Abstract: The highly efficient electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing metal-free and carbon-rich ceramics derived from hyperbranched polycarbosilazanes were presented in this contribution. The novel metal-free hyperbranched polycarbosilazanes with pendant cyano groups (hb-PCSZ-cyano) were synthesized through aminolysis reaction and subsequent Michael addition reaction, i.e. cyanoethylation reaction. As metal-free preceramic precursors, the pyrolysis of hb-PCSZ-cyano under high temperature and argon atmosphere generated carbon-rich Si-C-N multiphase ceramics. The ceramics reserve amorphous structure even at high temperature. The introduction of cyano groups in precursors leads to numerous sp2 carbons and interface polarization in ceramics and favors the EM wave absorption performance. The minimum reflection coefficient (RC) value of Si-C-N multiphase ceramic is -59.59 dB at 12.23 GHz when the sample thickness is 2.30 mm, which means >99.99% electromagnetic waves can be absorbed. The effective absorption bandwidth (RC below -10 dB) is 4.2 GHz, covering the whole X-band (8.2?12.4 GHz). The EM wave absorption property is very excellent in comparison to current electromagnetic wave absorbing materials including transition metal induced nanocrystals-containing ceramics. The carbon-rich Si-C-N ceramic derived from metal-free precursors provides new strategy for highly efficient EM wave absorbing functional materials with great potential in electronic devices, antenna housings and radomes in harsh environments.
