The rapid development of electronic devices has brought progressively serious electromagnetic pollution, which poses a considerable threat to physical health and information security [1–2]. Electromagnetic shielding materials and electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials have been widely applied to solve the electromagnetic pollution. Electromagnetic shielding materials limit EMW by physical reflection, which may cause secondary pollution. EMW absorbing materials dissipate EMW through energy conversion, which can reduce the possibility of secondary pollution. Therefore, EMW absorbing materials receive more attention in the past few decades because of their environmental friendliness and high efficiency [3–5].
EMW absorbing materials can be divided into magnetic materials, dielectric materials, and conductive materials according to their different mechanisms for EMW absorption. However, the magnetic materials are characterized by high density, susceptibility to corrosion, and low Curie temperature, which limits their application to a certain extent [6–7]. Recently, binary dielectric composites have received extensive attention for their efficient and stable EMW absorbing properties [8–9]. For example, Cui et al. [10] synthesized the binary dielectric BaTiO3@C core–shell material. The results showed that composite material has an amazing minimum reflection loss (RL) of −88.5 dB. Wang et al. [11] synthesized hollow cube-like ZnSnO3 wrapped by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and studied the EMW absorbing properties of ZnSnO3@MWCNTs material. The results showed that the minimum RL reaches −52.1 dB and the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) is up to 3.9 GHz. Mu et al. [12] prepared La1−xSrxMn1−yFeyO3 nanostructures with different doping sites by the solid phase reaction method, and then mixed them with 2MgO·2Al2O3·5SiO2 (MAS). The results showed that La0.7Sr0.3Mn0.8Fe0.2O3/MAS can achieve the widest bandwidth of 4.2 GHz covered the entire X-band (8.2–12.4 GHz) and a minimum RL value of −17.99 dB at 500°C, which has a great prospect as an efficient high temperature microwave absorber.
The optimization of the structure represents one of the significant means to improve the EMW absorbing properties of materials. Hollow multishelled structure (HoMS) has the characteristics of low density, large specific surface area, high loading capacity, as well as multiple scattering of incident light or waves. More importantly, size, composition, and shape of HoMSs, as well as shell number, shell thickness, and intershell space, can be flexibly designed and adjusted according to the requirements of application. It can be inferred that HoMSs with multiple shells and rich interfaces will have unique advantages as EMW absorbing materials [13–15]. For example, Yang et al. [16] proved that the EMW absorbing performance of C@MnO2 HoMSs is far superior to the mixed materials of hollow C spheres and MnO2. Liu et al. [17] verified that the EMW absorbing performance of double-shell (2s)-Fe3O4@SnO2 HoMSs is much better than single-shell (1s)-Fe3O4@SnO2. Tao et al. [18] proved that the three-shell porous carbon HoMS has the best EMW absorbing performance.
As a dielectric material, barium titanate not only has a high dielectric constant, but also has advantages in ferroelectric activity, nonlinear optical coefficient, and spontaneous polarization. In particular, spontaneous polarization generated by Ti4+ shifting and oxygen octahedron distorting will induce dielectric relaxation in the gigahertz frequency bands, which contributes to the dielectric loss of incident EMW [19–21]. For example, Zhu et al. [22] grew a layer of BaTiO3 on MWCNTs by sol–gel method. The composite showed better EMW absorption performance compared to MWCNTs, with a minimum RL of −25.7 dB and EAB up to 5.8 GHz.
Besides, the conductive polymer is another type of EMW absorbing material based on conductance loss. In general, conductive polymers have conjugated π bond, and under the action of an external electromagnetic field, π electrons will move directionally to form a conductive network to consume the incident EMW [23–24]. For example, Pang et al. [25] successfully synthesized polyethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT) HoMSs using Fe3O4 as a sacrificial template. Compared with PEDOT solid spheres or single- and double-shell hollow spheres, triple-shell (3s)-PEDOT exhibits better absorption performance, with a minimum RL of −39.7 dB, an EAB of about 4.6 GHz, and a matching thickness of only 2 mm.
Multi-components EMW absorbing materials with different attenuation mechanisms can help to improve the absorbing properties. Especially, HoMS exhibits obvious advantages, such as large specific surface area, effective absorption of EMW, and interfacial polarization. Therefore, we believe that coating the conducting polymer, polypyrrole (PPy), on the surface of dielectric material BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMS is a novel and effective path to improve the absorbing properties of EMW absorbing materials. In this work, we propose a strategy for constructing BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs by in-situ hydrothermal crystallization and pyrrole monomer evaporation using TiO2 HoMSs as the template. The BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs exhibit improved microwave absorption compared with BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs, which is better than those of most binary dielectric BaTiO3-based composites.
All reagents, including sucrose, titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), barium hydroxide octahydrate (Ba(OH)2·8H2O), tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (25wt%), hydrochloric acid, hydrated ferric chloride (FeCl3·6H2O), and pyrrole monomer, were purchased from Beijing Chemical Reagent Company, China. All chemicals were of analytical grade and used without further purification. Deionized water (Millipore Milli-Q grade) with a resistivity of 18.2 MΩ·cm was used in all the experiments.
TiO2 HoMSs were prepared via a sequential templating approach according to previous work [26]. Carbonaceous microspheres were dispersed in 3 M TiCl4 aqueous solution, 1s-, 2s-, and 3s-TiO2 hollow spheres can be produced by controlling the adsorption time and calcination procedure. The preparation of 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs is taken as an example. Firstly, 157.7 mg Ba(OH)2·8H2O and 40 mg 1s-TiO2 were added to 19 mL deionized water. After ultrasonic treatment for 15 min, 1 mL tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution (25wt%) was added and transferred to a sealed Teflon stainless-steel autoclave. After heating at 145°C for 4.5 h, the obtained products were washed by 1 M HCl solution, deionized water, and dried at 60°C for 12 h. The preparation process of 2s- and 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs was similar to that of 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs.
Taking preparation of 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs as an example, firstly, 90 mg 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs were added to 300 μL of 0.5 M FeCl3·6H2O solution under continuous stirring at 40°C in a small beaker until the solution completely evaporated, secondly, pyrrole monomer was put into another small beaker, and the two beakers were sealed together and placed in an oven at 50°C for 24 h. The oxidative polymerization of the pyrrole monomer was conducted, and the final black powder was termed as 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMS. The preparation process of 2s- and 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs was similar to that of 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs.
Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were recorded on a Panaltical X’Pert-pro MPD X-ray powder diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation (λ = 0.15405 nm). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was performed on a JEOL JSM-6700 scanning electron microscope. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was performed on FEI Tecnai F20 electron microscope operated at 200 kV. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) spectra were recorded using Thermo Scientific K-Alpha+ system. Raman spectra were recorded on a Jobin Yvon T64000 spectrograph at room temperature. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra were obtained by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer of Nicolet Company.
The relative complex permittivity and permeability in the frequency range from 1 to 18 GHz were obtained by the coaxial reflection/transmission method using a vector network analyzer (VNA, PNA-E5071C). A sample containing 70wt% of BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs or BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs was pressed into a ring with an inner diameter of 3.04 mm, an outer diameter of 7.0 mm, and a thickness of 2.0 mm for microwave measurement, in which paraffin wax was used as the binder.
The preparative strategy for BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs is schematically depicted in Fig. 1. Carbonaceous microspheres (CMS) were chosen as the initial template for synthesis TiO2 HoMSs by sequential templating approach. After hydrothermal reacting the TiO2 HoMSs with Ba(OH)2 solutions for 4.5 h, the TiO2 HoMSs changed to BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs. Finally, BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs were prepared by introducing FeCl3 to trigger the oxidative polymerization of pyrrole monomer.
XRD patterns of BaTiO3/TiO2 and BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs are shown in Fig. 2(a). All the detected diffraction peaks can be indexed in the cubic structure of BaTiO3 (JCPDS No. 31-0174). It can be seen that there are weak TiO2 characteristic peaks of the anatase phase (JCPDS No. 21-1272) and rutile phase (JCPDS No. 21-1276), which is attributed to the residual TiO2 in the hydrothermal crystallization of BaTiO3. The composite with multi-component may enhance the loss of EMW due to multiple effective interfaces and increased defect polarization. There are no obvious characteristic peaks of PPy in XRD patterns, which may be due to the thin coating of PPy on the surface of BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs.
The FTIR spectra of 2s-TiO2, 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2, and 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs are displayed in Fig. 2(b). For 2s-TiO2 and 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs, a characteristic peak at 520 cm−1 is assigned to the Ti–O bond stretching [27]. The formation of PPy is evidenced by the characteristic peaks of the fundamental vibrations of the pyrrole ring (1548 cm−1), the C–N deformation vibrations in the ring (1471 cm−1), the C–H and N–H in-plane deformation vibrations (1180 cm−1), and the C–H out-of-plane deformation vibrations of the ring (908 cm−1), which can be observed in 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs [24,28]. It should be noted that these characteristic peaks are all shifted by 10–20 cm−1 compared to the standard PPy spectrum, which may be due to interaction between BaTiO3/TiO2 and PPy.
The Raman spectra of 2s-TiO2, 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2, and 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs are shown in Fig. 2(c) to further determine the crystal phase of BaTiO3 in the composite. Cubic BaTiO3 has no Raman activity due to its high symmetry, while the non-centrosymmetric tetragonal BaTiO3 has a strong Raman peak [29–30]. The Raman spectrum of 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs has no obvious peaks except the characteristic peaks of TiO2, which indicates that the synthesized BaTiO3 has a cubic structure. Furthermore, the intensity of characteristic peaks of TiO2 decrease significantly compared to 2s-TiO2 HoMSs, which is due to the low content of TiO2 in 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs. For 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs, the intensity of the characteristic peaks of TiO2 decrease further, which is due to the coating of PPy on the surface of 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs.
XPS spectrum was used to analyze the component and the chemical bond structure of the BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs. Fig. 3 shows XPS spectrum of the 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs and high-resolution XPS spectra of the N 1s, Ba 3d, and Ti 2p. As shown in Fig. 3(a), the surface contains C, N, O, Ba, Ti, Fe, and Cl, and Fe together with Cl should be ascribed by the iron chloride oxidant during the coating process of PPy. Fig. 3(b)–(d) represents the high-resolution XPS spectra of N 1s, Ba 3d, and Ti 2p, respectively. The N 1s peak in the XPS spectra can be reasonably deconvoluted to three-component peaks with binding energies of 398.2 eV, 399.8 eV, and 401.3 eV (Fig. 3(b)), which are attributed to imine nitrogen (–N=), amine nitrogen (–NH–), and nitrogen cationic radical (–N+–), respectively [23]. The presence of these peaks proves the formation of PPy. The binding energies of Ba 3d5/2, Ba 3d3/2, Ti 2p3/2, and Ti 2p1/2 of the composites were measured to be 778.9 eV, 794.2 eV, 464.2 eV, and 458.6 eV, respectively (Fig. 3(c)–(d)), which are in good agreement with those reports [25,31–32].
Morphological characteristics of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy were further revealed by TEM and SEM. From TEM images of BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs (Fig. 4(a)–(c)), we can see that the material maintains the morphology of TiO2 HoMSs, but the crystal grain has been further enlarged. Grain size of TiO2 HoMSs calculated by Scherer formula is 15.3 nm (Fig. S1), while the grain size of BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs is 47.3 nm. The broken 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs image can further prove that the sample has a hollow multishelled structure (Fig. 4(d)). Fig. 4(e)–(g) shows the TEM images of 1s-, 2s-, and 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs respectively. It can be seen that the morphology remains relatively intact, and the outer shell is wrapped with a layer of PPy with a thickness of 10–30 nm. From the SEM image (Fig. 4(h)) of 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs, it can be seen that the surface of hollow spheres changes from smooth to rough, and PPy forms a conductive network between the hollow spheres, which may enhance the EMW absorption performance. Through the TEM mapping images of 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs (Fig. 4(i)–(j), Fig. S2), Ba, Ti, O, and N elements are evenly distributed, which proves the successful coating of PPy on the inner and outer shells of HoMSs. Furthermore, obvious lattice fringes and diffraction wreaths can be seen from high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) images of 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs (Fig. 4(k)–(l)). Among them, 0.285 nm and 0.352 nm correspond to the (110) crystal surface of BaTiO3 and the (101) crystal surface of anatase respectively, which further proves the successful synthesis of BaTiO3/TiO2. The SAED image of 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs shows a series of concentric rings with different radii, indicating that the sample has a polycrystalline structure. The red rings correspond to the (310), (211), and (110) crystal surface of BaTiO3, and the yellow rings correspond to the (301), (103), and (110) crystal surface of TiO2, respectively.
It is a known fact that electromagnetic parameters are significant parameters to evaluate EMW absorption performance. In general, the real part of the relative complex permittivity (ε′) represents the storage capacity of the electric field energy, and the imaginary part (ε″) represents the loss capacity of the electric field energy; the real part of the relative magnetic permeability (μ′) represents the storage capacity of the magnetic field energy, and the imaginary part (μ″) represents the loss capacity of the magnetic field energy [33–35]. Fig. 5(a)–(b) shows the frequency dependence of ε′ and ε″ of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs. The ε′ values of 1s-, 2s-, and 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy decrease from 33.5, 26, and 25.3 to about 13.3, respectively. This phenomenon is generally referred to the frequency diffusion characteristics and mainly due to the increased polarization hysteresis caused by high-frequency electric field variations. Similarly, ε″ also appears in the same trend, accompanied by some resonance peaks, indicating that multiple polarizations and relaxation occur under alternating electromagnetic fields. Compared with the ε′ and ε″ of BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs (Fig. S3), the ε′ and ε″ of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs have been greatly increased, which is mainly because PPy improves the conductivity of the composite material. Besides, 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs have the largest ε′ and ε″ in the entire frequency range, indicating that 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs have the strongest electric energy storage and electric loss. The tangent value of the dielectric loss (tanδe) is one of the important parameters for evaluating the dielectric loss of materials. Fig. 5(c) represents the dielectric loss tangents of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs with frequency. The tanδe of 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs is the largest in the entire frequency range, which is consistent with the result of the relative complex permittivity.
Magnetic loss is also a large part of EMW loss. For non-magnetic BaTiO3/TiO2 and PPy materials, there is no magnetic loss in theory. However, these materials may have weak magnetic loss due to quantum size effect, macroscopic quantum tunneling effect, small size and interface effect, or the addition of weak Fe oxidant. Fig. 5(d)–(f) shows that there are weak magnetic losses in the high frequency range, but they are almost negligible compared to the dielectric loss.
The dielectric loss of materials includes polarization loss and conduction loss. For polarization loss, since the formation time of electron displacement polarization and ion displacement polarization is very short, they have no visible effect on the complex permittivity. Therefore, only interfacial polarization, dipole polarization, and thermal ion relaxation polarization need to be considered in the microwave band [36]. Dipole polarization and thermal ion relaxation polarization can generate relaxation behavior and lead to polarization loss. According to the Debye relaxation polarization theory, when polarization relaxation occurs, there will be a Cole–Cole semicircle in the curve of ε′ versus ε″ [37–38]. The relationship between ε′ and ε″ can be expressed by Eq. (1):
| (ε′−εs+ε∞2)2+(ε″ | (1) |
where
RL value is the most intuitive parameter to evaluate EMW absorption performance. In general, the part of RL value less than −10 dB is considered to be EAB, which means 90% of EMW is absorbed. Based on transmission line theory, RL can be obtained by Eqs. (2) and (3):
| \mathrm{R}\mathrm{L}=20\mathrm{l}\mathrm{g}\left|\frac{{Z}_{\mathrm{i}}-{Z}_{\mathrm{o}}}{{Z}_{\mathrm{i}}+{Z}_{\mathrm{o}}}\right|=20\mathrm{l}\mathrm{g}\left|\frac{\left({Z}_{\mathrm{i}}/{Z}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)-1}{\left({Z}_{\mathrm{i}}/{Z}_{\mathrm{o}}\right)+1}\right| | (2) |
| {Z}_{\mathrm{i}}={Z}_{\mathrm{o}}\sqrt{\frac{{\mu }_{\mathrm{i}}}{{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{i}}}}\mathrm{tanh}\left(\mathrm{j}\frac{2 \text{π} fd}{c}\cdot\sqrt{{\mu }_{\mathrm{i}}{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{i}}}\right) | (3) |
where
Fig. 6(a)–(c) shows the RL curves of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs in the thickness range of 1–5 mm. It can be observed that BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs have excellent EMW absorption performance. Among them, 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy has the most excellent absorbing performance, the minimum RL reaches −21.80 dB at 13.34 GHz, and the EAB is up to 4.20 GHz (13.80–18 GHz), which is higher than those of 1s- and 2s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs. It is worth noting that the minimum RL value and EAB gradually shift toward low-frequency direction with the increase of absorber thickness, indicating that the thickness of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs can be adjusted to meet the application needs at various frequencies. This regular shifting of the peak frequency can be explained by the 1/4 wavelength formula [38,41]. Encouragingly, the optimal thickness of 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs is only 1.3 mm, which is much smaller than those of many binary dielectric BaTiO3-based composite materials (Fig. 6(d), Table S1 in supplementary information) [10,42–49].
The EMW absorption performance increases with the shell number of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs. This can be attributed to the increase of effective interfaces and the multiple scattering and reflection of EMW. Compared with the EMW absorbing performance of BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs (Fig. S5), minimum RL value and EAB of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs have been significantly improved. The introduction of PPy can form conductive channels inside BaTiO3/TiO2 HoMSs, and generate sufficient carriers under the external electric field to form induced current, thus accelerating the consumption of incident EMW. In addition, the multiple interfaces between PPy and BaTiO3/TiO2 are also beneficial to increase the polarization of the effective interface and accelerate the loss of EMW.
Notably, among these composites, 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs have the strongest dielectric loss capability but the worst EMW absorption performance. RL value is determined by two crucial factors, the attenuation constant (α) and the impedance matching ratio, which describe the amplitude attenuation and the transmission probability of incident EMW in absorbers, respectively [50–51]. In general, the α value can be expressed by the following equation:
| \begin{aligned}[b] &\alpha =\frac{\sqrt{2} \text{π} f}{c} \times \\ & \quad \sqrt{\left({\mu }{''}{\varepsilon }{''}-{\mu }{'}{\varepsilon }{'}\right)+\sqrt{{\left({\mu }{''}{\varepsilon }{''}-{\mu }{'}{\varepsilon }{'}\right)}^{2}+{\left({\mu }{'}{\varepsilon }{''}+{\mu }{''}{\varepsilon }{'}\right)}^{2}}} \end{aligned} | (4) |
As shown in Fig. 7(a), the α values of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs are gradually enhanced in the frequency range from 1 to 18 GHz, implying that the strong attenuation mainly occurs in the high frequency range. In addition, the α value of 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs is larger than that of 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs, indicating that 1s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy has the strongest loss capability, which is consistent with the results of electrical loss.
The impedance matching ratio is the key parameter that determines the probability of EMW incident to the absorber [52]. According to the reflection coefficient Eq. (5) and Eq. (6), when
| R=\frac{{Z}_{\mathrm{o}}-{Z}_{\mathrm{i}}}{{Z}_{\mathrm{o}}+{Z}_{\mathrm{i}}} | (5) |
| \left|\frac{{Z}_{\mathrm{i}}}{{Z}_{\mathrm{o}}}\right|=\left|\sqrt{\frac{{\mu }_{\mathrm{i}}}{{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{i}}}}\mathrm{tanh}\Bigg(\mathrm{j}\frac{2 \text{π} fd}{c}\cdot\sqrt{{\mu }_{\mathrm{i}}{\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{i}}} \Bigg) \right| | (6) |
Fig. 7(b) exhibits the impedance matching ratio of 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs. It can be seen that
Fig. 8 shows the schematic diagram of the EMW absorption mechanism of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs. Firstly, the hollow structure and the large number of intergranular pores of BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs can effectively improve the dielectric impedance balance between the absorber and the air. Based on Maxwell-Garnett theory, the effective permittivity (
| {\varepsilon }_{\mathrm{e}\mathrm{f}\mathrm{f}}^{\mathrm{M}\mathrm{G}}={\varepsilon }_{1}\frac{\left({\varepsilon }_{2}+2{\varepsilon }_{1}\right)+2{f}_{\mathrm{v}}\left({\varepsilon }_{2}-{\varepsilon }_{1}\right)}{\left({\varepsilon }_{2}+2{\varepsilon }_{1}\right)-{f}_{\mathrm{v}}\left({\varepsilon }_{2}-{\varepsilon }_{1}\right)} | (7) |
where
In conclusion, we developed a facile and controllable strategy for the preparation BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs. BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs exhibit excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance due to the synergistic effect of different compositions and the unique hollow multishelled configuration. In particular, the 3s-BaTiO3/TiO2@PPy HoMSs have the most excellent absorbing performance with an optimal absorber thickness of only 1.3 mm, which is superior to most of the reported BaTiO3-based composite. This study suggests that multi-component complexes with hollow multishelled structures have great potential for application to high-performance wave absorbing materials.
