Carbon-Based Composites for Microwave Absorption and Electromagnetic Shielding
This community develops carbon-rich materials and composites designed to absorb microwave radiation and shield against electromagnetic interference.
The research focuses heavily on synthesizing carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, reduced graphene, and porous carbon structures, often combined with metal oxides or sulfides to create heterostructures. Key applications include broadband microwave absorption, electromagnetic interference shielding, and thermal management. Common structural motifs include core-shell architectures, aerogels, and flexible composites. The work emphasizes enhancing shielding effectiveness and absorption efficiency through interfacial polarization and impedance matching, with specific attention to low-frequency and broadband performance.
The largest share of the community's output is found in carbon research, accounting for 60.0% of all carbon research, and 4,946 papers here. This element also leads in total paper count within the group.
The community comprises 9,707 papers, publishing most frequently in Carbon, Journal of Alloys and Compounds, and Chemical Engineering Journal.
Recent work continues to explore hierarchical interfaces and multi-component composites, such as selenium-vacancy-rich nanocomposites and magnetic graphene aerogels, to optimize broadband absorption and synergistic thermal management.
