NiMnO Anchored on Reduced Graphene Oxide Nanosheets: A New High-Performance Microwave Absorbing Material.

With the increasing influence of electromagnetic radiation on precision instruments and organisms, there is an urgent need for research on lightweight and high-strength electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. This study has probed into a new composite absorbing material based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-NiMnO, where the like-core-shell NiMnO is anchored on the rGO nanosheets to significantly improve the electromagnetic wave dissipation ability of the composite material using the inter-component dipole polarization and interface polarization. At the same time, NiMnO can effectively adjust the impedance matching ratio of rGO so that electromagnetic waves can effectively enter the absorbing material. At a thickness of 3.73 mm, the maximum absorption strength of rGO-NiMnO reaches -61.4 dB at 6.6 GHz; at a thickness of 2.5 mm, the adequate absorption bandwidth is 10.04-18.00 GHz, achieving a full coverage for the Ku band. As a new option for preparing lightweight and broadband electromagnetic wave absorbing materials, rGO-NiMnO is an ideal material for electromagnetic wave protection.
