Effects of degree of graphitization of C shells on microwave absorption of Fe-C core-shell nanoparticles with excellent comparability

doi:10.1016/j.jmst.2023.09.020

Abstract

Abstract: In this study, Fe-C core-shell nanoparticles with identical metal core sizes and C shell thicknesses but varying degrees of graphitization of C shells were fabricated using metal-organic chemical vapor depo-sition and subsequent annealing. Due to the identical metal core, these nanoparticles exhibite a similar permeability, but significantly varying permittivity depending on how much C shells have been graphi-tized. It was discovered that proper graphitization of Fe-C nanoparticles annealed at 1350 °C can pro-duce excellent microwave absorption (MA), decent dielectric loss tangent in high frequency region, and moderately strong dielectric loss and attenuation properties. Furthermore, the threshold value of 1 /ωis discovered to be a crucial parameter in the theoretical analysis of nonlinear behavior of polarization loss, and thus MA performance of the nanoparticles. This research offers a useful method for creating metal-C nanoparticles with various levels of C shell graphitization. It also provides a clear answer to the crucial question of how the level of C shell graphitization affects the MA performance of metal-C nanoparticles. These results may serve as a reference for the development and mechanism analysis of highly effective metal-C based absorbers.
