Tracking Regulatory Mechanism of Trace Fe on Graphene Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

Polarization and conductance losses are the fundamental dielectric attenuation mechanisms for graphene-based absorbers, but it is not fully understood in revealing the loss mechanism of affect graphene itself. For the first time, the reduced graphene oxide(RGO) based absorbers are developed with regulatory absorption properties and the absorption mechanism of RGO is mainly originated from the carrier injection behavior of trace metal Fe nanosheets on graphene. Accordingly, the minimum reflection loss(RLmin) of Fe/RGO-2composite reaches-53.38 dB(2.45 mm), and the effective absorption bandwidth achieves 7.52 GHz(2.62 mm) with lower filling loading of 2 wt%. Using off-axis electron hologram testing combined with simulation calculation and carrier transport property experiments, we demonstrate here the carrier injection behavior from Fe to graphene at the interface and the induced charge accumulation and rearrangement, resulting in the increased interfacial and dipole polarization and the conductance loss. This work has confirmed that regulating the dielectric property of graphene itself by adding trace metals can not only ensure good impedance matching, but also fully exploit the dielectric loss ability of graphene at low filler content,which opens up an efficient way for designing lightweight absorbers and may be extended to other types materials.

Composites of In/C hexagonal nanorods and graphene nanosheets for high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption

In recent years,electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption has been extensively investigated for solving EMW radiation and pollution.The metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)have attracted attention due to their low density and unique structure,which can meet the requirements of strong reflection loss(RL)and wide absorption bandwidth of EMW absorption materials.In this manuscript,indium nanoparticles/porous carbon(In/C)nanorods composites were prepared via the pyrolysis of nanorods-like In-MOFs at a low temperature of450°C.Indium nanoparticles are evenly attached and embedded on porous carbon.Low electrical conductivity of In/C nanorods is unfavorable to EMW absorption performance,which is due to the low temperature carbonization.Thus,graphene(Gr)nanosheets with high electrical conductivity are introduced to adjust electromagnetic parameters of In/C nanorods for enhancing EMW absorption.The minimum RL of the In/C-Gr-4 composite is up to-43.7 dB with a thin thickness of 1.30 mm.In addition,when the thickness is further reduced to 1.14 mm,the minimum RL of-39.3 dB at 16.1 GHz and effective absorption bandwidth of 3.7 GHz(from 14.3 to 18.0 GHz)can be achieved.This work indicates that In/C-Gr composites show excellent EMW absorption performance.

High-performance electromagnetic wave absorption and electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with multifunctional characters have attracted extensive scientific and technological interest,but they remain a huge challenge.Here,we reported an electrostatic assembly approach for fabricating 2D/1D/0D construction of Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx/carbon nanotubes/Co nanoparticles(Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx/CNTs/Co)nanocomposites with an excellent electromagnetic wave absorption,EMI shielding efficiency,flexibility,hydrophobicity,and photother-mal conversion performance.As expected,a strong reflection loss of-85.8 dB and an ultrathin thickness of 1.4 mm were achieved.Mean-while,the high EMI shielding efficiency reached 110.1 dB.The excel-lent electromagnetic wave absorption and shielding performances were originated from the charge carriers,electric/magnetic dipole polariza-tion,interfacial polarization,natural resonance,and multiple internal reflections.Moreover,a thin layer of polydimethylsiloxane rendered the hydrophilic hierarchical Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx/CNTs/Co hydrophobic,which can prevent the degradation/oxidation of the MXene in high humidity condition.Interestingly,the Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx/CNTs/Co film exhibited a remark-able photothermal conversion performance with high thermal cycle stability and tenability.Thus,the multifunctional Ti_(3)C_(2)Tx/CNTs/Co nanocomposites possessing a unique blend of outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption and EMI shielding,light-driven heating perfor-mance,and flexible water-resistant features were highly promising for the next-generation intelligent electromagnetic attenuation system.

Traditional ceramic materials are generally brittle and not flexible with high production costs,which seriously hinders their practical applications.Multifunctional nanofiber ceramic aerogels are highly desirable for applications in extreme environments,however,the integration of multiple functions in their preparation is extremely challenging.To tackle these challenges,we fabricated a multifunctional SiC@SiO_(2) nanofiber aerogel(SiC@SiO_(2) NFA)with a threedimensional(3D)porous cross-linked structure through a simple chemical vapor deposition method and subsequent heat-treatment process.The as-prepared SiC@SiO_(2) NFA exhibits an ultralow density(~11 mg cm^(-3)),ultra-elastic,fatigue-resistant and refractory performance,high temperature thermal stability,thermal insulation properties,and significant strain-dependent piezoresistive sensing behavior.Furthermore,the SiC@SiO_(2) NFA shows a superior electromagnetic wave absorption performance with a minimum refection loss(RL_(min))value of-50.36 d B and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB_(max))of 8.6 GHz.The successful preparation of this multifunctional aerogel material provides a promising prospect for the design and fabrication of the cutting-edge ceramic materials.

Digital Light Processing 3D-Printed Ceramic Metamaterials for Electromagnetic Wave Absorption

Combining 3D printing with precursor-derived ceramic for fabricating electromagnetic(EM) wave-absorbing metamaterials has attracted great attention. This study presents a novel ultraviolet-curable polysiloxane precursor for digital light processing(DLP) 3D printing to fabricate ceramic parts with complex geometry, no cracks and linear shrinkage. Guiding with the principles of impedance matching, attenuation, and effective-medium theory, we design a crosshelix-array metamaterial model based on the complex permittivity constant of precursor-derived ceramics. The corresponding ceramic metamaterials can be successfully prepared by DLP printing and subsequent pyrolysis process, achieving a low reflection coefficient and a wide effective absorption bandwidth in the X-band even under high temperature. This is a general method that can be extended to other bands, which can be realized by merely adjusting the unit structure of meta-materials. This strategy provides a novel and effective avenue to achieve “target-design-fabricating” ceramic metamaterials, and it exposes the downstream applications of highly efficient and broad EM wave-absorbing materials and structures with great potential applications.

Cobalt ferrite has problems such as poor impedance matching and high density,which results in unsatisfactory electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption performance.In this study,the CoFe_(2)O_(4)@C core-shell structure composite was synthesized by a two-step hydrothermal method.X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,thermogravimetric analysis,and vector network analysis et al.were used to test the structure and EMW absorption properties of CoFe_(2)O_(4)@C composite.The results show that the reflection loss(RL)of the CoFe_(2)O_(4)@C composite reaches the maximum value of25.66 dB at 13.92 GHz,and the effective absorbing band(EAB)is 4.59 GHz(11.20-15.79 GHz)when the carbon mass content is 6.01%.The RL and EAB of CoFe_(2)O_(4)@C composite are increased by 219.55%and 4.59 GHz respectively,and the density is decreased by 20.78%compared with the cobalt ferrite.Such enhanced EMW absorption properties of CoFe_(2)O_(4)@C composite are attributed to the attenuation caused by the strong natural resonance of the cobalt ferrite,moreover,the carbon coating layer adjusts the impedance matching of the composite,and the introduced dipole polarization and interface polarization can cause multiple Debye relaxation processes.

Metal–phenolic coordination crystals derived magnetic hollow carbon spheres for ultrahigh electromagnetic wave absorption

Owing to the tunable compositions and versatile functionality,the development of eco-friendly metal–phenolic coordination crystals derivatives is highly anticipated for electromagnetic wave absorption.In this study,three kinds of magnetic hollow carbon spheres(HCSs)with macro-meso-microporous characteristics,including Fe/HCS,Co/HCS,and CoNi/HCS,are successfully fabricated via the co-operative hard template and self-assembling process,in which magnetic particles are encapsulated in carbon shell matrix after the pyrolysis of metal–polyphenol coordination crystals and further subsequent template removal.On the one hand,hierarchical macro-meso-micropores effectively balance the impedance gap between absorbers and air and introduce structural defects or distortion,leading to matched impedance and enhanced dipolar/defect polarization.On the other hand,wrapped magnetic particles provide uncountable hetero-interfaces and induce ferromagnetic resonance,resulting in strengthened interfacial polarization and additional magnetic loss.In particular,enhanced minimum reflection loss(RL,min)and broadband effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)are achieved with only 10 wt.%filler loading.Specifically,the RL,min and EAB values are-57.5 dB and 7.2 GHz for Fe/HCS,-50.0 dB and 5.8 GHz for Co/HCS,and-52.1 dB and 6.7 GHz for CoNi/HCS,respectively.Moreover,this work provides us a modular-assembly strategy to regulate the hollow cavity of absorbers and simultaneously manipulates the chemical components of absorbers to regulate electromagnetic wave absorption performance.

Magnetic NiFe_(2)O_(4)@FeNi_(3)core-shell nanospheres derived from FeNi-LDH precursor anchoring on rGO nanosheets for enhanced electromagnetic wave absorption

Graphene has been extensively utilized in the domain of electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorption ma-terials because of its excellent electrical conductivity.However,the inferior impedance matching per-formance and the single loss mechanism vastly restrict the application.Hence,it’s an effective strat-egy to solve these issues by introducing magnetic components.Notably,layer double hydroxide(LDH)is an appropriate template to obtain magnetic component materials.Considering that ferromagnetic met-als such as Fe,Co,Ni,and their corresponding metal oxides are usually treated as magnetic compo-nents which are promising candidates for EMW absorption materials.Therefore,in this work,a FeNi-layered double hydroxide-reduced graphene oxide(FeNi-LDH-rGO)aerogel was synthesized through a series of processes such as electrostatic self-assembly,hydrothermal,freeze-drying,and annealing.The magnetic NiFe_(2)O_(4)@FeNi_(3)core-shell nanospheres were obtained from FeNi-LDH precursor,anchoring on rGO nanosheets after the annealing treatment.Furthermore,the effects of different mass ratios of LDH to GO as well as different annealing temperatures of LDH-rGO aerogel on the EMW absorption prop-erty and impedance matching performance were explored.As a consequence,the fabricated ultralight 600LDH-rGO 2:1 aerogel shows a broad effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 7.04 GHz at a thickness of 2.3 mm with a low filling content of only 6 wt%and a low density of 4.4 mg/cm^(3).In conclusion,the synthetic LDH-rGO aerogels offer an effective strategy for preparing EMW absorption materials that own three-dimensional porous network structure and unique magnetic NiFe_(2)O_(4)@FeNi_(3)core-shell struc-ture nanospheres.

The escalating electromagnetic(EM)pollution issues and the demand to elevate military stealth technology make it imperative to develop cost-effective and high-performance electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbing materials.In this paper,the flower-like CuS/γ-Fe_(2)O_(3) van der Waals(vdW)heterostructures have been synthesized via a facile two-step solvothermal approach.The flower-like CuS skeleton increases the attenuation path of EMW while reducing the material density.Different contents ofγ-Fe_(2)O_(3) nanoparticles anchor between the flower-like CuS nanosheets to constitute a heterogeneous structure,which enables dielectric and magnetic loss synergistically to optimize impedance matching and remarkably improve the EMW absorption performance.The minimum reflection loss(RLmin)is-49.36 dB with a thickness of only 1.6 mm and the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)reaches 4.64 GHz(13.36–18 GHz).By adjusting the thickness of the absorber,the EAB can cover 96%of the GHz band.Notably,the superior absorption of-61.53 dB at middle frequency band can be obtained by adjusting the amount of Fe_(2)O_(3) addition.In this study,the adjustment of EM parameters and the optimization of impedance matching have been achieved by constructing a novel vdW heterogeneous structure,which provides fresh ideas and references for the design of high-performance EMW absorbing materials.
