The utilization of nickel slag has attracted much attention due to its high-content of valuable elements. As a part of these efforts, this work focuses on whether magnetite crystals, obtained from nickel slag via molten oxidation, magnetic separation, and ball-milling can be used as a microwave absorber. The composition, morphology, microstructure, magnetic properties, and microwave absorption performance were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and vector network analysis (VNA). The results reveal that the magnetite crystals exhibit excellent microwave absorption properties because of the synergistic action between dielectric loss and magnetic loss. The minimum reflection loss (RL) of the particles obtained after 6 h ball-milling reaches −34.0 dB at 16.72 GHz with thickness of 5 mm. The effective frequency bandwidth (RL ≤ −10 dB) is 4.8–5.4 GHz and 15.9–17.6 GHz. Interfacial polarization of the particles could play a crucial role in improving absorbing properties because several components contained in the particles can dissipate electromagnetic wave effectively. The current study could show great potential in the preparation of magnetite crystals and utilization of nickel slag.

ZnO nanocrystals were introduced into Fe3O4/MWCNTs composites to improve the impedance matching and electromagnetic (EM) wave attenuation of the system. The as-synthesized ZnO/Fe3O4/MWCNTs composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. SEM and TEM images showed that Fe3O4 microspheres 100–200[Formula: see text]nm in size connected MWCNTs. Analysis of EM parameters revealed that the impedance matching of the ZnO/Fe3O4/MWCNTs composites was considerably improved after ZnO nanocrystals were introduced. The ZnO/Fe3O4/MWCNTs composites exhibited a highly efficient microwave absorption (MA) capacity within the tested frequency range of 2–18[Formula: see text]GHz. The optimal reflection loss of EM waves was [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB at 6.08[Formula: see text]GHz with an absorber thickness of 3.5[Formula: see text]mm. The excellent MA properties of the composites could be attributed to the improved impedance matching, interfacial polarization, and combined effects of dielectric and magnetic losses.

Magnetic nanoparticles, such as Fe3O4 and Co3O4, play a vital role in the research on advanced microwave absorbing materials, even if problems such as high density and narrow band impedance matching are still unsolved. Herein, the study of lightweight hollow Fe3O4@reduced graphite oxide (RGO) nanocomposites synthesized via the solvothermal method is presented. The microstructure and crystal morphology of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses. Single crystalline hollow Fe3O4 spheres were grown onto RGO flakes, leading to the formation of heterojunction, which further influenced the microwave absorption properties. The latter were evaluated by standard microwave characterization in the frequency range of 2–18 GHz. It was found that, for a specific [email protected] g RGO composite, the minimum reflection loss can reach −41.89 dB at 6.7 GHz, while the reflection loss was less than −10 dB from 3.4 GHz to 13.6 GHz for a nanocomposite sample thickness in the range of 1–4 mm. The combination of these two materials thus proved to give remarkable microwave absorption properties, owing to enhanced magnetic losses and favorable impedance matching conditions.

M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method and solution phase reduction method, respectively. The crystalline and morphology of particles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The composite coatings with SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets in polyvinylchloride matrix were prepared. The microwave absorption properties of these coatings were investigated in 2-18GHz frequency range. The results showed that the M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were obtained and they presented irregular sheet shapes. With the increase of the coating thickness, the absorbing peak value moves to the lower frequency. The absorbing peak values of the wave increase along with the increasing of the content of FeNi3 nanoplatelets filling fraction. When 40% SrFe12O19 ferrites is doped with 20% mass fraction FeNi3 nanoplatelets to prepare composite with 1.5mm thickness, the maximum reflection loss is -24.8 dB at 7.9GHz and the -10 dB bandwidth reaches 3.2GHz.

In this paper, we have synthesized meso-oxides (i.e., Co 3 O 4 and NiO ) by using mesoporous silica as hard template. The microstructures and chemical compositions of the corresponding meso-oxides were characterized by the Transmission electron microscope-selected area electron diffusion (TEM-SAED), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), respectively. And, their electromagnetic and microwave absorption properties were investigated in the frequency range of 2–18 GHz. The results indicate that meso-oxide templated from KIT-6 (i.e., meso-K– Co / Ni ) exhibit a dual absorption characteristic compared with those using SBA-15 as hard template. This phenomenon suggests that meso-oxides templated from SBA-15 and KIT-6 can exhibit different microwave absorption behaviors due to their respective microstructures.

Fe3O4/C composites were prepared by using Fe and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as precursors, and then heat-treated at temperatures of 600,700 and 800 °C, respectively. The phase composition of the composites at different temperatures was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and Fe reacted with O from PAN to form Fe3O4, which contributed to the improvement of magnetic loss of the carbon matrix. Electromagnetic and microwave absorption properties of the composites were investigated. The results show that the values of real and imaginary part of permittivity were all increased as the temperature increasing, and also the microwave absorption capability was improved.

In this paper, the MOFs-derived carbonaceous ZnO and RGO (carbonaceous ZnO/RGO) composites have been prepared by the wet chemical method and carbonization process. The as-prepared products are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectra, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electromagnetic parameters of carbonaceous ZnO/RGO composites are investigated by the vector network analyzer. The results exhibit carbonaceous ZnO/RGO composites have a maximum absorption of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB at 6[Formula: see text]GHz with thickness of 3.5[Formula: see text]mm and the effective absorption (below [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB) bandwidth is up to 1.92[Formula: see text]GHz (from 5.28 to 7.2[Formula: see text]GHz). Thus, the carbonaceous ZnO/RGO composites have great potential in the field of electromagnetic wave absorption.

The composite microspheres with Ni cores and amorphous TiO2 shells (Ni@TiO2) were synthesized by a one-pot solvothermal method at 180°C for 15 h, which used nickel chloride hexahydrate as Ni source andtetrabutyl orthotitanate as Ti source. The Ni/TiO2 core/shell composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). A possible formation mechanism of core-shell Ni/TiO2 was proposed. Furthermore, the microwave absorption properties of these microspheres were investigated in terms of complex permittivity and permeability. The minimum reflection loss is-29.5 dB at 14.4 GHz for a layer of 4.0 mm thickness. Such phenomenon is attributed to the synergy effect between magnetic loss of Ni core and dielectric loss of amorphous TiO2 shell. The enhanced microwave absorption properties are also believed to be due to the unique coreshell structure. All results indicate that these Ni@TiO2 microspheres may be attractive candidate materials for electromagnetic wave absorption applications.

In this work, the Fe-doped ZnO powders have been synthesized by a facile chemical coprecipitation method. The structure, morphology and magnetic properties of the as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that the Fe ions were well incorporated into the crystal lattice of ZnO and had a valence state of [Formula: see text]. The magnetization curves indicated the Fe-doped ZnO presented the ferromagnetic behavior at room temperature. Moreover, the electromagnetic (EM) parameters and microwave absorption properties of Fe-doped ZnO/paraffin wax in the frequency range of 2–18[Formula: see text]GHz were explored. The minimum reflection loss reached [Formula: see text] dB at 6.6 GHz, and the reflection loss less than [Formula: see text] dB was 4.0 GHz (from 11.0[Formula: see text]GHz to 15.0[Formula: see text]GHz) with a thickness of only 2.5 mm. Significantly, the enhanced microwave absorption of the as-prepared powders could be achieved by doping with Fe[Formula: see text] ions or varying the thickness of the absorbers. The mechanism of microwave absorption were attributed to the good impedance matching, the dielectric loss resulted from the crystal lattice defects and the magnetic loss originated from the natural resonance. It is believed that the Fe-doped ZnO powders could be used as potential microwave absorbers.

In this study, sulfur-free expanded graphite (EG) was obtained by using flake graphite as the raw material, and EG/Fe3O4 composites with excellent microwave absorption properties were prepared by a facile one-pot co-precipitation method. The structure and properties of as-prepared EG/Fe3O4 were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), thermogravimetric (TG), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) characterizations. The Fe3O4 intercalated between the layers of expanded graphite forms a sandwich-like structure which is superparamagnetic and porous. When applied as a microwave absorber, the reflection loss (RL) of EG/Fe3O4 reaches −40.39 dB with a thickness of 3.0 mm (10 wt% loading), and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB < −10 dB) with RL exceeding −10 dB is 4.76–17.66 GHz with the absorber thickness of 1.5–4.0 mm. Considering its non-toxicity, easy operation, low cost, suitability for large-scale industrial production, and excellent microwave absorbing performance, EG/Fe3O4 is expected to be a promising candidate for industrialized electromagnetic absorbing materials.
