Multi-functional carbon fiber (CF) based composites have great potential as new-type microwave absorption materials (MAMs). However, it was still a huge challenge to integrate antioxidation and MA properties into CF based composites. Herein, the SiOC ceramics coating modified carbon fibers (SiOC/CFs) were prepared by a polymer precursor pyrolysis method. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that the SiOC coating was composed of SiOC, SiO, and amorphous carbon phases. The SiOC ceramics as dual-functional coating not only heightened the oxidation temperature from 415 °C to 890 °C, but also highly improved the microwave absorbing ability from -12.60 dB to -47.50 dB. The enhanced MA performance could be attributed to multiple reflections in the cross-linked structure, various polarization relaxation processes, and the favorable impedance matching effect. The SiOC ceramics coating as a semiconductor could suppress the skin effect originating from the cross-linked CF network, thus leading to a favorable impedance matching behavior.

The development of high-performance electromagnetic wave absorbers is critical for mitigating electromagnetic pollution in modern electronic and communication systems. Here, a scalable strategy is developed to fabricate hierarchically porous, multiphase Si-based ceramics (Si-O-C) via one-step activation of carbon-rich polycarbosilane precursors. The resulting material integrates β-SiC crystals, amorphous SiOC, and conductive carbon within a tunable porous architecture.

In most commercial lithium-ion batteries, graphite remains the primary anode material. However, its theoretical specific capacity is only 372 mAh∙g, which falls short of meeting the demands of high-performance electronic devices. Silicon anodes, despite boasting an ultra-high theoretical specific capacity of 4200 mAh∙g, suffer from significant volume expansion (>300%) during cycling, leading to severe capacity fade and limiting their commercial viability.

We have developed near-infrared (NIR) thermal stereolithography (SLA) to print 2.5D-structured polymer-derived ceramic (PDC) composites with high SiC particle loadings in a PDC matrix. When combined with polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP), this approach overcomes the challenges associated with traditional ultraviolet-based printing techniques when printing composite resins, namely, low light penetration, limited particle loadings, high shrinkage, and weak mechanical properties.

SiO aerogel fibers are widely regarded as one of the lightest solid materials, exhibiting exceptional thermal insulation properties. However, achieving both high elasticity and spinnability remains a significant challenge in the fabrication process. A scalable and efficient vortex-assisted multi-stage spinning strategy has been employed to fabricate Silica Nanofiber Aerogel Fibers@Polysiloxane/Aramid Aerogel Fibers (SiNAFs@PSO/Aramid).

Silicon oxycarbide coatings are the subject of research due to their exceptional optical, electronic, anti-corrosion, etc., properties, which make them attractive for a number of applications. In this article, we present a study on the synthesis and characterization of thin SiOC:H silicon oxycarbide films with the given composition and properties from a new organosilicon precursor octamethyl-1,4-dioxatetrasilacyclohexane (D) and its macromolecular equivalent-poly(oxybisdimethylsily1ene) (POBDMS).
