Electromagnetic Microwave

One-dimensional C/Co composite nanofibers derived from ZIF-67 with excellent wideband electromagnetic microwave absorption performance

The rapid advancement of wireless communications, radar systems, and electronic devices has resulted in a substantial increase in electromagnetic interference (EMI), which poses a threat to electronic device performance and human health. This study addresses the urgent need for lightweight materials with strong absorption capacities, wide absorption bandwidths, and low thickness values. For this purpose, ZIF-67-derived C/Co nanofibers were synthesized via electrospinning, dipping, and high-temperature carbonization. Co2+ ions were pre-anchored and encapsulated in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers and are grown by immersion in an organic ligand. Utilizing 0.4 g of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, the amount of encapsulated Co2+ was optimized to provide the greatest electromagnetic wave absorption performance.

Under these conditions, the reflection loss was −49.45 dB, and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth was 6.48 GHz, thereby covering the entire Ku band. The composite material demonstrated a significant improvement in impedance matching and electromagnetic wave dissipation, which was attributed to the uniform dispersion of Co particles and the formation of multi-component heterogeneous interfaces. This study presents a pragmatic method for creating high-performance materials that could potentially reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the aerospace, telecommunications, and defense sectors.

Materials


PAN (Mw = 150,000 g/mol), Cobalt nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO3)2·6H2O), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), and 2-methylimidazole (C4H6N2, 2-M) were purchased from the Aladdin Reagent Co., Ltd. The methanol was acquired from Heng Xing Chemical Reagents. All chemicals and reagents used in the experiment were of high purity and were utilized without any additional treatment.
Preparation of the ZIF-67-derived C/Co nanofibers. The ZIF-67-derived C/Co nanofibers were acquired using the processes of electrospinning, dipping, and calcination.

The XRD patterns of the CNF-Co-2, CNF-Co-4, and CNF-Co-6 samples, as well as the unadulterated pure carbon nanofibers, are exhibited in Fig. 1(b). The prominent peak seen between 20°and 30°in all samples corresponds to the (002) crystallographic plane of the graphite microcrystals within the amorphous carbon of the carbonized PAN. In addition, the diffraction peaks observed at 44.2°, 51.5°, and 75.8° for the three composite samples correspond to the (111), (200), and (220) planes, respectively.

In this study, high-performance C/Co nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning, dipping, and high-temperature carbonization. By adjusting the content of cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, these nanofibers achieved an optimal electromagnetic wave reflection loss of −49.45 dB (4.96 mm), a Co loading of 0.4 g, and a maximum absorption bandwidth of 6.48 GHz (2.65 mm), which covers the entire K band. Various methods were used to analyze and explain the absorption mechanisms of composite nanofibers.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

Network Architecture

An introduction to satellite network architecture Satellite networking is a digital revolution that connects people from across the world instantly -- from enabling real-time communications to making the world a safer place. A satellite is an artificial object put into the Earth's orbit to gather and distribute crucial data. Since the late 1950s, satellites have only transmitted and received data, as bent pipe satellites weren't able to perform other functions. In modern times, a group of satellites in the same orbit forms a satellite network. Satellite networks process data and provide accurate visual and textual information. Unlike terrestrial network infrastructure, satellite network scalability isn't limited by geography and cost. According to a March 2025 report from Goldman Sachs, the global satellite market is expected to hit $108 billion by 2035, growing sevenfold from its current valuation. Satellite networks consist of the following: The ground equipment. The sa...
