Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are considered as a novel type of microwave absorption(MA)material owing to the sufficient pore structure,diverse configurations,and easy-to-control magnetic properties.However,their evolution is limited by the imperfect impedance matching conditions caused by the un-desirable microstructure.Herein,two types of novel porous coral-like carbon/Co3O4 and carbon/Co com-posites have been effectively fabricated for the first time by a facile heat treatment process of precursor Co-MOF-71.The graphitization degree,magnetic property and MA ability of the product can be effort-lessly tuned by altering the heat treatment temperature of Co-MOF-71.Remarkably,S500(Co-MOF-71 calcined at 500℃)composite displays strong and multi-frequency absorption performance,whose min-imum reflection loss(RL)value achieves-36.4 dB with an absorbing thickness of 3.0 mm and attains an effective absorbing bandwidth(RL≤-10 dB)of 5.76 GHz(almost covers whole Ku band)at a thin-ner coating thickness of 2.5 mm.Such superb MA ability has roots in the coral-like structure derived from the layer Co-MOF-71,sufficient electromagnetic loss.This work ameliorates the MA ability of MOFs through a special nanostructural design,which provides a fresh way for the preparation of novel MA materials.
