Abstract
Melamine foams are commonly used as precursors for the carbon foams’ synthesis. In this paper, polypyrrole was chosen for the modification of melamine foams, realizing hierarchical N doped carbon foams through a one-step carbonization. Polypyrrole played multiple roles, such as stabilizing the foam structures, regulating the morphology and providing the doping N source, etc. The hierarchical N doped carbon foams showed significantly enhanced electromagnetic absorptions with the optimal reflection loss reached −44.58 dB at 8.23 GHz. This paper provides referencing pathway for the design of lightweight electromagnetic absorption materials.
