Abstract
Designing of materials which can resist aging and corrosion in harsh reaction conditions is required to mitigate the omnipresent issue of electromagnetic interference pollution. Particularly, FeSiAl alloy is a relevant composite material, however, it always suffers aging and corrosion when exposed to crude saline environment. Herein, Carbon-encapsulated FeSiAl (FeSiAl@C) hybrid flakes are developed by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CCVD) technique through the reaction of FeSiAl precursor with acetylene (C2H2) gas at 300 °C for 5 min. The carbon coating efficiently improves the impedance matching characteristics of FeSiAl powder leading to enhance microwave absorption. Not only that, the carbon capsule also plays an effective shielding function to prevent the alloy from corroding. Specifically, the FeSiAl@C-300 °C delivers increased complex permeability and permittivity in the frequency range of 7–14 GHz, as well as improved impedance matching. In addition, the corrosion resistance is measured using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in 5 wt% NaCl solution. The results indicate that the synthesized hybrid exhibits excellent corrosion resistance capability. So, the composite synthesis is a worthy approach to design hybrid materials for effective microwave absorption and corrosion resistance properties for practical applications.
