Single-walled carbon nanotubes were facilely and abundantly synthesized by low-pressure air arc discharge method (LPA-SWCNTs), and CoFe2O4 nanocrystals were synthesized by a nitrate citric acid sol-gel auto-ignition method. The electromagnetic and microwave absorption properties of LPA-SWCNTs, CoFe2O4 nanocrystals and their nanocomposites were investigated. The LPA-SWCNT/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites showed excellent microwave absorption properties. The minimum efficient reflection loss is -30.7 dB at 12.9 GHz for 10 wt% of LPA-SWCNTs in the nanocomposites, and an effective absorption bandwidth with a reflection loss below -10 dB is 7.2 GHz. The Debye equation and impedance matching were introduced to explain the microwave absorption properties. Compared with the single-component materials, the LPA-SWCNT/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites are an excellent candidate for microwave absorbers. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
