Abstract
Currently, the microwave absorbers usually suffer dreadful electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA) performance damping at elevated temperature due to impedance mismatching induced by increased conduction loss. Consequently, the development of high-performance EMWA materials with good impedance matching and strong loss ability in wide temperature spectrum has emerged as a top priority. Herein, due to the high melting point, good electrical conductivity, excellent environmental stability, EM coupling effect, and abundant interfaces of titanium nitride (TiN) nanotubes, they were designed based on the controlling kinetic diffusion procedure and Ostwald ripening process. Benefiting from boosted heterogeneous interfaces between TiN nanotubes and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), enhanced polarization loss relaxations were created, which could not only improve the depletion efficiency of EMWA, but also contribute to the optimized impedance matching at elevated temperature. Therefore, the TiN nanotubes/PDMS composite showed excellent EMWA performances at varied temperature (298-573 K), while achieved an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) value of 3.23 GHz and a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of - 44.15 dB at 423 K. This study not only clarifies the relationship between dielectric loss capacity (conduction loss and polarization loss) and temperature, but also breaks new ground for EM absorbers in wide temperature spectrum based on interface engineering.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofiber (CNF) possesses excellent intrinsic properties, and many CNF-based high-performance structural and functional materials have been developed recently. However, the coordination of the mechanical properties and functionality is still a considerable challenge. Here, a CNF-based structural material is developed by a bioinspired gradient structure design using hollow magnetite nanoparticles and the phosphorylation-modified CNF as building blocks, which simultaneously achieves a superior mechanical performance and electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) ability. Benefiting from the gradient design, the flexural strength of the structural material reached ∼205 MPa. Meanwhile, gradient design improves impedance matching, contributing to the high EMA ability (-59.5 dB) and wide effective absorption width (5.20 GHz). Besides, a low coefficient of thermal expansion and stable storage modulus was demonstrated as the temperature changes. The excellent mechanical, thermal, and EMA performance exhibited great potential for application in stealth equipment and electromagnetic interference protecting electronic packaging materials.

Polymer-derived SiOC reinforced with core-shell nanophase structure of ZrB 2/ZrO 2 for excellent and stable high-temperature microwave absorption (up to 900 °C). Sci Rep 2023; 13:267.

Abstract
Microwave absorbing materials for high-temperature harsh environments are highly desirable for aerodynamically heated parts and engine combustion induced hot spots of aircrafts. This study reports ceramic composites with excellent and stable high-temperature microwave absorption in air, which are made of polymer-derived SiOC reinforced with core-shell nanophase structure of ZrB2/ZrO2. The fabricated ceramic composites have a crystallized t-ZrO2 interface between ZrB2 and SiOC domains. The ceramic composites exhibit stable dielectric properties, which are relatively insensitive to temperature change from room temperature to 900 °C. The return loss exceeds - 10 dB, especially between 28 and 40 GHz, at the elevated temperatures. The stable high-temperature electromagnetic (EM) absorption properties are attributed to the stable dielectric and electrical properties induced by the core-shell nanophase structure of ZrB2/ZrO2. Crystallized t-ZrO2 serve as nanoscale dielectric interfaces between ZrB2 and SiOC, which are favorable for EM wave introduction for enhancing polarization loss and absorption. Existence of t-ZrO2 interface also changes the temperature-dependent DC conductivity of ZrB2/SiOC ceramic composites when compared to that of ZrB2 and SiOC alone. Experimental results from thermomechanical, jet flow, thermal shock, and water vapor tests demonstrate that the developed ceramic composites have high stability in harsh environments, and can be used as high-temperature wide-band microwave absorbing structural materials.

Abstract
Modern electromagnetic (EM) absorbing materials (EAMs) are experiencing a revolution triggered by advanced information technology. Simultaneously, the diverse harsh EM application scenarios entail a more stringent appeal of practicability to EAMs, especially under high-temperature conditions. Therefore, exploring EAMs with both excellent absorbing performance and practicability at elevated temperatures is necessary. Herein, a novel 3D porous carbon foam/carbon nanotubes@Si3N4 (CF/CNTs@Si3N4) heterostructure was constructed by the chemical vapor infiltration process. The optimally grown 1D CNTs embedded in 3D CF/Si3N4 are utilized to provide abundant nanointerface coupling effects to compensate for the excessive increase in the conductive loss during rising temperature to realize a self-adjustment in response to high temperature. A high-efficiency EM absorption over a wide temperature range from 25 to 480 °C was achieved (with a ≥90% absorbing ratio covering the whole X-band). In addition, the Si3N4 coating can improve the thermal stability of the carbon matrix and maintain the tailored inner structure. Multiple investigations into other environmental adaptabilities also exhibited the application perspective of such a heterostructure. This work points out a new strategy for preparing designable, efficient, and high-temperature applicable EAMs, promoting the diverse development of electronic devices.

Abstract
Dielectric loss is an important way to eliminate electromagnetic pollution. In order to achieve high dielectric loss, a graphene film reduced graphene oxide-N doped graphene (rGO-NG) was constructed from graphene oxide-Ni@polydopamine (GO-Ni@PDA) via thein situsynthesis of hollow graphene spheres between graphene sheets. Thisin situwas achieved by means of electrostatic self-assembly and metal-catalyzed crystallization. Owing to the synergetic effect of multi-nanocavities and multi-defects, the prepared rGO-NG film shows an average shielding effectiveness (SE) of 50.0 dB in the range of 8.2-12.4 GHz with a thickness of 12.2μm, and the SE reflection is only 7.3 dB on average. It also exhibits an average dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) of 23.1, which is 26 and 105 times higher than those of rGO and rGO-Ni, respectively. This work provides a simple but effective route to develop high performance graphene-based materials for application as an electromagnetic interference shielding film in today's electronic devices.

Abstract
A novel type of all-ceramic SiC aerogel was fabricated by freeze casting and carbothermal reduction reaction processes using graphene oxide (GO) doped SiC nanowires suspensions as starting materials. The effect of GO addition (0, 1, 2, and 4 mg/mL) on the porous morphologies, chemical composition, and the electromagnetic (EM) performance of the SiC aerogels were investigated. The optimum all-ceramic SiC aerogel exhibits effective whole X-band attenuation (>90%) at a fixed thickness of 3.3 mm from room temperature to 400 °C. It is ultralight with a density of 0.2 g/cm3 and possesses a low thermal conductivity of about 0.05 W/mK. The material composition remains stable at temperatures up to 800 °C. The lightweight, high thermal stability, low thermal conductivity, and excellent X-band attenuation performance at a fixed thin thickness make the all-ceramic SiC aerogels potential EM attenuation materials for many applications in harsh environments.

Abstract
Electromagnetic (EM) absorbers serving in the megahertz (MHz) band and a wide temperature range (from -50 to 150 °C) require high and temperature-stable permeability for outstanding EM absorption performance. Herein, FeCoNiCr0.4CuX high-entropy alloy (HEA) powders with a unique nanocrystalline structure separated by a thin amorphous layer (NTA) are designed to improve permeability and enhance intergranular coupling. Simultaneously, the long-range anisotropy is introduced via devising the preparation process and tuning the chemical composition, such that the intergranular exchange interaction is further strengthened for stable permeability and EM wave absorption in a wide temperature range. FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 HEAs exhibit a near-zero permeability temperature coefficient (5.7 × 10-7 °C-1) a in wide temperature range. The maximum reflection loss (RL) of FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 HEAs is higher than -7 dB with 5 mm thickness at -50-150 °C, and the absorption bandwidth (RL < -7 dB) can almost cover 400-1000 MHz. Furthermore, FeCoNiCr0.4Cu0.2 HEAs also have a high Curie temperature (770 °C) and distinguished oxidation resistance. The permeability temperature dependence of FeCoNiCr0.4CuX HEAs is investigated in-depth in light of the microstructural change induced by tuning the chemical composition, and a new inspiration is provided for the design of magnetic applications serving in wide temperature, such as transformers, sensors, and EM absorbers.

Abstract
High-temperature electromagnetic (EM) protection materials integrated of multiple EM protection mechanisms and functions are regarded as desirable candidates for solving EM interference over a wide temperature range. In this work, a novel microwave modulator is fabricated by introducing carbonyl iron particles (CIP)/resin into channels of carbonized wood (C-wood). Innovatively, the spaced arrangement of two microwave absorbents not only achieves a synergistic enhancement of magnetic and dielectric losses, but also breaks the translational invariance of EM characteristics in the horizontal direction to obtain multiple phase discontinuities in the frequency range of 8.2-18.0 GHz achieving modulation of reflected wave radiation direction. Accordingly, CIP/C-wood microwave modulator demonstrates the maximum effective bandwidth of 5.2 GHz and the maximum EM protection efficiency over 97% with a thickness of only 1.5 mm in the temperature range 298-673 K. Besides, CIP/C-wood microwave modulator shows stable and low thermal conductivities, as well as monotonic electrical conductivity-temperature characteristics, therefore it can also achieve thermal infrared stealth and working temperature monitoring in wide temperature ranges. This work provides an inspiration for the design of high-temperature EM protection materials with multiple EM protection mechanisms and functions.

Abstract
Research activity on ceramic/graphene composites and hybrids has increased dramatically in the last decade. In this review, we provide an overview of recent contributions involving ceramics, graphene, and graphene-related materials (GRM, i.e., graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and graphene nanoplatelets) with a primary focus on applications. We have adopted a broad scope of the term ceramics, therefore including some applications of GRM with certain metal oxides and cement-based matrices in the review. Applications of ceramic/graphene hybrids and composites cover many different areas, in particular, energy production and storage (batteries, supercapacitors, solar and fuel cells), energy harvesting, sensors and biosensors, electromagnetic interference shielding, biomaterials, thermal management (heat dissipation and heat conduction functions), engineering components, catalysts, etc. A section on ceramic/GRM composites processed by additive manufacturing methods is included due to their industrial potential and waste reduction capability. All these applications of ceramic/graphene composites and hybrids are listed and mentioned in the present review, ending with the authors' outlook of those that seem most promising, based on the research efforts carried out in this field.

Abstract
High-performance microwave absorbers with special features are desired to meet the requirements of more complex modern service environments, especially corrosive environments. Therefore, high-efficiency microwave absorbers with corrosion resistance should be developed urgently. Herein, a 3D NiAl-layered double hydroxide/graphene (NiAl-LDH/G) composite synthesized by atomic-layer-deposition-assisted in situ growth is presented as an anticorrosive microwave absorber. The content of NiAl-LDH in the composite is optimized to achieve impedance matching. Furthermore, under the cooperative effects of the interface polarization loss, conduction loss, and 3D porous sandwich-like structure, the optimal NiAl-LDH/G shows excellent microwave absorption performance with a minimum reflection loss of -41.5 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 4.4 GHz at a loading of only 7 wt% in epoxy. Remarkably, the encapsulation effect of NiAl-LDH can restrain the galvanic corrosion owing to graphene. The epoxy coating with the NiAl-LDH/G microwave absorber on carbon steel exhibits long-term corrosion resistance, owing to the synergetic effect of the superior impermeability of graphene and the chloridion-capture capacity of the NiAl-LDH. The NiAl-LDH/G composite is a promising anticorrosive microwave absorber, and the findings of this study may motivate the development of functional microwave absorbers that meet the demands of anticorrosive performance of coatings.

Abstract
There is a critical need to develop lightweight and mechanically reliable materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications in the harsh environment. In this study, we propose a low-density (∼2.2 g/cm3) reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/silica ceramic with multilayer rGO sheets parallelly aligned inside the silica matrix through a new intercalation strategy. The parallel rGO sheets lead to outstanding EMI shielding effectiveness values of 29-33 dB in the X-band, owing to the interlayer multiple reflections of the electromagnetic wave. Meanwhile, the parallel rGO sheets elevate the flexural strength by 110-130% and improve the fracture toughness by 100-130% compared with the monolithic silica by capturing and deflecting the propagating cracks. The nanolaminated structure constructed by the intercalation approach can effectively break the trade-off between mechanical properties and EMI shielding performances in the graphene/ceramic composites, thus opening up new opportunities in the lightweight and mechanically reliable EMI applications.

Strong and thermostable hydrothermal carbon coated 3D needled carbon fiber reinforced silicon-boron carbonitride composites with broadband and tunable high-performance microwave absorption. J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 582:270-282.

Abstract
Excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials with high-temperature stable and superior mechanical properties are among the most promising candidates for practical application. Here, novel hydrothermal carbon coated three-dimensional (3D) needled carbon fiber reinforced silicon-boron carbonitride (HC-CF/SiBCN) composites with a hierarchical A (CF)/B (HC)/C (SiBCN) structure were constructed and prepared for the first time by combining hydrothermal transformation and precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process. The thickness of the HC coating controlled by the glucose concentration played a crucial role in tailoring the EMW capacity of the composite. The incorporation of SiBCN could not only effectively improve the oxidation resistance but also actively enhance the mechanical properties of the HC coated CF structure. Compared to the weak high-temperature oxidation resistance and mechanical properties of pristine 3D needled CF felt, the composites after the introduction of HC and SiBCN were thermostable in air atmosphere beyond 1000 °C to about above 70% weight retention, and the maximum flexural and compression strength of the composites could reach to 23.51 ± 1.37 and 12.22 ± 1.12 MPa, respectively. A substantial enhancement of EMW absorption ability was achieved through incorporation of HC and SiBCN, which could be attributed to the matched characteristic impedance and enhanced loss ability, whose optimization EMW absorption performance was the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -52.08 dB and effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.64 GHz for the composite obtained by two PIP cycles with 24 wt% glucose solution, demonstrating that the HC-CF/SiBCN composites with high-temperature stable, excellent mechanical and superior EMW absorption properties could be considered as a promising candidate for the applications in harsh environments.

Abstract
Lithium aluminum silicate (LAS) nanoparticles have been successfully loaded on graphene nanosheets by adding a silane coupling agent KH-550 by sol-gel process, hydrothermal reaction, and heat treatment process. By regulating the complex permittivity of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) by LAS nanoparticles and KH-550, LAS/rGO-KH-550 possesses excellent microwave absorption performance. The maximum reflection loss of LAS/rGO-KH-550 reaches -62.25 dB at 16.48 GHz with thickness of only 2.7 mm, and the widest bandwidth is up to 6.64 GHz below -10 dB. The LAS/rGO-KH-550 has effective absorption (99.9%) below -20 dB at all X and Ku bands (8-18 GHz). Also, the added quantity of composites in the paraffin matrix is only 20 wt %. The results demonstrate that the interfacial polarization, the Debye dipolar relaxation, the well-matched characteristic impedance, and the quarter-wavelength matching all play important roles in improving the microwave absorption properties of LAS/rGO-KH-550 nanocomposites. Consequently, the LAS/rGO-KH-550 nanocomposites can be readily applied as an ultra-wide-band, light weight, and ultra-high-performance microwave-absorbing material.
