The preparation of yolk-shell microwave absorption materials with low density and excellent microwave absorption property requires reasonable design and economical manufacture. In this study, an efficient strategy without any templates or reducing gases has been designed to fabricate multi-core yolk-shell Co@C nanospheres by high temperature carbonization. The results showed that CoO was completely reduced by the carbon shell to metal cobalt at temperatures above 750 °C. This unique multi-core yolk-shell structure with shell of 600 nm and multiple cores of tens of nanometers can provide sufficient interface and space to reflect and scatter electromagnetic waves. At the same time, the metal cobalt layer and carbon layer provide magnetic loss ability and dielectric loss ability, respectively, making the composite show good wave absorption performance. The minimal RL value of samples carbonized at 750 °C reaches -40 dB and the efficient absorption band reaches 9 GHz with the thickness ranges from 2-9 mm. Therefore, this is a facile, effective and economical strategy to prepare yolk-shell structure, which provides a new idea for the preparation of microwave absorption materials.

It is a major challenge to obtain broadband microwave absorption (MA) properties using low dielectric or magnetic nanoparticle-decorated carbon composites due to the limited single conductive loss or polarization loss of the carbon materials used as substrates. Novel pure cellulose-derived graphite carbon (CGC) materials can be used as an exceptional substrate option due to their special defective graphitic carbon structure, which provides both conduction and polarization loss. Herein, CGC@ZnO composites were first synthesized by atomic layer deposition (ALD) for use as microwave absorbents.

We report a green approach to prepare carbon dots (CDs) with fresh tomatoes as carbon sources and amino acids as dopants (ACDs) by a microwave assisted method. The synthesised CDs were analysed by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy, high resolution transmission electron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photo electron spectroscopy. An MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of CDs toward L929 cells and found that CDs exhibit low cytotoxicity.

Two-dimensional (2D) optomechanical crystals (OMCs) are favorable candidates that satisfy those requirements. 2D OMCs enable sufficiently high mechanical frequency (1∼10 GHz) to make the resolved-sideband regime achievable, a prerequisite for many quantum protocols.

Microwave absorption materials (MAMs) gradually exhibit crucial applications in reducing electromagnetic wave (EMW) pollution, avoiding EMW information leakage, and solving radar stealth. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived materials are flourishing in the domain of EMW absorption attributed to their especial structures, heteroatom doping and controllable components. Herein, various strategies to enhance the EMW absorption ability of MOFs-derived materials are outlined, covering structural design and compositional regulation.

Synthetic antidiabetic drugs are often associated with various adverse side effects, including hypoglycemia, nausea, gastrointestinal disturbances, headaches, and even liver damage. In contrast, plant-derived natural antidiabetic bioactive compounds typically exhibit lower toxicity and fewer side effects and have been reported to aid effectively in diabetes management. These plant extracts regulate diabetes by restoring pancreatic function, enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting intestinal glucose absorption, and facilitating insulin dependent metabolism.
