Abstract

In this study, yolk–shell Ni@SnO2 composites with a designable interspace were successfully prepared by the simple acid etching hydrothermal method. The Ni@void@SnO2 composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results indicate that interspaces exist between the Ni cores and SnO2 shells. Moreover, the void can be adjusted by controlling the hydrothermal reaction time. The unique yolk–shell Ni@void@SnO2 composites show outstanding electromagnetic wave absorption properties. A minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −50.2 dB was obtained at 17.4 GHz with absorber…
