Summary: C-based microwave absorbers, such as hard carbon-based composites, have been studied for over 80 years and show promise as advanced high-performance microwave absorbers. However, little research has been done on the microwave absorption properties of hard carbon-based composites. In this study, composites composed of layered hard carbon embedded with ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized and found to exhibit excellent microwave absorption properties, which could offer a new insight for the design of high-performance microwave absorbers.

Summary: Due to its thermal stability, conductivity, high exciton binding energy and high electron mobility, zinc oxide is one of the most studied semiconductors in the field of photocatalysis. Doping the lattice with foreign atoms can introduce defects within the bandgap, making zinc oxide optically active in the visible range and reducing the energy required for photo-driven charge separation. This study demonstrates a green synthetic procedure for achieving high-level doping and highlights the importance of thermal treatment in selecting the nature of the defect and the material's capability for specific chemistry. The low-temperature treatments were found to produce material with higher efficiency in the water photosplitting reaction.
