Core-shell structured Co@NC@MoS2 magnetic hierarchical nanotubes: Preparation and microwave absorbing properties

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2022.04.026

Abstract

Abstract:

In this study, a new lightweight one-dimensional absorber Co@NC@MoS₂ was designed and prepared. Firstly, polydopamine (PDA) was coated by oxidative self-polymerization with cobalt-nitrilotriacetic acid chelate nanowires (Co-NTAC) as template. Then core-shell structured magnetic hierarchical nanotubes (Co@PDA@MoS₂) were prepared by one-step hydrothermal method. After thermal annealing, PDA layer was transformed into nitrogen doped carbon layer (NC) to obtain the efficient microwave absorber Co@NC@MoS₂. The removal of template and growth of MoS₂ were completed simultaneously, the preparation process was simplified. Because of its good magnetic loss and dielectric loss, Co@NC@MoS₂ shows excellent microwave absorption performance. Under filler content of 15 wt.%, the minimum reflection loss (RL_min) can reach -61.97 dB@9.2 GHz, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is 5.6 GHz. The electromagnetic parameters of Co@NC@MoS₂ can be further adjusted by changing the load of MoS₂. Meanwhile, the structure and composition of Co@NC@MoS₂ were systematically analyzed. The influence of the microstructure on the microwave absorbing properties was investigated, and the microwave attenuation mechanism is revealed. As an efficient and lightweight absorber, Co@NC@MoS₂ has potential application value in the construction of new stealth coatings.
