Abstract
Strong attenuation capability and good impedance matching are necessary conditions for high-performance electromagnetic wave (EMW) attenuation materials, which are difficult to balance in the polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) preparation process. In this work, the dielectric loss phase and wave-transparent phase are simultaneously obtained in SiBCN ceramics, endowing a strong EMW absorbing capability. The results show that the transformation of Si3N4 to SiC could be controlled to achieve coexistence in SiBCN ceramics. The Si3N4 improves the impedance matching characteristics, while SiC and the corresponding heterogeneous interfaces enhance the polarization loss capability. Furthermore, the graphite strips construct a three-dimensional conductive network to improve the conductive loss capability. As a result, the minimum reflection loss reaches −54.24 dB at 15.04 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth is 7.48 GHz with a thickness of 1.72 mm, covering the whole Ku band. The excellent EMW absorption capability of SiBCN ceramics can be attributed to the synergistic function of Si3N4 and SiC, which provides a novel strategy for the preparation of ultra-thin and strong EMW attenuating materials with broadband.
