Abstract
Magnetic-dielectric functional materials with unique three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic structures, reasonable component regulation, and hierarchical heterogeneous interfaces are potential candidates for achieving efficient microwave absorption (MA). In this paper, CoNi/SiO2 hybrids are synthesized for high-performance MA by anchoring the dielectric SiO2 layer by Stöber's sol-gel method to regulate the permittivity (εr). The results show that the abundant pores and high specific surface area of the coral-like spherical structure, the εr modulation of CoNi alloy by SiO2 shell-layer, the heterogeneous interface and charge storage capacity difference between both, which provide more reflective and scattering channels for the incident electromagnetic wave (EMW), optimize the impedance matching and enhance the interfacial polarization loss and magnetic loss, and finally achieve the reflection loss (RL) enhancement and effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) broadening. In particular, the coral-like CoNi@SiO2-2 microparticle (MP) has the strongest RL of −66.59 dB at 2.2 mm matching thickness and the maximum EAB of 6.460 GHz at 1.9 mm matching thickness, which covers the entire Ku-band. In this study, the hierarchical heterostructure is constructed by a unique morphology design and the introduction of a dielectric anchoring layer, which provides a new way to prepare efficient microwave-absorbing materials by magnetic-dielectric coupling engineering.
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.
