CoFe2O4/graphene oxide hybrids have been successfully fabricated via a facile one-pot polyol route, followed by chemical conversion into FeCo/graphene hybrids under H2/NH3 atomosphere.
Fe nanoflakes were prepared by the ball-milling technique, and then were coated with 20 nm-thick SiO(2) to prepare Fe/SiO(2) core-shell nanoflakes. Compared with the uncoated Fe nanoflakes, the permittivity of Fe/SiO(2) nanoflakes decreases dramatically, while the permeability decreases slightly. Consequently, reflection losses exceeding - 20 dB of Fe/SiO(2) nanoflakes are obtained in the frequency range of 3.8-7.3 GHz for absorber thicknesses of 2.2-3.6 mm, while the reflection loss of uncoated Fe nanoflakes almost cannot reach - 10 dB in the same thickness range. The enhanced microwave absorption of Fe/SiO(2) nanoflakes can be attributed to the combination of the proper electromagnetic impedance match due to the decrease of permittivity and large magnetic loss due to strong and broadband natural resonance. The key to the combination is the coexistence of the nanoshell microstructure and the nanoflake morphology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
