Abstract

Abstract:

With the vigorous development and widespread application of modern wireless communication technology, free space is filled with a large number of electromagnetic waves, causing serious electromagnetic radiation pollution. Developing composite materials with strong electromagnetic wave absorption ability is a common and effective strategy to solve this problem. Herein, the MoS₂/RGO/NiFe₂O₄ (MRN) composites with heterogeneous architecture were prepared by a facile two-step solvothermal method. The incorporation of MoS₂ and NiFe₂O₄ not only effectively alleviates the impedance mismatch caused by the high conductivity of RGO, but also enriched the EMW loss mechanism. The synergistic effect of improved impedance matching and rich EMW loss mechanisms enables the MRN3 composite to achieve strong minimum reflection loss (-54.13 dB) and wide effective absorption bandwidth (6.27 GHz) at a low filling ratio of 15%(mass). In addition, radar cross section simulation strongly confirms the effectiveness of the prepared MRN composites used in practical applications.

摘要：

随着现代无线通信技术的蓬勃发展和广泛应用，自由空间充斥着大量的电磁波，造成严重的电磁辐射污染。开发强电磁波吸收能力的复合材料是解决这一问题常用且有效的策略。为此，通过简单的两步溶剂热法制备了异质结构MoS₂/RGO/NiFe₂O₄（MRN）复合材料。MoS₂和NiFe₂O₄的引入不仅有效缓解了RGO高电导率造成的阻抗失配，而且丰富了电磁波损耗机制。改善的阻抗匹配和丰富的电磁波损耗机制的协同作用使MRN3复合材料在石蜡基体中填充比为15%（质量分数）时，实现了强的最小反射损耗（-54.13 dB）和宽的有效吸收带宽（6.27 GHz）。此外，雷达散射截面模拟有力证实了MRN复合材料在实际应用中的有效性。
