文摘Metal nitrides exhibit excellent properties and application potential as electromagnetic wave(EMW)ab-sorbing materials.Their high conductivity and adjustable dielectric properties allow them to effectively attenuate EMW.However,the current research on the synergistic effect of metal nitrides is scarce and has limited applications in the field of EMW absorption.In this work,Co/Ni metal-nitride fiber composites with multiphase structures were constructed by electrostatic spinning and multiphase composite process.The synergistic loss mechanism of multiphase structure and N atomic modulation is explored by modu-lating the components and microstructure of the materials.By constructing the multiphase composites,the controllable tuning of non-homogeneous interfaces and the enhanced interfacial polarization loss ef-fect were achieved.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to analyze the charge transfer ca-pability at the interface of multiphase Co/Ni metal nitride fiber composites.Through the controllable reg-ulation of the multiphase structure,the Co/Ni bimetallic nitride fiber composite(Co_(5.47)N/Ni_(4)N/CF)exhib-ited the strongest polarization loss capability,achieving a minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of−43.82 dB and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB_(max))of 7.04 GHz.This study provides a valuable reference for multiphase composites in the field of EMW absorption by exploring the polarization loss mechanism of Co/Ni metal nitride multiphase materials.

文摘In recent years,two-dimensional layered transition metal dichalcogenides-based multicomponent com-posites(MCCs)acting as electromagnetic wave(EMW)materials have received intensive investiga-tions.However,the vulcanication of metal greatly hindered their enhancement of EMW absorption per-formances(EMWAPs).Herein,a combined metal-organic frameworks-derived and hydrothermal strat-egy was presented to produce yolk-shell structure(YSS)CoNi@Air@C@MoS_(2) MCCs.The results showed that the thermal and hydrothermal treatments resulted in the generation of YSS and two-dimensional MoS_(2) nanosheets,which maintained the original morphology of CoNi Prussian blue analogues.The pro-tection of thick C layer well inhibited the vulcanization of inner CoNi alloy.The formed sheet-like MoS_(2) further optimized impedance matching characteristics,which led to the satisfactory EMWAPs of CoNi@Air@C@MoS_(2) MCCs.Furthermore,the EMWAPs could be further improved by optimizing the Ni:Co atom ratios CoNi@Air@C@MoS_(2) MCCs,which stemmed from their boosted impedance matching perfor-mances,EMW attention and polarization loss abilities.The absorption bandwidth and reflection loss val-ues for YSS CoNi@Air@C@MoS_(2) MCCs are 8 GHz and−60.83 dB,which covered almost all C-Ku bands.In general,our research work provided a valid strategy to produce YSS magnetic CoNi@Air@C@MoS_(2) MCCs with high efficiency,which well avoided the vulcanization of metal nanoparticles,made best of hollow engineering and atomic ratio optimization strategy to boost the comprehensive EMWAPs.

文摘Hollow engineering plays a crucial role in enhancing interfacial polarization,which is an essential factor in microwave absorption.Herein,an in-situ growth approach was adopted to successively coating C layer and WS_(2) nanosheets on the surface SiO_(2) nanosphere.The obtained results suggested that the formed SiO_(2)@Void@C@WS_(2) multi-component nanocomposites(MCNCs)reveal a representative flower-like yolk-shell structure,which were manufactured massively through a simple channel.Additionally,the obtained SiO_(2)@Void@C@WS_(2) MCNCs presented a more and more obvious yolk-shell structure and reduced WS_(2) content with decreasing the addition of SiO_(2)@C or tungsten and sulfur sources.Because of their distinc-tive structures and remarkable cooperative effects,the SiO_(2)@Void@C@WS_(2) displayed excellent microwave absorption performances.Through the majorization of hollow structure and WS_(2),improved properties of SiO_(2)@Void@C@WS_(2) MCNCs could be acquired owing to their boosted polarization and conductive loss capabilities.Amongst,the resulting SiO_(2)@Void@C@WS_(2) MCNCs exhibited the effective absorption band and minimum reflection loss values of 5.40 GHz and−45.50 dB with matching thicknesses of 1.78 and 1.55 mm,respectively.Therefore,our findings employed hollow engineering and optimization strategies for components to design and fabricate the yolk-shell structure flower-like MCNCs,which acted as highly efficient wide-band microwave absorbing materials.

文摘High-entropy carbides are increasingly favored as electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials because of their customizable structures and distinctive high-entropy effects.Nonetheless,the influence of entropy changes on the absorptive characteristics of high-entropy carbide ceramics remains underexplored.In this work,the impact of increased entropy on the absorption characteristics of stable high-entropy transition metal carbides has been systematically studied.This work prepared three carbides ceramics with different entropy values:(Mo_(1/3)Nb_(1/3)Ta_(1/3))C,(Ti_(1/4)Mo_(1/4)Nb_(1/4)Ta_(1/4))C,and(Zr_(1/5)Ti_(1/5)Mo_(1/5)Nb_(1/5)Ta_(1/5))C.The impact of entropy variation in high-entropy carbide nanowires on their wave-absorbing properties was studied.The results showed excellent electromagnetic wave absorption,achieving a minimum reflection loss of−50.08 dB at 1.8 mm,and demonstrating an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.675 GHz at 1.7 mm.In addition,through detailed structure,morphology,and chemical state characterization,as well as wave absorption capability testing,research indicates that high-entropy carbides can effectively regulate defects by adjusting the size of entropy,leading to lattice distortion,discontinuous lattice fringes,and vacancies.The presence of these defects enhances the polarization loss and balances the excessively high dielectric constant of high-entropy carbide ceramics.Additionally,the design of one-dimensional structures facilitates carrier migration,thereby increasing conductive loss.Collectively,these factors enhance the ability of the samples to attenuate electromagnetic waves.This study lays a theoretical foundation and provides experimental guidance for developing new high-performance materials for electromagnetic wave absorption.

文摘The effective construction of electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption materials with thin matching thickness,broad bandwidth,and remarkable absorption is a great solution to EM pollution,which is a hot topic in current environmental governance.In this study,N-doped reduced graphene oxide(N-rGO)was first prepared using a facile hydrothermal method.Then,high-purity 1T-MoS_(2)petals were homogeneously anchored to the wrinkled surface of N-rGO to fabricate 1T-MoS_(2)@N-rGO nanocomposites.The numerous electric di-poles and profuse heterointerfaces in 1T-MoS_(2)@N-rGO would induced the multiple reflection and scattering of EM waves in a distinct-ive multidimensional structure formed by two-dimensional N-rGO and 1T-MoS_(2)microspheres with plentiful thin nanosheets,remarkable conduction loss derived from the migration of massive electrons in a well-constructed conductive network formed by 1T-MoS_(2)@N-rGO,and abundant polarization loss(including dipolar polarization loss and interfacial polarization loss).All of these gave the 1T-MoS_(2)@N-rGO nanocomposites superior EM wave absorption performances.The effective absorption bandwidth of 1T-MoS_(2)@N-rGO reached 6.48 GHz with a relatively thin matching thickness of 1.84 mm,and a minimum reflection loss of-52.24 dB was achieved at 3.84 mm.Additionally,the radar scattering cross-section reduction value of 1T-MoS_(2)@N-rGO was up to 35.42 dB·m^(2) at 0°,which further verified the huge potential of our fabricated 1T-MoS_(2)@N-rGO nanocomposites in practical applications.

文摘The integration of nano-semiconductors into electromagnetic wave absorption materials is a highly desirable strategy for intensifying dielectric polarization loss;achieving high-attenuation microwave absorption and realizing in-depth comprehension of dielectric loss mechanisms remain challenges.Herein,ultrafine oxygen vacancy-rich Nb_(2)O_(5)semiconductors are confined in carbon nanosheets(ov-Nb_(2)O_(5)/CNS)to boost dielectric polarization and achieve high attenuation.The polarization relaxation,electromagnetic response,and impedance matching of the ov-Nb_(2)O_(5)/CNS are significantly facilitated by the Nb_(2)O_(5)semiconductors with rich oxygen vacancies,which consequently realizes an extremely high attenuation performance of-80.8 dB(>99.999999%wave absorption)at 2.76 mm.As a dielectric polarization center,abundant Nb_(2)O_(5)–carbon heterointerfaces can intensify interfacial polarization loss to strengthen dielectric polarization,and the presence of oxygen vacancies endows Nb_(2)O_(5)semiconductors with abundant charge separation sites to reinforce electric dipole polarization.Moreover,the three-dimensional reconstruction of the absorber using microcomputer tomography technology provides insight into the intensification of the unique lamellar morphology regarding multiple reflection and scattering dissipation characteristics.Additionally,ov-Nb_(2)O_(5)/CNS demonstrates excellent application potential by curing into a microwave-absorbing,machinable,and heat-dissipating plate.This work provides insight into the dielectric polarization loss mechanisms of nano-semiconductor/carbon composites and inspires the design of high-performance microwave absorption materials.

文摘Impedance matching characteristics and loss capabilities including magnetic loss,polarization loss and conduction loss are critical factors to improve microwave absorption performances(MAPs).To elevate these aspects,herein,yolk-shell structured CoNi@Air@C/SiO_(2)@Polypyrrole(PPy)magnetic multicomponent nanocubes(MCNCs)were designed and successfully fabricated in high efficiency through a continuous co-precipitation route,classical Stöber method,thermal treatment and polymerization reaction.The obtained results indicated that the formation of SiO_(2) effectively stabilized the cubic geometrical morphology and yolk-shell structure during the high-temperature pyrolysis process.The introduction of PPy greatly boosted their polarization loss and conductive loss capabilities.Therefore,the as-prepared yolkshell structured CoNi@Air@C/SiO_(2)@PPy MCNCs presented superior MAPs compared to CoNi@Air@C/SiO_(2) MCNCs.Furthermore,by regulating the content of PPy,the obtained CoNi@Air@C/SiO_(2)@PPy MCNCs displayed tunable and excellent comprehensive MAPs in terms of strong absorption capabilities,broad frequency bandwidths and thin matching thicknesses,which could be ascribed to the unique structure and excellent magnetic-dielectric synergistic effect.Therefore,our findings provided an alternative pathway to effectively utilize the magnetic-dielectric synergy and loss capabilities for the developing yolk-shell structured magnetic MCNCs as the strong wideband microwave absorbers.

文摘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.

文摘Recently,the strategy of tuning the dielectric parameters of absorbers for their excellent electromag-netic wave absorption(EMA)performance has attracted much attention.Among those candidates used for EMA application,high-entropy oxides(HEOs)can be implemented with this strategy due to their rich composition modulability.In this work,a series of implementation approaches varying from elemental design to structural modulation are employed to modulate the dielectric parameters of HEOs,resulting in their excellent EMA performance.The addition of Ti element optimizes the dipole distribution at the microscopic scales,improving the dielectric polarization of the materials.Moreover,a composite mate-rial is constructed by physically blending HEO with acetylene black(ACET),which significantly improves the macroscopic conduction loss of the material.The optimization of the dielectric genes of HEO/ACET is achieved with the blending effect and excellent EMA performance could be obtained.Among them,HEO with 17.5%ACET addition exhibits dual-band absorption,while Ti-HEO containing Ti element exhibits not only low-frequency absorption with reflection loss(RL)up to-29.81 dB at C-band but broadband absorption over 6 GHz as well as an optimal RL value up to-52.31 dB.In addition to the development of innovative EMA materials,this study offers a new perspective on how the EMA characteristics can be effectively regulated.

文摘The rational construction of lightweight composites with multiple heterogeneous interfaces represents an effective strategy for achieving efficient electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption.However,the impact of multiple heterogeneous interfaces on electromagnetic performance still needs further exploration.Herein,reduced graphene oxide(rGO)@Ni-FeCo layered hydroxide(LDH)derivatives with multiple heterostructures were synthesized by a series of processes including electrostatic self-assembly,freeze-drying and thermal annealing.The conductive network in rGO and the cavities inside LDH facilitate electron migration and effectively prolong the propagation path of EMW,thereby enhancing conductivity loss.The abundant heterogeneous interfaces between carbon components and metal nanoparticles induce interfacial polarization.In addition,the catalytic activity differences of different metal particles generate different dielectric electromagnetic interfaces,which further promote interfacial polarization.The natural and exchange resonance formed by magnetic particles under a magnetic field provides magnetic losses.Therefore,the successful construction of multiple heterogeneous interfaces effectively enhances the conductivity loss and polarization loss.With a thickness of only 1.4 mm,the composite achieves a minimum reflection loss of-51.8 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 4.5 GHz.This work provides an effective strategy for achieving thin thickness and efficient EMW absorption through precise structural design and multi-component construction of absorbers.

文摘Three-dimensional(3D)ordered porous carbon is generally believed to be a promising electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing material.However,most research works targeted performance improvement of 3D ordered porous carbon,and the specific attenuation mechanism is still ambiguous.Therefore,in this work,a novel ultra-light egg-derived porous carbon foam(EDCF)structure has been successfully constructed by a simple carbonization combined with the silica microsphere template-etching process.Based on an equivalent substitute strategy,the influence of pore volume and specific surface area on the electromagnetic parameters and EMW absorption properties of the EDCF products was confirmed respectively by adjusting the addition content and diameter of silica microspheres.As a primary attenuation mode,the dielectric loss originates from the comprehensive effect of conduction loss and polarization loss in S-band and C band,and the value is dominated by polarization loss in X band and Ku band,which is obviously greater than that of conduction loss.Furthermore,in all samples,the largest effective absorption bandwidth of EDCF-3 is 7.12 GHz under the thickness of 2.13 mm with the filling content of approximately 5 wt%,covering the whole Ku band.Meanwhile,the EDCF-7 sample with optimized pore volume and specific surface area achieves minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of−58.08 dB at 16.86 GHz while the thickness is 1.27 mm.The outstanding research results not only provide a novel insight into enhancement of EMW absorption properties but also clarify the dominant dissipation mechanism for the porous carbon-based absorber from the perspective of objective experiments.

文摘Porous SiOC ceramic was successfully prepared by pyrolysis of dimethylsilicone oil,silane coupling agent and melamine foam.The microwave absorbing properties of porous SiOC were studied for the first time.At the matching layer thickness of 3.0 mm,the paraffin-based composite with porous SiOC displays a minimum reflection coefficient(RC)of-39.13 d B(11.76 GHz)and an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 4.64 GHz which are much larger than that of paraffin-based composite with ordinary SiOC.It is found that the porous structure of SiOC is crucial to achieve its high microwave absorption performance by improving both the polarization loss and conduction loss.The enhanced polarization loss is originated from the dipole polarization and interfacial polarization,while the improvement of conduction loss is attributed to the carbon skeleton of porous SiOC.These results indicate that porous SiOC ceramic is a promising candidate for high-performance ceramic-based microwave absorbing materials.

文摘The low dielectric loss of mesoporous carbon hollow microsphere(PCHM)requires high filler loading(higher than 20 wt%)when it is used as microwave absorbers.In order to decrease the filler loading of PCHM,a new strategy for synergistic increase of polarization and conductive loss was developed by twining PCHM with carbon nanotube(CNT)according to theoretic calculation.By the optimization of CNT content,the minimum reflection coefficient was -34.6 dB with a filler loading of only 10 wt%,which was much lower than -2.1 dB of PCHM.In addition,the effective absorption bandwidth was 3.6 GHz at X band with a thickness of 2.8 mm.The enhanced microwave absorption performance can be ascribed to the unique combination of hollow PCHM and one-dimensional CNT with higher graphitization degree,leading to increase of conductivity and heterogeneous interfaces.As a result,the conductive loss increased from 0.12 to 2.27 and polarization loss increased from 0.15 to 0.67,achieving the balance between attenuation ability and impedance match.
