A three-dimensional hollow NiCo2O4 structure was successfully prepared with a precipitation-hydrothermal method. A balance between magnetic and dielectric losses was achieved by using a hollow NiCo2O4 structure loaded with benzotriazole (BTA), and thus the performance of electromagnetic waves was attenuated. The minimum reflection loss value of BTA@NiCo2O4 at 16.01 GHz was −35.39 dB when the absorber thickness was 2 mm, at which the absorption bandwidth for an RL of less than −10 dB is as high as 4.64 GHz. The absorption mechanism was characterized by the synergy among interfacial polarization, multiple reflection, and dipole polarization enhancement between NiCo2O4 and BTA. Interestingly, the epoxy/BTA@NiCo2O4 coating not only exhibited an outstanding microwave absorption (MA) performance but also has excellent anticorrosion and self-healing properties, as shown by the results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. This work would be very helpful to the development of novel coatings with excellent MA performance and anticorrosion and self-healing properties.
