Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microwave absorbing materials technology, specifically relating to a Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, various electronic products have greatly facilitated people's daily lives. However, the resulting electromagnetic pollution poses a significant threat to human health and the operation of high-precision equipment. To address this issue, researchers have developed a series of absorbing materials that are thin, lightweight, have wide bandwidth, and exhibit strong reflection loss characteristics.

[0003] Traditional microwave absorbing materials are severely limited in practical applications due to drawbacks such as high density, narrow absorption bandwidth, and a single loss mechanism. Magnetic absorbing materials, despite possessing high permeability, suffer from low dielectric constant, leading to strong reflection of electromagnetic waves at their surface and consequently low absorption efficiency. Furthermore, these materials are strictly constrained by the Snoek limit; at high frequencies, the permeability drops sharply, posing a significant challenge to achieving effective absorption over a wide frequency range.

[0004] In recent years, porous materials with low relative density and high specific surface area, such as porous zeolite materials, activated carbon, and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), have attracted increasing attention in the field of microwave absorption. As an emerging porous material, covalent organic frameworks (COFs) possess advantages such as large specific surface area, tunable pore structure, and designable composition. Furthermore, COFs exhibit good stability through strong covalent bonds and contain only lightweight elements (such as H, B, C, N, and O), giving them the potential for lightweight materials. By combining COFs with traditional magnetic materials, and through the control of porous structures, optimization of interface engineering, and design of chemical composition, wide-bandwidth and high-loss absorption performance has been achieved. For example, Zhu et al. synthesized a hollow core-shell Fe / Fe3O4@porous carbon composite material by calcining Fe3O4@COF composites, achieving a minimum reflectance (RL) of [missing value] at a thickness of 1.80 mm. min The impedance is -50.05 dB, and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) reaches 5.20 GHz. The excellent performance stems from the high specific surface area and hollow core-shell porous structure, which promotes multiple reflections and scattering of electromagnetic waves, optimizes impedance matching, and enhances wave absorption performance.

[0005] However, existing magnetic materials have high filler ratios and suffer from high permeability and low dielectric constants. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop simple and convenient methods to prepare composite materials with low filler ratios and wide bandwidths.

[0006] Therefore, developing a Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to address the issues of high permeability and low dielectric constant in traditional magnetic electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. This invention provides a Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite absorbing material and its preparation method. The dielectric loss mechanism of COF can compensate for the insufficient magnetic loss in the high-frequency band of magnetic absorbing materials, thus broadening the effective absorption bandwidth. This material has the advantages of thinness, strong absorption, and wide absorption bandwidth, and its preparation process is simple, easy to control, and low in cost.

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention discloses a method for preparing a Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material, comprising the following steps:

[0016] In S1, the volume ratio of the sodium hydroxide solution to N,N-dimethylformamide is 1:(7.5-15).

[0017] In S1, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 0.3–0.6 M.

[0018] In S1, the sodium oxyoxide solution is added to the mixed solution while stirring, and the stirring speed is 600-800 rpm.

[0019] In S1, the hydrothermal reaction is carried out under the following conditions: reaction at 100 °C for 10 h.

[0020] In S1, the washing conditions are as follows: alternating washing with anhydrous ethanol and deionized water, and washing is performed 4 to 6 times.

[0022] Furthermore, the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material prepared by the above preparation method is also within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0023] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing materials were successfully prepared by the above preparation method.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] A Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material and its preparation method, comprising the following steps:

[0046] S1. Dissolve 0.4704 g of melamine, 0.7981 g of terephthalaldehyde, 0.1661 g of terephthalic acid and 0.1745 g of nickel nitrate hexahydrate in 80 mL of a solvent consisting of dimethyl sulfoxide and N,N-dimethylformamide in a volume ratio of 1:3 to obtain a mixed solution;

[0049] Performance characterization:

[0050] 1. The phase structure of Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material was analyzed using an XRD instrument.

[0051] Figure 1 The images show the XRD patterns of the Ni / COF precursor and Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing materials prepared in Examples 1-3. Figure 1 In this context, 'a' represents the XRD patterns of the Ni / COF precursors prepared in Examples 1-3; Figure 1 Figure b shows the XRD patterns of the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing materials prepared in Examples 1-3. The broad peaks observed at approximately 23° for NC-1, NC-2, and NC-3 reveal the presence of amorphous carbon. Simultaneously, the diffraction peaks at 44.50, 51.84, and 76.37° correspond to the (111), (200), and (220) crystal planes of Ni according to the standard PDF card (JCPDS No. 04-0850), respectively. Notably, as the carbonization temperature increases, the intensity of the three Ni diffraction peaks gradually becomes sharper and stronger, indicating an increase in crystallinity. The above analysis demonstrates that Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing materials can be successfully synthesized by adjusting the carbonization temperature.

[0052] 2. The microstructure of the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material prepared in Example 2 was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy.

[0053] Figure 2 These are SEM images of the Ni / COF precursor and Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material prepared in Example 2 of this invention, wherein... Figure 2 (a~c) are SEM images of the prepared Ni / COF precursor. Figure 2 (d~f) are SEM images of the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material after carbonization at 650℃. For example... Figure 2 As shown in (a~c), the Ni / COF precursor exhibits a layered structure composed of numerous nanosheets with a size of approximately 3 μm, while COF particles are attached to the surface of the layered structure. Figure 2As shown in (d~f), the surface layered structure of the composite material is significantly affected by the calcination temperature. During pyrolysis, the number of pores on the surface of the composite material continuously increases, some layered structures collapse, and the average size shrinks slightly. This may be related to the increase in pore size, as the enlarged pore size cannot support the framework of the layered structure. Furthermore, this porous layered framework provides a transmission channel for the migration and jumping of free electrons, promoting the attenuation of electromagnetic waves.

[0054] 3. The electromagnetic parameters of the sample are analyzed using a vector network analyzer, and its absorption performance is then calculated.

[0055] Figure 3 The RL curves of the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite material prepared in Example 1 are shown in the range of 1.00–5.50 mm. Figure 4 The RL curves of the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite material prepared in Example 2 are shown in the range of 1.00–5.50 mm. Figure 5 The RL curves for the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite material prepared in Example 3 are shown in the range of 1.00–5.50 mm. Figure 3 As can be seen, NC-1 (the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite material prepared in Example 1) at a thickness of 3.00 mm exhibits high RL. min The value is -18.84 dB, and the EAB value is 5.04 GHz (12.32-17.36 GHz).

[0056] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the RL of NC-2 (the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite material prepared in Example 2) min The EAB value is significantly improved compared to NC-1 at thicknesses of 2.23, 2.40, and 3.00 mm. min The values ​​were -55.16, -44.67, and -32.31 dB, respectively, achieving electromagnetic wave absorption performance in the X and Ku bands. When the thickness was 2.40 mm, the EAB value reached 6.40 GHz (11.60–18.00 GHz), with a larger absorption bandwidth compared to NC-1. The EAB effectively covered the entire Ku band, satisfying both good absorption capability and a wide absorption bandwidth. The improved absorption performance is attributed to strong electromagnetic attenuation and good impedance matching characteristics.

[0057] from Figure 5 As can be seen, the microwave absorption performance of NC-3 (the Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite material prepared in Example 3) gradually decreases with increasing carbonization temperature. The RL at 2.29 mm... minThe value is -21.93 dB, and the EAB value at 2.40 mm is 6.00 GHz (11.68–17.68 GHz). The reduced absorption performance is likely due to impedance mismatch. Clearly, the sample's RL... min The EAB value initially increases and then decreases with increasing carbonization temperature. These results indicate that tunable electromagnetic wave absorption can be effectively achieved by adjusting the carbonization temperature, thereby enhancing reflection loss and achieving a wider absorption bandwidth. Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite materials exhibit excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance, fulfilling the requirements of "thin, light, wide, and strong" for microwave absorbing materials.

[0058] This invention provides a Ni / nitrogen-doped carbon composite microwave absorbing material and its preparation method. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
