Abstract

The complex electromagnetic environment challenges high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers. Conventional single-layer absorbers face performance decline under oblique incidence due to mismatched transmission paths and thickness constraints from quarter-wavelength theory. To address this, we develop a phosphorylated carbonized wood-phosphorylated carbonized fiber composite (PCW-PCF), combining natural oriented porous meta-structures with a micro-engineered carbon fiber network. This hierarchical framework employs material/structural dispersion engineering to enhance multiple scattering and dielectric losses. The PCW-PCF achieves an ultrabroad 31-GHz absorption band (9–40 GHz, US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)-arch method), stable performance across polarizations (TE/TM) and oblique incidence (≤60°). Additionally, it demonstrates ultralow density (0.048 g/cm³), exceptional specific compressive strength (66.46 MPa cm⁻³ g⁻¹), and flame retardancy. These findings underscore the significant potential of utilizing sustainable wood-derived materials for the development of high-performance EMW absorption materials.

生物质衍生的分层碳框架能够实现强大的微波吸收

复杂的电磁环境对高性能电磁波（EMW）吸收器提出了挑战。由于传输路径不匹配和四分之一波长理论的厚度限制，传统的单层吸收器在斜入射下性能下降。为了解决这个问题，我们开发了一种磷酸化碳化木-磷酸化碳化纤维复合材料（PCW-PCF），将自然取向的多孔元结构与微工程碳纤维网络相结合。这种分层框架采用材料/结构色散工程来增强多重散射和介电损耗。PCW-PCF实现了超远31 GHz吸收波段（9-40 GHz，美国海军研究实验室(NRL)-拱法），跨极化（TE/TM）和斜入射（≤60°）性能稳定。此外，它还具有超低密度（0.048 g/cm3），优异的比抗压强度（66.46 MPa cm−3 g−1）和阻燃性。这些发现强调了利用可持续木材衍生材料开发高性能EMW吸收材料的巨大潜力。
