Absorbers with lightweight, low filler loading and broad absorption band are highly desirable for electromagnetic wave absorption field. Here, hollow Co1–xS microspheres constructed by nanosheets are fabricated via a facile synthetic method based on hydrothermal route. As an efficient wave absorber, the Co1–xS hollow spheres demonstrate excellent microwave absorption performance. With a weight content of only 3 wt%, the maximum reflection loss (RL) can reach as strong as −46.1 dB at 13.92 GHz and its qualified frequency bandwidth (with RL value over −10 dB) remarkably achieves 5.6 GHz, covering 35% of the entire measured bandwidth. In addition, compared with other cobalt sulfides (such as CoS2 and Co9S8), the Co1–xS microspheres with hollow structure exhibit more superior absorption intensity and broader qualified bandwidth. Therefore, this work provides a promising approach for the design and synthesis of hollow Co1–xS microspheres with lightweight and high‐performance microwave absorption.
The three-dimensional (3D) MoS2 hierarchical nanospheres which assembled spontaneously by
two-dimensional (2D) lamina have been successfully designed and fabricated
in large scale via a simple hydrothermal process. Subsequently, the
electromagnetic wave absorption properties of hierarchical MoS2 nanospheres compounded with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)
were investigated in a broad frequency range of 2–40 GHz. The
results indicated that the MoS2/PVDF nanocomposites possess
adjustable and enhanced wave absorption performance. Furthermore,
the MA performance can be effectively tuned by the absorber’s
thickness and filler content. In addition, the peculiar hierarchical
nanostructure of MoS2 is beneficial to microwave absorption
property compared with the bulk MoS2 and micrometer-sized
MoS2. Moreover, the main microwave absorption mechanism
including various polarization, destructive interference theory, and
multiple reflection has been described in detail.
Core–shell structural NiS2@MoS2 nanospheres have been successfully fabricated and they possess enhanced microwave absorption properties as compared to single NiS2 nanospheres or MoS2 nanoplates due to this core–shell structure.
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)@MoS2 composites with a loose structure were prepared and added to poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to form composites that showed superior microwave absorption and excellent electromagnetic interference shielding performances. The maximum reflection loss of the rGO@MoS2/PVDF composites, with a low filling rate (only 5.0 wt %), can reach −43.1 dB at 14.48 GHz, and the frequency bandwidth below −10 dB is 3.6–17.8 GHz (in the frequency range of 2–18 GHz) with a thickness of 1–5 mm. Furthermore, rGO@MoS2/PVDF composites with a higher filling rate (25 wt %) also exhibit outstanding electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness, reaching a maximum at 27.9 dB. The mechanism of enhanced absorption and electromagnetic interference shielding performances were also studied in detail.
