Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flexible microwave absorbing materials, and more specifically to a transition metal oxide and / or transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of modern technology and the rapid development of information technology, especially with the rapid development of 5G technology, electronic devices are constantly evolving towards higher frequencies and increasing power. The environmental impact of leaked electromagnetic radiation is becoming increasingly significant. Furthermore, with the expanding market for wearable electronics, high-performance flexible absorbing materials have become an important direction for future development.

[0003] Carbon fiber woven fabric has important applications in many research fields due to its excellent self-supporting structure, flexibility, thermal stability, chemical stability, and high conductivity. However, the high conductivity of carbon fabric can easily lead to impedance mismatch, causing electromagnetic wave reflection and hindering electromagnetic wave absorption. Therefore, achieving good impedance matching is a key research focus. To improve this problem, modifying the surface of carbon fabric with semiconductor materials may be an effective measure.

[0004] Transition metal salts, oxides, and sulfides are considered good surface modification materials for carbon cloth due to their controllable microstructure and simple synthesis methods. Patent application CN114421180A discloses a method for preparing a needle-shaped nickel cobalt oxide / hydrophilic carbon cloth microwave absorbing composite material. This method involves impregnating hydrophilic carbon cloth in a mixture of nickel salt, cobalt salt, and urea, then transferring it to an autoclave for hydrothermal treatment to obtain a needle-shaped nickel cobalt oxide precursor / hydrophilic carbon cloth. The carbon cloth material is then subjected to heat treatment under different atmospheres to obtain the needle-shaped nickel cobalt oxide / hydrophilic carbon cloth microwave absorbing composite material.

[0005] The invention patent application with publication number CN115323766A discloses a method for preparing a cobalt tetroxide / carbon cloth flexible microwave absorbing material. The method involves adding acid-treated carbon cloth to a mixture of cobalt salt and dimethylimidazole to obtain a cobalt-metal-organic framework / carbon cloth, and then annealing the carbon cloth in an air atmosphere to obtain the cobalt tetroxide / carbon cloth flexible microwave absorbing material.

[0006] While existing technologies have laid some foundation for the research of carbon cloth absorbing composite materials, current modifications to the carbon cloth surface are mostly single materials, and the reported control methods are primarily based on microstructure and defect manipulation, offering limited control over absorption performance and failing to meet current application requirements. Constructing heterojunction structures, however, can optimize the carrier transport characteristics of semiconductors, enhance conduction and polarization losses, and significantly alter the electromagnetic parameters of the material through different heterojunction morphologies, thereby achieving a wide range of impedance matching adjustments to meet diverse needs. Therefore, further research is needed to effectively construct heterojunction structures on the carbon cloth surface to improve the material's electromagnetic wave absorption performance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing a transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material. This invention utilizes a hydrothermal treatment method to prepare the transition metal oxide / carbon cloth. This preparation method is simple, and the resulting carbon cloth material exhibits excellent electromagnetic absorption performance, meeting the requirements for flexible applications.

[0008] A method for preparing a transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material includes the following steps:

[0009] (1) Add the metal salt and sodium citrate to a mixed solvent of ethanol and water, and then stir until completely dissolved to obtain a mixed solution;

[0010] (2) The hydrophilic carbon cloth was placed in a nitric acid solution, ultrasonically treated, then removed, washed, and dried to obtain the acid-treated hydrophilic carbon cloth.

[0011] (3) The acid-treated hydrophilic carbon cloth is placed in the mixed solution obtained in step (1), and the hydrophilic carbon cloth is completely wetted to obtain a mixture of solution and carbon cloth.

[0012] (4) The mixture of solution and carbon cloth is transferred to a hydrothermal reactor and kept at a constant temperature. After the reaction is completed and the reactor is cooled to room temperature, the carbon cloth is taken out, washed and dried to obtain a transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material.

[0013] Preferably, the metal salt is one or more metal anions such as chloride, nitrate, and sulfate of the corresponding transition metal.

[0014] Preferably, the molar ratio of the metal salt to sodium citrate is 1:0.1-5, the volume ratio of ethanol to water in the mixture of ethanol and water is 1:0.1-10, and the mass ratio of the mixed solvent to the mixed solution is 1:5-50.

[0015] Preferably, the mass ratio of the hydrophilic carbon cloth to the nitric acid solution is 1:50-300, and the concentration of the nitric acid solution is 5-40 wt%.

[0016] Preferably, the impregnation is performed by placing a mixture of solution and carbon cloth in a vacuum chamber and subjecting it to vacuum treatment.

[0017] Preferably, the heat preservation temperature is 110-180℃ and the heat preservation time is 2-24 hours.

[0018] Preferably, the transition metal oxide includes oxides of various valence states of transition metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, or Sn.

[0019] More preferably, the transition metal oxide is Fe2O3, Co3O4, NiO, CuO, ZnO, or SnO2, etc.

[0020] The present invention also provides a transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material obtained by the above preparation method.

[0021] This invention also provides a method for preparing transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite absorbing materials or transition metal oxide / transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite absorbing materials. This method mainly addresses the problem of insufficient control over the absorption performance of current single semiconductor materials by constructing a heterojunction interface on the surface of the carbon cloth. The preparation process is simple, the microstructure and composition of the obtained material are controllable, and it can significantly improve the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of the material.

[0022] A method for preparing a transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material or a transition metal oxide / transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material includes the following steps:

[0023] (1) Add the sulfur-containing compound to the alcohol solution and stir until completely dissolved to obtain a mixed solution of the sulfur-containing compound;

[0024] (2) The transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material prepared above is placed into the mixed solution of sulfur-containing compounds above and soaked to obtain a mixture of sulfur-containing compound solution and transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material;

[0025] (3) The mixture of sulfur-containing compound solution and transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material is transferred to a hydrothermal reactor and kept warm. The content of transition metal sulfides in the reaction product is controlled by adjusting the temperature and time of the heat preservation treatment. After the reaction is completed, the carbon cloth is taken out after the reactor is cooled to room temperature, washed and dried to obtain transition metal oxide / transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material or transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material.

[0026] Different reaction temperatures can control the activity of sulfur (S) in solution. S has a lower electronegativity than oxygen (O). Under high temperature and high pressure reaction conditions rich in S, S tends to replace oxygen. The higher the temperature, the stronger its activity and the easier it is to replace oxygen in oxides. Different holding times can control the development of its crystal structure and better grow specific micromorphologies.

[0027] This invention controls the content of transition metal sulfides in the reaction products by adjusting the temperature and time of the heat treatment. Preferably, temperature adjustment is used, as the higher the temperature, the shorter the time required for the oxide to be completely converted into sulfides.

[0028] This invention allows for the matching of the holding temperature and time according to different reaction raw materials, the amount of raw materials, and the required content of transition metal sulfides in the final product, to obtain the desired product. Preferably, the matching is performed within the range of a holding temperature of 100-240℃ and a holding time of 2-24 hours.

[0029] Preferably, when the heat preservation temperature is between 100-220℃ and the heat preservation time is within 10 hours, the reaction product is a transition metal oxide / transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material.

[0030] Preferably, when the heat preservation temperature exceeds 200°C and the heat preservation time exceeds 6 hours, the oxide is completely converted into sulfide, and the reaction product is a transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite microwave absorbing material.

[0031] By constructing heterojunction structures of different transition metal oxides / transition metal sulfides on the surface of carbon cloth through a secondary hydrothermal reaction, the carrier transport performance of the material is changed, the electromagnetic parameters of the material are adjusted over a wide range, thereby enhancing the material's ability to absorb electromagnetic waves, optimizing impedance matching, and improving wave absorption performance.

[0032] Preferably, the sulfur-containing compound is thiourea, thioacetamide, or sodium sulfide, etc.; the organic alcohol solution is an alcohol solution such as methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol; and the mass ratio of the sulfur-containing compound to the organic alcohol solution is 1:5-50.

[0033] Preferably, the transition metal sulfides include sulfides of various valence states of transition metals such as Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, or Sn.

[0034] More preferably, the transition metal sulfide is FeS2, CoS2, NiS, CuS, ZnS, or SnS2, etc.

[0035] This invention also provides a transition metal oxide / transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite absorbing material or a transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite absorbing material prepared by the above method. The surface of the transition metal oxide / transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite absorbing material exhibits a heterogeneous phase interface structure, and its electromagnetic wave absorption performance is higher than that of its corresponding transition metal oxide / carbon cloth composite absorbing material or transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth composite absorbing material. That is, this material possesses a larger effective bandwidth and a lower maximum reflectivity compared to its corresponding individual transition metal oxide or transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0037] (1) The preparation method of the present invention is simple, the microstructure and composition of the carbon cloth composite material are controllable, and it can meet the needs of flexible applications.

[0038] (2) Compared with modifying the surface of carbon cloth with a single material, this invention uses a two-stage hydrothermal reaction method to prepare a composite microwave absorbing material of transition metal oxide / transition metal sulfide / carbon cloth. This method constructs different heterojunction structures of transition metal oxide / sulfide on the surface of carbon cloth, thereby changing the carrier transport performance of the resulting composite microwave absorbing material, adjusting the electromagnetic parameters of the material over a wide range, thereby enhancing the material's ability to absorb electromagnetic waves, optimizing impedance matching, and improving microwave absorption performance, which can meet the requirements of thin layer, wide bandwidth, and strong absorption.
