Abstract

Advanced electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing materials with strong absorption and broad bandwidth are important for military stealth and elimination of microwave pollution in consumers’ electronics. Metal organic framework (MOF)-derived metal/carbon hybrids with ordered structure are significantly urgent in this field. In this contribution, we presented a design strategy of hollow cage-like or solid box-like magnetic/dielectric Fe/Co/C and dielectric Fe/Mn/C EM wave absorbing nanomaterials via pyrolyzing Prussian blue’s analogs with controllable topology and phase composition. The solid box-like Fe/Co/C and hollow cage-like Fe/Mn/C showed favorable absorption property with a broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) and a low reflection loss (RL). Especially, the EAB of 8.8 GHz at a thickness of 2.5 mm for solid box-like Fe/Co/C nanocomplex prepared at 900°C is a new record for this type of materials. The design and tuning strategy for EM wave absorbers derived from topology-controllable MOF is important for EM functional materials possessing great potential in military stealth and consumers’ electronics.

摘要

装备隐身和电子器件电磁防护的发展对高带宽、 强吸收先进电磁波吸收材料具有迫切需求, 采用金属有机骨架(MOF)衍生有序结构金属/碳杂化材料是重要制备方法. 本文采用具有可控拓扑结构和微相组成的普鲁士蓝衍生物作为前驱体, 通过热解工艺制备空心、 实心的笼状、 盒状等拓扑结构Fe/Co/C和Fe/Mn/C纳米复合电磁波吸收剂. 实心Fe/Co/C和空心Fe/Mn/C均表现出强电磁吸收和高吸收带宽, 电磁波反射系数最低为−54.6 dB, 其中900°C热解制备的实心盒状Fe/Co/C吸收剂在厚度2.5 mm时有效吸收带宽高达8.8 GHz, 刷新了该类材料的性能上限. 通过控制MOF拓扑结构来设计和调控金属/碳杂化吸波剂对于新型电磁波吸收材料的发展及其在装备隐身领域的应用具有重要意义.
