Abstract
Microwave-absorbing materials play a significant role in various applications that involve the attenuation of electromagnetic radiation. This critical review article provides an overview of the progress made in the development and understanding of microwave-absorbing materials. The interaction between electromagnetic radiation and absorbing materials is explained, with a focus on phenomena such as multiple reflections, scattering, and polarizations. Additionally, types of losses that affect the performance of microwave absorbers are also discussed, including dielectric loss, conduction loss, relaxation loss, magnetic loss, and morphological loss. Each of these losses has different implications for the effectiveness of microwave absorbers. Further, a detailed review is presented on various types of microwave absorbing materials, including carbonaceous materials, conducting polymers, magnetic materials, metals and their composites, 2D materials (such as MXenes and 2D-transition metal dichalcogenides), biomass-derived materials, carbides, sulphides, phosphides, high entropy (HE) materials and metamaterials. The characteristics, advantages, and limitations of each material are examined. Overall, this review article highlights the progress achieved in the field of microwave-absorbing materials. It underlines the importance of optimizing different types of losses to enhance the performance of microwave absorbers. The review also recognizes the potential of emerging materials, such as 2D materials and high entropy materials, in further advancing microwave-absorbing properties.

Abstract
An Fe2P nanoparticle (Fe2P NP)-decorated carbon nanofiber (represented as Fe2P@CNF) composite was in situ prepared by electrospinning and subsequent high-temperature treatment. Benefitting from the synergy effect between Fe2P NPs and CNFs, as well as improved interface polarization and impedance matching, the Fe2P@CNF composite exhibits excellent microwave absorption performance relative to pure CNFs, in which the Fe2P@CNF composite with a fill loading of only 10 wt% possesses a minimum reflection loss (RL) of -49.2 dB at 3.0 mm and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 6.0 GHz at 2.2 mm. Therefore, this work provides a promising approach for the design and synthesis of an Fe2P@CNF composite with high-performance microwave absorption.

Risk and safety profile of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS): an umbrella review to inform ENDS health communication strategies. Tob Control 2022:tobaccocontrol-2022-057495. [PMID: 36252567 PMCID: PMC10043882 DOI: 10.1136/tc-2022-057495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This umbrella review aims to summarise the evidence about electronic nicotine delivery systems' (ENDS) risk and safety health profile to inform ENDS health communication strategies. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY SELECTION Six databases were searched for systematic reviews presenting evidence on ENDS-related health effects. Ninety reviews divided into five categories were included: toxicity=20, health effects=40, role in smoking cessation=24, role in transition to combustible cigarettes (CCs)=13 and industry marketing claims=4. DATA EXTRACTION Findings were synthesised in narrative summaries. Meta-analyses were conducted by study type when appropriate. Quality assessment was conducted using the Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews. The Institute of Medicine's Levels of Evidence Framework was used to classify the evidence into high-level, moderate, limited-suggestive and limited-not-conclusive. DATA SYNTHESIS We found high-level evidence that ENDS exposes users to toxic substances; increases the risk of respiratory disease; leads to nicotine dependence; causes serious injuries due to explosion or poisoning; increases smoking cessation in clinical trials but not in observational studies; increases CC initiation; and exposure to ENDS marketing increases its use/intention to use. Evidence was moderate for ENDS association with mental health and substance use, limited-suggestive for cardiovascular, and limited-not-conclusive for cancer, ear, ocular and oral diseases, and pregnancy outcomes. CONCLUSIONS As evidence is accumulating, ENDS communication can focus on high-level evidence on ENDS association with toxicity, nicotine addiction, respiratory disease, ENDS-specific harm (explosion, poisoning) and anti-ENDS industry sentiment. Direct comparison between the harm of CCs and ENDS should be avoided. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42021241630.

Abstract
Effective utilization of photoexcited electrons and holes is always a challenge in photocatalytic reactions. Herein, we reported ternary NixCo1-xP/reduced graphene oxide/g-C3N4 (NixCo1-xP/rGO/CN) composite as a photocatalyst for synergistic poly(lactic acid) photoreforming and H2 generation in alkaline aqueous solution. The rate of H2 production over the optimal 15Ni0·1Co0·9P/rGO/CN reached 576.7 μmol h-1 g-1, which is 3.6 times as high as binary 15Ni0·1Co0·9P/CN composite. The apparent quantum efficiency of the optimal 15Ni0·1Co0·9P/rGO/CN was 1.7% at λ = 420 nm monochromatic light. Mott-Schottky analysis suggested that the photogenerated electrons transfer along the pathway of CN→rGO→Ni0·1Co0·9P, where rGO and Ni0·1Co0·9P functioned as the medium for electron transporting and reaction site for H2 generation, respectively. Meanwhile, poly(lactic acid) was photoreformed into formate and acetate by the photogenerated holes and hydroxyl radical. This work demonstrates that ternary NixCo1-xP/rGO/CN composite can be applied as a cheap and promising photocatalyst for synergistic plastic photoreforming and H2 generation.

Abstract
High-performance microwave absorbing materials require optimized impedance matching and high attenuation ability. Here we meet the challenge by incorporating electric loss with magnetic loss materials to prepare carbon-based/magnetic hybrids. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) composites were prepared by dispersing the LSMO powders into 4.25, 6.25, 8.16, and 10 wt% of the graphene oxide aqueous solution, then the rGO/LSMO composites were formed by hydrothermal method. The pure rGO, LSMO, and rGO/LSMO composites were studied using X-ray diffraction and SEM. Microwave absorption properties were investigated by using coin method. Simulation studies show that 6.25 wt% of rGO/LSMO in a wax matrix exhibits the strongest reflection loss of -47.9 dB @ 10.7 GHz at a thickness of 2.5 mm. Moreover, the effective absorption bandwidth with the reflection loss below -10 dB is up to 14.5 GHz, ranged from 3.5 to 18 GHz for the composites with a thickness of 1.5-5.5 mm, due to a synergism between dielectric loss of rGO and magnetic loss of magnetic LSMO, which is an interesting exploration in the applications of rGO and LSMO. This method can be extended to design and fabricate hybrid absorbers with effective microwave absorption.
