“…In addition, there is an obvious reflection peak detected at 2q ¼ 26 corresponding to the (002) planes of graphite phase. The graphite phase is difficult to find in the Ni@C nanocapsules because of breaking down the translation symmetry along radial direction [22,23]. With adding Nb content, the (111) reflection of nickel shifts to the lower angle, and the lattice parameter increases from 0.2032 nm to 0.2035 nm, which is presented in the right-hand panel of Fig.…”

“…1,8 A Ni ingot of 99.9% purity was placed in a water-cooled copper crucible as the anode, while a tungsten needle of 5 mm diameter was employed as the cathode. After evacuating the arc-discharge chamber to 5 mPa, ethanol of 40 ml was introduced into the chamber as the C source.…”

“…The residual gas was then pumped out, and the black powders formed on the inner surface of the chamber were collected as the Ni/C product after they were passivated in N 2 gas for 10 h. Ag 3 PO 4 nanoparticles were prepared on the surface of the as-prepared Ni/C product using an ionexchange process. 8 Ni/C product of 0.25 g was dispersed into Na 2 HPO 4 hydrate solution of controlled volume under mechanical stirring. AgNO 3 solution of 12 mol/ml was added into the mixture of Ni/C product and Na 2 HPO 4 hydrate solution of 3 mol/ml using an AgNO 3 :Na 2 HPO 4 volume ratio of 1:2 at a titration rate of 100 ml/h under vigorous stirring for 1 h. The precipitates were collected by centrifugation, washed several times with distilled water and absolute ethanol, and dried in a vacuum at 60 • C for 12 h as the Ag 3 PO 4 @Ni/C product.…”
Core/shell-structured nickel/carbon (Ni/C) nanocapsules with Ag3PO4 nanoparticle decoration (Ag3PO4@Ni/C) are prepared by an arc-discharge process and an ion-exchange process. The Ag3PO4@Ni/C nanocapsules show a clear decoration of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles of 4–20 nm diameter on the C shell of the Ni/C nanocapsules of ∼60 nm diameter. The amount of Ag3PO4 nanoparticles that can be decorated on the Ni/C nanocapsules depends on the volume of Na2HPO4 reactant used in the ion-exchange process. The Ag3PO4@Ni/C nanocapsules demonstrate interestingly high and tunable electromagnetic absorption properties with different amounts of Ag3PO4 nanoparticle decoration in the paraffin-bonded composites over the 2–18 GHz microwave range. The nanocapsules prepared with 100 ml Na2HPO4 exhibit much enhanced dielectric and magnetic losses for an improved electromagnetic impedance match. These result in a large reflection loss (RL) of -31.4 dB at 12.3 GHz for a small absorber thickness of 2.6 mm in conjunction with a very wide effective absorption bandwidth (for RL<-10 dB) of 14 GHz (4–18 GHz) at a wide absorber thickness range of 1.4–5.0 mm.
“…Measurements were conducted within the range of 2-18 GHz via vector network analysis (AV3629D, China). RL of different Fe ion doping contents on the SnO 2 /MWCNTs-paraffin composites was calculated using the following equation: [27][28][29] RLðdBÞ ¼ 20 log…”
Fe ions doped SnO2/MWCNTs composites with 48.8% Fe ions doping content showed the maximum reflection loss was −44.54 dB at 15.44 GHz, and the maximum absorption bandwidth of reflection loss below −10 dB was 4.5 GHz in the Ku band.
