The study successfully synthesized yolk-shell Fe-Fe3O4@C nanoparticles, which exhibited excellent microwave absorption performance with optimized parameters including reflection loss, effective bandwidth, and thickness.
The performance of Fe3O4-based electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials is typically hindered by their low conductivity. Therefore, the introduction of carbon components with a rationally constructed microstructure has evolved as an effective approach for enhancing the electromagnetic properties of metal-oxide-based microwave absorbers. In this study, yolk-shell Fe-Fe3O4@C nanoparticles were synthesized via a hydrothermal-polymerization-vacuum carbonization method under a N2 flow. In addition to a polymer with suitable layer thickness, which is required to obtain a mixed Fe and Fe3O4 phase, an appropriate carbon layer is needed. Furthermore, Fe@C with cavities can be fabricated when the thickness of the polymer layer is higher than the optimum value. The optimized reflection loss, effective bandwidth, and thickness of Fe-Fe3O4@C were -51 dB, 5.1 GHz (12.9-18 GHz), and 1.2 mm, respectively, which were larger than those of most Fe3O4-based absorbing materials reported to date. The excellent microwave absorption performance of Fe-Fe3O4@C was attributed to its excellent electromagnetic properties, including complex permeability and permittivity, and yolk-shell structure, which favored multiple reflections and scatterings and multiple polarizations at the core-cavity and cavity-shell interfaces.
