Boosted electromagnetic wave absorption performance from synergistic induced polarization of SiC_(NWs)@MnO_(2)@PPy heterostructures

In the last decade,electromagnetic pollution has caused people’s considerable attention.Developing absorbing material with low cost,lightweight,simple preparation,and high electromagnetic attenuation efficiency has become a feasible means to deal with this problem.In this work,core–shell SiC_(NWs)@MnO_(2)@PPy(NWs:nanowires,PPy:polypyrrole)heterostructures composed of SiC nanowires core,MnO_(2)nanosheets inter-layer,and PPy coating were successfully prepared through chemical vapor deposition and two-step electrodeposition process.Taking advantage of the interfacial polarization and dipole polarization,the obtained product displays excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performances with the minimum reflection loss(RLmin)of−50.59 dB when the matching thickness is 2.41 mm,and the optimal effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)value reaches to 6.64 GHz at a matching thickness of 2.46 mm,revealing that the SiC_(NWs)@MnO_(2)@PPy nanocomposite could be served as a promising electromagnetic wave absorbing material.On the basis of systematic analysis concerning the electromagnetic parameters,the dissipation process of the incident electromagnetic wave was demonstrated reasonably,which may provide a referable preparation strategy for novel heterostructures,especially nonmagnetic lightweight absorbing material.
