A one-step activation-carbonization method was adopted to prepare waste cotton fabric-based carbon wave-absorption materials (CCF) with a porous structure using waste cotton fabrics as raw materials and ZnCl₂ as the activation agent. The impact of different ZnCl₂ mass fraction on the wave absorption performance of CCF was explored. The results showed that ZnCl₂ could effectively enrich the pore structure of CCF and enhance its wave-absorption property. The specific surface area of CCF-10 prepared at a carbonization temperature of 700 ℃ (under N₂ atmosphere) and a ZnCl₂ mass concentration of 10% was as high as 1 310 m²·g^-1, and its minimum reflection loss at a thickness of 2.0 mm reached -35.02 dB with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.6 GHz.
