Bimetal-doped core-shell carbon derived from nickel-cobalt dual-ligand metal-organic framework for adjustable strong microwave absorption

Metal-organic framework materials (MOF) have become a new generation of microwave absorption (MA) materials. However, it is still challenging to design an appropriate microstructure that can efficiently adjust the microwave absorbing characteristics. Herein, a novel bimetal-doped core-shell carbon derived from nickel-cobalt dual-ligand MOF has been successfully prepared. By changing the ratio of the second ligand, the morphology can change from sea urchin-like to rod-like and petal-like shapes, thereby regulating the final wave absorption performance of MOF derivatives. The Bi-MOF-1 exhibited strong micro-wave absorption (up to -70.70 dB), while Bi-MOF-2 presented broad effective absorption bandwidth (5.92 GHz). The analyses indicated that the excellent impedance matching can be attributed to the double-layer magnetic loss and multiple dielectric loss of the core-shell structure. This work provides a feasible approach for the design and preparation of functional composite structures based on MOF derivatives with controllable microwave absorbing properties.
