  • Characterizing microwave absorption performance and material density.

    • Main Results:

    • Open-cell graphene aerogels (OCGA) exhibited significantly enhanced microwave absorption.
    • Achieved a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -51.22 dB at a density of 4.81 mg/cm³.
    • A gradient structure yielded an exceptional RLmin of -62.58 dB with only 0.53 wt% graphene content.
    • Structural strength increased by up to 167%.

    Conclusions:

    • The open-cell and gradient structures are key to the enhanced microwave absorption via multiple reflections and impedance matching.
    • OCGAs are promising candidates for lightweight and efficient microwave absorption applications.
    • The developed materials offer a viable solution for mitigating electromagnetic pollution.
