Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Performance of Carbonized Rice Husk Obtained at Various Temperatures.

ABSTRACT: Agricultural wastes such as rice husks (RHs) are valuable due to their feasibility to be converted into carbon materials, low cost, and abundancy in contrast to the conventional carbon material sources. In this study, RHs are carbonized at various temperatures from low to high temperatures, and their electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption properties are evaluated. Carbon materials, silicon carbide (SiC) whiskers, and SiC particles are obtained from RHs carbonized at 1500 °C (CRH1500) for 0.5 h with presence of Ar gas at 1 atm. In order to evaluate their EM wave absorption performance, complex permittivity and permeability are measured by using vector network analyzer, and the values are utilized in the reflection loss (R.L.) calculation according to the transmission line theory.
