TiN/Fe2N/C composite with stable and broadband high-temperature microwave absorption

Facing the complex variable high-temperature environment, electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorbing materials maintaining high stability and satisfying absorbing properties is essential. This study focused on the synthesis and EMW absorbing performance evaluation of TiN/Fe2N/C composite materials, which were prepared using electrostatic spinning followed by a high-temperature nitridation process. The TiN/Fe2N/C fibers constructed a well-developed conductive network that generates considerable conduction loss. The heterogeneous interfaces between different components generated a significant level of interfacial polarization. Thanks to the synergistic effect of stable dielectric loss and optimized impedance matching, the TiN/Fe2N/C composite materials demonstrated excellent and stable absorption performance across a wide temperature range (293-453 K). Moreover, TiN/Fe2N/C-15 achieved a minimum reflection loss (RL) of -48.01 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 3.64 GHz at 2.1 mm and 373 K. This work provides new insights into the development of high-efficiency and stabile EMW absorbing materials under complex variable high-temperature conditions.
