The paper presents the analysis of the electromagnetic response of three-dimensional carbon-based porous structures (carbon foam) in the microwave (26–37 GHz) and terahertz (0.1–1 THz) frequency ranges obtained by chemical vapor deposition using nickel foam as a substrate. Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy provide the structural investigations of the obtained carbon films based on a nickel frame. It is shown that due to the nickel catalytic properties, the carbon film represents a sandwich structure in the given synthesis conditions, which consists of multilayer graphene and pyrolytic carbon. According to the analysis of the frequency dependences of reflectance and transmittance of carbon foam with a thickness of 1.6 mm and 300–400 μm pore size, these materials provide a 60% absorption in the microwave range and 100% absorption in the terahertz frequency range. Such thin films used as a carbon skeleton in a combination with flexible polymers can be applied as effective flexible absorbers of radiofrequency radiation.
