In Situ Synthesis of Heterostructured Fe–Ni Nanowires with Tunable Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Capabilities

Abstract

One-dimensional iron–nickel (Fe–Ni) heterogeneous nanowires with superior electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption were successfully prepared by a magnetic-field-assisted liquid-phase reduction method. The electromagnetic properties of the absorber were controllably tuned by changing the atomic molar ratio of Fe to Ni. The composite with an Fe:Ni atomic molar ratio of 1:1.5 exhibited the finest EMW absorption characteristics. With a matched thickness of 2.175 mm, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) at 18 GHz can be as high as 26.106 dB. Also, the majority of the Ku-band is covered by the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ −10 dB), which is up to 6.08 GHz at 2.6 mm with a filler content of 25%. The excellent absorber performance is due to one’s own rich heterogeneous interface to conciliate the dielectric and magnetic losses. The successful exploration of the one-dimensional heterogeneous structure EMW absorber provides important insights for the future sensible fabrication of absorbers with excellent EMW absorption capability.

DFT Study of Metal (Ag, Au, Pt)-Modified SnS2 for Adsorption of SF6 Decomposition Gases in Gas-Insulated Switchgear

“…Nowadays, two-dimensional materials, such as graphene, have received widespread research and attention in gas detection and absorption. − However, graphene exhibits some drawbacks, such as toxicity and zero band gap, which limit its practicality and sensing performance . Therefore, finding new two-dimensional materials with better and more suitable performance is an urgent need for scientists. − In recent years, the gas sensing performance of new two-dimensional materials has been widely studied. − Abbasi et al studied the adsorption behavior of SO x molecules on pure ZnO and N-doped ZnO nanoparticles, revealing the improvement of adsorption behavior of nitrogen-doped nanoparticles as innovative gas sensors for SO x detection in the environment .…”

“…Two key aspects of sensor performance are optimized, primarily in terms of sensitive material selection and structural design [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. The main conductive filler materials widely used by researchers include carbon-based materials [24][25][26][27][28][29][30], metal-based materials [31][32][33][34], and electrically conductive polymers [35][36][37]. Carbon nanotubes have good electrical and mechanical properties and are widely used to fabricate high-performance sensors [38].…”
