Song Z, Yang Y, Hou P, Zhang X, Liang S, Chen J. Wave absorbing properties of Ni Nanoparticle/CNT composite film fabricated by AAO/CNTs electrode. Heliyon 2024; 10:e26054. [PMID: 38404821 PMCID: PMC10884799 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2023] [Revised: 02/07/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024] Open
Abstract
An effective wave absorbing Nano-Ni/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite film was developed by electrodeposition using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO)/CNTs electrode. Scanning electron microscopy images confirmed the uniform dispersion of Ni nano-particles within the CNTs, and the particle diameter increasing from 20 nm to 100 nm as the deposition time increased. XRD test results revealed that the crystal phase of the Ni nano-particles remained unchanged during different deposition time, exhibiting a Face Center Cubic (fcc) structure. The microwave electromagnetic properties of the film were evaluated using a vector network analyzer, and the return loss curve demonstrated that the Ni nano-particles/CNTs composite exhibited exceptional wave absorption capabilities. The composite film showed an effective absorption width of 13 GHz (4-17 GHz) and achieved a minimum reflection loss (RL) of -17 dB at 14 GHz.

High-Temperature, Lightweight Ceramics with Nano-Sized Ferrites for EMI Shielding: Synthesis, Characterisation, and Potential Applications. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:7615. [PMID: 38138758 PMCID: PMC10744912 DOI: 10.3390/ma16247615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
The present study focuses on the synthesis and characterisation of a lightweight ceramic material with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding properties, achieved using mullite containing micrometre-sized hollow spheres (cenospheres) and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles. This research explores compositions with varying CoFe2O4 contents ranging from 0 up to 20 wt.%. Conventional sintering in an air atmosphere is carried out at a temperature between 1100 and 1300 °C. The addition of ferrite nanoparticles was found to enhance the process of sintering cenospheres, resulting in improved material density and mechanical properties. Furthermore, this study reveals a direct correlation between the concentration of ferrite nanoparticles and the electromagnetic properties of the material. By increasing the concentration of ferrite nanoparticles, the electromagnetic shielding effect of the material (saturation magnetisation (Ms) and remanent magnetisation (Mr)) was observed to strengthen. These findings provide valuable insights into designing and developing lightweight ceramic materials with enhanced electromagnetic shielding capabilities. The synthesized ceramic material holds promise for various applications that require effective electromagnetic shielding, such as in the electronics, telecommunications, and aerospace industries.
