Abstract
This study presents the synthesis of Er[Co(CN)6], a Prussian blue analog (ErCo-PBA) with varied morphology, fabricated by modulating the solvent ratio between C2H6O and H2O. This approach leverages the solubility characteristics of K3[Co(CN)6] and the consequential influence of C2H6O on the crystal growth. When the solvent ratios are 1:8, 8:1, and 1:1, the resulting ErCo-PBA precursors nanorods, irregular particles, and spindle-shaped particles, respectively. After annealing, these precursors in an Ar environment allowed the Co/Er2O3/C derivatives to retain the morphology of the precursor well. Electromagnetic parameters testing revealed that Co/Er2O3/C-1 exhibits superior electromagnetic wave-absorbing (EMWA) performance among the synthesized derivatives with an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.1 GHz at 1.85 mm and a minimum reflection loss of −56.7 dB at 2.9 mm. The incorporation of Er2O3 is an effective method for adjusting and optimizing the electromagnetic parameters of materials, thereby enhancing the EMWA performance of Co/Er2O3/C composite. This study highlights the potential of rare-earth oxide/Co/C composites, synthesized through direct annealing rare-earth metal–organic frameworks, as an absorber and are promising candidate to achieve high-efficiency electromagnetic wave absorption.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
