Project description:Although many materials have been studied for the purpose of microwave absorption, SiO2 has never been reported as a good candidate. In this study, we present for the first time that doped, microwave conductive SiO2 nanoparticles can possess an excellent microwave absorbing performance. A large microwave reflection loss (RL) of -55.09?dB can be obtained. The large microwave absorption originates mainly from electrical relaxation rather than the magnetic relaxation of the incoming microwave field. The electrical relaxation is attributed to a large electrical conductivity that is enabled by the incorporation of heterogeneous (N, C and Cl) atoms. The removal of the magnetic susceptibility only results in a negligible influence of the microwave absorption. In contrast, the removal of the heterogeneous atoms leads to a large decrease in the electrical conductivity and microwave absorption performance. Meanwhile, the microwave absorption characteristics can be largely adjusted with a change of the thickness, which provides large flexibility for various microwave absorption applications.

Project description:A lightweight microwave-absorbing material with a strong electromagnetic-absorption capability of practical significance in the field of electromagnetic compatibility was obtained by adjusting the ratio of Fe3O4 and rGO. A nanoparticle material with a chain-typed structure consisting of a combination of Fe3O4 and rGO was produced by a hydrothermal method under an applied magnetic field. The electromagnetic loss property of the Fe3O4@rGO composites is studied in the frequency range from 2 to 18 GHz. In addition, the reflection loss and the mechanism of microwave absorption are explored. By changing the amounts of rGO, the electromagnetic loss of the Fe3O4@rGO composites can be effectively regulated, which obtain better reflection loss. The minimum reflection loss of the Fe3O4@rGO composites is -49.4 dB at 16.2 GHz only with a thickness of 1.75 mm. Thus, the Fe3O4@rGO composites have an extremely thin thickness and a strong electromagnetic wave absorption capacity, which is a candidate for the development of lightweight magnetic absorbing materials.

Project description:To reduce electromagnetic pollution as well as increase the accuracy of high-precision electronic equipment, more attention has been paid to new electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials, which have the advantages of strong absorption, wide absorption bands, and a narrow thickness. In this study, a novel ternary type of the NiS2@rGO/polypyrrole (PPy) sandwich-like structured composites was synthesized via a facile two-step method, in which the hydrothermal method was used to prepare NiS2@rGO binary composites and then the in situ polymerization method was used to synthesize the PPy, which acted as the outer layer of the sandwich-like structure. The morphologies and electromagnetic absorption performance of the NiS2@rGO/PPy were measured and investigated. A sample with 6 wt% NiS2@rGO/PPy loading paraffin-composite obtained an outstanding reflection loss (RL) of -58.7 dB at 16.44 GHz under a thickness of 2.03 mm. Simultaneously, the effective electromagnetic wave absorption bandwidth for RL < -10 dB, which covered 7.04 to 18.00 GHz (10.96 GHz), was achieved by changing the thickness of the absorber from 2.0 to 3.5 mm. The results not only suggest that the NiS2@rGO/PPy composite has excellent performance in the field of EMW absorption but also prove that the novel sandwich-like structure can contribute to appropriate impedance matching through multiple relaxation and interfacial polarization processes.

Project description:In the design of electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing materials, it is still a great challenge to optimize the relationship between the attenuation capability and impedance matching synergistically. Herein, a 3D porous MoS2 /MXene hybrid aerogel architecture with conformal heterogeneous interface has been built by atomic layer deposition (ALD) based on specific porous templates to optimize the microwave absorption (MA) performance comprehensively. The original porous structure of pristine Ti3 C2 Tx aerogel used as templates can be preserved well during ALD fabrication, which prolongs the reflection and scattering path and ameliorates the dielectric loss. Meanwhile, plenty of heterointerfaces between MoS2 and Ti3 C2 Tx have been fabricated based on conformally ALD-deposited MoS2 with controlled thickness on the porous surfaces of the templates, which can effectively optimize the impedance matching and transform its response to EM waves from shielding into absorbing. Moreover, the interaction between the attenuation capability and impedance matching can also be modulated by the number of ALD cycle in MoS2 fabrication. After optimization, MoS2 /MXene hybrid aerogel obtained under 300 ALD cycles shows a minimum reflection loss of -61.65 dB at the thickness of 4.53 mm. In addition, its preferable lightweight, high surface area, mechanical, and hydrophobicity properties will also be conducive to further practical applications.

Project description:Tunable frequency is highly sought-after task of researcher, because of the potential for applications in selecting frequency, absorber, imaging and biomedical diagnosis. Here, we report the original observation of thermal frequency shift of dielectric relaxation in La/Nd doped BiFeO3 (BFO) in X-band from 300 to 673 K. It exhibits an unexpected result: the relaxation shifts to lower frequency with increasing temperature. The relaxation maximally shifts about a quarter of X-band. The nonlinear term of lattice vibration plays an important role in the frequency shift. The frequency shift leads to tuning microwave absorption, which almost covers the whole X-band by changing temperature. Meanwhile, the great increase of dielectric loss of La/Nd doped BFO due to thermal excited electron hopping enhances microwave absorption above ~460 and ~480 K, respectively. The microwave absorption of La/Nd doped BFO surpasses -20 dB at 673 K, and the minimum reflection loss of La doped BFO reaches -39 dB. These results open a new pathway to develop BFO-based materials in electromagnetic functional materials and devices for tunable frequency, stealth and thermal imaging at long wavelength.

Project description:Materials that are able to switch microwave radiation are strongly desired for their potential applications in electronic devices. In this paper, we show the spin-dependant interaction of spin-crossover materials with microwave radiation, namely, the ability of coordination compounds [Fe(NH2trz)3]Br2 and [Fe(NH2trz)3](NO3)2 that undergo a cooperative spin transition between low-spin and high-spin states to operate as thermoswitchable microwave absorbers. The characteristics of the microwave reflection and transmission of these spin-crossover complexes were investigated at variable temperatures. The evolution of both the transmission and reflection spectra in the 26-37 GHz frequency band within the temperature range of spin crossover showed significant differences in the interaction of microwave radiation with the high-spin and low-spin forms of the compounds. The microwave transmission coefficient shows a notable decrease upon transition to the high-spin state, while the reflection coefficient can be both increased or decreased on the characteristic frequencies during the spin transition. The different microwave absorbing properties of the low-spin and high-spin forms are found to be associated with a notable microwave permittivity change upon spin crossover. The switchable microwave reflection/transmission correlates well with the transition characteristics found in the optical and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. These results widen the spectroscopic range in which spin-crossover materials can be applied and contribute to the creation of a preliminary database of the microwave absorbing properties of spin-crossover complexes.

Project description:How to effectively regulate the electromagnetic parameters of magnetic composites to achieve better microwave absorption (MA) performances is still a serious challenge. Herein, we constructed nanocomposites composed of magnetic constituents and carbon materials to obtain high-efficiency electromagnetic wave absorbers. Self-assembled, multi-interfacial, and porous RGO/MWCNT/Fe3O4 hybrids (GMFs) were synthesized via in situ one-pot solvothermal method. The growth mechanism of the GMFs would be that the defects on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) provide sites for the crystallization of Fe3O4. Also, the RGO and Fe3O4 were further linked by the cross-connection of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which acted as a bridge. The MA mechanism of GMFs was studied while considering the synergistic effects between the three components (RGO, MWCNT, and raspberry-shaped Fe3O4) and their multi-interfacial and porous structure. Also, the MA performance of the GMFs was conducted. The GMFs exhibited a maximum reflection loss (RL) value of -61.29 dB at 10.48 GHz with a thickness of 2.6 mm when the contents of RGO and MWCNT were 6.3 and 1.3 wt %, respectively. The RL values (≤-10 dB) were observed to be in the range of 8.96-12.32 GHz, and the effective microwave absorption bandwidth was tunable from 3.52 to 18 GHz by changing the sample thickness. The results revealed that the multi-interfacial and porous structure of the GMFs is beneficial to MA performance by inducing multiscatterings. Since no toxic solvents were used, this method is environmentally friendly and has potential for large-scale production. The prepared GMFs may have a wide range of applications in MA materials against electromagnetic interference pollution.

Project description:Graphene has been regarded as one of the most promising two-dimensional nanomaterials. Even so, graphene was still faced with several key issues such as impedance mismatching and narrow bandwidth, which have hindered the practical applications of graphene-based nanocomposites in the field of microwave absorption materials. Herein, a series of Si-modified rGO@Fe3O4 composites were investigated and fabricated by a simple method. On one hand, the degree of defects in graphene carbon could be tuned by different silane coupling reagents, which were beneficial to enhancing the dielectric loss. On the other hand, the spherical Fe3O4 nanoparticles provided the magnetic loss resonance, which contributed to controlling the impedance matching. Subsequently, the electromagnetic absorption (EMA) properties of Si-modified rGO@Fe3O4 composites with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-co-HFP) were investigated in this work. As a result, the Si(2)-rGO@Fe3O4/PVDF-co-HFP composite exhibited the excellent EMA performance in the range of 2-18 GHz. The maximum reflection loss (RLmax) reached -32.1 dB at 3.68 GHz at the thickness of 7 mm and the effective absorption frequency bandwidth for reflection loss (RL) below -10 dB was 4.8 GHz at the thickness of 2 mm. Furthermore, the enhanced absorption mechanism revealed that the high-efficiency absorption performance of Si(2)-rGO@Fe3O4/PVDF-co-HFP composite was attributed to the interference absorption (quarter-wave matching model) and the synergistic effects between Si(2)-rGO@Fe3O4 and PVDF-co-HFP. This work provides a potential strategy for the fabrication of the high-performance EMA materials.

Project description:Developing ultrabroad radar-infrared compatible stealth materials has turned into a research hotspot, which is still a problem to be solved. Herein, the copper sulfide wrapped by reduced graphene oxide to obtain three-dimensional (3D) porous network composite aerogels (CuS@rGO) were synthesized via thermal reduction ways (hydrothermal, ascorbic acid reduction) and freeze-drying strategy. It was discovered that the phase components (rGO and CuS phases) and micro/nano structure (microporous and nanosheet) were well-modified by modulating the additive amounts of CuS and changing the reduction ways, which resulted in the variation of the pore structure, defects, complex permittivity, microwave absorption, radar cross section (RCS) reduction value and infrared (IR) emissivity. Notably, the obtained CuS@rGO aerogels with a single dielectric loss type can achieve an ultrabroad bandwidth of 8.44 GHz at 2.8 mm with the low filler content of 6 wt% by a hydrothermal method. Besides, the composite aerogel via the ascorbic acid reduction realizes the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of - 60.3 dB with the lower filler content of 2 wt%. The RCS reduction value can reach 53.3 dB m2, which effectively reduces the probability of the target being detected by the radar detector. Furthermore, the laminated porous architecture and multicomponent endowed composite aerogels with thermal insulation and IR stealth versatility. Thus, this work offers a facile method to design and develop porous rGO-based composite aerogel absorbers with radar-IR compatible stealth.

Project description:We present a systematic study on the optical and magneto-optical properties of Ni/SiO2/Au dimer lattices. By considering the excitation of orthogonal dipoles in the Ni and Au nanodisks, we analytically demonstrate that the magnetoplasmonic response of dimer lattices is governed by a complex interplay of near- and far-field interactions. Near-field coupling between dipoles in Ni and low-loss Au enhances the polarizabilty of single dimers compared to that of isolated Ni nanodisks. Far-field diffractive coupling in periodic lattices of these two particle types enlarges the difference in effective polarizability further. This effect is explained by an inverse relationship between the damping of collective surface lattice resonances and the imaginary polarizability of individual scatterers. Optical reflectance measurements, magneto-optical Kerr effect spectra, and finite-difference time-domain simulations confirm the analytical results. Hybrid dimer arrays supporting intense plasmon excitations are a promising candidate for active magnetoplasmonic devices.
