Excellent microwave absorption of carbon black/reduced graphene oxide composite with low loading
Source abstract
Abstract
Absorbents with lightweight, low filler loading and broadband absorption are highly desired in electromagnetic wave absorbing field. Herein, the carbon black/reduced graphene oxide (CB/RGO) composite materials were fabricated via a facile synthetic method. The composite absorbents demonstrate an excellent microwave absorption performance. With the low filler loading of 7 wt%, the maximum absorption is as strong as 47.5 dB and the effective absorption bandwidth (reflection loss < −10 dB) reaches 5.92 GHz covering 37% of the entire measured bandwidth at only 2.2 mm thickness. Compared with the CB particles, CB/RGO composites possess higher absorption intensity and broader effective absorption bandwidth. This work provides a feasible approach for the design and synthesis of composite absorbents with lightweight and high-performance absorption.
