研究目的
Investigating the effect of cobalt doping on enhancing the electromagnetic wave absorption ability of silicon carbide nanowires and understanding the underlying mechanisms through microstructure, electronic structure, and electromagnetic parameter analysis.
研究成果
Co doping significantly enhances the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of SiC nanowires by increasing conductivity and imparting magnetic properties, leading to a minimum reflection loss of -50 dB and a 4.0 GHz effective bandwidth at 1.5 mm thickness. The synergism between dielectric and magnetic losses improves impedance matching, making Co-doped SiC nanowires promising for high-performance EM absorbers. Future work could explore other dopants or composite structures for further optimization.
研究不足
The study is limited to Co-doped SiC nanowires synthesized via carbothermal reduction; other doping methods or materials were not explored. The EM absorption was tested only in the 2.0-18.0 GHz range, and practical applications may require broader frequency or environmental testing. Sample thickness and Co concentration effects were investigated, but scalability and cost considerations were not addressed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a carbothermal reduction method to synthesize Co-doped SiC nanowires with varying Co contents. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to model electronic structures, and various characterization techniques (XRD, SEM, TEM, ESR, XPS, VSM) were used to analyze microstructure and properties. EM parameters were measured using a vector network analyzer.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included undoped SiC nanowires (C-0) and Co-doped SiC nanowires with 5 at.% (C-5) and 10 at.% (C-10) Co concentrations, synthesized from silicon powder, silicon dioxide, cobalt acetate tetrahydrate, and multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a tubular furnace for synthesis, Rigaku D max-gB diffractometer for XRD, Nano600i SEM, G-20 TEM with EDS, Bruker EMX spectrometer for ESR, PHI 5700 XPS spectrometer, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) for magnetic properties, and Agilent N5230A vector network analyzer for EM parameters. Materials were provided by Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Nanotech Port Co., Ltd.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Synthesis involved grinding and heating mixtures to 1500°C under Ar atmosphere, followed by annealing in air and HF treatment to remove impurities. Characterization steps included XRD for crystal structure, SEM/TEM for morphology, ESR for point defects, XPS for electronic states, VSM for magnetism, and EM parameter measurement with sample preparation in paraffin wax.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using CasaXPS software for XPS, DFT calculations with Cambridge Sequential Total Energy Package, and reflection loss calculations based on transmission line theory using equations provided.
