▎ 摘  要

By synthesizing nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) via a facile thermal annealing method, a fine control of the amount and location of doped nitrogen as well as the oxygen-containing functional groups is achieved with varying annealing temperature. The favorable magnetic properties have been achieved for N-doped rGO samples obtained at two temperatures of all NG samples, i.e., 500 degrees C and 900 degrees C with saturation magnetization of 0.63 emu g(-1) and 0.67 emu g(-1) at 2 K, respectively. This is attributed to the optimized competition of the N-doping and reduction process at 500 degrees C and the dominated reduction process at 900 degrees C. NG obtained at 300 degrees C affords the best overall absorbing performance: when the absorber thickness is 3.0 mm, the maximum absorption was -24.6 dB at 8.51 GHz, and the absorption bandwidth was 4.89 GHz (7.55-12.44 GHz) below -10 dB. It owes its large absorbing intensity to the good impedance match and significant dielectric loss. The broad absorption bandwidth benefits from local fluctuations of dielectric responses contributed by competing mechanisms. Despite the significant contribution from materials loss to the absorption, the one quarter-wavelength model is found to be responsible for the reflection loss peak positions. Of particular significance is that an appropriate set of electromagnetic parameters associated with reasonable reduction is readily accessible by convenient control of annealing temperature to modulate the microwave absorbing features of graphene. Thus, NG prepared by thermal annealing promises to be a highly efficient microwave absorbent.
