Abstract Reduced graphene oxide has attracted great interest for application as microwave absorbing materials during recent years. Barium ferrite (BaFe12O19) is also a hard magnetic material with microwave absorbing properties. In this research, Zn-doped barium ferrite/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites were synthesized and their magnetic and microwave absorption properties were studied. Phase analysis, particle morphology, magnetic properties, and microwave absorption properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and vector network analysis, respectively. Electron microscopy images showed that reduced graphene oxide nanosheets are decorated with barium ferrite nanoparticles. Zn-doping in the reduced graphene oxide/BaFe12-x Zn x O19 (x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6) nanocomposites caused an increase in the saturation magnetization from 30.76 to 32.69 emu g–1 for Zn = 0.4. Maximum reflection loss was increased from –7.39 dB to –13.50 dB by Zn doping for x = 0.4 in the nanocomposite consisting of 10 wt.% of reduced graphene oxide/BaZn0.4Fe11.6O19. The microwave absorption characteristics are discussed based on the permittivity and permeability values of the nanocomposites.

In this work, reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/ferroferric oxide (RGO/Fe3O4) hybrid composite was successfully fabricated by a facile one-step solvothermal method. The structure, chemical composition, morphology and magnetic properties of the samples were investigated in detail. Fe3O4 microspheres with an average diameter of 250[Formula: see text]nm were uniformly anchored on the surface of the RGO sheets without large aggregation. Moreover, the results demonstrated that the hybrid composite exhibited obviously enhanced microwave absorption properties compared with the pure Fe3O4 microspheres. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the hybrid composite reached [Formula: see text]36.8[Formula: see text]dB at 17.2[Formula: see text]GHz with a thickness of 5.0[Formula: see text]mm and its effective absorption bandwidth (lower than [Formula: see text]10[Formula: see text]dB) was 3.9[Formula: see text]GHz with a thickness of 2.5[Formula: see text]mm. Significantly, the hybrid composite exhibited a dual-waveband absorption characteristic covering the C and Ku bands. Besides, the relationship between the matching thickness and peak frequency was reasonably explained according to the quarter-wavelength matching theory. Therefore, the obtained composite was a promising candidate for application in microwave absorption.
