3D architecture reduced graphene oxide-MoS2 composite: Preparation and excellent electromagnetic wave absorption performance

High-performance electromagnetic absorbers with wide absorption band, strong absorption and lightweight are necessary for industry and military application. To obtain the desired materials, two-dimensional (2D) atomic layers structure nanosheets , such as graphene and graphene-like, were adopted due to its unique structure and properties. Here, 3D architecture reduced graphene oxide-molybdenum disulfide (RGO-MoS 2 ) composite was prepared by one-pot hydrothermal reaction . MoS 2 generated on graphene oxide intercalation through hydrothermal process and rGO is obtained in the meanwhile. 3D architecture RGO-MoS 2 composite can effectively prevent two-dimensional nanosheets re-stacked and can be applied in electromagnetic wave absorption field. In this paper, composites consist of RGO and various MoS 2 were prepared and their electromagnetic performances were investigated for the first time. Maximum absorption bandwidth (R L   <   −10   dB) is 5.92   GHz with thickness of 2.5   mm. We may reasonably conclude that RGO-MoS 2 composite can serve as excellent light-weight electromagnetic wave absorbers and can be widely used in practice.
