Abstract

We report a facile strategy to prepare a carbon microtube (CMT)/Fe 3O 4 nanocomposite with superior performance. The Fe 3O 4 nanoparticles obtained are about 400 nm in size and homogeneously anchor around the CMTs. The results show that the maximum reflection loss of the CMT/Fe 3O 4 nanocomposite is about -40 dB at 10.64 GHz and the effective absorbing band width is about 4 GHz with a thickness of 2.0 mm, highlighting the importance of the CMTs with nanomagnetic particles for wave-absorbing applications.
