Abstract

Fe3O4/SiO2 porous nanorods with one-dimensional core/shell structure and high aspect ratio have been synthesized as an absorber by a wet chemical method. Based on the nanorods, flexible Fe3O4/SiO2/PVDF nanocomposites have been first prepared by embedding the Fe3O4/SiO2 nanorods in a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix. The Fe3O4/SiO2/PVDF nanocomposite with a filler content of 40 wt% shows excellent microwave absorption performance over 2-18 GHz, and the minimum reflection loss (RL) can reach -28.6 dB when the thickness is 2.5 mm. The mechanisms for the enhanced microwave absorption performance were clarified based on the unique structural features as well as the synergetic effect between multiple components.
