Abstract
Three-dimensional carbon-based materials have attracted significant interest due to their lightweight nature; however, controlling their morphology while maintaining lightweight characteristics when combined with other materials remains a major challenge in developing materials exhibiting superior capabilities for absorbing electromagnetic waves. In this work, graphene oxide (GO) and polystyrene spheres (PS) were used as precursors to prepare hollow N-doped graphene spheres anchored with non-planar coordination of Pb single-atoms (Pb-Nx/HCS-D). The resulting Pb-Nx/HCS-D features a unique hollow structure, exhibits exceptional electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption properties with a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −47.2 dB at 1.5 mm thickness and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.64 GHz at 1.7 mm, with a low filler content of only 10 wt%. This superior performance originates from the non-planar coordination of single Pb atoms and the interconnected hollow carbon sphere framework, synergistically improving impedance matching and enhancing dielectric loss. This study provides an effective method for synthesizing non-planar-coordination of M − single-atoms for high-performance EMW absorption.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
