Abstract
Biomass-derived carbon materials have unique advantages in microwave absorption (MA) materials because of sustainable, low-cost and high dielectric loss. In this study, a new FeNi/NiFe2O4/porous carbon spheres (FNP) composite was synthesized by two steps: the first step is using microcrystalline cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone to prepare carbon spheres through a hydrothermal method, and the second step is decorating FeNi/NiFe2O4 particles onto the carbon spheres and making pores in carbon spheres through calcining at 800 °C. The FNP composite displays remarkable MA capabilities with a minimum reflection loss of −53.05 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth up to 5.37 GHz. Cole-Cole curves reveal that FeNi and NiFe2O4 particles contribute to interface polarization and magnetic loss, while the interconnected carbon spheres lead to conductive loss. Additionally, the CN, CO, CO, and O-C=O bonds and defects of carbon spheres induce dipole polarization, further enhancing the MA properties of the FNP composites.
期刊介绍:
DRM is a leading international journal that publishes new fundamental and applied research on all forms of diamond, the integration of diamond with other advanced materials and development of technologies exploiting diamond. The synthesis, characterization and processing of single crystal diamond, polycrystalline films, nanodiamond powders and heterostructures with other advanced materials are encouraged topics for technical and review articles. In addition to diamond, the journal publishes manuscripts on the synthesis, characterization and application of other related materials including diamond-like carbons, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and boron and carbon nitrides. Articles are sought on the chemical functionalization of diamond and related materials as well as their use in electrochemistry, energy storage and conversion, chemical and biological sensing, imaging, thermal management, photonic and quantum applications, electron emission and electronic devices.
The International Conference on Diamond and Carbon Materials has evolved into the largest and most well attended forum in the field of diamond, providing a forum to showcase the latest results in the science and technology of diamond and other carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and diamond-like carbon. Run annually in association with Diamond and Related Materials the conference provides junior and established researchers the opportunity to exchange the latest results ranging from fundamental physical and chemical concepts to applied research focusing on the next generation carbon-based devices.
