There is an increased interest in the development of high performance microwave shielding materials against electromagnetic pollution in recent years. Barium ferrite decorated reduced graphene oxide (BaFe12O19@RGO) nanocomposite was synthesized by a high energy ball milling technique and its electromagnetic properties were investigated in the frequency range of 12.4-18 GHz (Ku band). The results showed that barium ferrite (BaFe12O19) nanoparticles with an average particle size of 20-30 nm were well distributed and firmly anchored onto the surface of the reduced graphene oxide sheets. The obtained nanocomposite exhibited a saturation magnetization of 18.1 emu g(-1) at room temperature. The presence of BaFe12O19 nanoparticles in the nanocomposite enhances the space charge polarization, natural resonance, multiple scattering and the effective anisotropy energy leading to a high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of 32 dB (∼99.9% attenuation) at a critical thickness of 3 mm. The results suggested that the as-prepared BaFe12O19@RGO nanocomposite showed great potential as an effective candidate for a new type of microwave absorbing material.

Article Synopsis
- Pharmaceutical pollutants in water are a serious environmental and health issue, leading to concerns like antibiotic resistance.
- Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), particularly using peroxymonosulfate (PMS) with bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI), show promise in degrading these contaminants effectively.
- A study found that BiOI composites with barium ferrite (BFO) significantly improved the degradation of tetracycline (TC), achieving nearly complete removal under ideal conditions, but faced challenges in more complex water environments; increasing PMS concentration improved results notably.

This investigation is motivated by an interest in multiferroic BaFeO (BFO), which combines advanced ferrimagnetic and ferroelectric properties at room temperature and exhibits interesting magnetoelectric phenomena. The ferroelectric charge storage properties of BFO are limited due to high coercivity, low dielectric constant, and high dielectric losses. We report the pseudocapacitive behavior of BFO, which allows superior charge storage compared to the ferroelectric charge storage mechanism.
