By lowering the content of wave-absorbing fillers, carbon-based composite foams decorated with ZnO@reduced graphene oxide (MF/ZnO@G) were prepared and exhibited outstanding microwave absorption performance. The paraffin-based composite with 5 wt% MF/ZnO@G foam showed a maximum reflection loss of - 63.2 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.2 GHz.
Lowering the content of wave-absorbing fillers in composites can not only reduce the fabrication cost but preserve the processibility of matrix materials. Herein, via an in-situ crystallization combined with a dipcoating method, carbon-based composite foams decorated with ZnO@reduced graphene oxide (MF/ZnO@G) were prepared as microwave absorbers. Benefiting from the excellent impedance matching, elaborately constructed multiple polarization, and multiple reflections, the paraffin-based composite (4.1 mm in thickness) with 5 wt% MF/ZnO@G foam exhibited outstanding microwave absorption performance with a maximum reflection loss of - 63.2 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.2 GHz. This work provides a facile and efficient engineering strategy to fabricate high-performance microwave absorbers with low filler content. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
