Abstract
The hierarchical structures of carbonized melamine foam modified by FeNi alloy and silicon layer (CMF/FeNi-SiO2) have been fabricated by a magnetron sputtering method. The as-prepared CMF/FeNi-SiO2 composites exhibited a three-dimensional porous structure, with the framework uniformly covered by a FeNi layer with several hundred nanometers and an ultrathin SiO2 layer, which demonstrated soft magnetic properties at room temperature. Moreover, the microwave absorption performance of the foam was investigated in the frequency range from 2 to 18 GHz. The results showed that the microwave absorption performance of CMF/FeNi-SiO2 composite was significantly enhanced in the low-frequency range compared with CMF/FeNi. The minimum reflection loss of CMF/FeNi-SiO2 with an absorption thickness of 4.1 mm was about −53 dB at 3.38 GHz and reached an effective absorption bandwidth of 0.93 GHz (from 2.93 GHz to 3.86 GHz). The frequency bandwidth of 8 GHz (2.35 ~ 6.35 GHz, 8.4 ~ 12.4 GHz) with absorption loss ≤ −10 dB and the frequency bandwidth of 2.05 GHz (2.62 ~ 4.67 GHz) with absorption loss ≤ -20 dB demonstrated the CMF/FeNi-SiO2 a high-efficient absorber in the low-frequency band (2–6 GHz), which stemmed from improved impedance matching and attenuation capacities.
