Al2O3coated polyhedral Fe nanocapsules were prepared by arc-discharging a Fe-Al(8at%Al) alloy. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and network analyzer were employed to investigate the microstructures, compositions and electromagnetic properties (2-18GHz). The reflection loss R(dB) of the nanocapsules reaches to -50.5dB at 7.9GHz with a 3mm thickness, and EM absorption properties(RL<-20dB) in the 5.2~16.1GHz range with thickness range of 1.67-4.7mm. The excellent Microwave-absorption properties of as-prepared nanocapsules are ascribed to shape anisotropy and core/shell structure.
BiFeO3coated ferromagnetic Fe nanocapsules is synthesized by arc-discharging method. Typical HRTEM images show that the nanocapsules form in a core-shell structure. X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveal that the core is ferromagnetic Fe, while the shell is BiFeO3/Bi2Fe4O9.The reflection loss R of less than -10 dB was obtained for the whole frequency within the 2-18GHz range by choosing an appropriate layer thickness between 1.0mm and 7.0mm. An optimal reflection loss of -21.5 dB was reached at 10.6 GHz with an absorber thickness of 2.0mm. It is worth noticing that the BiFeO3coated Fe nanocapsules have two absorption peaks below -10 dB at each thickness layer ranging from 4.0nm to 7.0nm, which means the composites nanocapsules absorber simultaneously are able to absorb microwaves in different band of several GHz.
BN coated Ni nanocapsules were prepared by arc evaporating Ni-B amorphous alloy powders synthesized by a mechanochemical reaction, and their microstructure, surface component as well as electromagnetic properties (2-18 GHz) were investigated by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction , photoluminescence spectra (PL) and a network analyzer, respectively. The reflection loss R (dB) of the nanocapsules less than -20 dB was obtained in the frequency range of 4.3-18 GHz for an absorber thickness of 1.4-6 mm. An optimal reflection loss of -32.0 dB was reached at 13 GHz with an absorber thickness of 2 mm. The microwave absorptive mechanisms of BN-coated Ni nanocapsule absorbent were discussed.
Fe nanoparticles with shell of Ni-P coating layer were successfully synthesized using Ni electroless plating process. Electromagnetic-wave absorption of Ni-P coated Fe nanoparticles has been investigated. In contrast to earlier reported materials, the absorption amplitude of as-prepared samples is found not largely decrease with increasing absorption-layer thickness. A reflection loss (RL) exceeding -20 dB can be obtained for almost the whole frequencies within the 2-18GHz range by choosing an appropriate layer thickness between 0.9 and 6.0mm. The broadest bandwidth (RLu-bands(12-18GHz), is obtained for 1.1mm layer. At the same time, it is worth noticing that in a thin thickness range 0.91-2.0mm, the reflection loss (RL) exceeding -10 dB in the 6-18GHz range is obtained, which covers half of C-bands (4-8GHz), the whole X-bands (8-12GHz) and Ku–bands (12-18GHz).
BN@BaTiO3 coated Ni nanocapsules were prepared by a two-step method, composed of an arc-discharge and a chemical liquid deposition process. Their microstructure, surface component as well as electromagnetic properties (1-18GHz) were investigated by means of high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectra (FT-IR) and a network analyzer, respectively. The core double-shell Ni@/BN@BaTiO3nanocapsules exhibit stronger EM absorption properties and the position of absorb peaks move to the low frequency direction in GHz range in the same thickness, compared to that of Ni@/BN. The microwave absorptive mechanisms of BN@BaTiO3coated Ni nanocapsule absorbent were discussed.
