Electro-Magnetic Wave Absorbing Properties Study of Nano-Composites Based on Fe3O4

Chemical coprecipitation method, hydrothermal method and micro-emulsion method were adopted to prepare pure Fe3O4 (X1) magnetic nano-particles, reduced graphene oxide-Fe3O4 (X2) binary composites and reduced graphene oxide-Fe3O4-polyaniline (X3) ternary composites. The morphology, structure and magnetic performance were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibration sample magnetism (VSM). The result of TEM showed that Fe3O4 nano-particles distributed uniformly on the surface of graphene and PANI matrix and the mean size was bout 13 similar to 14 nm. The electromagnetic data was tested by vector network analyzer demonstrating that the minnimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of X3 was -53.94 dB at 16.1 GHz with 1.5 mm thickness and 3.82 GHz (14.18 similar to 18 GHz) absorbing bandwidth (RL<-10 dB). Compared with pure magnetic Fe3O4 powders and rGO-Fe3O4 binary composites, the rGO-Fe3O4-PANI ternary composites were conduced to a great reinforce of the electro-magnetic wave absorbing properties and absorbing bandwidth.
