Abstract
Electromagnetic waves at the X band (8.2-12.4 GHz) play significant roles in military applications such as radar, satellite, and wireless communication. However, within this band range, the developed performance of electromagnetic absorption (EMA) is still unsatisfied, and it is hard to settle the corresponding problems on radar stealth and electromagnetic pollution. Herein, we demonstrate a state-of-the-art EMA property of -82.6 dB at 8.24 GHz with 2.57 mm thickness and 30 wt % paraffin filling ratio. For this purpose, an optimal Co@NCS/Ti3C2Tx composite is prepared by an electrostatic self-assembly approach through compelling Co-loading of nitrogen-doped carbon sheets (Co@NCS) derived from the pyrolysis of ZIF-67 (CoZn) with 2D Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. Experimental results show that the highly efficient EMA performance of this Co@NCS/Ti3C2Tx composite originates from the large surface area for multiple reflection and electromagnetic wave scattering, from abundant defects sites for dipole and interfacial polarization, and from the optimizing impedance matching by the combination of Co magnetic nanoparticles and conductive NCS/Ti3C2Tx composite. These results confirm that the as-fabricated composites possess scientific and practical values for EMA applications at the X band, paving the way for developing highly performant electromagnetic absorbers toward specific microwave bands.
