文摘Electromagnetic wave absorption(EWA)materials for use in extreme environments are of great interest.Herein,SiC nanowires/SiC whiskers(SiC_(nw)/SiC_(w))foam with unique“wire-on-sphere”hierarchical structure was developed for efficient high-temperature EWA.SiC_(w)were assembled to porous SiC_(w)spheres via spray drying and then SiC_(w)spheres were 3D printed to SiC_(w)foam.The catalyst-free precursor infiltration pyrolysis process was first developed to ensure that SiCnwcan intentionally grow in situ on the surface of SiC_(w)spheres,thereby achieving“wire-on-sphere”hierarchical structure foam.At room-temperature,the maximum electromagnetic wave effective absorption bandwidth(EAB_(max))and minimum electromagnetic wave reflection coefficient(RC_(min))of SiC_(nw)/SiC_(w)foam can reach 4 GHz and-57 dB,respectively.At600℃,the EAB_(max)and RC_(min) were 3 GHz and-15 dB,respectively.Furthermore,even oxidized at 1000-1500℃,SiC_(nw)/SiC_(w)foam can still retain EAB_(max)ranging from 2.7 to 3.9 GHz and RC_(min)ranging from-16 dB to-64 dB,because the formation of SiO_(2)layer with appropriate thickness can boost interfacial polarization and regulate impedance matching.The SiC_(nw)/SiC_(w)foam also shows the flexural strength as high as 17.05 MPa.All results demonstrate that the SiC nw/SiC_(w)foam is a promising EWA material for applications of harsh environments.And the material-independent“wire-on-sphere”hierarchical structure and its novel preparation process should find the widespread use in the design and fabrication of high-efficiency EWA micro-nano materials.

文摘Electromagnetic(EM)wave-absorbing materials with high-temperature-resistance are urgently desirable to eliminate EM interference in extreme conditions.Precursor derived ceramics(PDC)route is being evolved as an effective strategy to solve the puzzle.Herein,a single source hyperbranched polyborosi-lazane precursor containing hafnium(hb-PBSZ-Hf)is introduced and the SiBCNHf ceramic is obtained by further pyrolysis.The micro-sized tissues including HfC,SiC,HfB 2 nanocrystals and segregated carbons are in situ generated during annealing which not only increase EM wave absorption ability(minimum re-flection coefficient(RC_(min))is-56.71 dB with a thickness of 2.5 mm,effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)is 3.4 GHz),but also improve antioxidation property(less than 2 wt.%mass fluctuation at 1400℃in air).Theoretical simulation of complex permittivity suggests that SiBCNHf ceramic has an RC_(min)of less than-5 dB for the whole X-band even at 1100℃.Such SiBCNHf ceramic with superior high-temperature-resistance and antioxidation performance derived from single source precursors possesses great potential for EM wave absorbing coatings in high-temperature and harsh environments.

文摘Ceramic matrix composites(CMC)are widely utilized in high-temperature components of aero-engines for load-bearing and electromagnetic stealth synergy due to their superior toughening and designable electromagnetic properties.However,the design of ultra-broadband electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorp-tion at thin thicknesses(d<10 mm)has been difficult and focused,especially the design of metama-terial.Inspired by 3D printing technology and the structural characteristic of 2D CMC,this study inge-niously devised and proposed a novel carbon fiber gradient periodic structure in Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites to enhance the ultra-broadband EMW absorption properties at a wide temperature range.By optimizing the geometric structure parameters,the Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites with the carbon fiber gradient periodic structure have exhibited exceptional ultra-broadband EMW absorption properties at elevated tempera-tures and excellent mechanical performance.The composites have attained a minimum reflection loss(RLmin)of-30 dB and a high absorption efficiency of more than 84%,ranging from 9.3 to 40 GHz at a thickness of 9 mm.Due to the temperature insensitivity of discrete periodic structures,the composites can adapt to high temperatures up to 700℃.Additionally,compared to the Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites,the flexural strength and fracture toughness of the Al_(2)O_(3f)/SiOC composites with carbon fiber gradient peri-odic structure have significantly increased to 398 MPa and 15.6 MPa m1/2,respectively.This work breaks through the limitation of the design and fabrication of 3D periodic structures in CMC,creating a novel oxide-CMC with ultra-broadband EMW absorption properties at a wide temperature range and enhanced mechanical properties.

文摘With vigorous developments in nanotechnology,the elaborate regulation of microstructure shows attractive potential in the design of electromagnetic wave absorbers.Herein,a hierarchical porous structure and composite heterogeneous interface are constructed successfully to optimize the electromagnetic loss capacity.The macro–micro-synergistic graphene aerogel formed by the ice template‑assisted 3D printing strategy is cut by silicon carbide nanowires(SiC_(nws))grown in situ,while boron nitride(BN)interfacial structure is introduced on graphene nanoplates.The unique composite structure forces multiple scattering of incident EMWs,ensuring the combined effects of interfacial polarization,conduction networks,and magnetic-dielectric synergy.Therefore,the as-prepared composites present a minimum reflection loss value of−37.8 dB and a wide effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 9.2 GHz(from 8.8 to 18.0 GHz)at 2.5 mm.Besides,relying on the intrinsic high-temperature resistance of SiC_(nws) and BN,the EAB also remains above 5.0 GHz after annealing in air environment at 600℃ for 10 h.

文摘Defects-rich heterointerfaces integrated with adjustable crystalline phases and atom vacancies,as well as veiled dielectric-responsive character,are instrumental in electromagnetic dissipation.Conventional methods,however,constrain their delicate constructions.Herein,an innovative alternative is proposed:carrageenan-assistant cations-regulated(CACR)strategy,which induces a series of sulfides nanoparticles rooted in situ on the surface of carbon matrix.This unique configuration originates from strategic vacancy formation energy of sulfides and strong sulfides-carbon support interaction,benefiting the delicate construction of defects-rich heterostructures in M_(x)S_(y)/carbon composites(M-CAs).Impressively,these generated sulfur vacancies are firstly found to strengthen electron accumulation/consumption ability at heterointerfaces and,simultaneously,induct local asymmetry of electronic structure to evoke large dipole moment,ultimately leading to polarization coupling,i.e.,defect-type interfacial polarization.Such“Janus effect”(Janus effect means versatility,as in the Greek two-headed Janus)of interfacial sulfur vacancies is intuitively confirmed by both theoretical and experimental investigations for the first time.Consequently,the sulfur vacancies-rich heterostructured Co/Ni-CAs displays broad absorption bandwidth of 6.76 GHz at only 1.8 mm,compared to sulfur vacancies-free CAs without any dielectric response.Harnessing defects-rich heterostructures,this one-pot CACR strategy may steer the design and development of advanced nanomaterials,boosting functionality across diverse application domains beyond electromagnetic response.

文摘Developing effective strategies to regulate graphene’s conduction loss and polarization has become a key to expanding its application in the electromagnetic wave absorption(EMWA)field.Based on the unique energy band structure of graphene,regulating its bandgap and electrical properties by introducing heteroatoms is considered a feasible solution.Herein,metal-nitrogen doping reduced graphene oxide(M–N-RGO)was prepared by embedding a series of single metal atoms M–N_(4) sites(M=Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Zn,Nb,Cd,and Sn)in RGO using an N-coordination atom-assisted strategy.These composites had adjustable conductivity and polarization to optimize dielectric loss and impedance matching for efficient EMWA performance.The results showed that the minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of Fe–N-RGO reaches−74.05 dB(2.0 mm)and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB_(max))is 7.05 GHz(1.89 mm)even with a low filler loading of only 1 wt%.Combined with X-ray absorption spectra(XAFS),atomic force microscopy,and density functional theory calculation analysis,the Fe–N_(4) can be used as the polarization center to increase dipole polarization,interface polarization and defect-induced polarization due to d-p orbital hybridization and structural distortion.Moreover,electron migration within the Fe further leads to conduction loss,thereby synergistically promoting energy attenuation.This study demonstrates the effectiveness of metal-nitrogen doping in regulating the graphene′s dielectric properties,which provides an important basis for further investigation of the loss mechanism.

文摘Currently,the demand for electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials with specific functions and capable of withstanding harsh environments is becoming increasingly urgent.Multi-component interface engineering is considered an effective means to achieve high-efficiency EMW absorption.However,interface modulation engineering has not been fully discussed and has great potential in the field of EMW absorption.In this study,multi-component tin compound fiber composites based on carbon fiber(CF)substrate were prepared by electrospinning,hydrothermal synthesis,and high-temperature thermal reduction.By utilizing the different properties of different substances,rich heterogeneous interfaces are constructed.This effectively promotes charge transfer and enhances interfacial polarization and conduction loss.The prepared SnS/SnS_(2)/SnO_(2)/CF composites with abundant heterogeneous interfaces have and exhibit excellent EMW absorption properties at a loading of 50 wt%in epoxy resin.The minimum reflection loss(RL)is−46.74 dB and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth is 5.28 GHz.Moreover,SnS/SnS_(2)/SnO_(2)/CF epoxy composite coatings exhibited long-term corrosion resistance on Q235 steel surfaces.Therefore,this study provides an effective strategy for the design of high-efficiency EMW absorbing materials in complex and harsh environments.

文摘Gradient magnetic heterointerfaces have injected infinite vitality in optimizing impedance matching,adjusting dielectric/magnetic resonance and promoting electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption,but still exist a significant challenging in regulating local phase evolution.Herein,accordion-shaped Co/Co_(3)O_(4)@N-doped carbon nanosheets(Co/Co_(3)O_(4)@NC)with gradient magnetic heterointerfaces have been fabricated via the cooperative high-temperature carbonization and lowtemperature oxidation process.The results indicate that the surface epitaxial growth of crystal Co_(3)O_(4) domains on local Co nanoparticles realizes the adjustment of magnetic-heteroatomic components,which are beneficial for optimizing impedance matching and interfacial polarization.Moreover,gradient magnetic heterointerfaces simultaneously realize magnetic coupling,and long-range magnetic diffraction.Specifically,the synthesized Co/Co_(3)O_(4)@NC absorbents display the strong electromagnetic wave attenuation capability of−53.5 dB at a thickness of 3.0 mm with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.36 GHz,both are superior to those of single magnetic domains embedded in carbon matrix.This design concept provides us an inspiration in optimizing interfacial polarization,regulating magnetic coupling and promoting electromagnetic wave absorption.

文摘Reasonable manipulation of component and microstructure is considered as a potential route to realize high-performance microwave absorber.In this paper,micro-sized hexapod-like CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) composites were synthesized via a facile approach involving the solvothermal method and subsequent sulfuration treatment.The resultant CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) exhibited superb microwave absorbing capacity with a minimum reflection loss(RLmin)of-59.38 dB at 2.7 mm.The maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EABmax)was 7.44 GHz(10.56-18 GHz)when the thickness was reduced to 2.3 mm.The outstanding microwave absorbing ability of CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) composites is mainly related to its unique hexapod shape and the formation of heterogeneous interfaces.The unique hexapod shape significantly promotes the multi-reflection of the incident electromagnetic wave(EMW)increasing the attenuation path of EMWs in the material.Hetero-geneous interfaces between CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) enable powerful interface polarization,contributing to the atten-uation of EMWs propagating in the medium.In addition,the EMW absorption performance of CuS/Cu_(9)S_(5) composites is also inseparable from the conduction loss.This study provides a strong reference for the research of EMW absorbent materials based on transition metal sulfides.

文摘The morphological distribution of absorbent in composites is equally important with absorbents for the overall electromagnetic properties,but it is often ignored.Herein,a comprehensive consideration including electromagnetic component regulation,layered arrangement structure,and gradient concentration distribution was used to optimize impedance matching and enhance electromagnetic loss.On the microscale,the incorporation of magnetic Ni nanoparticles into MXene nanosheets(Ni@MXene)endows suitable intrinsic permittivity and permeability.On the macroscale,the layered arrangement of Ni@MXene increases the effective interaction area with electromagnetic waves,inducing multiple reflection/scattering effects.On this basis,according to the analysis of absorption,reflection,and transmission(A-R-T)power coefficients of layered composites,the gradient concentration distribution was constructed to realize the impedance matching at low-concentration surface layer,electromagnetic loss at middle concentration interlayer and microwave reflection at high-concentration bottom layer.Consequently,the layered gradient composite(LG5-10-15)achieves complete absorption coverage of X-band at thickness of 2.00-2.20 mm with RL_(min) of-68.67 dB at 9.85 GHz in 2.05 mm,which is 199.0%,12.6%,and 50.6%higher than non-layered,layered and layered descending gradient composites,respectively.Therefore,this work confirms the importance of layered gradient structure in improving absorption performance and broadens the design of high-performance microwave absorption materials.

文摘Non-stoichiometric carbides have been proven to be effective electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials.In this study,phase and morphology of XZnC(X=Fe/Co/Cu)loaded on a three dimensional(3D)network structure melamine sponge(MS)carbon composites were investigated through vacuum filtration followed by calcination.The FeZnC/CoZnC/CuZnC with carbon nanotubes(CNTs)were uniformly dispersed on the surface of melamine sponge carbon skeleton and Co-containing sample exhibits the highest CNTs concentration.The minimum reflection loss(RL_(min))of the CoZnC/MS composite(m_(composite):m_(paraffin)=1:1,m represents mass)reached-33.60 dB,and the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)reached 9.60 GHz.The outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption(EMWA)properties of the CoZnC/MS composite can be attributed to its unique hollow structure,which leads to multiple reflections and scattering.The formed conductive network improves dielectric and conductive loss.The incorporation of Co enhances the magnetic loss capability and optimizes interfacial polarization and dipole polarization.By simultaneously improving dielectric and magnetic losses,ex-cellent impedance matching performance is achieved.The clarification of element replacement in XZnC/MS composites provides an effi-cient design perspective for high-performance non-stoichiometric carbide EMW absorbers.

文摘To realize the application of electromagnetic wave absorption(EWA)devices in humid marine environments,bifunctional EWA materials with better EWA capacities and anticorrosion properties have great exploration significance and systematic research re-quirements.By utilizing the low-cost and excellent magnetic and stable chemical characteristics of barium ferrite(BaFe_(12)O_(19))and using the high dielectric loss and excellent chemical inertia of nanocarbon clusters,a new type of nanocomposites with carbon nanoclusters en-capsulating BaFe_(12)O_(19)was designed and synthesized by combining an impregnation method and a high-temperature calcination strategy.Furthermore,Ce-Mn ions were introduced into the BaFe_(12)O_(19)lattice to improve the dielectric and magnetic properties of BaFe_(12)O_(19)cores significantly,and the energy band structure of the doped lattice and the orders of Ce replacing Fe sites were calculated.Benefiting from Ce-Mn ion doping and carbon nanocluster encapsulation,the composite material exhibited excellent dual functionality of corrosion resist-ance and EWA.When BaCe_(0.2)Mn_(0.3)Fe_(11.5)O_(19)-C(BCM-C)was calcined at 600°C,the minimum reflection loss of-20.1 dB was achieved at 14.43 GHz.The Ku band’s effective absorption bandwidth of 4.25 GHz was achieved at an absorber thickness of only 1.3 mm.The BCM-C/polydimethylsiloxane coating had excellent corrosion resistance in the simulated marine environment(3.5wt%NaCl solution).The|Z|0.01Hz value of BCM-C remained at 106Ω·cm^(2)after 12 soaking days.The successful preparation of the BaFe_(12)O_(19)composite en-capsulated with carbon nanoclusters provides new insights into the preparation of multifunctional absorbent materials and the fabrication of absorbent devices applied in humid marine environments in the future.

文摘Directional three-dimensional carbon-based foams are emerging as highly attractive candidates for promising electromagnetic wave absorbing materials(EWAMs)thanks to their unique architecture,but their construction usually involves complex procedures and extremely depends on unidirectional freezing technique.Herein,we propose a groundbreaking approach that leverages the assemblies of salting-out protein induced by ammonium metatungstate(AM)as the precursor,and then acquire directional three-dimensional carbon-based foams through simple pyrolysis.The electrostatic interaction between AM and protein ensures well dispersion of WC_(1−x)nanoparticles on carbon frameworks.The content of WC_(1−x)nanoparticles can be rationally regulated by AM dosage,and it also affects the electromagnetic(EM)properties of final carbon-based foams.The optimized foam exhibits exceptional EM absorption performance,achieving a remarkable minimum reflection loss of−72.0 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.3 GHz when EM wave propagates parallel to the directional pores.Such performance benefits from the synergistic effects of macroporous architecture and compositional design.Although there is a directional dependence of EM absorption,radar stealth simulation demonstrates that these foams can still promise considerable reduction in radar cross section with the change of incident angle.Moreover,COMSOL simulation further identifies their good performance in preventing EM interference among different electronic components.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have been widely applied in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption(EMWA)on account of unique morphology,simple fabrication,and ultra-high porosity.Nevertheless,the facile method of protecting its structure from being destroyed remains challenging.Herein,we proposed a hydrothermal method combined with a carbonization strategy to construct the 0D/1D/2D Fe_(3)C@NC@Mo_(2)C/Fe_(3)C composites.Owing to the incorporation of polydopamine(PDA),the carbon shell formed during high-temperature carbonization effectively protected the original MIL-88A rod-like structure,and the 2D Mo_(2)C nano-sheets and 1D Fe_(3)C nanoparticles were coated on the surface of 1D Fe_(3)C nanorods.With the increase in carbonization temperature,the EMWA properties of the composites presented a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.Impressively,the composites(at 750℃)exhibited praiseworthy EMWA performances with a minimum reflection loss value of−43.70 dB at 8.00 GHz,alongside a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 6.08 GHz(11.20-17.28 GHz).Density functional theory calculations confirmed the distinctive charge distribution resulting from the heterointerface,which is beneficial to the polarization loss and conductive loss.As a result,the outstanding EMWA performance was credited to the distinctive hierarchical structure,appropriate impedance matching,numerous heterogeneous interfaces,and magnetic loss.Moreover,Radar cross-section calculations indicated that the composites have tremendous potential for practical application.Thus,this work may pave new avenues for designing high-performance and structure-controllable absorbing materials.

文摘Ultra-wide absorption band and flexibility are needed in multi-scenario applications,however,current electromagnetic wave absorption materials(EMWAMs)are not capable enough to deliver due to rigid structure.Here,we have designed a porous flexible mat composed of Zn-doped carbon(Zn@C)nanofibers(NFs)having encapsulated uniformly dispersed FeCo nanoparticles(NPs)(FeCo/Zn@C)as ultra-wideband absorber.During the electrospinning,the Fe^(3+),Co^(2+)and Zn^(2+)are uniformly immobilized within the NFs nanocrystallization process.Subsequently,the Kirkendall effect is deployed to trigger the generation of FeCo NPs and porous framework under thermal annealing.The FeCo/Zn@C NFs effectively favor magnetic-dielectric synergies due to the coexistence of magnetic FeCo NPs and dielectric carbon components.One-dimensional porous fiber prolongs the attenuation path and enhances multi-scattering and reflection.While the FeCo NPs encapsulated in Zn-doped carbon NFs provide abundant dipole and interfacial polarization.These favorable factors synergistically enhance absorption performance,resulting in a reflection loss value of-71.58 dB.Moreover,by varying the thickness of absorbers,effective absorption bandwidth spans from 4.26 to 18.00 GHz.Hence,this work offers innovative insights for fabricating advanced EMWAMs.

文摘W-type barium-nickel ferrite(BaNi_(2)Fe_(16)O_(27))is a highly promising material for electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption be-cause of its magnetic loss capability for EMW,low cost,large-scale production potential,high-temperature resistance,and excellent chemical stability.However,the poor dielectric loss of magnetic ferrites hampers their utilization,hindering enhancement in their EMW-absorption performance.Developing efficient strategies that improve the EMW-absorption performance of ferrite is highly desired but re-mains challenging.Here,an efficient strategy substituting Ba^(2+)with rare earth La^(3+)in W-type ferrite was proposed for the preparation of novel La-substituted ferrites(Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)).The influences of La^(3+)substitution on ferrites’EMW-absorption performance and the dissipative mechanism toward EMW were systematically explored and discussed.La^(3+)efficiently induced lattice defects,enhanced defect-induced polarization,and slightly reduced the ferrites’bandgap,enhancing the dielectric properties of the ferrites.La^(3+)also enhanced the ferromagnetic resonance loss and strengthened magnetic properties.These effects considerably improved the EMW-absorption perform-ance of Ba_(1-x)LaxNi_(2)Fe_(15.4)O_(27)compared with pure W-type ferrites.When x=0.2,the best EMW-absorption performance was achieved with a minimum reflection loss of-55.6 dB and effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 3.44 GHz.

文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have attracted significant interest as self-templates and precursors for the synthesis of carbon-based composites aimed at electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption.However,the utilization of high-temperature treatments has introduced uncertainties regarding the compositions and microstructures of resulting derivatives.Additionally,complete carbonization has led to diminished yields of the produced carbon composites,significantly limiting their practical applications.Consequently,the exploration of pristine MOF-based EMW absorbers presents an intriguing yet challenging endeavor,primarily due to inherently low electrical conductivity.In this study,we showcase the utilization of structurally robust Zr-MOFs as scaffolds to build highly conductive Zr-MOF/PPy composites via an inner-outer dual-modification approach,which involves the production of conducting polypyrrole(PPy)both within the confined nanoporous channels and the external surface of Zr-MOFs via post-synthetic modification.The interconnection of confined PPy and surface-lined PPy together leads to a consecutive and extensive conducting network to the maximum extent.This therefore entails outstanding conductivity up to~14.3 S cm^(-1) in Zr-MOF/PPy composites,which is approximately 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than that for conductive MOF nanocomposites constructed from either inner or outer modification.Benefiting from the strong and tunable conduction loss,as well as the induced dielectric polarization originated from the porous structures and MOF-polymer interfaces,Zr-MOF/PPy exhibits excellent microwave attenuation capabilities and a tunable absorption frequency range.Specifically,with only 15 wt.%loading,the minimum reflection loss(RLmin)can reach up to-67.4 dB,accompanied by an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)extending to 6.74 GHz.Furthermore,the microwave absorption characteristics can be tailored from the C-band to the Ku-band by adjusting the loading of PPy.This work provides valuable insights into the fabrication of conductive MOF composites by presenting a straightforward pathway to enhance and reg-ulate electrical conduction in MOF-based nanocomposites,thus paving a way to facilely fabricate pristine MOF-based microwave absorbers.
