Abstract
Nanocomposites with engineered heterogeneous structures and multi-component designs demonstrate significant potential for enhancing electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance. In this study, MoO2/S-doped carbon nanofibers (MoO2/S-CNF) were synthesized through a combination of electrospinning, oxidative stabilization, and high-temperature carbonization. The MoO2/S-CNF achieved a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of −61.26 dB at 9.43 GHz with a thickness of 3.65 mm, alongside an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.81 GHz, covering the entire X band. When the thickness was reduced to 2.65 mm, the EABmax reached 6.85 GHz, fully encompassing the Ku band. Moreover, CST simulations confirmed the practical applicability of MoO2/S-CNF in prospective high-frequency applications. The remarkable EMW attenuation performance is attributed to superior impedance matching, enhanced conduction loss, and multiple polarization mechanisms. This work provides a novel strategy for synthesizing carbon-based fibers and offers valuable insights for developing broadband-absorbing materials.
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.
