Abstract

The electromagnetic radiation emission at high radio frequency causes electromagnetic interference (EMI) which is a serious issue. EMI shielding materials are necessary to shield the incoming electromagnetic waves to prevent this problem. Hence, the advancement of high-performance EMI absorbers with flexibility, strong absorption, and extensive bandwidth has gained great attention. Recently, M-type barium hexaferrite as EM interference absorber has gained much interest, owing to their high magnetic loss, high saturation magnetization, flexibility, low cost, high Curie temperature, and strong absorption. Furthermore, due to high density, the incorporation of other dielectric loss fillers such as conductive polymers, graphene, and carbon nanotubes are studied as an essential way to improve the microwave’s absorption. In this review, we present the EMI theory and also summarize modern improvements in the fabrication of barium hexaferrite-based materials comprising substituted barium ferrite and chemical integrations with conductive polymers, graphene, CNTs, and multicomponent composites. The key points of increasing the EMI absorption in barium hexaferrite-based materials are to regulate the EM properties, improving the impedance match, and expanded the loss mechanisms.

Highlights

• M-type barium hexaferrite having a hexagonal magneto-plumbite structure with high saturation magnetization as well as magnetic anisotropy, chemically stable and as magnetic material and microwave absorber finds the scope for its application.

• The barium hexaferrite-based nanocomposites show high EMI SE with a dominant mechanism of absorption and reflection loss (RL) in a wide range of frequency and effective bandwidth of absorption.

• It is fundamental to have a balance between the concentration of the fillers to achieve impedance match and high absorption.

• Due to the light in weight, cheap, and broad absorption bandwidth of civil electromagnetic waves, the reported nanocomposites could be utilized to protect from the EM pollution in our daily life.
