Ultrasonic Field Induces Better Crystallinity and Abundant Defects at Grain Boundaries to Develop CuS Electromagnetic Wave Absorber

Abstract

Ultrasonic field (USF) is widely used to regulate the intrinsic properties of materials that have not been applied in electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption. One reason is that the lack of a response mechanism for the materials to USF hinders the expansion of their EMW absorption performance. Therefore, to address this issue, a series of CuS nanoparticles with diverse anions were constructed in the presence or absence of USF. The ultrasonic‐induced cavitation effect can significantly promote CuS crystallization and lead to the accumulation of S defects at the grain boundaries (GBs). Furthermore, the S defects at the GBs were easily oriented and arranged, allowing the polarization relaxation retention to be maintained at 10 wt.%. Consequently, the CuS with a nitrate precursor under USF showed an optimum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 10.24 GHz at a thickness of 3.5 mm, which was 228.6% more than that without the USF. CuS with a chloride precursor also achieved an EAB of 3.92 GHz, even at a considerably low filler ratio. Thus, our study demonstrates the response mechanism of diverse anions to the USF for the first time and provides a novel technique to optimize the EMW absorption performance of semiconductors.This article is protected by copyright.

One-step sintering construction of electromagnetic synergistic Co7Fe3/Co@CBC nanocomposites for enhanced microwave absorption properties

“…45 Therefore, the existence of semicircles confirms the multi-polarization process, which is beneficial for enhancing the dielectric performance. 46 Furthermore, twisted Cole–Cole semicircles may be observed in all ε ′– ε ′′ curves. This indicates the presence of other polarization relaxation processes, such as Maxwell–Wagner relaxation.…”

“…In general, the high shape anisotropy of the magnetic material also contributes to the enhancement of the natural resonance, and thus the magnetic losses of the ball-milled samples S 2 -S 7 were all enhanced relative to the spherical sample S 1 . [55][56][57] The attenuation constants (a) for samples S 1 -S 7 are shown in Fig. 9.…”

“…Generally, both the conduction loss and polarization loss contributed to dielectric loss. 58,59 The dielectric parameter diagram indicated that most of the dielectric loss is contributed by the conductive loss and that polarization loss is relatively minor. Both natural resonance and eddy current loss contributed to the magnetic loss.…”
