Graphene is highly desirable as an electromagnetic wave absorber because of its high dielectric loss and low density. Nevertheless, pure graphene is found to be non-magnetic and contributes to microwave energy absorption mostly because of its dielectric loss, and the electromagnetic parameters of pure graphene, which are out of balance, result in a bad impedance matching characteristic. In this paper, we report a facile solvothermal route to synthesize laminated magnetic graphene. The results show that there have been significant changes in the electromagnetic properties of magnetic graphene when compared with pure graphene. Especially the dielectric Cole–Cole semicircle suggests that there are Debye relaxation processes in the laminated magnetic graphene, which prove beneficial to enhance the dielectric loss. We also proposed an electromagnetic complementary theory to explain how laminated magnetic graphene, with the combined advantages of graphene and magnetic particles, helps to improve the standard of impedance matching for electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. Besides, microwave absorption properties indicate that the reflection loss of the as-prepared composite is below −10 dB (90% absorption) at 10.4–13.2 GHz with a coating layer thickness of 2.0 mm. This further confirms that the nanoscale surface modification of magnetic particles on graphene makes graphene-based composites have a certain research value in electromagnetic wave absorption.

The photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) is investigated over iron(III)‐based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) structured as MIL‐88B. It is found that MIL‐88B (Fe) MOFs, containing Fe₃‐μ₃‐oxo clusters, can be used as photocatalyst for the reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light irradiation, which is due to the direct excitation of Fe₃‐μ₃‐oxo clusters. The amine‐functionalized MIL‐88B (Fe) MOFs (denoted as NH₂–MIL‐88B (Fe)) shows much higher efficiency for the photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction under visible‐light irradiation compared with MIL‐88B (Fe). It is revealed that in addition to the direct excitation of Fe₃‐μ₃‐oxo clusters, the amine functionality in NH₂–MIL‐88B (Fe) can also be excited and then transferred an electron to Fe₃‐μ₃‐oxo clusters, which is responsible for the enhanced photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction. The enhanced photocatalytic activity for Cr(VI) reduction is also achieved for other two amine‐functionalized iron(III)‐based MOFs (NH₂–MIL‐53 (Fe) and NH₂–MIL‐101 (Fe)).
