Characterization of Wheat Husk-Derived Holey Carbon/(RGO)x/CoFe2O4/PVA Nanocomposites: Insights into Structural, Optical, Magnetic, and Dielectric Properties

In this particular study, an uncomplicated method involving chemical co-precipitation was employed to create nanocomposites known as wheat husk-derived holey carbon/reduced graphene oxide/cobalt ferrite/polyvinyl alcohol (WHHC/(RGO)x/CF/PVA). The utilization of biomass materials is a noteworthy aspect that has caught the attention of researchers in this field. It is worth mentioning that the characteristics related to both magnetism and dielectricity in the flexible WHHC/(RGO)x/CF/PVA nanocomposites can be controlled by adjusting the amount of RGO present in the composition. To explore the composite's absorption properties, the influence of RGO content was investigated, and it was found that there is a direct correlation between higher RGO content and increased absorption. The WHHC/(RGO)x/CF/PVA structure exhibits an enhanced impedance matching due to the strong interfacial interaction between RGO and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles. This porous composition possesses an optimal structure for capturing and collecting light effectively. Moreover, the WHHC/(RGO)x/CF/PVA nanocomposites have exhibited great potential in manufacturing flexible electronic devices such as light-dependent resistors (LDRs), when employed as an electronic material. Their lightweight characteristics and flexibility are key contributors to the success achieved in this aspect. However, it is important to note that their overall shape tends to resemble that of traditional absorber equipment commonly used in the field.
