Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of microwave absorbing materials technology, specifically to a high-entropy alloy FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic devices, miniaturized communication equipment, and high-speed wireless networks, electromagnetic radiation problems are becoming increasingly prominent. Excessive electromagnetic waves not only cause electromagnetic interference between devices but also adversely affect human health and the normal operation of precision instruments. Therefore, developing novel electromagnetic wave absorbing materials with lightweight, wide-bandwidth, and highly efficient absorption properties has become an important research direction in the field of electromagnetic protection and absorption. Traditional absorbing materials such as ferrites, carbides, and conductive polymers, while possessing certain absorption capabilities in some frequency bands, generally suffer from drawbacks such as high density, complex manufacturing processes, poor impedance matching, and narrow bandwidth, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern multi-band electromagnetic protection systems.

[0003] In recent years, high-entropy alloys have become important candidates for next-generation electromagnetic absorbing materials due to their multi-component design concept, complex solid solution structure, and excellent magnetic loss and conductivity properties. High-entropy systems can achieve randomization of composition and lattice at the atomic scale through multi-element inter-modulation, thereby improving magnetic anisotropy, enhancing interfacial polarization and dipole relaxation effects, which is beneficial for achieving broadband absorption characteristics. However, traditional high-entropy alloys are mostly prepared using high-temperature or vacuum methods such as melting and sputtering, which are costly and difficult to combine with flexible substrates, limiting their application in lightweight, flexible electromagnetic protection.

[0004] Porous materials can serve as ideal lightweight carriers and conductive networks, significantly improving the impedance matching characteristics and interfacial polarization intensity of microwave absorbers. If a multi-element high-entropy alloy can be uniformly deposited on the substrate surface to form an integrated composite structure, not only can a tight bond be achieved between the high-entropy phase and the substrate framework, avoiding interfacial delamination problems, but the multi-level porous structure of the substrate can also be fully utilized to enhance the multiple reflections and attenuation of electromagnetic waves, thereby obtaining efficient and stable electromagnetic wave absorption performance. Based on this, this application discloses a high-entropy alloy FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems of complex preparation processes, weak bonding with substrates, insufficient flexibility, and narrow absorption bandwidth of high-entropy alloys in existing technologies. It provides a high-entropy alloy FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material and its preparation method, aiming to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing a high-entropy alloy FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Prepare the electrolyte, which includes the following components: ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, cobalt sulfate heptahydrate, copper sulfate pentahydrate, nickel sulfate hexahydrate, sodium tungstate dihydrate, complexing agent, buffer, reducing agent, and surfactant; adjust the pH of the electrolyte to 6.0~7.0; Step 2: Using an electrode rod as the anode and a conductive substrate as the cathode, electrodeposition is performed on the surface of the conductive substrate using the electrolyte prepared in Step 1 to obtain FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material. Step 3: Heat-treat the FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material prepared in Step 2.

[0007] In a more optimized scheme, the steps for preparing the electrolyte in step 1 are as follows: add the buffer and complexing agent to deionized water and stir until dissolved, then add ferrous sulfate heptahydrate, cobalt sulfate heptahydrate, copper sulfate pentahydrate, nickel sulfate hexahydrate, and sodium tungstate dihydrate and stir until dissolved, and finally add the reducing agent and surfactant and continue stirring until dissolved to obtain the electrolyte.

[0008] In a more optimized scheme, the buffer is any one or more of boric acid, disodium hydrogen phosphate, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, acetic acid, and sodium carbonate in combination; the complexing agent is any one or more of citric acid monohydrate, sodium citrate, potassium pyrophosphate, oxalic acid, and sodium tripolyphosphate in combination; the reducing agent is ascorbic acid or sodium hypophosphite; and the surfactant is one or more of sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and sodium hexametaphosphate in combination.

[0009] In a more optimized scheme, the electrolyte composition in step 1 is as follows: boric acid 0.1~0.5 mol / L, citric acid monohydrate 0.1~0.4 mol / L, ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 0.01~0.1 mol / L, cobalt sulfate heptahydrate 0.01~0.1 mol / L, copper sulfate pentahydrate 0.01~0.05 mol / L, nickel sulfate hexahydrate 0.01~0.05 mol / L, sodium tungstate dihydrate 0.01~0.1 mol / L, sodium dodecyl sulfate 0.004~0.05 mol / L, and ascorbic acid 0.03~0.1 mol / L.

[0010] In a more optimized scheme, in step 2, a constant potential is used during electrodeposition, with the electrodeposition potential range being -4.5V to -2.5V, the deposition temperature being 20℃ to 80℃, and the deposition time range being 5min to 30min.

[0011] In a more optimized scheme, in step 2, the electrode rod is any one of graphite, platinum sheet, and titanium sheet; the conductive substrate is any one of copper sheet, titanium sheet, nickel foam, copper foam, aluminum sheet, stainless steel sheet, carbon cloth, and carbon foam.

[0012] In a more optimized scheme, in step 3, the heat treatment temperature is 500℃~800℃, the holding time is 1h~3h, and the heat treatment atmosphere is Ar2 or Ar2 / H2.

[0013] In a more optimized scheme, in step 2, a pretreatment step is performed before electrodeposition on the conductive substrate. The pretreatment step includes ultrasonic cleaning with acetone, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water for 10 to 15 minutes in sequence, followed by drying.

[0014] In a more optimized scheme, the proportion of each metal element in the FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material is between 5% and 50%.

[0015] A more optimized solution is a high-entropy alloy FeCoNiCuW microwave absorbing material prepared by any of the above preparation methods.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: 1. This invention uses different porous materials as conductive substrates and achieves the synergistic reduction and in-situ assembly of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and W multi-metal ions during electrodeposition, forming a tightly bonded interface between the alloy layer with a high-entropy structure and the substrate. The resulting composite material combines the magnetic loss of the high-entropy alloy with the conductive network advantages of the substrate, effectively improving impedance matching and interface polarization capabilities, thereby achieving wide-bandwidth, high-efficiency, and stable electromagnetic wave absorption performance. This invention achieves in-situ bonding between the high-entropy alloy and the substrate through low-temperature electrodeposition, which not only simplifies the preparation process and improves the bonding strength but also provides a new technical path for the design and engineering application of high-performance electromagnetic protection materials. The resulting composite material has excellent structural stability and wave absorption performance and can be widely used in electromagnetic protection, radar stealth, and high-frequency communication, showing good prospects for industrial application.

[0017] 2. The innovation of this invention does not lie in simply replacing elements or changing deposition parameters, but in combining the FeCoNiCuW high-entropy alloy system with the specific functional requirement of electromagnetic wave absorption for the first time. By uniquely using porous conductive substrates such as carbon cloth, nickel foam, and copper foam, a three-dimensional composite structure is formed, which enhances interface polarization and multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves, thereby improving wave absorption performance. Compared with other inventions, it has the advantages of being lightweight, flexible, and structurally integrated.

[0018] Meanwhile, the electrodeposition process used in this invention is mild, and the preparation process can be completed at normal pressure and low temperature, making it simple to operate and highly repeatable. Secondly, the high-entropy alloy layer obtained by deposition has a dense and firm bond with the substrate, which significantly improves the problem of poor interface bonding in traditional composite systems. Thirdly, the magnetic network formed by the multi-component metals in the high-entropy alloy works synergistically with the conductive skeleton of the substrate to enhance the interfacial polarization and the ability to reflect electromagnetic waves multiple times, giving the material excellent wave absorption performance over a wide frequency range. It also has the advantages of being lightweight and having good thermal stability.

[0019] 3. This invention uses W to replace Zn. Since W has a high melting point, strong magnetism and good electromagnetic properties, it is more suitable for microwave absorbing materials. Furthermore, this invention introduces a heat treatment step under a protective atmosphere, which can effectively eliminate the internal stress of the deposited layer, promote the crystallization of high-entropy alloys, and may induce fine phase separation or nano-precipitates, thereby further controlling the electromagnetic parameters and significantly improving the microwave absorption performance and thermal stability of the material.
