Biomass carbon derived from pine nut shells decorated with NiO nanoflakes for enhanced microwave absorption properties.

ABSTRACT: Electromagnetic absorption materials have gained increasing attention. In this study, we report NiO decorated biomass porous carbon derived from pine nut shells as a promising microwave absorbing material by a facile strategy. The NiO/biomass porous carbon (BPC) is thermally converted from Ni(OH)₂/BPC with BPC as the base for precipitation. All products were characterized by XRD, Raman, and SEM techniques, which reveals that the NiO nanoflakes were uniformly self-assembled on the surface of the activated carbon. Compared with counterparts of pure Ni(OH)₂ and Ni(OH)₂/BPC, a large reflection loss peak of -33.8 dB at 16.4 GHz is achieved for the NiO/BPC composites, and the absorption bandwidth less than -10 dB can reach up to about 6.7 GHz (from 11.3 to 18.0 G
