Abstract

ABSTRACTZnO/Fe3O4/graphene composite with good microwave absorbing performance in L-band was prepared via co-hydrothermal synthesis and precipitation method. The crystal structure, Raman spectra, morphology, electromagnetic parameters and microwave absorption performance of as-synthesized composite were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope and vector network analyzer, respectively. Compared with the pure Fe3O4 NPs and Fe3O4/graphene composite, the as-prepared ZnO/Fe3O4/graphene composite exhibits enhanced microwave absorption performance. The maximum reflection loss is −20.85 dB at 0.94 GHz with a −10 dB bandwidth over the frequency range of 0.65 ~ 1.29 GHz (0.64 GHz) at a match thickness of 5 mm. Moreover, the microwave absorbing properties i.e. the position, intensity, and absorption bandwidth of composite can be adjusted by controlling the thickness of absorber as well. Thus, such composite can be applied as an effective microwave absorber in L-band.
