Enhanced Microwave Absorption Performance of Amorphous Co<sub>100−x</sub>Fe<sub>x</sub> Nanoparticles

Metallic magnetic materials are extensively used to mitigate electromagnetic interference due to their high Curie temperatures and permeability. However, their high permittivity often hinders impedance-matching effectiveness, limiting their utility. In this study, amorphous cobalt–iron (Co<sub>...

description Metallic magnetic materials are extensively used to mitigate electromagnetic interference due to their high Curie temperatures and permeability. However, their high permittivity often hinders impedance-matching effectiveness, limiting their utility. In this study, amorphous cobalt–iron (Co<sub>100−x</sub>Fe<sub>x</sub>) alloy nanoparticles with relatively low permittivity were synthesized using a simple aqueous reduction method at room temperature. The effect of atomic ratio variation on the microwave absorption properties of these nanoparticles was investigated across 2–18 GHz. The amorphous Co<sub>100−x</sub>Fe<sub>x</sub> nanoparticles exhibited excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance, achieving an effective absorption bandwidth of 5.6 GHz, a matching thickness of 2.60 mm, and a reflection loss of −42 dB.
