Reduced graphene oxide-loaded CoFe-PBA derived multi-interface nanocomposites for efficient microwave absorption
摘要
Effective structural design and component optimization is critical for enhancing the performance of electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials. In this study, CoFe Prussian blue analog/graphene oxide composite (CoFe-PBA/GO) was designed by electrostatic adsorption, in situ growth and co-precipitation deposition and carbon layer-coated CoFe/reduced graphene oxide composite (CoFe@C/RGO) was synthesized via pyrolysis. The carbon layer-coated CoFe (CoFe@C) with core-shell structure is successfully integrated onto the reduced graphene oxide (RGO) surface, effectively preventing the aggregation of RGO nanosheets. The incorporation of RGO facilitates the formation of a continuous conductive network and improves conduction loss. The optimized CoFe@C/RGO-15 has a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of − 47.88 dB at 9.42 GHz with a thickness of 2.1 mm and effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 3.77 GHz (11.98–15.75 GHz) at 1.6 mm. This study provides a novel approach for fabricating of an EMW-absorbing material with dielectric loss and magnetic loss, offering significant insights into low-frequency magnetic attenuation mechanisms.
