Abstract
Low density aerogels based on aramid nanofibers (ANFs) are promising candidate for microwave absorption materials. It is an arduous challenge to obtain lightweight microwave absorption materials with strong reflection loss (RL) and broad effective absorption bandwidth. In this paper, ANFs/FeCo hybrid aerogels were fabricated using ParaPhenylene TerephthalAmide (PPTA) as precursor via two-steps freeze-drying method, which offer three-dimensional network porous structure. ANFs/FeCo aerogel exhibited lightweight characteristic and excellent microwave absorption performance. The ultra-low density (14.35 mg cm−3) of ANFs/FeCo aerogel was lower than the one of CNTs. The improvement of microwave absorption performance of ANFs/FeCo aerogels can be attributed to the three-dimensional network porous structure of aerogels and the introduction of magnetic FeCo alloys nanoparticles which can induce a cooperative effect of proper impedance matching, conduction loss, polarization loss, magnetic loss, and multiple scatting. The RL and effective absorption bandwidth of ANFs/FeCo aerogels can be adjusted via changing the mass ration of ANFs and magnetic FeCo nanoparticles. ANFs/FeCo-3 aerogel exhibited ultra strong RL (−60.62 dB) and broad effective absorption bandwidth (4.8 GHz) under a thin thickness (1.75 mm). Our work can provide new insight into the design of lightweight microwave absorption material.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
