Tunable Bandwidth of Negative Permittivity from Graphene-Silicon Carbide Ceramics

Abstract

With tunable bandwidth of negative permittivity, graphene-silicon carbide (GR-SiC) ceramics were sintered by spark plasma sintering process. Compositions and structure were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. With its content increasing, GR interconnected into "GR clusters" with larger lateral dimensions, which tended to be connected into conductive pathways instead of agglomeration under the action of ball milling. Permittivity, alternating current conductivity (σac), dielectric loss and imaginary reactance were analyzed in detail. When the GR content exceeded 6.30 wt%, a significant electrical percolation phenomenon occurred, and the conductive mechanism changed from electronic jump conduction to a metal-like conduction. Fano-like resonance, appertained to permittivity, exhilaratingly transformed into the Lorentz model. Owing to the mutual dielectric screening between SiC and GR, the bandwidth of negative permittivity became wider and can be tuned via the GR content.

“…Furthermore, utilizing the power-law relationship from eq 3 42 and CV profiles of the MXene−BP-10 electrode from 10 to 100 mV/s, Cortell's formula of charge storage mechanism was elucidated as follows: (3) where a and b are variables. When b = 1, surface dominant non-Faradaic reactions usually take predominance.…”

In Situ Derived Porous CoNi@Mo2C-CNT Composites for Excellent Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Properties

“…Carbon-based absorbers represent an essential substrate of materials in the field of EM wave absorption due to their numerous advantages including excellent electrical conductivity, large specific surface area, low density, and outstanding corrosion resistance, and such excellent properties can be controlled by porosity regulation, microstructure modulation, and composition optimization in the preparation process. − Several studies have further suggested that variations in microstructures of absorbers can enhance the EM wave absorption performance, including porous, hollow, core–shell, and hierarchical structures . Commonly, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and other special carbon materials are among the most important materials to be used as electromagnetic wave absorbers in the high-frequency range. − The carbon-based absorbers combined with magnetic materials can increase impedance matching significantly through their synergistic effects. − Furthermore, polybasic absorbers can compensate for the shortcomings of magnetic materials in terms of heavyweight and poor oxidation resistance. − For example, the Ni@C microspheres exhibited a strong reflection loss (RL) of −86.8 dB due to the improvement of impedance matching and enhanced interfacial polarization loss among Ni and C . Ouyang and co-authors prepared trimetallic FeCoNi@C hollow spheres in which the RL value reached −64.75 dB with additional advantages including low density absorbers induced by a hollow structure and excellent corrosion resistance induced by metal particles coated with carbon.…”
