Abstract
In this paper, we designed a core@double-shell nanostructure to enhance the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of hybrid nanospheres. Herein, the core@double-shell structured Fe 3 O 4 @polyaniline@MnO 2 nanospheres were successfully prepared by a facile solvothermal process and in situ polymerization methods. The morphology, structure, magnetism and microwave absorption properties were studied. The results reveal that the FPM nanospheres exhibit extraordinary microwave absorbing performance compared to those of either Fe 3 O 4 or Fe 3 O 4 @polyaniline nanospheres. The minimum reflection loss of the FPM nanospheres is [Formula: see text]14.7[Formula: see text]dB at 15.76[Formula: see text]GHz with the thickness of 3.5[Formula: see text]mm, and the corresponding effective absorption bandwidth can reach 4.75[Formula: see text]GHz. The perfect EMW absorption of nanospheres can be ascribed to multi-interface polarization, multiple reflections and good impedance matching originated from the core@double-shell nanostructure.
