摘要

Over the past century, extensive research has been carried out on various types of microwave absorption (MA) materials, primarily emphasizing mechanism, performance, and even toward smart device. However, the deactivation, a crucial concern for practical applications, has long been long-neglected. In this work, an in-depth exploration of the deactivation mechanism reveals a significant competition between metal and oxygen, leading to the replacement of the S-M (M = Ni and Co) bond by a new S─O bond on the surface of absorber. This substitution initiates a series of collapse effect that introduces additional defective sites and diminishes the potential for charge transport. Subsequently, passive and active anti-deactivation strategies are developed to target the deactivation. The passive strategy involved intentionally creating electron-deficient structures at the initial Ni and Co sites in the crystal through the Fe doping engineering, with the objective of preventing the generation of S─O bonds. Furthermore, the active anti-deactivation strategy allows for the precise control of absorber deactivation and reactivation by employing accelerated thermodynamic and kinetic methods, enabling a reversible transformation of S-M through competitive reactions with S─O bonds. Finally, a fast deactivation and reactivation method is first proposed promising to stimulate further innovations and breakthroughs in practical applications.
