RESUMO
A series of CoNi/C nanocomposite fibers with different Co and Ni ratios were successfully prepared by electrospinning and carbonization techniques for the study of electromagnetic microwave (EMW) absorbing materials. We systematically studied the influence of Co and Ni content on the microstructure, chemical composition, magnetic properties, and EMW absorption characteristics of the samples. The results showed that CoNi/C nanocomposite fibers obtained excellent EMW absorption ability through the reasonable design of the composition, and the Co/Ni ratio significantly affected the microstructure and EMW absorption performance. When the Co/Ni ratio was 1/3, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) is -71.2 dB (2.4 mm, 13.4 GHz), and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RLï¼-10 dB) is up to 5.9 GHz (2.2 mm, 12.1-18 GHz), covering almost the entire Ku band. This study demonstrated the enormous potential of one-dimensional structure in the field of EMW absorption. In addition, the CoNi/C nanocomposite fiber synthesized using a straightforward and low-cost method not only has excellent EMW absorption performance but also has the potential for practical application. The results of this study provide a simple and effective approach for designing high-performance EMW absorbing materials.
RESUMO
In recent years, electromagnetic pollution has become more and more serious, and there is an urgent need for microwave absorbing materials with superior performance. Prussian blue analogue (PBA) is a metal organic framework material with the advantages of diverse morphology and tunable composition. Therefore, PBA has attracted a lot of attention in the field of microwave absorption. In this work, PBA was coated on the surface of carbon composites by hydrothermal method, and then PPy was compounded on its surface after carbonization treatment to construct hierarchical core-shell CoC@CoFe/C@PPy fibers. The fibers have Co-doped C composites as the core and CoFe/C decorated with PPy as the shell. This unique hierarchical structure and various microwave absorption mechanisms are described in detail. The microwave absorption performance is optimized by adjusting the filling of the sample. The best microwave absorption performances are achieved at 25 wt% filling of CoC@CoFe/C@PPy. At a thickness of just 1.69 mm, CoC@CoFe/C@PPy fiebrs have a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -64.32 dB. When the thickness is 1.88 mm, CoC@CoFe/C@PPy achieves a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABmax) of 5.38 GHz. The results indicate that the CoC@CoFe/C@PPy composite fibers have a great potential in the field of microwave absorption.
RESUMO
At present, the magnetic metal/carbon composites have been widely explored for microwave absorption (MA), which effectively integrate the characteristics of magnetic and dielectric materials. As a typical material, metal-organic framework (MOF) shows tremendous potential as a precursor or template. However, its development is limited by the inferior impedance matching. Herein, a novel rod-like Fe/Fe3O4/FeN/N-doped carbon (FON/NC) composite was synthesized via dual-ligand strategy and following calcination. The outer polypyrrole (PPy) shell, obtained by a facile polymerization method, effectively optimized the impedance matching and observably enhanced the MA capacity. Both the multi-component loss mechanism and unique porous core-shell structures of MOF-derived composites were beneficial for microwave attenuation. The effects of filler loadings (20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt% and 35 wt%) on electromagnetic (EM) properties of FON/NC@PPy composites were discussed. Remarkably, as-obtained composites exhibited a minimum reflection loss (RL) value of -60.08 dB at the layer thickness of merely 1.44 mm and the widest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ -10 dB) of 5.06 GHz at 1.64 mm with 30 wt% filler loading. This work provides a great reference for designing MOF-derived absorbers with high MA performance.
