Abstract
FeCu bimetallic NPs were synthesized and then, decorated the GO sheets by tunned weight ratios of (2:1) and (3:1). FeCu/GO (2:1) & (3:1) nanocomposites exhibited excellent microwave absorption, attributed to synergy of polarization loss (surface polarization and dipole) and multiple magnetic resonance. The FeCu/GO (2:1) exhibited a minimum reflection loss of −82.83 dB at a frequency of 8.32 GHz, with a thickness of 3 mm. Moreover, the broadest absorption bandwidth was observed for FeCu/GO (3:1) at a thickness of 2.6 mm, which covered the entire X and Ku bands. The radar cross section (RCS) and far field calculation showed that by covering a typical perfect electrical conductor (PEC) sphere with FeCu/GO nanocomposites, the RCS and far field reduced 30–50 dB and 20 dB, respectively, in comparison with uncovered PEC. Consequently, the FeCu/GO nanocomposite have been verified as a promising material for advanced microwave absorber in practical application.
