Abstract

Developing microwave absorption (MA) materials with ultrahigh efficiency and facile preparation method remains a challenge. Herein, a superior 1D@2D@1D hierarchical structure integrated with multi-heterointerfaces via self-assembly and an autocatalytic pyrolysis is designed to fully unlock the microwave attenuation potential of materials, realizing ultra-efficient MA performance. By precisely regulating the morphology of the metal organic framework precursor toward improved impedance matching and intelligently integrating multi-heterointerfaces to boosted dielectric polarization, the specific return loss value of composites can be effectively tuned and optimized to -1002 dB at a very thin thickness of 1.8 mm. These encouraging achievements shed fresh insights into the precise design of ultra-efficient MA materials.

Keywords: autocatalytic pyrolysis; hierarchical structures; metal organic frameworks; multiple heterointerfaces; ultra-efficient microwave absorption performance.
