Abstract
The electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the ternary nanocomposites consisting of graphene, poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and Fe3O4 nanoparticles had never been reported. Herein, in order to expand the scope of electromagnetic wave absorption materials, the nanostructured graphene/poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) hybrid materials with Fe3O4 nanoparticles had been synthesized by a controllable co-precipitation method. The nanocomposites were characterized by FTIR, XRD, TEM, Raman spectroscopy, XPS and TG analysis. The investigation of the electromagnetic parameters revealed that the excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties of the nanocomposites may be attributed to the improved impedance matching, the enhanced interfacial effects and the geometric effect. The maximum reflection loss of the nanocomposites was up to â56.5Â dB at 8.9Â GHz and the absorption bandwidths exceeding â10Â dB were 3Â GHz with a thickness of 2.9Â mm. Furthermore, our development strategies expanded the scope of the electromagnetic wave absorption materials and confirmed that the modification of graphene with poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and Fe3O4 nanoparticles makes the nanocomposites have a promising future in electromagnetic wave absorption materials.
