Developing pure carbon materials for electromagnetic wave absorption is highly valuable, and maintaining high conductivity while adjusting the relaxation intensity is an effective way to improve absorption. Experimental results demonstrate that carbon absorbers with high conductivity and appropriate relaxation intensity show excellent absorption performance and wide absorption bandwidth.
Developing the pure carbon materials with ultra-light and excellent electromagnetic wave absorption (EWA) performance that aims to solve signal interference or electromagnetic pollution is highly desirable. However, there still remains a huge challenge that whether the pure carbon materials with excellent conductivity can be used as EWA alone and how the performance can be optimized. Keeping the high conductivity and adjusting the relaxation intensity (De) at the same time are theoretically found to be the effective way to improve the attenuation of electromagnetic wave and obtain better impedance matching. Herein, the key relationship between De and EWA property is proved by theoretical calculation. As the experimental design, the pure carbon absorber, CMF (carbonized melamine foam, the density of 4.34 mg cm(-3)), which holds highly conductivity and appropriate De, exhibits a strong absorption (-57.3 dB) and a wide effective absorption band of 8.32 GHz. It is verified when carbon material possesses excellent conductivity, it is easy to steer the optimized design of De toward improving the impedance matching. Meanwhile, the strategy developed here paves a new way for the design of high conductivity and ultralight EWA materials for the practical applications. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
