Advanced electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials with low-cost, lightweight, high absorption efficiency and wide absorption frequency are extremely desirable for solving electromagnetic radiation. Herein, an excellent microwave absorber composed of NiCo2S4 nanosheets decorated three-dimensional (3D) hierarchically porous carbon derived from biomass was successfully designed and constructed via a facile strategy for the first time. The results shown that the morphology and EMW absorption ability of 3D NiCo2S4/C hybrid composites could be synchronously tailored just by controlling the initial content of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a surfactant, and a substantial enhancement of microwave absorption performance could be achieved after the introduction of NiCo2S4 nanosheets, resulting from the matched impedance and the enhanced attenuation constant. The optimized NiCo2S4/C composites exhibit strong EMW absorption abilities, whose minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value reaches -64.74 dB with an ultra-thin thickness of 1.91 mm, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL <= - 10 dB) is up to 5.26 GHz ranging from 9.22 to 14.48 GHz, which could also cover the entire X-band within 2.23-2.31 mm thickness. This work provides a new sight to design and prepare next-generation microwave absorbers with high absorption efficiency and wide absorption frequency through a low-cost, sustainable and effective method.
