To tackle the challenges of multi-spectral reconnaissance technology, a pioneering anti-reconnaissance device that integrates visible-light, hyperspectral, and microwave radar functionalities has been developed for the first time. By oxidative polymerization method to create a core–shell Fe3O4@polyaniline composite material for the counter electrode. This design optimized impedance matching, achieving wideband radar wave absorption up to 10.5 GHz (reflection loss < -10 dB). The core–shell structure enhanced specific surface area, improving charge exchange and electrochemical performance to meet stringent counter electrode requirements. And, constructed a frequency-selective metal electrode based on metamaterial principles, complementing the radar wave absorption capabilities of the counter electrode material. Additionally, synthesized an asymmetric viologen molecule as the working electrode, mimicking vegetation color transitions from green to yellow while preserving hyperspectral characteristics and radar wave absorption properties. To enhance hyperspectral compatibility without compromising radar wave absorption or color dynamics, we developed a cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol/hydroxyethyl cellulose film based on biomimetic principles. The device can switch between yellow and green under voltages of 0 or −1.2 V, with both states exhibiting a spectral similarity to foliage exceeding 0.95 and an effective bandwidth reaching 13.44 GHz. The integration of these three functionalities allows the device to operate independently without interference.

Graphene Monolayer Nanomesh Structures and Their Applications in Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting for Solving the Matching Conundrum of Rectennas.

In this paper, we investigate various graphene monolayer nanomesh structures (diodes) formed only by nanoholes, with a diameter of just 20 nm and etched from the graphene layer in different shapes (such as rhombus, bow tie, rectangle, trapezoid, and triangle), and their electrical properties targeting electromagnetic energy harvesting applications.

Lightweight carbon fiber aerogel@hollow carbon/Co3O4 microsphere for broadband electromagnetic wave absorption in X and Ku bands

The increasing proliferation of modern communications, radar systems, and military equipment operating in the X and Ku bands (8–18 GHz) has exacerbated the issue of electromagnetic wave (EMW) pollution, highlighting the urgent need for lightweight, broadband EMW-absorbing materials. In this paper, the lightweight carbon fiber aerogel@hollow carbon/Co3O4 microsphere (CFA@H–C/Co3O4) were composed by ZIF-67 derived hollow carbon/Co3O4 microsphere and bamboo cellulose fiber derived carbon fiber aerogels and constructed by in-situ chemical deposition, dopamine treatment and pyrolysis. Carbon fiber aerogels form a lightweight three-dimensional (3D) interconnected conductive network, which expands the multiple reflection and absorption paths of EMW and increases the dielectric loss. The hollow carbon/Co3O4 microsphere inhibits the collapse of the structure by forming a polydopamine shell through the self-polymerization effect of dopamine on the surface of ZIF-67 during pyrolysis, showing dipole polarization loss, interface polarization loss and magnetic loss, which plays an important role in improving EMW polarization loss and optimizing impedance matching. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of CFA@H–C/Co3O4 reaches −43.5 dB at frequency of 12.88 GHz with thickness of 3.0 mm and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of CFA@H–C/Co3O4 reaches 7.84 GHz (10.08–17.92 GHz) with thickness of 3.0 mm, covering most of X and Ku bands at a low filling ratio of 15 wt%. The radar cross-section (RCS) value of CFA@H–C/Co3O4 is 22.68 dB m2 lower than the perfect electrical conductor (PEC). This study provides valuable insights into materials that can improve the absorption bandwidth of electromagnetic waves in the X and KU bands.

To enhance the survivability of military aircraft in electromagnetic warfare, carbon fiber/nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (CF/NiFe-LDH) composites with heterogeneous structure were constructed starting from the raw industrial carbon fiber (CF) by electrostatic self-assembly. By reasonably adjusting the mass ratio of CF and NiFe-LDH, the voids formed by LDH arrays stacked on the fiber surface are utilized to promote reflection and scattering of electromagnetic wave (EMW), optimizing impedance matching, as well as synergize dielectric-magnetic dual loss mechanism. Moreover, interfacial polarization effect induced by the abundant heterogeneous interfaces significantly enhance the ability of EMW dissipation. The optimized CF/NiFe-LDH heterostructure composite exhibits the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of −52.48 dB at mere 1.77 mm thickness and an expansive maximum effective bandwidth (EABmax) of 7.29 GHz at 2.14 mm. In addition, the computer simulation technology (CST) revealed that the radar scattering cross section (RCS) reduction of composites reaches up to 26.92 dBm2 at an incidence angle of 90°, demonstrating their excellent radar attenuation capability. Tremendously, the heterogeneous composites achieve an SRL1 value of 524.8, which is appreciably better than most of the EMW absorbing materials. The wondrous characteristics including lightweight, ultra-thin, high-efficient microwave absorbing ability of CF/NiFe-LDH heterostructure composites display potential application in fighter aircraft.

Graphene/carbon nanotube aerogels with ultralow filling ratio through perfect cross-linking interface for efficient microwave absorption

Utilizing high-efficiency electrostatic assembly and a scalable freeze-drying technique followed by carbonization, we have developed a series of unique, lightweight, hierarchically porous 1D+2D aerogels containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). By manipulating the interaction between CNTs and graphene oxide perjurer in cellulose nanofiber (CNF), CNTs can uniformly distribute along the graphene cell walls via an exceptional cross-linking interface in the resultant rGO/CNT aerogels. This arrangement enables abundant heterogeneous interfaces, endowing the aerogels with high conductivity and polarization loss capacity. Moreover, the 1D+2D microstructure of CNT/rGO and the hierarchical pore architecture of the aerogels facilitate multiple scattering, further enhancing their loss capacity toward electromagnetic wave absorption (EMW). Coupled with the optimized impedance matching derived from the adjustable dielectric properties, the aerogels exhibit outstanding EMW absorption with a filling ratio of merely 2 wt%. Specifically, a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −49.61 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.16 GHz are achieved. With a filling ratio of 3 wt%, the RLmin reaches −77.51 dB, accompanied by an EAB of 3.84 GHz, surpassing the reported carbon or graphene-based aerogel EMW absorbers. In this work, the ultra-low filling ratio resulting from high conductivity confers a practical design for fabricating lightweight carbon-based aerogels suitable for high-efficiency EMW absorption, manifesting multiple applications in electromagnetic compatibility and aerospace contexts.

Construction of polymer-derived double transition metal compound/carbon matrix nanocomposites for efficient electromagnetic wave absorber

As typical dielectric materials, transition metal compounds have a broad potential in the field of stealth, but their application is still hampered by poor conductivity. In this study, based on the mechanism of electrostatic self-assembly of heteropolyacids and organic ligands, the electrostatic structures obtained after the introduction of different heteropolyacids into the conductive phase pyrrole are carbonized. On the one hand, the as-prepared transition metal compounds/carbon matrix nanocomposites produce synergistic effects and optimize impedance matching, and on the other hand, the formation of the abundant heterogeneous interfaces as well as the doping of the N, P heteroatoms induce the generation of interfacial polarisation and dipole polarisation, all of which provide the opportunities to produce composites with enhanced electromagnetic wave absorption properties. Unsurprisingly, the best synthesised sample, Mo2C/W2C/NPC, exhibits a significantly improved electromagnetic wave absorption performance, with an effective bandwidth of 5.7 GHz at a matched thickness of 2.5 mm, where the minimum reflection loss value of −54.5 dB is also achieved. The total effective bandwidth of the Mo2C/W2C/NPC-35 wt% is up to 10.5 GHz (7.3–17.8 GHz) via adjusting the matching thickness in the range of 1.7–3.5 mm. Therefore, this study reflects that dual transition metal compound/carbon based composite wave-absorbing materials provide a new material basis for the construction of high-performance absorption materials.

The synergistic effect of magnetic loss and dielectric loss, as well as the reasonable construction of microstructure, have a significant effect on improving the absorption performance of electromagnetic wave absorbers. In this paper, N-doping Co@ carbon nanotubes (NCC) composites are successfully grown in situ on cobalt particles using a cobalt source as a catalyst. The metal particle Co is encapsulated within the carbon nanotubes and N is doped in the carbon lattice. This special structure introduces a large number of heterogeneous interfaces and defects, leading to optimized impedance matching and strong electromagnetic attenuation. The results showed that the minimum reflection loss is −69.33 dB for NCC800-1 with a thickness of 1.6 mm, and NCC900-4 possesses the widest effective absorption bandwidth of 7.70 GHz at a thickness of 2.1 mm with other NCC composites. Furthermore, the radar scattering cross section simulation results confirm that the prepared absorbing coatings can well suppress radar waves in different directions. The outstanding absorption performance is attributed to the defects and heterogeneous interfaces in the cobalt-catalyzed carbon nanofibers, the conductive network formed by carbon fibers, and the synergistic effects of magnetic and dielectric losses. This work presents a novel engineering approach for synthesizing absorbers with multiple loss mechanisms and heterogeneous structures, offering a promising pathway for the development of high-performance electromagnetic wave absorbing materials.

The complex core–shell structure high-entropy composites provided multiple dissipation mechanisms for efficient dissipation of incident electromagnetic wave energy. The implanting MoSe2 nanosheets optimized the dielectric constant of the composites, thus ensuring optimal impedance matching. The HCS@MoSe2-1 composites exhibit excellent EMA properties and a significant minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −56.19 dB. And HCS@MoSe2-1 had an ultra-wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.43 GHz. The significant EMA capability attributed to the synergistic effects of conductive loss, polarization loss, and optimized impedance matching.

Facile and precise synthesis of core-shell ZnO/C nanorods with excellent microwave absorption

Carbonaceous materials have great prospects in microwave absorption due to their lightweight and corrosion resistance. However, their high conductivity leads to poor impedance matching, posing a significant challenge for obtaining outstanding microwave absorption (MA) materials from carbonaceous materials. In this work, the core-shell ZnO/C nanorods (ZCNs) are prepared by covering conductive carbon on the surface of ZnO nanorods through a simple stirring process in ambient temperature and calcination treatment. The thickness of carbon shell is carefully regulated to realize appropriate impedance matching and strong microwave dissipation capability. ZCN with 30.2 nm of carbon shell achieves outstanding microwave absorption in low frequency and broadband microwave absorption because of the synergies of optimized impedance matching and enhanced dielectric loss: the reflection loss of 49.9 dB at 6.32 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth of 6.4 GHz at a corresponding thickness of 2.0 mm. RCS simulation results have verified its excellent performance in practical application. This study proposes a simple and effective idea for the efficient utilization of carbonaceous materials in microwave absorption.

Novel cable‐like tin@carbon whiskers derived from the Ti2SnC MAX phase for ultra‐wideband electromagnetic wave absorption

AbstractOne‐dimensional (1D) metals are well known for their exceptional conductivity and their ease of formation of interconnected networks that facilitate electron migration, making them promising candidates for electromagnetic (EM) attenuation. However, the impedance mismatch from high conductivity and their singular mode of energy loss hinder effective EM wave dissipation. Construction of cable structures not only optimizes impedance matching but also introduces a multitude of heterojunctions, increasing attenuation modes and potentially enhancing EM wave absorption (EMA) performance. Herein, we showcase the scalable synthesis of tin (Sn) whiskers from a Ti2SnC MAX phase precursor, followed by creation of a 1D tin@carbon (Sn@C) cable structure through polymerization of PDA on their surface and annealing in argon. The EMA capabilities of Sn@C significantly surpass those of uncoated Sn whiskers, with an effective absorption bandwidth reaching 7.4 GHz. Remarkably, its maximum radar cross section reduction value of 27.85 dB m2 indicates its exceptional stealth capabilities. The enhanced EMA performance is first attributed to optimized impedance matching, and furthermore, the Sn@C cable structures have rich SnO2/C and Sn/SnO2 heterointerfaces and the associated defects, which increase interfacial and defect‐induced polarization losses, as visually demonstrated by off‐axis electron holography. The development of the Sn@C cable structure represents a notable advancement in broadening the scope of materials with potential applications in stealth technology, and this study also contributes to the understanding of how heterojunctions can improve EMA performance.

Preparation of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/zinc ferrite@nitrogen-doped carbon composite for broadband and highly efficient electromagnetic wave absorption

Traditionally reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-based electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials have poor absorption effectiveness due to impedance mismatch caused by skin effect. The introduction of structural defects and the design of heterogeneous interfaces play a crucial role in enhancing the polarization effect of EMW absorbers. In this study, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide/zinc ferrite@nitrogen-doped carbon (NRGO/ZnFe2O4@NC) ternary composite with rich heterogeneous interfaces is constructed by combining solvothermal reaction, in-situ polymerization, annealing treatment with subsequent hydrothermal reaction. The research results have shown that the obtained NRGO/ZnFe2O4@NC ternary composite exhibits a unique core-shell structure and excellent EMW absorption performance. At a thickness of 2.61 mm, the maximum effective absorption bandwidth can reach 7.2 GHz, spanning the entire Ku-band and a portion of the X-band, and the minimum reflection loss is –61.1 dB, which is superior to most reported RGO-based EMW absorbers. The excellent EMW absorbing ability is mainly ascribed to the optimized impedance matching and the enhanced polarization loss caused by the abundant heterogeneous interfaces and structural defects derived from heteroatomic nitrogen doping. Furthermore, the radar cross section in the far field is simulated by a computer simulation technique. This study provides a novel way to prepare core-shell magnetic carbon composites as highly efficient and broadband EMW absorbers.

Herein, a combined metal-organic frameworks-derived and hydrothermal strategy was presented to produce yolk-shell structure (YSS) CoNi@Air@C@MoS2 MCCs. The results showed that the thermal and hydrothermal treatments resulted in the generation of YSS and two-dimensional MoS2 nanosheets, which maintained the original morphology of CoNi Prussian blue analogues. The protection of thick C layer well inhibited the vulcanization of inner CoNi alloy. The formed sheet-like MoS2 further optimized impedance matching characteristics, which led to the satisfactory EMWAPs of CoNi@Air@C@MoS2 MCCs. Furthermore, the EMWAPs could be further improved by optimizing the Ni:Co atom ratios CoNi@Air@C@MoS2 MCCs, which stemmed from their boosted impedance matching performances, EMW attention and polarization loss abilities. The absorption bandwidth and reflection loss values for YSS CoNi@Air@C@MoS2 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@MoS2 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.
