024-01444-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Inspired by the Chinese Knotting weave structure, an electromagnetic interference (EMI) nanofiber composite membrane with a twill surface was prepared. Poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (Pva-co-PE) nanofibers and twill nylon fabric were used as the matrix and filter templates, respectively. A Pva-co-PE-MXene/silver nanowire (Pva-co-PE-MXene/AgNW, PMxAg) membrane was successfully prepared using a template method. When the MXene/AgNW content was only 7.4 wt% (PM7.4Ag), the EMI shielding efficiency (SE) of the composite membrane with the oblique twill structure on the surface was 103.9 dB and the surface twill structure improved the EMI by 38.5%. This result was attributed to the pre-interference of the oblique twill structure in the direction of the incident EM wave, which enhanced the probability of the electromagnetic waves randomly colliding with the MXene nanosheets. Simultaneously, the internal reflection and ohmic and resonance losses were enhanced. The PM7.4Ag membrane with the twill structure exhibited both an outstanding tensile strength of 22.8 MPa and EMI SE/t of 3925.2 dB cm-1. Moreover, the PMxAg nanocomposite membranes demonstrated an excellent thermal management performance, hydrophobicity, non-flammability, and performance stability, which was demonstrated by an EMI SE of 97.3% in a high-temperature environment of 140 °C. The successful preparation of surface-twill composite membranes makes it difficult to achieve both a low filler content and a high EMI SE in electromagnetic shielding materials. This strategy provides a new approach for preparing thin membranes with excellent EMI properties.

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
Carbon fiber (CF) is a potential microwave absorption (MA) material due to the strong dielectric loss. Nevertheless, owing to the high conductivity, poor impedance matching of carbon-based materials results in limited MA performance. How to solve this problem and achieve excellent MA performance remains a principal challenge. Herein, taking full advantage of CF and excellent impedance matching of bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derivatives layer, an excellent microwave absorber based on micron-scale 1D CF and NiCoMOF (CF@NiCoMOF-800) is developed. After adjusting the oxygen vacancies of the bimetallic MOF, the resultant microwave absorber presented excellent MA properties including the minimum reflection loss (RLmin ) of -80.63 dB and wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 8.01 GHz when its mass percent is only 5 wt.% and the thickness is 2.59 mm. Simultaneously, the mechanical properties of the epoxy resin (EP)-based coating with this microwave absorber are effectively improved. The hardness (H), elastic modulus (E), bending strength, and compressive strength of CF@NiCoMOF-800/EP coating are 334 MPa, 5.56 GPa, 82.2 MPa, and 135.8 MPa, which is 38%, 15%, 106% and 53% higher than EP coating. This work provides a promising solution for carbon materials achieving excellent MA properties and mechanical properties.

Abstract
An emerging carbothermal shock method is an ultra-convenient strategy for synthesizing high-entropy alloys (HEAs), in which the intelligent combination of carbon support and HEAs can be serve as a decisive factor for interpreting the trade-off relationship between conductive gene and dielectric gene. However, the feedback mechanism of HEAs ordering degree on electromagnetic (EM) response in 2-18 GHz has not been comprehensively demystified. Herein, while lignin-based carbon fiber paper (L-CFP) as carbon support, L-CFP/FeCoNiCuZn-X with is prepared by carbothermal shock method. The reflection loss of -82.6 dB with thickness of 1.31 mm is achieved by means of pointing electron enrichment within L-CFP/FeCoNiCuZn HEAs heterointerfaces verified by theoretical calculations. Simultaneously, low-frequency evolution with high-intensity and broadband EM response relies on a "sacrificing" strategy achieved by construction of polymorphic L-CFP/semi-disordered-HEAs heterointerfaces. The practicality of L-CFP/FeCoNiCuZn-X in complex environments is given prominence to thermal conductivity, hydrophobicity, and electrocatalytic property. This work is of great significance for insightful mechanism analysis of HEAs in the application of electromagnetic wave absorption.

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
Composite materials that combine magnetic and dielectric losses offer a potential solution to enhance impedance match and significantly improve microwave absorption. In this study, Co3O4/ZnCo2O4 and ZnCo2O4/ZnO with varying metal oxide compositions are successfully synthesized, which are achieved by modifying the ratios of Co2+ and Zn2+ ions in the CoZn bimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor, followed by a high-temperature oxidative calcination process. Subsequently, a layer of polypyrrole (PPy) is coated onto the composite surfaces, resulting in the formation of core-shell structures known as Co3O4/ZnCo2O4@PPy (CZCP) and ZnCo2O4/ZnO@PPy (ZCZP) composites. The proposed method allows for rapid adjustments to the metal oxide composition within the inner shell, enabling the creation of composites with varying degrees of magnetic losses. The inclusion of PPy in the outer shell serves to enhance the bonding strength of the entire composite structure while contributing to conductive and dielectric losses. In specific experimental conditions, when the loading is set at 50 wt%, the CZCP composite exhibits an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.58 GHz (12.42 GHz-18 GHz) at a thickness of 1.53 mm. Meanwhile, the ZCZP composite demonstrates an impressive minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -71.2 dB at 13.04 GHz, with a thickness of 1.84 mm. This study offers a synthesis strategy for designing absorbent composites that possess light weight and excellent absorptive properties, thereby contributing to the advancement of electromagnetic wave absorbing materials.

Abstract
Traditional carbon materials such as graphene are often applied in the field of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption but they have unbalanced impedance matching and high conductivity. Bio-carbon with graphene-like structure derived from apples has many advantages over graphene: it can be prepared in large quantities and the abundant heteroatoms present in the lattice can provide many polarization phenomena. Herein, Prussian blue analogue (PBA) as a source of magnetic component was combined with bio-carbon or reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to study the EMW absorption properties. The fabricated BC/CFC-12-7 displayed performance with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -72.57 dB and a wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.25 GHz with an ultra-thin and nearly equal matching thickness at 1.61 mm. The results show that the good EMW absorption property of bio-carbon composites comes from good conduction loss, large relaxation polarization loss especially from pyridinic-N, and better impedance matching. The optimized radar cross section is found to be -33.55 dB m2 in the far-field condition using CST. This work explored the advantages of bio-carbon as a novel EMW absorbing material compared with graphene and provided ideas for realizing high-performance EMW absorbing materials in the future.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2303597. [PMID: 37528502 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202303597] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
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.

Conformal Human-Machine Integration Using Highly Bending-Insensitive, Unpixelated, and Waterproof Epidermal Electronics Toward Metaverse. NANO-MICRO LETTERS 2023; 15:199.

Abstract
Efficient and flexible interactions require precisely converting human intentions into computer-recognizable signals, which is critical to the breakthrough development of metaverse. Interactive electronics face common dilemmas, which realize high-precision and stable touch detection but are rigid, bulky, and thick or achieve high flexibility to wear but lose precision. Here, we construct highly bending-insensitive, unpixelated, and waterproof epidermal interfaces (BUW epidermal interfaces) and demonstrate their interactive applications of conformal human-machine integration. The BUW epidermal interface based on the addressable electrical contact structure exhibits high-precision and stable touch detection, high flexibility, rapid response time, excellent stability, and versatile "cut-and-paste" character. Regardless of whether being flat or bent, the BUW epidermal interface can be conformally attached to the human skin for real-time, comfortable, and unrestrained interactions. This research provides promising insight into the functional composite and structural design strategies for developing epidermal electronics, which offers a new technology route and may further broaden human-machine interactions toward metaverse.

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
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.
