Description
Summary:For the purposes of strength, military equipment camouflage, and protecting the health of organisms, electromagnetic wave absorbing materials have received a lot of attention and are widely studied. In addition to having a strong absorption intensity and a wide effective absorption bandwidth, materials that are lightweight, thermally stable, and antioxidative are also highly desirable. In this study, we fabricated core&#8315;shell structured NiS<sub>2</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub> nanospheres anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets (NiS<sub>2</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub>/rGO) by a simple two-step hydrothermal method. The combination ratio was adjusted to achieve proper impedance matching. The electromagnetic parameters and the absorption performance were investigated in detail. A composite loaded with 30 wt.% of the sample achieved a minimum reflection loss (RL) value of &#8722;29.75 dB and the effective bandwidth (RL value of less than &#8722;10 dB) ranged from 4.95 GHz to 18.00 GHz (13.05 GHz), with a thickness ranging from 1.5 mm to 4.0 mm. This study proved that the generated significant interfacial polarization and synergetic interaction between components can result in NiS<sub>2</sub>@MoS<sub>2</sub>/rGO composites with enhanced electromagnetic absorption performance.
