Abstract
As a lot of electromagnetic pollution and interference issues have emerged,to overcome electro-magnetic interference,prevent electromagnetic hazards,and develop new high-performance electromagnetic wave(EMW)absorbers have become a significant task in the field of materials science.In this paper,a three-dimensional(3D)carbon nanofibers network with core-shell structure,embedded with varied molar ratios of iron and cobalt(4∶0,3∶1,2∶2,1∶3,0∶4),was effectively synthesized(Fe/Co@C-CNFs)via electrospinning.The phase,microstructure,magnetic and EMW absorption properties were studied.It is discovered that Fe/Co@C-CNFs doped with iron:cobalt=1∶1 have excellent EMW absorption capacity.When the matching thickness is 1.08 mm,the minimum reflection loss(RL)value is-18.66 dB,while the maxi-mum effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)reaches 4.2 GHz(13.9-18 GHz)at a thickness of 1.22 mm.This is owing to the absorbers'superior impedance matching and multiple reflections as well as the conductivity,dielectric,and magnetic losses of carbon nanofibers embedded with Fe-Co alloy particles.In addition,the radar cross section(RCS)of the absorbers has been calculated by CST Studio Suite,showing that the absorbing coating can effectively reduce the RCS at various angles,especially for Fe/Co@C-CNFs doped with iron:cobalt=1∶1.These findings not only provide new insights for the preparation of light-weight and high-performance electromagnetic wave absorbers,but also contribute to energy storage and conversion.
