摘要

The phases, electromagnetic properties, and microstructure of a silane- modified activated carbon @ZnFe2O4 binary nanocomposite were investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, FT-IR, and a vector network analyzer. The microwave absorption properties in the frequency range of 7.5–11.4 GHz were measured at room temperature. The results showed that increasing the amount of activated carbon in a composite material increases the complex permittivity, which affects the microwave absorbance. Silane-modified AC@ZnFe2O4 composites with a thickness of 1.8 mm have a minimum reflection loss of − 1.3 dB at 7.5 GHz, and a maximum reflection loss of − 15.6 dB at 9.3 GHz (from 7.5 to 11.4 GHz). The exceptional microwave absorption properties of the unique composite material suggest that it could be a new candidate for a lightweight electromagnetic wave absorption material.
