High-Performance Microwave Absorption Materials: Theory, Fabrication, and Functionalization

Abstract

The rapid development of 5G communication technology has led to serious electromagnetic wave pollution, and as a result, it is urgent to develop high-performance microwave absorption materials (MAMs) conducive to reducing electromagnetic pollution, which has great use in both the military and civilian fields. In this review article, we first introduce the absorption theory of microwave absorption materials. Then, the recent research progress in microwave absorption materials categorized as dielectric loss MAMs, magnetic loss MAMs, and electromagnetic synergistic loss MAMs are profoundly reviewed according to absorption mechanism. Subsequently, we proceed to review recent achievements in combining wave absorption with other functions including hydrophobicity, infrared stealth, and selfhealing, aiming at developing advanced multifunctional MAMs adapted to various extreme environments during practical applications. Finally, the challenges are presented, and prospects for potential opportunities in this rapidly blossoming field are discussed accordingly. We hope this critical review is timely, which could provide guidance for those who are committed to designing absorbers with better fundamental understanding and practical application.

Cu2NiSnS4 Nanoparticles Supported on rGO for Dual Frequency Range Electromagnetic Shielding

“…When the ratio of CNTs to RGO is balanced, it allows the material to possess not only dielectric losses like dipole losses and interface losses but also enhances the material’s electrical conduction loss capability through the conductive network formed by rGO. , However, when the rGO mass ratio becomes too high, the dielectric relaxation phenomena weaken due to increased conductivity, gradually manifesting more substantial conduction losses. However, excessive conductivity can diminish the material’s dielectric constant, causing it to lose its impedance-matching capability. , …”

Polysaccharides from Russula: a review on extraction, purification, and bioactivities

“…The extraction process plays a pivotal role, as the various extraction technologies can yield polysaccharides with distinct monosaccharide compositions, molecular weights (Mw), and structures, which significantly influence their biological activities, making the extraction step a critical determinant of their potential applications ( 20 ). Generally, the proposed extraction technologies include chemical-based (alkali-based) ( 14 , 16 ), ultrasonic-assisted method ( 21–23 ), microwave-assisted method ( 24 ), ultra-high-pressure method ( 25 , 26 ), and hot water-based extractions ( 10 , 15 , 27 ), which have been identified as the effective technologies to extract the polysaccharides in Russula. However, the proteins, lipids, and other organic molecules occurring in the cell wall and associated with the polysaccharides are co-extracted during the process ( 10 , 20 ).…”
