Abstract

In this study, we firstly used the MOF-derived Fe7S8/C rod-like composites as absorbers and systematically investigated the synergistic effect of Fe7S8 and carbon in electromagnetic wave absorption applications. By controlling the introduced dosage of ferric salt, the proportion of carbon and Fe7S8 in composites could be adjusted, which made a significant effect on the electromagnetic parameters and absorption performance. When the carbon proportion was about 33.9 wt%, the synergistic effect between Fe7S8 and carbon guaranteed the optimized impedance matching and strong dissipation ability, presenting superb absorption performance. The optimal performance reflected in the minimum reflection loss of −68.86 dB at 12.08 GHz with a thickness of 1.67 mm, and the effective bandwidth was up to 4.56 GHz at 1.45 mm. Therefore, this study provides a facile method for preparing the Fe7S8/C absorbers and emphasizes the significance of the ratios between Fe7S8 and carbon on the electromagnetic parameters and absorption performance.
