摘要
The impedance mismatch of carbon materials is a key factor limiting their widespread use in electromagnetic(EM)wave absorption.In this work,the novel CeO_(2)/nitrogen-doped carbon(CeO_(2)/N-C)nanofiber was prepared to solve the problem by electrospinning and sintering.X-ray diffraction(XRD),Raman,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)analyses demonstrated CeO_(2)was successfully loaded onto the surface of partially graphitized carbon fibers.Different sintering temperatures change the graphitization degree of material,and the oxygen vacancy structure of CeO_(2)and defects from N doping optimize the impedance matching of the material.When the sintering temperature reaches 950℃,CeO_(2)/N-C fiber possesses the minimum reflection loss(RLmin)value of−42.59 dB at 2.5 mm with a filler loading of only 3 wt.%in polyvinylidene difluoride(PVDF).Meanwhile,the CeO_(2)/N-C fiber achieves a surprising wideband(8.48 GHz)at a thickness of 2.5 mm,covering the whole Ku-band as well as 63%of the X-band at the sintering temperature of 650℃.This work provides the research basis for widely commercial applications of carbon-based nanofiber absorbers.
