Architecting functionalized carbon microtube/carrollite nanocomposite demonstrating significant microwave characteristics.

ABSTRACT: Biomass-derived materials have recently received considerable attention as lightweight, low-cost, and green microwave absorbers. On the other hand, sulfide nanostructures due to their narrow band gaps have demonstrated significant microwave characteristics. In this research, carbon microtubes were fabricated using a biowaste and then functionalized by a novel complementary solvothermal and sonochemistry method. The functionalized carbon microtubes (FCMT) were ornamented by CuCo₂S₄ nanoparticles as a novel spinel sulfide microwave absorber. The prepared structures illustrated narrow energy band gap and deposition of the sulfide structures augmented the polarizability, desirable for dielectric loss and microwave attenuation. Eventually, the architected structures were b
