Abstract
Since biomass-derived carbon materials possess the advantages of peculiar morphology and low density. They have received significant attention on microwave absorption materials. We synthesize a one-dimensional hollow FeCo/carbon microtubule (FeCo/CMT) derived from homogeneous kapok fiber using a feasible solvothermal method and calcination process. The graphitization degree and magnetic properties of FeCo/CMT could be controlled by manipulating the calcination temperature. The FeCo/CMT composite with the calcination temperature of 600 °C demonstrated exceptional microwave absorption performance, characterized by strong absorption (−50.6 dB), broadband absorption (12.4–18.0 GHz), thin thickness (2.5 mm), and low loading (10 wt%). The hollow structure, interfacial polarization, and the synergistic effect between FeCo and CMT collectively account for the microwave absorption mechanisms. Considering its outstanding comprehensive characteristics and performance, the biomass-derived hollow FeCo/CMT shows great potential for widespread application as a high-performance microwave absorption material.
