Synergistic sp-C/sp-N Anchoring of Metal Single Atoms on Graphdiyne for Enhanced Microwave Absorption

configuration induces stronger charge transfer and dipole polarization. This effect synergistically optimizes both the dielectric loss and impedance matching of the material. Consequently, the optimal sample Fe-N-GDY achieved an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.98 GHz at a matched thickness of 2.0 mm, with a minimum reflection loss of -51.2 dB. The strategy was further extended to multiple 3d transition metals (Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn). Results indicate that Group VIII elements (Fe, Co, Ni) exhibit superior performance in practical materials due to their electronic structures that favor balancing polarization and conduction losses. Radar cross section simulations confirm the exceptional attenuation capabilities of this series of absorbers in real-world scenarios. This work not only pioneers new applications for GDY in microwave absorption but also establishes a theoretical foundation for rationally designing atomically precise electromagnetic functional materials by revealing the "single-atom structure-property" correlation.

Abstract

configuration induces stronger charge transfer and dipole polarization. This effect synergistically optimizes both the dielectric loss and impedance matching of the material. Consequently, the optimal sample Fe-N-GDY achieved an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.98 GHz at a matched thickness of 2.0 mm, with a minimum reflection loss of -51.2 dB. The strategy was further extended to multiple 3d transition metals (Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn). Results indicate that Group VIII elements (Fe, Co, Ni) exhibit superior performance in practical materials due to their electronic structures that favor balancing polarization and conduction losses. Radar cross section simulations confirm the exceptional attenuation capabilities of this series of absorbers in real-world scenarios. This work not only pioneers new applications for GDY in microwave absorption but also establishes a theoretical foundation for rationally designing atomically precise electromagnetic functional materials by revealing the "single-atom structure-property" correlation.
