MOF-Derived Ni_1-xCo_x@Carbon with Tunable Nano-Microstructure as Lightweight and Highly Efficient Electromagnetic Wave Absorber.

ABSTRACT: Intrinsic electric-magnetic property and special nano-micro architecture of functional materials have a significant effect on its electromagnetic wave energy conversion, especially in the microwave absorption (MA) field. Herein, porous Ni_1-xCo_x@Carbon composites derived from metal-organic framework (MOF) were successfully synthesized via solvothermal reaction and subsequent annealing treatments. Benefiting from the coordination, carbonized bimetallic Ni-Co-MOF maintained its initial skeleton and transformed into magnetic-carbon composites with tunable nano-micro structure. During the thermal decomposition, generated magnetic particles/clusters acted as a catalyst to promote the carbon sp² arrangement, forming special core-shell architecture. Therefore, pure Ni@C microspheres displayed strong MA behaviors than other Ni_1-xCo_x@Carbon composites. Surprisingly, magnetic-dielectric Ni@C composites possessed the strongest reflection loss value - 59.5 dB and the effective absorption frequency covered as wide as 4.7 GHz. Meanwhile, the MA capacity also can be boosted by adjusting the absorber content from 25% to 40%. Magnetic-dielectric synergy effect of MOF-derived Ni_1-xCo_x@Carbon microspheres was confirmed by the off-axis electron holography technology making a thorough inquiry in the MA mechanism.

All-Around Electromagnetic Wave Absorber Based on Ni-Zn Ferrite.

Project description:Exploring a convenient, scalable, yet effective broadband electromagnetic wave absorber (EMA) in the gigahertz (GHz) region is of high interest today to quench its expanding demand. Ni-Zn ferrite is considered as a potential EMA; however, their performance study as a scalable effective millimeter-length absorber is still limited. Herein, we investigated EM wave attenuation properties of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 (NZF) samples substituting Mn ion in place of Fe3+ as well as Zn2+ within a widely used frequency range of 0.1-9 GHz. Through composition optimization, Ni0.5Zn0.4Mn0.1Fe2O4 (NZM0.1F) EMA demonstrates excellent microwave absorption performance accompanied by simultaneous maximum reflection loss (RL) of -50.2 dB and wide BW of 6.8 GHz (with RL < -10 dB, i.e., attenuation >90%) at an optimum thickness of 6 mm. Moreover, the attenuation constant significantly increases from ∼217 to 301 Np/m with Mn doping. The key contribution arises from magnetic-dielectric properties synergy along with enhanced dielectric and magnetic losses owing to cation chemistry and site occupation in spinel NZF. In addition, porosity is induced in the system by a controlled two-step heat treatment process that promotes total loss with multiple internal reflections of the EM wave. Furthermore, RL is simulated by varying incident EM wave angles for the NZM0.1F sample displaying its angle insensitivity up to 50°. Our results reveal NZM0.1F as a futuristic environment-friendly microwave absorber material that is suitable for practical high-frequency applications.

Microstructure induced dielectric loss in lightweight Fe3O4 foam for electromagnetic wave absorption.

Project description:Fe3O4 has been extensively applied in electromagnetic wave absorption field profiting from its advantageous magnetic loss, low cost and environmental benignity. Nevertheless, the inherent drawbacks of high density, low permittivity and easily magnetic aggregation are still the obstacles for pristine Fe3O4 becoming ideal absorbents. To overcome such limitations, a design mentality of constructing 3D structure shaped by curled 2D porous surface is proposed in this study. 3D structure overcomes the easy-agglomeration issue of 2D materials and meanwhile maintains their conductivity. The complex permittivity of samples is regulated by adjusting the microstructure of Fe3O4 to achieve optimum impedance matching. Defect induced polarization and interfacial polarization are the main loss mechanisms. Impressively, the density of S0.5 is only 0.05078 g/cm3 and the effective absorption bandwidth is up to 6.24 GHz (11.76-18 GHz) at 1.8 mm. This work provided a new insight for structurally improving the EMW absorption performance of pure magnetic materials.

Defect- and Interface-Induced Dielectric Loss in ZnFe2O4/ZnO/C Electromagnetic Wave Absorber.

Project description:Controlling defects and interfaces in composite absorbers can effectively regulate electromagnetic (EM) parameters and enhance the electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption ability, but the mechanism still needs to be further elucidated. In this study, ZnFe2O4/ZnO/C composite was synthesized via the hydrothermal method followed by post-annealing in different atmospheres. Defects and interfaces were characterized by Raman, PL spectroscopy, XPS and TEM, and their relationship with dielectric loss and EMW absorption performance was discussed in detail. Results show that the N2-annealed ZnFe2O4/ZnO/C composite with abundant defects and interfaces as well as an optimized composition exhibits excellent EMW dissipation ability, with a RLmin value of -17.4 dB and an fe of 3.85 GHz at a thickness of 2.28 mm. The excellent EMW absorption performance originates from suitable impedance matching, significant conduction loss and strong dielectric loss (interfacial polarization, diploe polarization and defect polarization) dominated by lattice defects and interfaces. This study provides a view into the relationship between defects, interfaces, EM parameters and EMW absorption ability, and also suggests an effective way to promote EMW dissipation ability of the absorbers by controlling defects and interfaces.

A Nano-Micro Engineering Nanofiber for Electromagnetic Absorber, Green Shielding and Sensor.

Project description:HighlightsThe role of electron transport characteristics in electromagnetic (EM) attenuation can be generalized to other EM functional materials. The integrated functions of efficient EM absorption and green shielding open the view of EM multifunctional materials. A novel sensing mechanism based on intrinsic EM attenuation performance and EM resonance coupling effect is revealed. It is extremely unattainable for a material to simultaneously obtain efficient electromagnetic (EM) absorption and green shielding performance, which has not been reported due to the competition between conduction loss and reflection. Herein, by tailoring the internal structure through nano-micro engineering, a NiCo2O4 nanofiber with integrated EM absorbing and green shielding as well as strain sensing functions is obtained. With the improvement of charge transport capability of the nanofiber, the performance can be converted from EM absorption to shielding, or even coexist. Particularly, as the conductivity rising, the reflection loss declines from - 52.72 to - 10.5 dB, while the EM interference shielding effectiveness increases to 13.4 dB, suggesting the coexistence of the two EM functions. Furthermore, based on the high EM absorption, a strain sensor is designed through the resonance coupling of the patterned NiCo2O4 structure. These strategies for tuning EM performance and constructing devices can be extended to other EM functional materials to promote the development of electromagnetic driven devices.

Non-Magnetic Bimetallic MOF-Derived Porous Carbon-Wrapped TiO2/ZrTiO4 Composites for Efficient Electromagnetic Wave Absorption.

Project description:HighlightsNon-magnetic bimetallic MOF-derived porous carbon-wrapped TiO2/ZrTiO4 composites are firstly used for efficient electromagnetic wave absorption. The electromagnetic wave absorption mechanisms including enhanced interfacial polarization and essential conductivity are intensively discussed. Modern communication technologies put forward higher requirements for electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption materials. Metal-organic framework (MOF) derivatives have been widely concerned with its diverse advantages. To break the mindset of magnetic-derivative design, and make up the shortage of monometallic non-magnetic derivatives, we first try non-magnetic bimetallic MOFs derivatives to achieve efficient EMW absorption. The porous carbon-wrapped TiO2/ZrTiO4 composites derived from PCN-415 (TiZr-MOFs) are qualified with a minimum reflection loss of - 67.8 dB (2.16 mm, 13.0 GHz), and a maximum effective absorption bandwidth of 5.9 GHz (2.70 mm). Through in-depth discussions, the synergy of enhanced interfacial polarization and other attenuation mechanisms in the composites is revealed. Therefore, this work confirms the huge potentials of non-magnetic bimetallic MOFs derivatives in EMW absorption applications.

Facile Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Lightweight RGO/PPy Nanotube/Fe3O4 Aerogel with Excellent Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Properties.

Project description:In this article, a three-dimensional chemically reduced graphene oxide/polypyrrole nanotubes (PPy nanotubes)/Fe3O4 aerogel (GPFA) was fabricated by a simple one-step self-assembly process through hydrothermal reduction. The addition of both PPy nanotubes and Fe3O4 nanoparticles is aimed to avoid the aggregation of graphene sheets, effectively adjust the permittivity, and make better impedance matching between dielectric loss and magnetic loss of the composite aerogel to gain excellent electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption performance. The EM wave-absorbing results indicate that the ternary composite with an ultralow density of about 38.3 mg/cm3 shows an improved EM wave-absorbing property with a maximum reflection loss of -49.2 dB at the frequency of 11.8 GHz, with an effective absorption bandwidth below -10 dB reaching 6.1 GHz (9.8-15.9 GHz) at a thickness of 3.0 mm. Such an outstanding EM wave absorption behavior can be attributed to the multiple reflections, polarizations, and relaxation processes in the aerogel.

Lightweight Hierarchical Carbon Nanocomposites with Highly Efficient and Tunable Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Properties.

Project description:High-performance electromagnetic interference shielding is becoming vital for the next generation of telecommunication and sensor devices among which portable and wearable applications require highly flexible and lightweight materials having efficient absorption-dominant shielding. Herein, we report on lightweight carbon foam-carbon nanotube/carbon nanofiber nanocomposites that are synthesized in a two-step robust process including a simple carbonization of open-pore structure melamine foams and subsequent growth of carbon nanotubes/nanofibers by chemical vapor deposition. The microstructure of the nanocomposites resembles a 3-dimensional hierarchical network of carbonaceous skeleton surrounded with a tangled web of bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes and layered graphitic carbon nanofibers. The microstructure of the porous composite enables absorption-dominant (absorbance ∼0.9) electromagnetic interference shielding with an effectiveness of ∼20-30 dB and with an equivalent mass density normalized shielding effectiveness of ∼800-1700 dB cm3 g-1 at the K-band frequency (18-26.5 GHz). Moreover, the hydrophobic nature of the materials grants water-repellency and stability in humid conditions important for reliable operation in outdoor use, whereas the mechanical flexibility and durability with excellent piezoresistive behavior enable strain-responsive tuning of electrical conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding, adding on further functionalities. The demonstrated nanocomposites are versatile and will contribute to the development of reliable devices not only in telecommunication but also in wearable electronics, aerospace engineering, and robotics among others.

Lightweight and High-Performance Microwave Absorber Based on 2D WS2-RGO Heterostructures.

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.

A Tunable Triple-Band Near-Infrared Metamaterial Absorber Based on Au Nano-Cuboids Array.

Project description:In this article, we present a design for a triple-band tunable metamaterial absorber with an Au nano-cuboids array, and undertake numerical research about its optical properties and local electromagnetic field enhancement. The proposed structure is investigated by the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method, and we find that it has triple-band tunable perfect absorption peaks in the near infrared band (1000-2500 nm). We investigate some of structure parameters that influence the fields of surface plasmons (SP) resonances of the nano array structure. By adjusting the relevant structural parameters, we can accomplish the regulation of the surface plasmons resonance (SPR) peaks. In addition, the triple-band resonant wavelength of the absorber has good operational angle-polarization-tolerance. We believe that the excellent properties of our designed absorber have promising applications in plasma-enhanced photovoltaic, optical absorption switching and infrared modulator optical communication.

Dependences of microstructure on electromagnetic interference shielding properties of nano-layered Ti3AlC2 ceramics.

Project description:The microstructure dependent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties of nano-layered Ti3AlC2 ceramics were presented in this study by comparing the shielding properties of various Ti3AlC2 ceramics with distinct microstructures. Results indicate that Ti3AlC2 ceramics with dense microstructure and coarse grains are more favourable for superior EMI shielding efficiency. High EMI shielding effectiveness over 40?dB at the whole Ku-band frequency range was achieved in Ti3AlC2 ceramics by microstructure optimization, and the high shielding effectiveness were well maintained up to 600?°C. A further investigation reveals that only the absorption loss displays variations upon modifying microstructure by allowing more extensive multiple reflections in coarse layered grains. Moreover, the absorption loss of Ti3AlC2 was found to be much higher than those of highly conductive TiC ceramics without layered structure. These results demonstrate that nano-layered MAX phase ceramics are promising candidates of high-temperature structural EMI shielding materials and provide insightful suggestions for achieving high EMI shielding efficiency in other ceramic-based shielding materials.
