Amorphous Bimetallic Nanowires with High-Performance Microwave Absorption: A Case for FeCo Nanowires

    Amorphous FeCo nanowires (NWs) with the average diameter of 120nm were successfully prepared with a magnetic-field-assisted (MFA) hydrothermal method. Rapid reaction time was adopted to obtain amorphous FeCo NWs, being checked by XRD and TEM. Tuning the stoichiometric ratio of Fe/Co content meets the optimal impedance matching under different absorption frequency, making both improved intensities and frequency ranges of microwave absorption. For example, under 3mm coating thickness, the reflection loss (RL) peaks of Fe3Co7, Fe5Co5 and Fe7Co3 NWs are 25.88dB at 4GHz, 19.06dB at 4.24GHz and 21.98dB at 5.44GHz. The related efficient absorption bandwidths (fE<10 dB) of Fe3Co7 NWs, Fe5Co5 NWs and Fe7Co3 NWs are 5.40GHz, 3.52GHz and 4.91GHz, respectively. It is ascribed to integrating enhanced dielectric/conductive losses, negligible damages from eddy current effect and good impedance matching for high-performance FeCo NWs absorbers. This work paves a new path on synthesizing bimetallic wire-like nanostructures for microwave absorption demands.
