Metal–Organic Frameworks-Derived FeCo/C–CNT Nanocomposites Modified Epoxy Resin for Electromagnetic Protection Coatings for Buildings

Exploring an efficient electromagnetic protection strategy for buildings is of great significance to solve the problems caused by increasing electromagnetic pollution, as the rapid progress of technology continues. In this work, FeCo alloy/carbon–carbon nanotube (FeCo/C–CNT) nanocomposites, with significant microwave absorption performance, were successfully synthesized using a simple pyrolysis method involving FeCo–ZIF MOFs precursors and added to epoxy resin to prepare a novel electromagnetic wave absorption (EWA) coating. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of the coating applied on the surface of the ceramic tiles was −23.89 dB at 11.37 GHz and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) reached 8.85 GHz. Through microscopic characterization and analysis of the electromagnetic parameters of the FeCo/C–CNT nanocomposites, it was found that the EWA coating has an ultrabroad band wave absorption effect, mainly due to the comprehensive advantages of the polarization loss from CNTs, impedance matching, the dual loss synergy effect, and multiple reflection between the FeCo alloys, the carbon layer, and the CNTs. This study has successfully developed high-performance EWA materials and demonstrated the feasibility of an EWA coating applied to building surfaces, contributing to the improvement of electromagnetic protection functions of buildings.
