MOF-derived Ni/N,S dual-doped graphene composites as high-performance microwave absorber

Abstract

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) derived materials have attracted a lot of attention in the field of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. In this regard, we improved the EMW absorption performance of Ni-based MOF derived materials by introducing sulfur and nitrogen dual-doped graphene (N,S-GS), which possesses good electrical conductivity. The minimum reflection loss (RL_min) of Ni/C/N,S-GS can reach −51.4 dB at 10.1 GHz when the absorber thickness is only 2.43 mm, with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 3.04 GHz. This work provides us with a novel strategy for the synthesis of composites with high-performance microwave absorption for practical applications.
