[0036] The present invention will be further explained and illustrated below in conjunction with specific examples.

[0037] Example:

[0038] A kind of hollow iron oxide nanoparticles, and its preparation method is as follows:

[0039] 1) 1.89 g of ferric chloride hexahydrate, 2.52 g of sodium acetate, 0.875 g of PEG-2000, and 2 mL of a polystyrene microsphere dispersion with a concentration of 25 g / L (particle size 200 nm to 500 nm) were added to 35 mL of ethylene glycol, stirred overnight, then transferred to a high-pressure reactor and reacted at 200 °C for 12 h. The product was then washed cyclically with ethanol and water, and magnetically separated using a magnet to obtain magnetic nanoparticles;

[0040] 2) The magnetic nanoparticles were washed multiple times with tetrahydrofuran, then washed cyclically with ethanol and water, and magnetically separated using a magnet to obtain hollow iron oxide nanoparticles (denoted as H-Fe 3 O 4 ).

[0041] A microwave absorption material, the preparation method thereof is as follows:

[0042] Polypyrrole (number average molecular weight 1700 g / mol; PPY) and the above-mentioned hollow iron oxide nanoparticles were stirred and mixed evenly according to a mass ratio of 1:1 to obtain a microwave absorption material (denoted as H-Fe 3 O 4 +PPY).

[0043] Performance test:

[0044] 1) The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles in this example are as shown in Figure 1 (a and b are SEM images at different magnifications), and the particle size distribution diagram is as shown in Figure 2 .

[0045] From Figure 1 and Figure 2 it can be seen that: the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles have an open hollow spherical structure, the particle size is concentrated in the range of 400 nm to 1000 nm, and the diameter of the internal cavity is concentrated in the range of 200 nm to 500 nm.

[0046] 2) The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles in this example is as shown in Figure 3 .

[0047] From Figure 3 it can be seen that: the phase composition of the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles is iron oxide.

[0048] 3) The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm curve of the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles in this example is as shown in Figure 4 .

[0049] From Figure 4It can be known that the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles contain micropores with a diameter of 15 nm to 55 nm.

[0050] 4) The magnetic properties of the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles in this example were tested using a vibrating sample magnetometer, and the obtained hysteresis loop is as Figure 5 shown.

[0051] From Figure 5 it can be known that the hollow iron oxide nanoparticles have the characteristics of a weak soft magnetic material.

[0052] 5) The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) diagram of the microwave absorption material in this example is as Figure 6 shown.

[0053] From Figure 6 it can be known that the composition elements of the microwave absorption material are elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and iron.

[0054] 6) The infrared spectrum diagram of the microwave absorption material in this example is as Figure 7 shown.

[0055] From Figure 7 it can be known that the microwave absorption material contains the high molecular polymer polypyrrole.

[0056] 7) The complex dielectric parameters and complex magnetic permeability of the microwave absorption material in this example were tested using an Agilent N5242A PNA-X vector network analyzer. The testing process: The microwave absorption material and paraffin were ground and mixed evenly according to a mass ratio of 1:0.25 (the mass percentages of PPY, H-Fe 3 O 4 and paraffin are 40%, 40%, and 20% in sequence), then injected into a mold and pressed into a circular ring sample (outer diameter is 6.99 mm, inner diameter is 2.99 mm), and then the electromagnetic parameters in the frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz were tested by the coaxial probe method. The obtained 3D reflection loss diagram and 2D mapping diagram are as Figure 8 (a is the 3D reflection loss diagram, b is the 2D mapping diagram) shown, and the reflection loss and electromagnetic shielding diagram are as Figure 9 (a is the reflection loss diagram, b is the electromagnetic shielding diagram) shown. The real part (ε r ′), imaginary part (ε r ″), and dielectric loss factor (tanδ e ) test results are as Figure 10 (a is ε r ′, b is ε r ″, c is tanδ e ) shown, and the relative complex magnetic permeability (μ r = μ r ′ - jμ r ″) test results are asFigure 11 as shown

[0057] It can be seen from Figure 8 that the distribution of the minimum reflection loss of the microwave absorption material under different thicknesses (1 mm to 5 mm) in the frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz is obtained.

[0058] It can be seen from Figure 9 a in that when the thickness is 2 mm, the minimum reflection loss of the microwave absorption material is -41.041 dB ± 5 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EBW(RL ≤ -10 dB)) is 3.44 GHz ± 0.5 GHz, and the effective absorption band covers the X band.

[0059] It can be seen from Figure 9 b in that the microwave absorption material does not have significant microwave shielding performance, only electromagnetic wave absorption performance.

[0060] It can be seen from Figure 10 that the dielectric loss is the main reason for the microwave absorption material to achieve electromagnetic wave absorption.

[0061] It can be seen from Figure 11 that the relative complex permeability obtained by the coaxial probe method test is a stable and reliable test result.

[0062] 8) The complex permittivity and complex permeability of hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with different ratios are measured by using an Agilent N5242A PNA-X vector network analyzer in the United States. The test process: The hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and paraffin are ground and mixed evenly according to the mass ratio of 1:0.2 to 0.8, and then injected into a mold and pressed into a circular ring sample (outer diameter is 6.99 mm, inner diameter is 2.99 mm). Then, the electromagnetic parameters in the frequency range of 2 GHz to 18 GHz are measured by the coaxial probe method, and the obtained reflection loss diagram is as Figure 12 shown

[0063] It can be seen from Figure 12 that

[0064] a) As the ratio of hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles increases, the hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles show certain microwave absorption performance. However, when only using hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (without using polypyrrole), the ratio of hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles is greater than 80% to have significant microwave absorption performance. At this time, the ratio of hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles is too large, and the pressed circular ring sample is loose in texture and easy to break, and does not have practical application value;

[0065] b) Composite the hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles and polypyrrole. When the proportion of the hollow Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles reaches 40%, excellent microwave absorption performance is exhibited. At this time, the pressed ring sample is dense in texture, high in mechanical strength, and has broad application prospects.

Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be equivalent replacement methods and are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
