Abstract

The preparation of high-performance microwave absorption materials is essential for practical applications but is challenging, primarily due to the difficulties in large-scale and low-cost synthesis of electromagnetic absorbents. In this study, an eggplant-derived carbon sheet (ECS) and flaky carbonyl iron (FCI) were used for material preparation by large-scale synthesis. The effects of the addition of ECS to FCI on the electromagnetic characteristics and microwave absorption properties were comprehensively investigated. The results showed that desirable electromagnetic parameters and enhanced microwave absorption performance could be realized. Specifically, for a prepared 2.0 mm microwave absorption coating with only 6 wt.% of ECS and 24 wt.% of FCI loading (area density of 0.247 g/cm2), a larger measured effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, reflection loss <  −10 dB) value of 8.34 GHz (9.66–18 GHz) was achieved. The lightweight broadband microwave absorption coating was provided by the synergistic enhancement effect of the filled ECS and FCI, which exhibits a high potential for practical applications.
