Reduced Graphene Oxide/Fe₃O₄/Polyaniline Ternary Composites as a Superior Microwave Absorber in the Shielding of Electromagnetic Pollution.

ABSTRACT: The present work is focused on fabrication of reduced graphene oxide/iron(II/III) oxide/polyaniline (RGO/Fe₃O₄/PANI) ternary composite by a hydrothermal method, its characterization, and application in the development of a high microwave absorbing shielding material. The RGO/Fe₃O₄/PANI composite showed dramatic enhancement of dielectric loss and magnetic loss compared to Fe₃O₄/PANI and RGO/Fe₃O₄ binary composites. This is ascribed to the embedment of more heterostructure phases. As a result, RGO/Fe₃O₄/PANI showed remarkably high SE_T (∼28 dB) through the absorption dominant mechanism. Our findings also showed maximum R _L of Fe₃O₄/PANI, RGO/Fe₃O₄, and RGO/Fe₃O₄/PANI in the range of 2-8 GHz corresponding to -25 to -35, -40 to -46, and approximately -64 dB, respectively. This is in all probability due to the good impedance matching between permittivity/permeability and dielectric/magnetic losses.

Dopamine-derived cavities/Fe3O4 nanoparticles-encapsulated carbonaceous composites with self-generated three-dimensional network structure as an excellent microwave absorber.

Project description:Dopamine-derived cavities/Fe3O4 nanoparticles-encapsulated carbonaceous composites with self-generating three-dimensional (3D) network structure were successfully fabricated by a facile synthetic method, in which sodium alginate provided carbon matrix pores and excellent microwave absorption performance was established. The hollow cavities derived from the core-shell-like CaCO3@polydopamine were creatively introduced into the 3D absorber to significantly improve the absorption performance. The sample calcined at 700 °C exhibited the most outstanding microwave absorption performance, with minimal reflection loss up to -50.80 dB at 17.52 GHz with a rare thickness of only 1.5 mm when filler loading was 35% in paraffin matrix. The effective absorption bandwidth of reflection loss < -10 dB reached 3.52 GHz from 14.48 GHz to 18 GHz, corresponding to the same thickness of 1.5 mm. In contrast, the sample without hollow dopamine-derived cavities showed poor performance due to poor impedance matching, and this highlights the role of hollow cavities brought into the 3D structure, which led to a difference in interfacial polarization, multiple reflections and scattering. The novel dopamine-derived cavities/Fe3O4 nanoparticles-encapsulated carbonaceous composites with 3D network structure can be regarded as a promising candidate for application as a microwave absorber with strong absorption.

Microwave Absorption of α-Fe2O3@diatomite Composites.

Project description:A neoteric round sieve diatomite (De) decorated with sea-urchin-like alpha-type iron trioxide (α-Fe2O3) synthetics was prepared by the hydrothermal method and further calcination. The results of the electromagnetic (EM) parameters of α-Fe2O3-decorated De (α-Fe2O3@D) showed that the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of α-Fe2O3@D could reach -54.2 dB at 11.52 GHz and the matched absorber thickness was 3 mm. The frequency bandwidth corresponding to the microwave RL value below -20 dB was up to 8.24 GHz (9.76-18 GHz). This indicates that α-Fe2O3@D composite can be a lightweight and stable material; because of the low density of De (1.9-2.3 g/cm3), the density of α-Fe2O3@D composite material is lower than that of α-Fe2O3 (5.18 g/cm3). We found that the combination of the magnetic loss of sea-urchin-like α-Fe2O3 and the dielectric loss of De has the most dominant role in electromagnetic wave absorption and loss. We focused on comparing the absorbing properties before and after the formation of sea-urchin-like α-Fe2O3 and explain in detail the effects of the structure and crystal shape of this novel composite on the absorbing properties.

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.

Sustainable Lightweight Biochar-Based Composites with Electromagnetic Shielding Properties.

Project description:Global warming has prompted a search for new materials that capture and sink carbon dioxide (CO2). Biochar is a derivative of biomass pyrolysis and a carbon sink mainly used to improve crop production. This work explores the underlying mechanism behind biochar's electric conductivity using a wide range of feedstocks and its combination with a binder (gypsum). This gypsum-biochar composite exhibits decreased density and flexural moduli with increasing biochar content, particularly after 20% w/w. Gypsum-biochar drywall-like composite prototypes display increasing shielding efficiency mostly in the microwave range as a function of biochar content, differing from other conventional metal (copper) and synthetic carbon-based materials. This narrow range of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is attributed to natural alignment (isotropy) of the carbon ultrastructure (e.g., lignin) induced by heat and intrinsic interconnectivity in addition to traditional phenomena such as dissipation of surface currents and polarization in the electric field. These biomass-derived products could be used as sustainable lightweight materials in a future bio-based economy.

Multispectral smart window: Dynamic light modulation and electromagnetic microwave shielding.

Project description:A novel multispectral smart window has been proposed, which features dynamic modulation of light transmittance and effective shielding against electromagnetic microwave radiation. This design integrates liquid crystal dynamic scattering and dye doping techniques, enabling the dual regulation of transmittance and scattering within a single-layer smart window. Additionally, the precise control of conductive film thickness ensures the attainment of robust microwave signal shielding. We present a theoretical model for ion movement in the presence of an alternating electric field, along with a novel approach to manipulate negative dielectric constant. The proposed model successfully enables a rapid transition between light transparent, absorbing and haze states, with an optimum drive frequency adjustable to approximately 300 Hz. Furthermore, the resistive design of the conductive layer effectively mitigates microwave radiation within the 2-18 GHz range. These findings offer an innovative perspective for future advancements in environmental construction.

Lightweight Epoxy/Cotton Fiber-Based Nanocomposites with Carbon and Fe3O4 for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding.

Project description:Cotton fiber (CF)-based electroconductive papers were prepared by facile aqueous dispersion and drying processes combined with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or graphene nanosheets (GNPs). To enhance the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance of the manufactured nanocomposites, the electroconductive papers were soaked with epoxy resin, which cooperated with the inner sprayed Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The EMI shielding effectiveness of Epoxy/CF-30-Fe3O4-30GNPs reached 33.1 dB, of which over 85.0% is attributed to absorption, which is mainly believed to be caused by the combination of GNPs and Fe3O4 nanoparticles due to their special structures and synergetic effects. Moreover, the infiltration of epoxy between the randomly distributed loose CFs and the multiple reflections inside the interconnected networks could also help to improve the EMI shielding performance of GNP-added samples. The prepared lightweight and stiff Epoxy/CF-30-Fe3O4-30GNP composites have promising applications in civil or military fields.

Lightweight Chain-Typed Magnetic Fe3O4@rGO Composites with Enhanced Microwave-Absorption Properties.

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.

Basic Blue Dye Adsorption from Water using Polyaniline/Magnetite(Fe3O4) Composites: Kinetic and Thermodynamic Aspects.

Project description:Owing to its exciting physicochemical properties and doping-dedoping chemistry, polyaniline (PANI) has emerged as a potential adsorbent for removal of dyes and heavy metals from aqueous solution. Herein, we report on the synthesis of PANI composites with magnetic oxide (Fe3O4) for efficient removal of Basic Blue 3 (BB3) dye from aqueous solution. PANI, Fe3O4, and their composites were characterized with several techniques and subsequently applied for adsorption of BB3. Effect of contact time, initial concentration of dye, pH, and ionic strength on adsorption behavior were systematically investigated. The data obtained were fitted into Langmuir, Frundlich, Dubbanin-Rudiskavich (D-R), and Tempkin adsorption isotherm models for evaluation of adsorption parameters. Langmuir isotherm fits closely to the adsorption data with R2 values of 0.9788, 0.9849, and 0.9985 for Fe3O4, PANI, and PANI/Fe3O4 composites, respectively. The maximum amount of dye adsorbed was 7.474, 47.977, and 78.13 mg/g for Fe3O4, PANI, and PANI/Fe3O4 composites, respectively. The enhanced adsorption capability of the composites is attributed to increase in surface area and pore volume of the hybrid materials. The adsorption followed pseudo second order kinetics with R2 values of 0.873, 0.979, and 0.999 for Fe3O4, PANI, and PANI/Fe3O4 composites, respectively. The activation energy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy changes, and entropy changes were found to be 11.14, -32.84, -04.05, and -0.095 kJ/mol for Fe3O4, 11.97, -62.93, -07.78, and -0.18 kJ/mol for PANI and 09.94, -74.26, -10.63, and -0.210 kJ/mol for PANI/Fe3O4 respectively, which indicate the spontaneous and exothermic nature of the adsorption process.

Quantitative Interpretation of Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Efficiency: Is It Really a Wave Absorber or a Reflector?

Project description:As electromagnetic (EM) pollution continues to increase, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials have been intensively evaluated in terms of two main shielding mechanisms of reflection and absorption. Since the shielding effectiveness (SE) is represented in the logarithmic scale and in a coupled way of transmission (SET), absorption (SEA), and reflection (SER), often there is a misinterpretation that the EM wave reflectors are regarded as EM wave-absorbing materials. Surprisingly, we found that many materials reported as an EM wave absorber in the literature provide, in fact, less than 50% of EM wave-absorbing capability, i.e., over 50% of EM wave-reflecting feature. According to the theory and definition of EMI SE, the absorption-dominant EMI shielding materials should have the ratio of absorption to incident energy (A) as A > 0.5, which corresponds to a necessary condition that SER < 3.01 dB. The SER subsequently gives SEA in relation to SET. Using this criterion, we classified the EMI shielding materials with their shielding mechanism. The proposed methodology provides significant insight into the evaluation and development of EMI shielding materials.

Graphene Infused Ecological Polymer Composites for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding and Heat Management Applications.

Project description:In the age of mobile electronics and increased aerospace interest, multifunctional materials such as the polymer composites reported here are interesting alternatives to conventional materials, offering reduced cost and size of an electrical device packaging. We report a detailed study of an ecological and dual-functional polymer composite for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and heat management applications. We studied a series of polylactic acid/graphene nanoplatelet composites with six graphene nanoplatelet loadings, up to 15 wt%, and three different flake lateral sizes (0.2, 5 and 25 μm). The multifunctionality of the composites is realized via high EMI shielding efficiency exceeding 40 dB per 1 mm thick sample and thermal conductivity of 1.72 W/mK at 15 wt% nanofiller loading. The EMI shielding efficiency measurements were conducted in the microwave range between 0.2 to 12 GHz, consisting of the highly relevant X-band (8-12 GHz). Additionally, we investigate the influence of the nanofiller lateral size on the studied physical properties to optimize the studied functionalities per given nanofiller loading.
