Biomass-Derived Carbon Heterostructures Enable Environmentally Adaptive Wideband Electromagnetic Wave Absorbers

Zhichao Lou et al.

Summary: This study presents the design of carbon heterostructures derived from bamboo, which exhibit excellent electromagnetic absorption performance and environmental adaptability. The assembly of nanofibers and nanosheets acts as a nanometer-sized antenna, enhancing the conductive loss. The composition of cellulose and lignin in the precursor significantly affects the assembly shape, the formation of covalent bonds, and the surface hydrophobicity. The obtained carbon heterostructure maintains wideband electromagnetic absorption in real-world environments.

An angle-insensitive electromagnetic absorber enabling a wideband absorption

Zhichao Lou et al.

Summary: This article proposes a strategy to mitigate environmental pollution caused by electromagnetic waves by designing electromagnetic wave absorbers with wideband absorption capability. The effect of the absorbers' structure and the incident angle of the electromagnetic waves on the absorption performance was studied by synthesizing absorbers with different symmetric structures. It was found that non-magnetic absorbers with spatially symmetric nanostructures exhibit excellent angle-insensitivity. Finally, non-magnetic absorbers made from bamboo-derived carbon nanospheres were demonstrated to have angle-insensitivity and wideband absorption performance with a significant improvement in thickness.
