Abstract
Abstract With the rapid development of science and technology, stealth and anti‐corrosion activities in oceans have attracted widespread attention. This study successfully prepares CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 with a core–shell structure. This core–shell structure endows the CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 with good impedance matching and interfacial polarization. Thus, the CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 exhibits an excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance with a minimum reflection loss of −45.16 dB. Moreover, the CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 exhibits an excellent dispersion ability in epoxy. The corrosion resistance of the CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 /epoxy is enhanced. After 60 days of immersion, the low‐frequency impedance modulus of the CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 /epoxy is still >10 9 Ω cm 2 . The CoFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 realize the dual functions of stealth and anti‐corrosion, which provide ideas for developing marine stealth applications.
