The electromagnetic wave absorption properties of double-layer barium titanate/carbon nanotube (BTO/CNT) nanocomposites were evaluated. The BTO/CNT nanomaterials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The reflection loss (R.L.) of the samples was calculated based on the measured complex permittivity and permeability. The minimumR.L.of single-layer BTO/CNT 30 wt% nanocomposites sample with a thickness of 1.1 mm reached ~−30.3 dB (over 99.9% absorption) at 13.8 GHz, and the bandwidth of the reflection loss less than −10 dB (over 90% absorption) was 1.5 GHz. The double-layer composites consist of BTO/CNT 30 wt% (absorption layer) with thickness of 1.0 mm and BTO 30 wt% (matching layer) with thickness of 0.3 mm showed a minimumR.L.of ~−63.7 dB (over 99.9999% absorption) at 13.7 GHz, and the bandwidth of the reflection loss less than −10 dB was 1.7 GHz. Wider response bandwidth, >1.7 GHz also can be achieved with different designs of double-layer absorbers. TheR.L.significantly improved and wider response bandwidth can be obtained with double-layer composites. The capability to modulate the absorption and bandwidth of these samples to suit various applications in different frequency bands indicates that these nanocomposites could be an excellent electromagnetic wave absorber.
