Abstract
Achieving low-frequency broadband electromagnetic wave absorption in extreme environments over 2000 °C is challenging. Biomimetic hierarchy materials of high entropy lanthanide carbides were designed to optimize electromagnetic wave absorption. Composite microspheres of (Hf0.2Zr0.2Ti0.2Ce0.2La0.2)C1-δ and SiC embedded in pyrolytic carbon (MC/PyC) were prepared by using the electro-spray method followed by heat treatment. The specimens of MC/PyC microspheres with a thickness of 2.5 mm exhibited a minimum reflection loss value of − 48.9 dB, and electromagnetic wave absorption from 4.0 GHz to 17 GHz. The enhanced absorption capability is attributed to the synergistic effect of dielectric losses from conduction and polarization, along with magnetic losses due to eddy currents and natural resonance of the high-entropy carbides within the multiscale pores. The composition and featured microstructure MC/PyC microspheres were noteworthily stable under the 2200 °C oxyacetylene ablation, ensuring consistent high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption even in harsh conditions.
