16 ABSTRACT
17
18 We fabricated the nickel chains by a facile wet chemical method. The morphology of nickel
19
20
21 chains were tailored by adjusting the amount of PVP during the synthesis process. Both the
22
23 complex permittivity and permeability of the three-dimensional (3D) nets constructed by
24
25 nickel chains present strong dependences on temperature in the frequency range of 8.2-12.4
26
27 GHz and temperature range of 323-573 K. The peaks in imaginary component of permittivity
28
29
and permeability mainly derive from interfacial polarizations and resonances, devoting to
30
31
32 dielectric and magnetic loss, respectively. The effect from both dielectric and magnetism
33
34 contribute to enhancing the microwave absorption. The maximum absorption value of the 3D
35
36 nickel chain nets is ~ -50 dB at 8.8 GHz and 373 K with a thickness of 1.8 mm, and the
37
38 bandwidth less than -10 dB almost covers the whole investigated frequency band. These are
39
40
41 encouraging findings, which provide the potential advantages of magnetic transition
42
43 metal-based materials for microwave absorption application at elevated temperature.

3 INTRODUCTION
4
5 Microwave absorbers have aroused intensive interest for their applications in various
6
7 fields, including electric safety, information counterwork, environment defense and health
8
9
10 care.1-6 In recent years, plenty of materials are researched as microwave absorbers, such as
11
12 carbon nanomaterials7-16, zinc oxide17-22, silicon carbide23-26, ferrite27-30 etc. They have been
13
14 investigated extensively for electromagnetic characteristics and microwave absorption, which
15
16 display potential applications in the field of microwave device and absorber. Furthermore,
17
18
microwave absorbers are sought after with light weight and high efficiency to meet the
19
20
21 requirements of service objects.
22
23 According to recent observations, transition metal magnetic materials, including Fe, Co,
24
25 Ni and their alloy & compounds, are drawing researchers particular attention for applying in
26
27 microwave absorption.31-46 Cobalt nanochains were fabricated and presented dual dielectric
28
29
30 resonance and two strong absorption peaks.47-49 Iron submicron cubes show good
31
32 electromagnetic wave absorbing characteristics and their minimum reflection loss values are
33
34 less than -20 dB.50 CoO 3D nano-flowers exhibit significantly enhanced microwave
35
36 absorption properties.51 However, practical microwave absorbers require light weight, high
37
38
efficiency, and especially, stability in harsh-thermal environment. Unfortunately, the
39
40
41 temperature dependences of electromagnetic characteristics and microwave absorption are
42
43 reported rarely. Investigating the electromagnetic property and tuning the absorption capacity
44
45 at elevated temperature are still a challenge.
46
47 In this work, 3D nets constructed by nickel chains are fabricated to characterize the
48
49
50 electromagnetic properties in the temperature range of 323-573 K and in X band (8.2-12.4
51
52 GHz). The complex permittivity (', ") and permeability (', ") presents obvious temperature
53
54 dependences. The peaks of " drive from interfacial polarizations in nickel chains. Meanwhile
55
56 the peaks of " come from natural resonance. The maximum microwave absorption value of

6
7 Fe3O4@ZrO2,57 and Fe3O4-MWCNTs,4 the 3D nickel chain nets possess superior absorption

11
12 and can provide a strategy for designing excellent dielectric-magnetic absorbers applied at
13
14 elevated temperature.

16 EXPERIMENTAL SECTION
17

19
Materials
20
21 Nickel chloride hexahydrate(NiCl26H2O), hydrazine monohydrate (N2H4H2O), and
22
23 polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) were purchased from Fuchen Chemical Reagent Co., Ltd.
24
25 (Tianjin, China). Ethylene glycol (EG) was purchased from Beijing Chemical Factory
26
27 (Beijing, China). All the chemicals were analytical reagent grade and used without further
28
29
30 purication.
31
32 Fabrication of nickel chains
33
34 In a typical procedure, 0.19g NiCl26H2O and 0.444g PVP were added to 100ml EG with
35
36 intensive stirring for 1h to obtain a transparent grass green solution. Then, 0.8ml N2H4H2O
37
38
was added to the as prepared solution dropwise, with continuing stirring for another 1h.
39
40
41 Subsequently, the mixture was transferred to a three-necked flask and refluxed at 197 for
42
43 2h. After refluxing, the obtained precipitate was washed with deionized water and ethanol for
44
45
several times, and then dried at 313 K in vacuum oven for 12h. In order to investigate the
46
47
48 effect of PVP on the morphology of products, the ratio of PVP to nickel precursors is varied.
49
50 Different weights of PVP, 0.0888g, 0.2644g, 0.444g, were added to the reaction solution,
51
52 respectively. The three kinds of obtained nickel samples were marked as S1, S2, and S3.
53
54 Samples
55
56
57 The as-prepared nickel chains powder (30, 40, 50wt% loading) was mixed with SiO2

3 nanopowder, respectively. A certain amount of mixture powder was cold-pressed into a
4
5 rectangular sample with dimensions of 22.86 mm10.16 mm ~1.6 mm for electromagnetism
6
7 measurement. After dispersing in SiO2 nanopowder, the 3D nickel chain nets are constructed.
8
9
10 Characterization and measurement
11
12 X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization was carried out on an XPert PRO system (Cu-K).
13
14 Magnetic properties were measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM Lakeshore
15
16 7407). The morphology was carried out on a scanning electron microscope system (SEM
17
18
Hitachi S4800). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were obtained on a
19
20
21 JEM-2100 system, coupled with copper grids.
22
23 Electromagnetic parameter measurement
24
25 The complex permittivity and permeability were measured using wave-guide method at six
26
27 temperatures between 323 K and 573 K in X band (8.212.4 GHz) on a vector network
28
29
30 analyzer (VNA Anritsu 37269D) coupled with a high-temperature testing chamber, as
31
32 reported in our previous work.58, 59 The as-prepared sample sheet was positioned vertically in
33
34 the center of the testing chamber and heated by an inner heater at the heating rate of 20 K/min.
35
36 In order to ensure accuracy of measurement, the system holds for 20 minutes when
37
38
temperature reaches the set point. After the complex permittivity and permeability obtained at
39
40
41 this temperature, the next set point was followed.
42
43 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
44
45 The SEM images of as-prepared nickel samples are shown in Figure 1. The sample S1
46
47 consists of nickel spheres, which aggregate together disorderly (Figure 1a,b). For the sample
48
49
50 S2, there are a few of nickel chains and plenty of aggregated spheres (Figure 1c,d). Whereas
51
52 the SEM images of sample S3 demonstrate that the nickel spheres contacting with each other
53
54 orderly form the chain-like morphology with the length of tens of micrometers (Figure 1e,f).
55
56 Compared with sample S1 and S2, the nickel spheres in sample S3 have smoother surfaces

3 and the nickel chains are longer and more uniform. The results indicate that the amount of
4
5 PVP has tailored effect on the formation of nickel chains. With a suitable molar ratio of PVP:
6
7 Ni2+ = 5:1, the uniform and long nickel chains were fabricated, which are further
8
9
10 demonstrated in Figure 2a,b. As shown in Figure 2c, the size distribution of nickel spheres in
11
12 Figure 2b is counted, which is relatively concentrated with mean size of ~245 nm. The mean
13
14 size of joints between nickel spheres shown in Figure 2d is about 130 nm.
15
16 Figure 3 is the probable formation schematic illustration for nickel chains and 3D chain
17
18
nets. In the beginning, the Ni2+ reacted with hydrazine to form a stable complex at ambient
19
20
21 temperature. With the increase of temperature to the boiling point of EG, the Ni2+ was reduced
22
23 by the excessive hydrazine to form nickel nucleus. Due to the attractive effect from magnetic
24
25 dipole-dipole and template effect of PVP, the small nuclei aggregated to form large
26
27 nanoparticles and grew further. Subsequently, under the minimization of interfacial energy
28
29
30 and magnetic dipole-dipole attraction, large nickel nanoparticles assembled into chains.47 The
31
32 nickel chains then cross linked with each other to form nets, further aggregating to 3D nickel
33
34 chain nets.
35
36 The TEM images of nickel chains in sample S3 under different magnifications are
37
38
presented in Figure 4a,b. The microspheres contact to each other tightly and their diameters
39
40
41 are about 200-300 nm. As shown in Figure 4c, the lattice spacing of nickel chains is about
42
43 0.18 nm, which corresponds to (200) crystal plane of cubic nickel. Their SAED pattern in
44
45 Figure 4d exhibits that three rings can be assigned to the crystal planes of cubic phase of
46
47 nickel. Also, the structure of the as-prepared sample is identified by XRD pattern in Figure 4e,
48
49
50 all the diffraction peaks can be indexed to cubic structure of nickel, and no impurity phase is
51
52 detected. Figure 4f is the diffraction profile generated by the SAED pattern in Figure 4d.
53
54 These results appear to be consistent with the XRD result, further indicate the cubic structure
55
56 of nickel chains.

3 As shown in Figure 5, the static magnetic property of nickel chains is characterized with
4
5 hysteresis loop, which exhibits typical ferromagnetic hysteresis curves. The inset indicates
6
7 that nickel chains dispersed in deionized water can be separated by external magnetic field in
8
9
10 10 seconds. The saturation magnetization (Ms) of nickel chains is 42 emu/g, which is lower
11
12 than that of bulk nickel (ca. 55.15 emu/g). Generally, the variation of Ms is related to surface
13
14 antiferromagnetic oxidation, specific morphology, nanoeffects, crystallinity, surface spin
15
16 disorder, etc.47, 60 In this work, the decreased Ms may originate from the specific chain-like
17
18
19
structure and surface spin disorder of the nanoscale material. The remanent magnetization (Mr)
20
21 of nickel chains is 6.7 emu/g, higher than those of bulk nickel (2.7 emu/g) and nickel
22
23 nanoparticles (5.0 emu/g). This may originate from the differences in microstructure.
24
25 Meanwhile, the coercivity (Hc) of nickel chains is 120 Oe, which is significantly higher than
26
27 those of bulk nickel (100 Oe) and nickel nanoparticles (40 Oe).61 The coercivity of magnetic
28
29
30 materials generally derived from various kinds of anisotropy such as, crystal, stress,
31
32 externally induced, shape. Herein, the higher Hc of nickel chains can likely be attributed to the
33
34 reduced size and the chain-like structure.60
35
36 The electromagnetic properties of the samples loading with 30wt %, 40wt % and 50wt %
37
38
3D nickel chain nets were investigated in the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz and
39
40
41 temperature range of 323-573 K. The ', ", ', and " depending on frequency and
42
43 temperature are illustrated in Figure 6 and 7, respectively. Note that both the ' and " display
44
45 a decrease trend with the increase of frequency, and monotonically increase with the increase
46
47 of chain nets loading contents, changing from 6.1 to 21.2 and 0.2 to 5.9, respectively (Figure
48
49
50 6a,c,e). Furthermore, the relaxation peaks can be observed in " from different chain nets
51
52 loadings. This phenomenon indicates the existence of relaxation behaviors in nickel chains,
53
54 which can be proved by the Cole-Cole plots in the Supporting Information (Figures S1-S3).
55
56 These relaxations are probably derived from the interfacial polarizations in nickel chains, as
57
58

3 schematically shown in Figure 8. Typically, the activation energy of dipole decreases with the
4
5 increase of temperature, resulting in the weakening of relaxation. In Figure 6b,d,f, the ' and
6
7 " decrease with increasing frequency, and increase slightly with increasing loading of chain
8
9
10 nets. Meanwhile, multiple resonance peaks are observed in " of all the samples, indicating
11
12 the existence of ferromagnetic resonance behavior.
13
14 Figure 7 displays the temperature dependences of ', ", ', and " in the investigated
15
16 temperature range of 323-573 K. Significantly, both the ' and " of the three samples present
17
18
a rapid decrease in 323-373 K and a slight decrease in 373-573 K. This decrease of " in the
19
20
21 temperature range results from the decreasing conductivity of nickel chain nets, which is
22
23 based on the Debye theory. Meanwhile, the " of all the samples decrease with the increase of
24
25 temperature, which can be attributed to the weakened damping of magnetic moment
26
27 precessing.54
28
29
30 In general, the magnetic loss mainly comes from magnetic hysteresis, domain wall
31
32 resonance, eddy current loss, natural resonance and exchange resonance.62 In microwave
33
34 frequency band, only eddy current loss, natural resonance and exchange resonance can be
35
36 considered.60,63 The eddy current coefficient ("(')-2f -1) of 3D nickel chain nets depending on
37
38
frequency can be clearly shown in Supporting Information (Figure S4). As we known, if
39
40
41 magnetic loss only originates from eddy current loss, the value of "(')-2f -1 is constant when
42
43 frequency changes.64 Thus, Figure S4 demonstrates that the magnetic loss in chain nets is not
44
45 only contributed from eddy current loss, which is schematically illustrated in Figure 8. In
46
47 addition, the natural resonance in bulk nickel usually occurs at lower frequency around
48
49
50 megahertz. However, with the decrease of particle size, the resonance frequency shifts
51
52 towards higher frequency due to the high surface anisotropy affected by the small size
53
54 effect.64-66 Hence, the resonance behavior in nickel chains is probably derived from natural
55
56 resonance, namely the magnetization vectors (M) precess around the direction of the effective

3 field,28 as schematically shown in Figure 8.
4
5 In addition, the nickel chains dispersing in waveguide sample joint with each other and
6
7 form 3D nets as shown in Figure 8. In the 3D nets, the distributed micro-current is generated
8
9
10 when electromagnetic wave travel into the sample,17,67 which also contribute to microwave
11
12 absorption. Furthermore, the 3D nickel chain nets increase the travel paths of electromagnetic
13
14 wave in the sample, inducing the formation of multiple internal reflections, as well as the
15
16 multiple scattering. Hence, they significantly enhance attenuation capacity, and then benefit
17
18
microwave absorption performance.68
19
20
21 Typically, the eddy current loss, natural resonance, multiple internal reflections, multiple
22
23 scattering, and dielectric relaxations contribute together to enhance the attenuation capacity of
24
25 3D nickel chain nets. The attenuation constant of the three samples with 30wt%, 40wt% and
26
27 50wt% chain nets loadings is exhibited in Figure S5, which determines the attenuation
28
29
30 properties of materials.20,65 With the increase of loading, the values of clearly increases. The
31
32 50wt% loading sample presents the biggest attenuation constant in the investigated
33
34 frequency band, which confirms its superior absorption performance.
35
36 The reflection loss (RL) of the samples loading with 30wt %, 40wt % and 50wt % 3D
37
38
nickel chain nets is presented in Figure 9, which is calculated based on transmit line theory
39
40
41 using the experimentally determined complex permittivity and permeability.4, 58 Figure 9a-c
42
43 shows the RL values versus frequency at different temperatures. Obviously, the 50wt %
44
45 sample demonstrates the maximum absorption of -49 dB at 8.8 GHz and 373 K with a
46
47 thickness of 1.8 mm, which is superior to those of 30wt % and 40wt % loading samples.
48
49
50 Figure 9d-f shows the RL values of three samples versus temperature at different frequencies.
51
52 With the increase of temperature, the microwave absorption capacities of samples with
53
54 30wt % and 40wt % loadings demonstrate a decrease trend, while the 50wt % loading sample
55
56 presents the best absorption capacity at 373 K.

3 Moreover, thickness matching is also a factor for excellent microwave absorption. The
4
5 contour plots of RL versus frequency and thickness for the samples with 30wt %, 40wt % and
6
7 50wt % chain nets loadings are shown in Supporting Information (Figure S6 a-c). The
8
9
10 corresponding frequency dependences of quarter-wavelength (/4) which calculated using
11
12 complex permittivity and permeability are shown in Supporting Information (Figure S6 d-f).
13
14 Note that the regions with maximum absorption move towards lower frequency with the
15
16 increase of thickness. The best absorption regions of the three samples all correspond to /4
17
18
thickness, conforming to quarter-wavelength matching model.65, 69
19
20
21 Figure 10a-c is the 3D plots of RL values versus frequency and thickness for the samples
22
23 with 30wt %, 40wt % and 50wt % chain nets loadings. Compared with 30wt % and 40wt %
24
25 loading samples, the 50wt % loading sample has the best microwave absorption performance
26
27 with a thinnest thickness. The RL value can reach ~ -50 dB by tuning temperature, and the
28
29
30 absorption region (RL-10 dB) is expanded obviously. To evaluate the absorption capacity of
31
32 the three samples at elevated temperature, Figure 10d demonstrates the 3D bar plot of their
33
34 maximum absorption in the temperature range of 323-573 K and X band with the thickness
35
36
37
range of 1-5mm. It is observed that the maximum absorption of 50wt % loading sample is
38
39 much better than others, especially at 373 K. These results reveal the 3D nickel chain nets
40
41 have a promising microwave absorption application at elevated temperature.

CONCLUSIONS
46
47
48 In summary, the nickel chains are fabricated by a facile wet chemical method, and the 3D nets
49
50 are constructed by dispersing nickel chains in sample. It was found that their electromagnetic
51
52 characteristics and microwave absorption properties show strong temperature dependences in
53
54 8.2-12.4 GHz and 323-573 K. The sample with 50wt % nickel chain nets presents best
55
56
57 microwave absorption capacity of ~-50dB even at relatively high temperature of 373 K. This
