Abstract:
To address the impact of electromagnetic radiation and interference on the operation of electronic equipment to a certain extent and potential harm to human health, M-type strontium ferrite (SrFe
12O
19) nanosheets were prepared by the hydrothermal method. Subsequently, Ag
3PO
4 nanoparticles with different contents were attached to the surface of SrFe
12O
19 by iron exchange method to prepare SrFe
12O
19/Ag
3PO
4 series nanocomposite samples. The structural and morphologies were characterized and analyzed by X ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Magnetic properties and microwave absorption properties were measured and analyzed by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and vector network analyzer (VNA), and the effect of different amounts of silver phosphate attachment on the microwave absorption properties of the nanocomposites was explored.The results indicate that Ag
3PO
4 nanoparticles adhere to the surface of the hexagonal strontium ferrite sheets, as the content of Ag
3PO
4 increases, the amount of Ag
3PO
4 attached to the surface of SrFe
12O
19 also increases. For the mass fraction of 3% Ag
3PO
4, the minimum reflection loss of SrFe
12O
19/Ag
3PO
4 composites reaches −23.6 dB with a matching thickness of 5.0 mm. The reflection loss less than −5.0 dB is obtained in 4.0 GHz(3.9−7.9 GHz) for an absorber thickness of 5.5 mm, indicating that SrFe
12O
19/Ag
3PO
4 nanocomposites have good application prospects in the field of microwave absorption.
