Absorption efficiency and frequency band of carbon nanotube absorbing materials

Absorbing materials play an important role in modern electronics, communication, and military fields, effectively absorbing electromagnetic waves, reducing reflection and interference, and improving system performance and safety. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), as a new type of nanomaterial, have been widely studied and applied in absorbing materials due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This article will focus on exploring the absorption efficiency and frequency band of carbon nanotube absorbing materials, and introduce the products produced by Advanced Institute (Shenzhen) Technology Co., LtdResearch Platinum Brand Carbon nanotube Absorbing Materials.

The principle of carbon nanotube absorbing materials

Definition and Structure

Carbon nanotubes are nanoscale tubular structures formed by curling single or multiple layers of graphene sheets. According to the different layers, carbon nanotubes can be divided into single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Carbon nanotubes have extremely high aspect ratios, excellent conductivity, and mechanical strength, making them outstanding in absorbing materials.

Absorption mechanism

Carbon nanotube absorbing materialThe absorption mechanism mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Electromagnetic loss: Carbon nanotubes have high electrical conductivity and can effectively absorb electromagnetic wave energy and convert it into thermal energy.
2. Interface polarization: The interface polarization effect between carbon nanotubes and matrix materials can enhance the absorption of electromagnetic waves.
3. Multiple scattering: The high aspect ratio and complex microstructure of carbon nanotubes result in multiple scattering of electromagnetic waves within the material, increasing absorption paths and improving absorption efficiency.

Absorption efficiency and frequency band of carbon nanotube absorbing materials

Absorption efficiency

The absorption efficiency of carbon nanotube absorbing materials depends on multiple factors, including the type, content, arrangement, and properties of the matrix material of carbon nanotubes. Research has shown that carbon nanotube absorbing materials have excellent absorption performance over a wide frequency range, with a reflection loss (RL) value of over -20 dB, which means that more than 99% of electromagnetic wave energy is absorbed.

Absorbing frequency band

Carbon nanotube absorbing materialThe absorption frequency band of carbon nanotubes usually covers a range from several hundred MHz to several tens of GHz, depending on the type of carbon nanotube and the properties of the matrix material. For example:

• Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs): SWCNTs have high conductivity and small diameter, making them suitable for absorbing electromagnetic waves in high frequency bands such as X-band and Ku band.
• Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs): MWCNTs have high mechanical strength and large diameter, making them suitable for absorbing electromagnetic waves in mid frequency bands such as S-band and C-band.

influence factor

1. Content of carbon nanotubes: An appropriate amount of carbon nanotube content can improve the absorption efficiency, but excessive content can lead to increased conductivity of the material, which in turn reduces the absorption performance.
2. The arrangement of carbon nanotubes: Ordered arrangement of carbon nanotubes can improve the absorption path of electromagnetic waves and enhance absorption efficiency.
3. The properties of matrix materials: Different matrix materials (such as polymers, ceramics, etc.) can affect the dispersibility and interfacial polarization effect of carbon nanotubes, thereby affecting their absorption performance.
