Rare earth lanthanum pinning effect for corrosion resistance ultraefficient microwave absorption FeCo@rGO composites

Magnetic metal absorbers exhibit remarkable microwave absorption capacity.However,their practical application is severely limited due to their susceptibility to corrosion,particularly in marine environ-ments.To address this challenge,we propose a novel approach involving the modification and control of FeCo/rGO microwave absorbers using rare earth lanthanum(La).This strategy aims to achieve both high-performance microwave absorption and enhanced resistance to marine corrosion.In this study,we employ a La_(2)O_(3) modifying control strategy to refine the FeCo magnetic particles and coat them with CoFe_(2)O_(4) on the surface,leveraging the pinning effect of in situ generated La_(2)O_(3) .This process enhances the interface polarization of the absorbers,thereby improving their electromagnetic performance and ma-rine corrosion resistance.Consequently,the La_(2)O_(3) modified FeCo@rGO composites exhibit broadband ab-sorption,covering a wide frequency range of 6.11 GHz at 1.55 mm.Notably,the electromagnetic proper-ties of the La_(2)O_(3) modified FeCo@rGO absorbers remain stable even after prolonged exposure to a 3.5 wt% NaCI solution,simulating marine conditions,for at least 15 days.Furthermore,we perform first-principle calculations on FeCo and FeCo-O to validate the corrosion resistance of the La_(2)O_(3) modified FeCo@rGO composites at the atomic level.This comprehensive investigation explores the control of rare earth lan-thanum modification on the size of magnetic metal particles,enabling efficient electromagnetic wave absorption and marine corrosion resistance.The results of this study provide a novel and facile strategy for the control of microwave absorbers,offering promising prospects for future research and development in this field.
