Abstract
Developing bifunctional materials with smart discoloration and microwave absorption properties has attracted widespread interest in microwave absorption/shielding, yet it is challenging for reversible discoloration performance in humid (such as forest) and dry (desert) environments. Herein, we combined catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) technology and a hydrothermal synthesis method to develop a FeSiB@C@NiBr2 atomic-scale double-shell gradient structure with rich interfaces. These nanosheet arrays favor interface polarization, impedance matching, and dipole polarization of the material, thereby optimizing the microwave absorption performance. The optimal reflection loss (RL) value of FeSiB@C@NiBr2 reached − 59.6 dB at 9.2 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) reached 7.0 GHz at a thickness of 2.5 mm. Compared with pure FeSiB (RLmin of − 13.5 dB), the RLmin value of the absorber designed by this method increased by ~ 3 times. The color of NiBr2 in the outermost nanosheet arrays changes between yellow and green in the case of water molecule harvesting and loss, respectively. This novel FeSiB@C@NiBr2 composite structure material is expected to provide a promising platform for wave-absorbing and smart discoloring materials.
