Porous Structure Fibers Based on Multi‐Element Heterogeneous Components for Optimized Electromagnetic Wave Absorption and Self‐Anticorrosion Performance

The excellent performance of electromagnetic wave absorbers primarily depends on the coordination among components and the rational design of the structure. In this study, a series of porous fibers with carbon nanotubes uniformly distributed in the shape of pine leaves are prepared through electrospinning technique, one-pot hydrothermal synthesis, and high-temperature catalysis method. The impedance matching of the nanofibers with a porous structure is optimized by incorporating melamine into the spinning solution, as it undergoes gas decomposition during high-temperature calcination. Moreover, the electronic structure can be modulated by controlling the NH₄F content in the hydrothermal synthesis process. Ultimately, the Ni/Co/CrN/CNTs-CF specimen (P3C NiCrN12) exhibited superior performance, while achieving a minimum reflection loss (RL_min) of -56.18 dB at a thickness of 2.2 mm and a maximum absorption bandwidth (EAB_max) of 5.76 GHz at a thickness of 2.1 mm. This study presents an innovative approach to fabricating lightweight, thin materials with exceptional absorption properties and wide bandwidth by optimizing the three key factors influencing electromagnetic wave absorption performance.
