Synthesis of RGO/Cu@ FeAlO Composites and Its Applications in Electromagnetic Microwave Absorption Coatings.

In order to satisfy the requirements of wide frequency bands, the lightweight and strong absorption for the electromagnetic wave absorbing materials, a uniform mixture of FeAlO with RGO/Cu (reduction graphene oxide, RGO) was obtained by the mechanical mixing method, and composite coating was obtained by plasma spraying. The addition of RGO/Cu into FeAlO is conducive to improve the dielectric properties and the impedance matching performance of spinel. When the RGO/Cu composite powders are doped by 10 wt.%, the reflection loss at 15 GHz is -16 dB and the absorption bandwidth is 2 GHz, indicating that the composite material has potential application value in the field of high-frequency wave absorption. The research on the electromagnetic wave absorption mechanism shows that its superior wave absorption performance is determined by the synergistic effect of multiple loss mechanisms such as interfacial polarization, dipole relaxation, natural resonance, exchange resonance, and eddy current loss.
