| Abstract | In recent years, the high-performance microwave absorbers with strong loss, broad frequency bandwidth, thin thickness and light weight have been intensively investigated to address the problem of electromagnetic pollution and improve stealth technology. Considering the fact that microwave absorption performance is quite sensitive to morphology, studying NiCo2O4 with different morphologies is a valuable step towards developing a high-performance microwave absorber. The different morphologies are prepared by adjusting the addition of the structure-directing agent NH4F. When the amount of added NH4F is 1 mmol, a flower-like NiCo2O4 morphology (NC–F1) is obtained with a large specific surface area of 158.97 m2/g and pore volume of 0.3525 cm3g-1, which easily generates conductive loss, polarization loss, and multiple scattering, thereby enhancing its microwave absorption performance. The maximum reflection loss reaches −50.3 dB at 3 mm, and the effective bandwidth is 4 GHz with the matching thickness of 2 mm when the fill ratio is only 30 wt% in the epoxy resin. As the thicknesses range from 1.5 mm to 5 mm, the effective bandwidth is 14.2 GHz (3.8 GHz–18 GHz) and covers the entire C, X, and Ku bands. Therefore, the defined-morphology NiCo2O4 is expected to be a novel wide-band and strong-loss microwave absorber. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. |
