Abstract
The development of high-efficiency titanate-based electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbers presents a significant challenge, primarily due to the limited number of loss mechanisms available in such materials. Herein, an innovative approach has been employed, utilizing g-C3N4 as a connecting bridge linking KTi8O16.5 nanorods with Fe2O3 nanoparticles, thereby crafting a KTO/Fe2O3–CN absorber with a dual heterojunction architecture. This sophisticated structure is realized through a detailed freeze-drying process followed by heat treatment. In this structure, g-C3N4 and KTi8O16.5 originate from melamine and MXene precursors, respectively, while Fe2O3 component is derived from the thermal decomposition of FeSO4. The integrated KTO/Fe2O3–CN system fosters enhanced interfacial and dipole polarization, as well as conduction and magnetic loss, all collaboratively aiding in the attenuation of EM waves. In addition, the specially designed EMW absorber is notable for its lightweight nature, along with impressive heat dissipation and resistant performance. It demonstrates exceptional thermal stability, capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 500 °C and sustaining repeated thermal cycles at 400 °C. This strategy not only elevates the efficacy of titanate-based EMW absorbers but also paves the way for the conceptualization of high-performance, multifunctional EMW absorption materials. Such advancements hold the promise of transforming a wide range of applications that necessitate effective EM wave attenuation, marking a significant leap forward in the field.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
