Abstract

A facile process was developed for the synthesis of porous α-Fe₂O₃ nanorod–graphene (α-Fe₂O₃ nanorod–graphene) composites based on the reduction of graphene oxide sheets by Fe²⁺ in the presence cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), followed by annealing in Ar atmosphere. When CTAB was added in the synthesis system, only porous α-Fe₂O₃ nanorods distributed uniformly on the surface of graphene (porous α-Fe₂O₃ nanorod–graphene). While both irregular and porous nanorod-shaped α-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles coexisted on graphene surfaces (α-Fe₂O₃-graphene) and nanorod-shaped α-Fe₂O₃ tended to severely aggregate with each other without the addition of CTAB. In comparison with α-Fe₂O₃-graphene, porous α-Fe₂O₃ nanorod–graphene composites exhibit enhanced electromagnetic absorption in terms of both the maximum reflection loss value and the absorption bandwidth, which probably originates from the bigger electromagnetic attenuation constant induced by the better homogeneous morphology and uniform distribution of Fe₂O₃ on graphene surface.
