The composition and interior cavity of the Co-C/Void/CogS8 composite could be precisely modulated by controlling the sulfidation reaction. Due to the abundant heterointerfaces, well-controlled cavity, and magnetic-dielectric synergistic effects, the Co-C/Void/CogS8 exhibited excellent and tunable microwave- absorbing properties. The optimized Co-C/Void/Cog~ having a loading of 25 wt.% and thickness only 2.2 mm, displayed an ultrabroad absorption bandwidth of 8.2 GHz at high frequencies. Moreover, the composite could achieve an extremely high reflection loss of -54.02 dB at low frequencies by adjusting its loading to 30 wt.%. This study provides a new insight into promising lightweight microwave-absorbing materials with ultrabroad absorption bandwidths and strong low-frequency absorption.展开更多

Both materials were synthesized and pelletized, thus allowing for a meaningful characterization in view of process scale-up. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). By performing breakthrough experiments, we found that Cu3(BTC)2 separated CO2/CH4 slightly better than MOF-5. Because the crystal structure of Cu3 (BTC)2 includes unsaturated accessible metal sites formed via dehydration, it predominantly interacted with CO2 molecules and more easily captured them. Conversely, MOF-5 with a suitable pore size separated CH4/N2 more efficiently in our breakthrough test.展开更多
