Graphene-wrapped pine needle-like cobalt nanocrystals constructed by cobalt nanorods for efficient microwave absorption performance.

ABSTRACT: Magnetic metal nanocrystals tend to be advanced microwave absorption substances as they possess simultaneous dielectric and magnetic losses. In this study, the metallic cobalt (Co) nanocrystals with a pine needle-like nanostructure constructed by one-dimensional Co nanorods have been successfully prepared through the polyol approach. By regulating the amount of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), rGO/Co nanocomposites with different mass ratios were acquired. Experimental results demonstrate that the rGO/Co nanocomposites display excellent microwave attenuation capacity. The minimum reflection loss value can reach -57.8 dB at 12.43 GHz with a filler loading of 20 wt% at 1.8 mm. Moreover, the effective absorption bandwidth covers the frequency range of 4.2-15.5 GHz with an integrated thickness of
