Designing
and fabricating high-performance microwave absorption
materials with efficient electromagnetic absorption and corrosion
resistance becomes a serious and urgent concern. Herein, novel corrosion-resistant
graphene-based carbon-coated iron (Fe@C) magnetic composite foam is
fabricated via self-assembly of iron phthalocyanine/Fe3O4 (FePc hybrid) on the graphene skeletons under solvothermal
conditions and then annealing at high temperature. As a result, the
rational construction of a hierarchical impedance gradient between
graphene skeletons and Fe@C particles can facilitate the optimization
in impedance matching and attenuation characteristic of the foam,
realizing the efficient dissipation for incident electromagnetic waves.
Additionally, the performance of electromagnetic absorption can be
controllably regulated by optimizing annealing temperature and/or
time. More importantly, the formation of a carbon-coated iron structure
substantially improves the corrosion resistance of magnetic particles,
endowing the composite foam with excellent stability and durability
in microwave absorption performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
