Abstract
Development of microwave absorbing materials with tunable thickness and bandwidth is particularly important for practical applications, but its realization remains a great challenge. Here, we report carbon coated core-shell FeSiCr/Fe3C embedded in two-dimensional carbon nanosheets network (FeSiCr/Fe3C@C/C) nanocomposites fabricated by plasma arc-discharging method. FeSiCr/Fe3C@C/C has the best microwave absorption properties in which the minimum calculated reflection loss (RL) can reach [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB at 11.5[Formula: see text]GHz with a coating thickness of 2.4[Formula: see text]mm and the efficient absorption bandwidth (RL[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB) almost covers 4.5–18[Formula: see text]GHz range by adjusting the coating thicknesses from 1.3 to 5.0[Formula: see text]mm. The improved microwave absorption properties could be ascribed to the optimized impedance matching and enhanced polarization loss, conduction loss and internal reflections of the propagated microwave.
