1e:T51d,Composites incorporating ferromagnetic metal nanopartices into a highly porous carbon matrix are promising as electromagnetic wave absorption materials. Such special composite nanomaterials are potentially prepared by the thermal decomposition of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials under controlled atmospheres. In this study, using Co-based MOFs (Co-MOF, ZIF-67) as an example, the feasibility of this synthetic strategy was demonstrated by the successful fabrication of porous Co/C composite nanomaterials. The atmosphere and temperature for the thermal decomposition of MOF precursors were crucial factors for the formation of the ferromagnetic metal nanopartices and carbon matrix in the porous Co/C composites. Among the three Co/C composites obtained at different temperatures, Co/C-500 obtained at 500 °C exhibited the best performance for electromagnetic wave absorption. In particular, the maximum reflection loss (RL) of Co/C-500 reached -35.3 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth (RL ≤ -10 dB) was 5.80 GHz (8.40 GHz-14.20 GHz) corresponding to an absorber thickness of 2.5 mm. Such excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties are ascribed to the synergetic effects between the highly porous structure and multiple components, which significantly improved impedance matching.1f:T546,Materials with an ultralow density and ultrahigh electromagnetic-interference (EMI)-shielding performance are highly desirable in fields of aerospace, portable electronics, and so on. Theoretical work predicts that 3D carbon nanotube (CNT)/graphene hybrids are one of the most promising lightweight EMI shielding materials, owing to their unique nanostructures and extraordinary electronic properties. Herein, for the first time, a lightweight, flexible, and conductive CNT-multilayered graphene edge plane (MLGEP) core-shell hybrid foam is fabricated using chemical vapor deposition. MLGEPs are seamlessly grown on the CNTs, and the hybrid foam exhibits excellent EMI shielding effectiveness which exceeds 38.4 or 47.5 dB in X-band at 1.6 mm, while the density is merely 0.0058 or 0.0089 g cm^-3 , respectively, which far surpasses the best values of reported carbon-based composite materials. The grafted MLGEPs on CNTs can obviously enhance the penetration losses of microwaves in foams, leading to a greatly improved EMI shielding performance. In addition, the CNT-MLGEP hybrids also exhibit a great potential as nano-reinforcements for fabricating high-strength polymer-based composites. The results provide an alternative approach to fully explore the potentials of CNT and graphene, for developing advanced multifunctional materials.20:T4b1,Microwave absorbers with layered structures that can provide abundant interfaces are highly desirable for enhancing electromagnetic absorbing capability and decreasing the thickness. The atomically thin layers of two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides (MXenes) make them a convenient precursor for synthesis of other 2D and layered structures. Here, laminated carbon/TiO₂ hybrid materials composed of well-aligned 2D carbon sheets with embedded TiO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized and showed excellent microwave absorption. Disordered 2D carbon layers with an unusual structure were obtained by annealing multilayer Ti₃C₂ MXene in a CO₂ atmosphere. The minimum reflection coefficient of laminated carbon/TiO₂ composites reaches -36 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth ranges from 3.6 to 18 GHz with the tunable thickness from 1.7 to 5 mm. The effective absorption bandwidth covers the whole Ku band (12.4-18 GHz) when the thickness of carbon/TiO₂/paraffin composite is 1.7 mm. This study is expected to pave the way to the synthesis of carbon-supported absorbing materials using a large family of 2D carbides.21:T458,Graphene has shown great potential in microwave absorption (MA) owing to its high surface area, low density, tunable electrical conductivity and good chemical stability.
