Enhanced dielectric-magnetic synergy in hybrid Ni@NiO/rGO aerogel enables high-performance electromagnetic wave absorption
摘要
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) demonstrates significant potential as an electromagnetic wave (EM) absorbent due to its tunable dielectric properties, yet its practical performance is constrained by excessive conductivity and insufficient magnetic loss. To address these limitations, we developed a core–shell Ni@NiO/rGO heterojunction architecture through magnetic component hybridization. This design enables synergistic enhancement of magnetic-dielectric loss mechanisms by optimizing multi-domain magnetic resonance and impedance matching. The resulting aerogel achieves exceptional EM absorption performance with a strong reflection loss (RLmin) of − 49.39 dB at 2.5 mm thickness and an ultra-wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 8.02 GHz at 3.0 mm. Through systematic investigation, we quantitatively established a critical microstructure-property linkage between calcination time and electromagnetic parameters. Finally, this work presents a heterocomponent magnetic synergy strategy that advances the development of high-performance and broadband rGO-based EM absorbers.
