Preparation of Ni/PZT core-shell nanoparticles and their electromagnetic properties

Abstract

The Ni nanoparticles coated with Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) were synthesized by a sol-gel method and in situ reaction. And their structure, oxidation resistance, and electromagnetic properties were investigated. The X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) exhibited that a small amount of impure phase characterized to Ni(OH)₂ was detected from the ammonia-treated Ni nanoparticles and the ammonia-treated Ni nanoparticles coated with PZT. After being pre-treated with aqueous ammonia, the PZT coating layer was more uniform and about 10 nm in thickness. The oxidation resistance of the ammonia-treated Ni nanoparticles coated with PZT, compared with that of the non-treated ones, was improved by about 66 °C. The PZT shell layer prepared by in-situ reaction can greatly reduce the dielectric constant and improve the natural resonance loss at high frequency, so as to obtain the optimal impedance matching performance of the electromagnetic wave transmission.
