Abstract
The employment of microwave absorbents is highly desirable to address the increasing threats of electromagnetic pollution. Importantly, developing ultrathin absorbent is acknowledged as a linchpin in the design of lightweight and flexible electronic devices, but there are remaining unprecedented challenges. Herein, the self-assembly VS4/rGO heterostructure is constructed to be engineered as ultrathin microwave absorbent through the strategies of architecture design and interface engineering. The microarchitecture and heterointerface of VS4/rGO heterostructure can be regulated by the generation of VS4 nanorods anchored on rGO, which can effectively modulate the impedance matching and attenuation constant. The maximum reflection loss of 2VS4/rGO40 heterostructure can reach − 43.5 dB at 14 GHz with the impedance matching and attenuation constant approaching 0.98 and 187, respectively. The effective absorption bandwidth of 4.8 GHz can be achieved with an ultrathin thickness of 1.4 mm. The far-reaching comprehension of the heterointerface on microwave absorption performance is explicitly unveiled by experimental results and theoretical calculations. Microarchitecture and heterointerface synergistically inspire multi-dimensional advantages to enhance dipole polarization, interfacial polarization, and multiple reflections and scatterings of microwaves. Overall, the strategies of architecture design and interface engineering pave the way for achieving ultrathin and enhanced microwave absorption materials.
期刊介绍:
Nano-Micro Letters is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary and open-access journal that focus on science, experiments, engineering, technologies and applications of nano- or microscale structure and system in physics, chemistry, biology, material science, pharmacy and their expanding interfaces with at least one dimension ranging from a few sub-nanometers to a few hundreds of micrometers. Especially, emphasize the bottom-up approach in the length scale from nano to micro since the key for nanotechnology to reach industrial applications is to assemble, to modify, and to control nanostructure in micro scale. The aim is to provide a publishing platform crossing the boundaries, from nano to micro, and from science to technologies.
