High-performance electromagnetic wave absorption in FeS 2 /SnS 2 @multi-walled carbon nanotube composites with honeycomb-shaped structure

In this work, we synthesized composites of ferrous disulfide and tin disulfide with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using a straightforward hydrothermal method. The incorporation of carbon nanotubes significantly enhanced the dielectric loss capability of the composites. When the filling ratio of FeS /SnS @CNTs (20 wt%) in paraffin was 40%, the effective absorption bandwidth was 3.28 GHz, while the minimum reflection loss (RL) value was as high as -39.2 dB, which corresponded to a thickness of only 1.4 mm. This work reveals the potential research value of this material in terms of thin thickness, strong absorption and light mass.
