Abstract
Hydrotalcite-like layered double hydroxides (LDHs) exhibit distinct microstructures and atomic compositions, and thus, they are expected to be superior microwave absorbing materials. However, preparation of excellent absorbers from LDHs is still a challenging task. Herein, NiCo-LDHs@SiC/C heterostructure composites were designed and then heat-treated to obtain NiCo@SiC/C nanofibers. Finally, with a synergistic effect of dielectric and magnetic losses, the minimum reflection loss value of the sample could reach −56.3 dB with a thickness of 2.7 mm, and the maximum effective bandwidth absorption reached 6.8 GHz at 2.3 mm. Moreover, the simulated radar cross-section indicates that the NiCo@SiC/C nanofibers well suppress the electromagnetic scattering from metal trench structure. This result further indicates the outstanding microwave absorption properties of the nanofibers. This study contributes to the development of LDH materials in the field of wave-absorbing materials, and is an important guideline for exploring efficient microwave absorbers with fibrous structure.
