Abstract

In this paper, ZnO nanowires and ZnO nanotrees have been prepared and their microwave absorption properties have been investigated in detail. Complex permittivity and permeability of the ZnO nanostructures and paraffin composites have been measured in a frequency of 0.1–18 GHz. Excellent microwave absorption performances have been observed in ZnO nanotree composite compared to ZnO nanowire composite, and the maximum absorption is enhanced as the concentration of the nanotrees increases in the composite. The value of minimum reflection loss for the composites with 60 vol % ZnO nanotrees is −58 dB at 4.2 GHz with a thickness of 4.0 mm. Such strong absorption is attributed to the unique isotropic antenna morphology of the ZnO nanotrees in the composite.
