Microstructures, magnetic properties and microwave absorption of ion-implanted bismuth ferrite thin films

This study investigates the properties and performance of bismuth ferrite thin films on Kapton sheets as electromagnetic (EM) wave-absorbing materials. The main techniques employed in this study involved modifying the surface geometry and using electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials as surface coatings. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a cubic crystal structure of the bismuth ferrite thin films. The bonding analysis showed the presence of Bi–O and Fe–O functional groups at 432.26 and 519.48 cm−1, respectively. Vibrating-sample magnetometry revealed the ferromagnetic behavior of the bismuth ferrite thin film, confirming that saturation magnetization decreased with increasing sputtering time. Moreover, the calcination temperature affected the coercive field; the higher the calcination temperature, the higher the coercivity of the BiFeO3 (BFO) thin film layer. Scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy of the bismuth ferrite thin films revealed the presence of Bi, Fe, and O—evenly and homogeneously distributed on the Kapton surface. After the ion implantation process, the atomic force microscopy test results showed an increased root-mean-square roughness (Rq). The root-mean-square roughness value for Kapton before the process was approximately 7.5 nm, while the root-mean-square roughness values for BFO 10 min and BFO 12.5 min were approximately 18.8 nm and 25.3 nm, respectively. The microwave absorption ability reached a maximum reflection loss value of − 40.4 dB (99.9 %) in the range of 9.98 GHz with a sputtering duration of 10 min. Therefore, these results suggest bismuth ferrite is a potential candidate as an EM wave absorber.

Production of Lignin-Derived Functional Material for Efficient Electromagnetic Wave Absorption with an Ultralow Filler Ratio.

Industrial lignin, a by-product of pulping for papermaking fibers or of second-generation ethanol production, is primarily served as a low-grade combustible energy source. The fabrication of high-value-added functional materials with industrial lignin is still a challenge. Herein, a three-dimensional hierarchical lignin-derived porous carbon (HLPC) was prepared with lignosulfonate as the carbon source and MgCO3 as the template. The uniform mixing of precursor and template agent resulted in the construction of a three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure. HLPC presented excellent electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance. With a low filler content of 7 wt%, HLPC showed a minimum reflection loss (RL) value of -41.8 dB (1.7 mm, 13.8 GHz), and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.53 GHz (1.6 mm). In addition, the enhancement mechanism of HLPC for EMW absorption was also explored through comparing the morphology and electromagnetic parameters of lignin-derived carbon (LC) and lignin-derived porous carbon (LPC). The three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure endowed the carbon with a high pore volume, resulting in an abundant gas-solid interface between air and carbon for interfacial polarization. This structure also provided conductive networks for conduction loss. This work offers a strategy to synthesize biomass-based carbon for high-performance EMW absorption.

Effect of Sm doping on structure, dielectric properties and microwave absorption performance of SrMnO3

In this work, Sr1-xSmxMnO3(x = 0,0.5) powders were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The effects of Sm doping on structure, electromagnetic properties and microwave absorption performance of SrMnO3 were systematically investigated by experimental characterizations and first-principles calculations. It is found that the doping of Sm transforms the hexagonal structure P63/mmc of SrMnO3(SMO) into an orthorhombic phase Pnma of Sr0.5Sm0.5MnO3 (SSMO) at room temperature. Sm doping and the increase of Mn3+ content induce the lattice distortion, resulting in octahedral torsion and the Mn–O–Mn bond angle towards 180°. Furthermore, doping introduces additional oxygen vacancies and defects in SMO, significantly enhancing various polarizations within the system. As a result, there is a substantial improvement in the microwave absorption capability of the doped sample. Compared to undoped SMO, SSMO performs excellent microwave absorbing properties in the higher frequency band and the value of reflection loss has increased by 29.47 dB at the optimal matching thickness.

Tracking Regulatory Mechanism of Trace Fe on Graphene Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

HighlightsA carrier injection strategy is firstly proposed by designing Fe/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) heterogeneous interfacial material for giving full play to the dielectric dispersion properties of graphene.The electromagnetic wave absorption mechanisms mainly include enhanced conductance loss, dipole polarization and interfacial polarization.Outstanding reflection loss value (− 53.38 dB, 2.45 mm) and broadband wave absorption (7.52 GHz with only 2 wt% filling) of Fe/RGO composite were acquired, which is superior to single-component graphene.

Microwave absorption properties of oriented Sm2Fe14BHx/polyurethane with planar anisotropy

Realization of microwave-absorbing materials with “small thickness, light weight, broad bandwidth, and low reflectivity” is an invariable topic. In this paper, Sm2Fe14BHx/polyurethane (SFBH/PU) composites with planar anisotropy were prepared by reduction–diffusion (R/D) and water bath hydrogenation (WBH) process. A minimum reflection loss (RL) value reaches −59.7 dB at the perfect matching frequency of 13.79 GHz with a thickness of only 1.035 mm. Compared with unhydrogenated SFB, the bandwidth and reflectivity are significantly improved. It is mainly attributed to the fact that introduction of hydrogen atoms effectively modulates the electromagnetic parameters and increases the Snoek limit ((μi−1)fr), which leads to the improvement of the high-frequency microwave absorption performance. In addition, the bandwidth equation is derived and simplified from the perspective of the reflected wave at the interface, which is in good agreement with the measured results.

The Impact of Al3+ ion substitution on microwave absorption of hexaferrite compound Ba0.6Sr0.4Fe12−xAlxO19 (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00)

This paper discusses the impact of Al3+ ion substitution on Fe3+ ions in the hexaferrite compound Ba0.6Sr0.4Fe12−xAlxO19 on the reflection loss value and bandwidth in absorbing microwaves. Hexaferrite Ba0.6Sr0.4Fe12−xAlxO19 (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00) was synthesized by high-energy ball milling (HEBM) for forty hours, followed by sintering at 1000 °C in the air for five hours. Then, the crystal structure, formed phase, surface morphology, magnetization, and ability to absorb microwaves in the X-band region were successively characterized. All samples (x = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00) had a single phase with a hexagonal crystal structure. The particle size remained heterogeneous, ranging from 200 to 300 nm, with a platelet-like shape. The maximum amount of magnetic energy that could be absorbed by the material (Ms) increases from x = 0.25 to 0.75 and then decreases slightly for x = 1.00. The maximum value of reflection loss (RLmax) decreases as x increases. For x = 0.25, RLmax is − 16.17 dB (f = 11.06 GHz) with a bandwidth of 3.56 GHz, whereas for x = 1.0, RLmax is −13.94 dB (f = 11.14 GHz) with a bandwidth of 1.68 GHz.

Interfacial engineering of core–shell structured FeCoNi@SnO2 magnetic composites for tunable radar-infrared compatible stealth

Radar-Infrared (IR) compatible camouflage is challenging as the spectral requirements for two bands differ or even collide with each other. Hence, the development of compatible stealth materials is urgently needed. This study employed a simple method to synthesize core–shell FeCoNi@SnO2 composite materials (MCCMs) with different alloy and SnO2 thicknesses. The unique interfacial engineering, the synergistic effect between multiple components, and the low IR emissivity of SnO2 allow this material to excel in radar-IR compatible stealth. Notably, the electromagnetic (EM) parameters, microwave absorption (MA) capacity, and IR radiation characteristics can be tuned by adjusting the atomic ratios and outer layer thickness, resulting in excellent MA performance along with low IR emissivity. Thereinto, the product has an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.20 GHz at 1.20 mm and reflection loss (RL) of −53.54 dB at 5.80 GHz. The core–shell FeCoNi@SnO2 MCCM modified by the SnO2 layer can enhance the EAB and RL values to 8.12 GHz (1.61 mm) and −65.55 dB (11.08 GHz) due to the increased interface polarization. Furthermore, thanks to the strong IR reflection of the SnO2 layer, the obtained composites achieve an IR emissivity of approximately 0.50. This work provides a straightforward for developing radar-IR compatible stealth materials.

High-performance electromagnetic wave absorption in FeS2/SnS2@multi-walled carbon nanotube composites with honeycomb-shaped structure.

In this work, we synthesized composites of ferrous disulfide and tin disulfide with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using a straightforward hydrothermal method. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes significantly enhanced the dielectric loss capability of the composites. When the filling ratio of FeS2/SnS2@CNTs (20 wt%) in paraffin was 40%, the effective absorption bandwidth was 3.28 GHz, while the minimum reflection loss (RL) value was as high as -39.2 dB, which corresponded to a thickness of only 1.4 mm. This work reveals the potential research value of this material in terms of thin thickness, strong absorption and light mass.

One-step sintering construction of electromagnetic synergistic Co7Fe3/Co@CBC nanocomposites for enhanced microwave absorption properties.

Based on the synergistic modulation of electromagnetic parameters and microstructure design, multidimensional porous magnetic carbon-based nanocomposites have become ideal materials with efficient absorption properties. What's more, a carbon-magnetic alloy composite is a commonly used and efficient microwave absorber. In this paper, Co7Fe3/Co@CBC (CFCC) nanocomposites with strong magnetism, a three-phase composition, and a three-dimensional porous structure were synthesized by reducing Fe2+ and Co2+ using chestnut-shell biomass carbon (CBC). Biomass carbon with a higher specific surface area provides numerous active sites for Co7Fe3 nanosheets and Co nanospheres to form three-dimensional ping-pong chrysanthemum-like nanocomposites, which generate rich heterogeneous interfaces and conductive network structures. By adjusting the amount of added biomass, the electromagnetic parameters can be effectively regulated to achieve efficient microwave absorption properties. When the amount of biomass added varies within the range of 1.0 to 2.5 g, all samples exhibit a favorable effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of over 5.88 GHz. In particular, the CFCC-2.0 composite exhibits optimal microwave absorption properties, with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of -59.25 dB and an EAB of 6.34 GHz at a thickness of 2.8 mm. The simulation and modeling analysis results of radar cross section (RCS) further confirm the exceptional attenuation capability of composite materials at multiple incident angles. The exceptional microwave absorption properties and stability of EAB for the Co7Fe3/Co@CBC nanocomposite make it a promising candidate in the field of absorbing materials. This work also provides some feasible ideas for designing stable broadband wave-absorbing materials.

N-doped carbon layer cladded carbon sphere for broadband and boosted microwave attenuation capacity.

Structural construction and heteroatom doping are deemed effective strategies for designing a high-performance microwave absorbing composite to eliminate electromagnetic hazards. Herein, a series of core-shell structural carbon@N-doped carbon (C@NC) nanospheres were successfully fabricated without employing additional modifying agents and sophisticated operation. After incorporating them into a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix, the C@NC/PVDF composites possess tunable wave attenuation capacity obtained by regulating the coating layer thickness and filler loading. Benefitting from the design strategy of the core-shell structure and N-doped C, the C@NC-2/PVDF composites displayed the broadest effective absorption bandwidth of 6.29 GHz (11.71-18 GHz) under a filler content of only 10 wt% at 2.01 mm. Additionally, the minimum reflection loss value of C@NC-3/PVDF composites achieves -62.87 dB within the same mass ratio at a thickness of 2.35 mm. The excellent wave dissipation ability is attributed to the combination of optimized impedance matching and synergistically enhanced multiple loss mechanisms including conduction loss, interfacial polarization as well as dipolar polarization. This work offers a ponderable paradigm for the deeper exploitation of high-efficiency carbon absorbers.

The MOFs/COFs-derivant decorating FeSiAl coupling magnetic and electrical losses for enhanced microwave absorption

Traditional single-component microwave absorbers face the difficulties including the narrow absorption bandwidth and low absorption strength. Herein, we develop a novel dual-magnetic composite decorating with covalent-organic framework (COF of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol and p-phenylenediamine: TpPa) and carbon hybrid to enhance microwave absorption performance. Namely, a dual-magnetic FeSiAl@(CoFe2O4/C)@TpPa core–shell structure with rich interfacial polarizations was prepared by the three main steps: firstly, the plate-like FeSiAl was decorated with the MOFs of ZIF-67. And then it was converted to FeSiAl@(CoFe2O4/C) after an annealing process under Ar. Lastly, the in-situ growth of COF (TpPa) was designed for enhanced microwave penetration into the interior of absorbers. The as-design dual-magnetic FeSiAl/CoFe2O4 effectively favors to magnetic domain resonance resulting in the dual-magnetic coupling effects. Meanwhile, the multi-level structure formed by ultra-fine carbon in FeSiAl@(CoFe2O4/C)@TpPa enables magnetic-dielectric synergies and enriches the attenuation path as well. Furthermore, the accumulation of transferred charge at multiple interfaces provides a stronger relaxation polarization loss. The above positive factors collectively promote the high-performance microwave absorption with the reflection loss (RL) value up to −51.3 dB and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) covers 3.2–17.7 GHz by adjusting the thickness of absorbers. Therefore, this dual-magnetic/dielectric coupling approach provides an innovative strategy for fabricating advanced microwave absorbers.

A-Site Doped in Perovskite La(1-x)Bax/2Srx/2Mn0.4Ti0.6O3 (x = 0, 0.1, and 0.3) for Absorbing Microwave Material

Microwave radiation can have harmful effects on our bodies. With increased exposure due to online activities, it is essential to use absorber materials like perovskite manganate to reduce radiation. In this study, perovskite manganate La(1-x)Bax/2Srx/2Mn0.4Ti0.6O3 (x = 0, 0.1, and 0.3) was synthesized using the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the two samples were multi-phased, LaMnO3 and La2Ti2O7, and were formed, exhibiting a rhombohedral crystal structure (R -3 c). Morphological characterization of the sample surface using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showed that as doping increases, the grain size decreases from 282.02 to 245.63 nm at x=0 and x=0.3, respectively. This result implies that doping leads to more uniform grain distribution and enhanced grain refinement. Characterization via Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) revealed that the maximum saturation value, 0.79 emu/g, was attained when x = 0. This sample exhibits soft magnetic properties, as evidenced by its coercivity (Hc) value of < 1kOe. Results from the Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) indicate that the absorption capacity of La(1-x)Bax/2Srx/2Mn0.4Ti0.6O3 increases, with a maximum reflection loss value of -25.5 dB with 1.5 mm thickness. Consequently, La(1-x)Bax/2Srx/2Mn0.4Ti0.6O3 demonstrates potential as a microwave absorber material.

Nano-Fe3O4 decorated on carbon aerogel framework: Coupling microstructures synergistic effect for electromagnetic wave absorption

Generation of multi-components synergistic absorbers is of value for efficient electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. This study constructed two kinds of nano-Fe3O4 decorated carbon aerogels with disparate microstructures (either Fe3O4 nucleated on the surface of carbon skeleton or the pore inside the aerogel) and highlighted the significance of the coupling microstructure on the EMW absorption capacity of the magnetic-dielectric material. The results demonstrate that the readily Fe3O4 coated and distributed carbon aerogel favors to improve EMW absorbing performance. A minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of −51.8 dB is achieved at 4.9 GHz. In addition, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) covered the Ku bands under the matching thickness of only 1.8 mm. The favorable impedance matching and abundant hetero-interfaces collectively contribute to the EMW attenuation. The work with respect to interfacial structural control is of great reference value for designing excellent EMW absorber candidates.

Structural engineering of rare earth metal-organic frameworks derivatives with high anisotropy for high-efficiency electromagnetic wave absorption

Structural engineering and component design are crucial for conceiving outstanding metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials. However, an efficient and direct clarification of the structural influences on the EMW absorption performance of MOF-based absorption materials remains highly challenging and still awaits exploration. To this end, we synthesized a new type of rare earth (RE) MOFs with hexagonal-bipyramidal, snowflake-like, and dendritic structures through facilely controlling the solvent ratios in a scalable coprecipitation approach. The MOF-derived CeO2/Co/C hybrids with the same component content inheriting the morphological structures showcased tunable dielectric property and EMW absorption performance. The dendritic MOF derivatives with the highest anisotropy achieved a superior EMW absorption performance, manifesting a minimum reflection loss value of −71.5 dB at 1.7 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.2 GHz at 1.6 mm thickness, comparable to those of the best EMW absorbers. This work not only confirmed the high potential of RE MOF derivatives for EMW absorption, but also directly and efficiently unveiled the mechanism of morphological structure on the dielectric property and EMW absorption performance for the MOF-based EMW absorption material.

Synthesis of Cobalt Particles and Investigation of Their Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Characteristics.

As the integration technology for integrated circuit (IC) packaging continues to advance, the issue of electromagnetic interference in IC packaging becomes increasingly prominent. Magnetic materials, acknowledged for their superior electromagnetic absorption capabilities, play a pivotal role in mitigating electromagnetic interference problems. In this study, we employed a liquid-phase reduction method. We prepared three types of cobalt (Co) particles with distinct morphologies. Through variations in the synthesis process conditions, we were able to control the aspect ratio of protrusions on the surface of the Co particles. It was found that the sword-like Co particles exhibit superior electromagnetic wave absorption capabilities, showing a reflection loss value of up to -50.96 dB. Notably, when the coating thickness is only 1.6 mm, the effective absorption bandwidth is extended up to 7.6 GHz. The spatially expansive sword-like Co particles, with their unique structure featuring dipole polarization and interfacial polarization, demonstrated enhanced dielectric and magnetic loss capabilities, concurrently showcasing superior impedance-matching performance.

Design of porous SiC/MnO2 bulk composite with improved absorption of low-frequency electromagnetic waves

Silicon carbide (SiC) is expected to be the new-generation electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorber. In this context, the SiC/C composites were first prepared through a hydrothermal method using glucose as the carbon source. Then SiC/MnO2 composites were fabricated by a second hydrothermal reaction using potassium permanganate (KMnO4) as raw material. With glucose content increased to 10 wt%, the composition exhibited outstanding EMW absorption performance with the minimum reflection loss value of − 55.7 dB at the frequency of 2.1 GHz, and effective absorption bandwidth can cover the entire S-band by adjusting sample thickness. Therefore, the SiC/MnO2 composites present a promising EMW-absorbing material for low-frequency applications.

Enhanced electromagnetic wave attenuation performance of hierarchical Fe3O4/N-doped carbon nanosheets by heterointerface engineering

The dielectric-magnetic composites with a unique structure are regarded as promising materials for addressing the issue of electromagnetic wave pollution. Herein, a series of hierarchical Fe3O4/N-doped carbon nanosheets (Fe3O4/HNCS) composites with adjustable electromagnetic wave attenuation (EMWA) properties were successfully fabricated by adjusting the proportion of iron source and carbon using a simple combination of molten salt and solvothermal methods. Among all the composites, the Fe3O4/HNCS-0.25 exhibits the strongest reflection loss (RL) value of − 52.08 dB with an ultra-thin thickness of 1.4 mm, corresponding to an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.16 GHz. Furthermore, the Fe3O4/HNCS-0.20 achieves a maximum EAB value of 4.4 GHz, obtained at a thickness of 1.4 mm. The superior EMWA performances originate from excellent impedance matching, synergy between dielectric and magnetic loss, and unique hierarchical structure. This study presents a straightforward and environmentally friendly method for fabricating high-performance dielectric-magnetic EMWA materials with an ultra-thin matching thickness.

Component modulation and integrated multidimensional heterostructures of bimetallic MOFs derived 0D Co3ZnC/Co encapsulated in 2D CNTs-grafted 3D N-doped porous carbon polyhedron for high-efficient microwave absorption

Component modulation and multidimensional structural design are effective strategies to regulate the electromagnetic parameters and impedance matching, resulting in high-efficient microwave absorption. Herein, multidimensional integrated Co3ZnC/Co@C heterostructures compounding of 0D Co and Co3ZnC NCs, 1D CNTs and 3D porous carbon polyhedrons were fabricated by pyrolysis of bimetallic MOFs. Co and Co3ZnC NCs are uniformly encapsulated in CNTs-grafted porous carbon polyhedrons, forming 0D-1D-3D integrated heterostructures. The Co3ZnC/Co@C composites show component-modulated electromagnetic parameters and microwave absorption properties, which can be simply regulated by adjusting the ratio of Co/Zn in the MOFs precursor. With a filling ratio of 30 wt%, the optimal Co3ZnC/Co@C heterostructures show a minimum reflection loss (RL) value of −66.78 dB at 7.43 GHz with a thickness of 4.5 mm, located at the C band. The maximum effective absorption bandwidth (RL≤−10 dB) is up to 4.8 GHz (12.9–17.7 GHz) at only 2.0 mm. The high-efficient microwave absorption performance is attributed to that the multidimensional integrated heterostructures can sufficiently maximize the synergistic effects of each component. The uniformly distributed 0D Co and Co3ZnC NCs can promote magnetic loss and interfacial polarization. 1D CNTs are beneficial to enhance the conductive loss. 3D porous carbon polyhedrons grafted with CNTs are favored to promote the scattering of microwaves and impedance matching. These findings suggest a new insight to achieve high-performance microwave absorption by modulating the component and integrating multidimensional structures.

Design and Fabrication of Flexible Woodpile Structured Nanocomposite for Microwave Absorption Using Material Extrusion Additive Technique

The explosive growth of electronics and the widespread use of transient power sources have given rise to an undesirable and uncontrolled consequence of electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is crucial to address and mitigate the issues caused by EMI by developing effective shielding techniques. The material extrusion additive technique provides a solution through its versatile 3D printing of polymeric ink, offering advantages such as design flexibility, structural complexity, and environmental sustainability. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the rheological properties, electromagnetic properties, and thermal stability of nanocomposites consisting of Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). The aim is to utilize these findings for the design and 3D printing of a microwave absorber with high efficiency. Composite inks containing 50 vol% (C50) and 60 vol% (C60) of CNTs exhibit favorable shear-thinning behavior and shape retention. On the other hand, lower CNT percentages result in inconsistent viscosity, rendering the inks non-printable. Thermogravimetry analysis reveals that an increase in CNT vol% leads to a decrease in the thermal stability of 3D-printed PDMS-CNT nanocomposites. Higher CNT proportion enhances electric polarization, and attenuation capacity, as evidenced by measurements of complex permittivity and dielectric loss tangent. X-Ray Diffraction analysis was employed to examine the effect of CNT inclusion in the composites. A woodpile-structured metamaterial microwave absorber based on gradient index (GWMMA) was designed by manipulating geometric parameters and CNT vol%. Fifteen unit cell configurations were generated and subsequently chosen based on their exceptional attenuation capabilities, low impedance, and narrower filament width for simulations. The GWMMA demonstrates exceptional absorption performance, surpassing reflection loss values of −10dB. Incorporating a third filament stacking into the woodpile structure augments its efficacy, yet further additions of stackings result in diminishing returns. Experimental validation of a selected 3D-printed GWMMA structure of C60 with a width of 0.75 mm confirms its absorption capabilities, closely aligning with the simulated results. The GWMMA exhibits promising performance for microwave absorption, with absorption values exceeding 90%. Simulations indicate the adjustability of the GWMMA's bandwidth and absorption capabilities through alterations in array periodicity and cell size. Its spatial scale aligns with sub-wavelength structures, establishing it as a representative Metamaterial Absorber (MMA).

Construction of secondary heterojunction interface between 2D NiCo-LDH and MOF-derived 0D Co@NC for enhanced electromagnetic response

The development of hierarchical heterostructures to enhance the interfacial interactions between substrates and ligands is recognized as an effective approach for optimizing electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance. Nonetheless, the advancement of novel EMW absorbers with ultrathin matching thickness (d < 1 mm), robust reflection loss (RL ≤ -50 dB), and a broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ -10 dB) continues to present a formidable challenge. In this work, we have manufactured Co@NC/NiCo-LDH absorbers featuring hierarchical hetero-interfacial structures. This was accomplished using a straightforward hydrothermal method that induced the in-situ growth of 2D NiCo-LDH nanosheet ligands on the surface of 0D Co@NC heterostructured substrates. Both 0D Co@NC heterostructures and 2D NiCo-LDH nanosheets are composed of small nanoparticles, creating many homogeneous and heterogeneous interfaces, and substantially augmenting interfacial polarization loss. The Co@NC/NiCo-LDH hierarchical hetero-interfacial structure demonstrates strong dielectric loss (interfacial polarization, conductive loss, dipolar polarization), magnetic loss (natural resonance and switched resonance), and excellent impedance matching. As a result, the Co@NC/NiCo-LDH heterostructure displays excellent EMW absorption characteristics with reflection loss (RL) values of -55.78 dB and -60.53 dB at matching thicknesses of 0.97 mm and 1.45 mm, respectively. The EAB value can reach 4.36 GHz. Furthermore, the Co@NC/NiCo-LDH absorber demonstrates outstanding radar wave attenuation performance through radar cross-section simulation (RCS). It achieves a maximum RCS reduction value of 30.96 dB m2. This research offers valuable insights into the EMW absorption mechanism of hierarchical hetero-interfacial structures, contributing to a deeper understanding of the design and utilization of multilevel heterostructures.
