In situ synthesis of one-dimensional MWCNT/SiC porous nanocomposites with excellent microwave absorption properties

Abstract

One-dimensional multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/SiC porous nanocomposites were prepared via an in situ reaction between Si and MWCNTs induced by the reaction between Na and I2. The as-prepared nanocomposites exhibit outstanding microwave absorbing performances with an absorber thickness of about 2 mm. The absorbing bandwidth for the nanocomposites increases by raising the reaction temperature from 200 to 400 °C. The dielectric polarizations, which originate from the synergistic effect of the defects, porous structures and nanoparticles in the nanocomposites, are responsible for the excellent microwave absorbing performances.
