Abstract

Lightweight and highly efficient electromagnetic absorptions are crucial for microwave absorption materials due to the fast development of information technology. Bio-derived carbon materials are ideal resistance loss-type microwave absorbers with lightweight. A honey-comb carbon structure has been obtained from peach gum by facile hydrothermal and pyrolysis processes. The skeleton of the as-derived honey-comb carbon structure is composed of carbon nanoparticles with diameters around 40 nm. The honey-comb structures were further carbonized at 850 °C (NPG-850) to have a large specific surface area of 1401.7 m2 g−1 with an average pore diameter of 3.2 nm. A minimum reflection loss (RL) of − 59.4 dB was obtained by NPG-850 at a thickness of 2.0 mm with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL <  − 10 dB) of 4.1 GHz (14.7–10.6 GHz). The RL value of the peach gum-derived honey-comb carbon nanostructures is much higher than the reported carbon nanostructures even with thinner thickness and less mass loading, which might due to the multi-reflection effect of the honey-comb structures and the skeleton composition.
