Abstract:

Fe3O4 and Zn1-xFe2+xO4 nanocrystallines were successfully prepared using NaAc as protective reagents via solvothermal method. The structure, size, morphology and chemical composition of the products were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results indicate that the monodisperse nanocrystallines are nanospheres and the averaged size of Zn0.07Fe2.93O4(70 nm) is smaller than that of Fe3O4(170 nm). The magnetic properties of the sample were investigated and revealed that the saturation magnetization(54.2 A·m2·kg-1) of Zn0.07Fe2.93O4 nanocrystalline was smaller than that of Fe3O4(81.6 A·m2·kg-1). The electromagnetic performance and microwave adsorption efficiency of both nanocrystallines were measured by a vector network analyzer(VNA) technique in a frequency region 2—18 GHz. The results indicate that Zn0.07Fe2.93O4 nanocrystallines exhibit better microwave adsorption efficiency. For example, the Zn0.07Fe2.93O4 nanocrystalline, the reflection loss maxium is 19.3 dB, almost equal to the double values of Fe3O4 (9.8 dB), and the bandwidth with a reflection loss more than 10 dB is up to 2.5 GHz.
