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: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: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: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.

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:Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are categorized as a new class of microwave absorption (MA) materials owing to their high specific surface area and peculiar electronic properties. In this study, 2D WS2-reduced graphene oxide (WS2-rGO) heterostructure nanosheets were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process; moreover, their dielectric and MA properties were reported for the first time. Remarkably, the maximum reflection loss (RL) of the sample-wax composites containing 40 wt% WS2-rGO was - 41.5 dB at a thickness of 2.7 mm; furthermore, the bandwidth where RL < - 10 dB can reach up to 13.62 GHz (4.38-18 GHz). Synergistic mechanisms derived from the interfacial dielectric coupling and multiple-interface scattering after hybridization of WS2 with rGO were discussed to explain the drastically enhanced microwave absorption performance. The results indicate these lightweight WS2-rGO nanosheets to be potential materials for practical electromagnetic wave-absorbing applications.

Project description:Developing lightweight and broadband microwave absorbers for dealing with serious electromagnetic radiation pollution is a great challenge. Here, a novel Fe-Co/N-doped carbon/reduced graphene oxide (Fe-Co/NC/rGO) composite with hierarchically porous structure was designed and synthetized by in situ growth of Fe-doped Co-based metal organic frameworks (Co-MOF) on the sheets of porous cocoon-like rGO followed by calcination. The Fe-Co/NC composites are homogeneously distributed on the sheets of porous rGO. The Fe-Co/NC/rGO composite with multiple components (Fe/Co/NC/rGO) causes magnetic loss, dielectric loss, resistance loss, interfacial polarization, and good impedance matching. The hierarchically porous structure of the Fe-Co/NC/rGO enhances the multiple reflections and scattering of microwaves. Compared with the Co/NC and Fe-Co/NC, the hierarchically porous Fe-Co/NC/rGO composite exhibits much better microwave absorption performances due to the rational composition and porous structural design. Its minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reaches - 43.26 dB at 11.28 GHz with a thickness of 2.5 mm, and the effective absorption frequency (RL ≤ - 10 dB) is up to 9.12 GHz (8.88-18 GHz) with the same thickness of 2.5 mm. Moreover, the widest effective bandwidth of 9.29 GHz occurs at a thickness of 2.63 mm. This work provides a lightweight and broadband microwave absorbing material while offering a new idea to design excellent microwave absorbers with multicomponent and hierarchically porous structures.

Project description:Traditional magnetic metal and alloy materials suffer from easy oxidation and high density, which hinders their practical application as high-performance microwave absorbers. Lightweight and durability have become new goals in the fabrication of the next generation of microwave absorbers. Herein, we report the synthesis of polypyrrole (PPy) nanosphere/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composites through chemical reduction of self-assembly PPy nanosphere/GO hybrids. PPy nanospheres and GO are integrated effectively by π⁻π interaction of dual conjugated systems. When the mass ratio of PPy nanospheres to rGO is 0.6:1, the resultant composite, PPy/rGO-0.6, presents comparable/superior reflection loss characteristics to those magnetic metals and their related graphene-based composites in previous studies. Electromagnetic analysis reveals that well-matched characteristic impedance, multiple polarization loss, and good conductivity loss are, together, responsible for the excellent microwave absorption performance of PPy/rGO-0.6. More importantly, PPy/rGO-0.6 also exhibits good microwave absorption after being treated at 423 K for a long time. This work provides a new idea for designing and preparing a high-performance microwave absorber with lightweight and durable features.
