Abstract:
Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) derived from metal-organic frameworks (ZIF-8) are synthesized, which are further self-assembled into mono- or bilayer superstructures for electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption. Furthermore, the effect of ZIF-8 morphology (cubic or rhombic dodecahedral) on the superstructure and EM absorption performance of CNPs is investigated. The as-prepared cubic bilayer superstructure exhibits a higher BET surface area of 526.1 m2/g and a higher pore volume of 0.232 cm3/g than the rhombic dodecahedral monolayer superstructure (30.0 m2/g and 0.051 cm3/g, respectively). As a result, the two-dimensional CNPs with a bilayer structure are able to deliver the highest EM absorption performance with an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.2 GHz at a thickness of merely 2.4 mm. This work provides a new approach to designing and preparing high-performance EM wave absorption materials.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
