applications in the fields of gas storage, electron conducting materials, catalysis, and sensors. [2] Nevertheless, the conductive and dielectric properties of pure MOF are too low to meet the requirement of electromagnetic (EM) impedance match. To improve the conductively and EM response capability, the thermal annealing of MOF precursors is the preferred strategy to gain the porous metal-carbonbased nanostructured materials. [3] More importantly, the final constituent of MOF derivatives can be effectively regulated by selecting the different metals sources and organic ligand. The MOF-derived hybrids can be consisted of magnetic metal oxide/ alloy, semiconductive carbon, or their composites via a facile subsequent treatment. Benefitting from the diversified composition and good chemical homogeneity, a number of efforts have been made to prove that MOFs are ideal templates or precursors for fabricating the versatile inorganic functional materials, such as graphitic carbon-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles, core-shell Fe/C nanocubes and CoSe@carbon nanoboxes. [2c,4] Based on these premises, it can be envisioned that MOF derivatives are promising and meaningful to fabricate the novel functional materials, especially in the microwave absorption (MA) field. Using a transformed strategy, MOF-derived magnetic-carbon composites can inherit the well-dispersed nanoparticles and the pristine microstructure with desirable properties.Nowadays, EM pollution issues have become increasingly serious due to the wide utilization in telecommunication, navigation, radar detector, and increasing number of electronic devices, which is an omnipresent problem that threatens our daily lives. [5] Therefore, EM absorption materials are crucial to the human protection and sophisticated equipment operation, having attracted the most extensive attention in past decades. To address these problems, searching for high-efficiency MA materials with a broadband absorption frequency and high loss capacity has stimulated huge interest in civil and military fields, especially in the gigahertz (GHz) band range. [6] It is known that the MA performance of absorbers is mainly determined by two
Metal-organic framework (MOF) is highly desirable as a functional material owing to its low density, tunable pore size, and diversity of coordination formation, but limited by the poor dielectric properties. Herein, by controlling the solvent and mole ratio of cobalt/linker, multidimension-controllable MOF-derived nitrogen-doped carbon materials exhibit tunable morphology from sheet-, flower-, cube-, dodecahedron-to octahedron-like. Tunable electromagnetic parameters of Co@N-doped carbon composites (Co@NC)can be obtained and the initial MOF precursor determines the distribution of carbon framework and magnetic cobalt nanoparticles. Carbonized Co@NC compo sites possess the following advantages: i) controllable dimension and morphology to balance the electromagnetic properties with evenly charged density distribution; ii) magnetic-carbon composites offer plenty of inte...
