• The minimum reflection loss of Co 9 S 8 -DETA at 4.2 GHz frequency reaches −41.6 dB and the effective absorption bandwidth is 4.1 GHz with a thickness of only 1.6 mm. • Co 9 S 8 -DETA organic-inorganic hybrid nanosheets were synthesized by a one-step simple hydrothermal method without further thermal treatment. • The enhanced EMW absorption property of Co 9 S 8 -DETA organic-inorganic hybrid materials expands the idea of EMW property control of EMW absorbing materials by adjusting the structural characteristics of organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Co 9 S 8 -DETA organic-inorganic hybrid materials synthesized by hydrothermal method show an enhanced electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance because of its unique two-dimensional (2D) structure and EMW properties regulated by the interface structure. Using Co 9 S 8 -DETA as a precursor, the organic intercalation DETA can be removed by heat treatment to obtain inorganic Co 9 S 8. Compared with Co 9 S 8 inorganic, Co 9 S 8 -DETA hybrid material assembled in a paraffin matrix with 30 wt.% shows an excellent EMW absorption performance. The minimum reflection loss at 4.2 GHz frequency reaches -41.6 dB and the effective absorption bandwidth is 4.1 GHz with a thickness of only 1.6 mm. The enhanced EMW absorption property of Co 9 S 8 -DETA organic-inorganic hybrid materials expands the idea of EMW property control of EMW absorbing materials by adjusting the structural characteristics of organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

The intense requirement for bifunctional electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials is becoming the urgent focus and upgraded exploration for advanced application of absorbing EMW device in complex and extreme environments. Based on high dielectric loss capacity and superior chemistry inertness of graphite nanosheets, a two-dimensional (2D) graphite nanosheet decorated with graphite encapsulating soft-magnetic Ni 3 Fe nanocapsules was designed and exploited by introducing novel nitrogen catalyst in one-pot non-balance evaporating strategy. Through modulating the impedance matching and further optimal mass ratio, a minimum reflection loss (RL) of −35.8 dB at 7.35 GHz with an absorber thickness of 3.5 mm and a wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.5 GHz (RL ≤ −10 dB), which almost covered whole Ku-band, were realized with an absorber thickness of 2 mm. Combining the prominent EMW absorption, this 2D nanocomposite showed excellent comprehensive anti-corrosion ability to maintain the original microstructure in acidic, neutral and alkaline salty corrosion conditions. The successful exploration of 2D anticorrosive EMW absorber provides a significant insight for rational fabrication of futural bifunctional EMW absorbing devices in complex circumstances.
