Bimagnetic metal constructed core-shell structure of Fe@Co nanowires for multi-band microwave absorption

Controlled fabrication of materials by surface modification techniques has been a hot research topic. In this paper, one-dimensional (1D) core-shell structure Fe@Co nanowires (NWs) were successfully prepared by anchoring 0-dimensional (0D) Co nanoparticles on 1D Fe NWs based on the in situ reduction method. The electromagnetic parameters of the specimens at a filler mass fraction of 25 ​wt% were tested and the microwave loss mechanism was deeply analyzed. Binary magnetic metals in a core-shell structure have excellent multi-band microwave absorption capability (S-band, X-band and Ku-band). This is due to the heterogeneous interface and magnetic coupling effects tuning the dielectric and magnetic loss. This study offers a workable plan for creating effective multi-band magnetic metal-based microwave absorbers.
