Demands to develop efficient microwave-absorbing materials are increasing with the advancement of information technology and the exponential rise in the usage of electromagnetic devices. To reduce electromagnetic interference and to overcome the adverse effects caused by microwave exposure resulting from the excessive usage of electromagnetic devices, microwave absorbers are very necessary. In addition, radar-absorbing materials are essential for stealth technology in military applications. Herein, we report a nanocomposite in which CoFeO (CF) nanoparticles were grown within the porous structure of AlO (PA), and this CoFeO-loaded AlO (PA-CF) nanocomposite was immobilized on the surface of nanometer-thin graphene sheets (Gr). Owing to the hierarchical structure created by the constituents, the (60PA-40CF)-Gr nanocomposite exhibited excellent microwave-absorption properties in the X-band region with a reflection loss (RL) value of ∼-30.68 dB (∼99.9% absorption) at 10.71 and 9.04 GHz when thicknesses were 2.0 and 2.3 mm, respectively. This nanocomposite demonstrated its competence as a lightweight, high-performance microwave absorber in the X-band region, which can be utilized in the applications of pioneering stealth technology.

This work investigates the roles of Co and Fe sites in a composite cocatalyst on the performance of hematite photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. The cobalt/iron-based composite (Co-Fe-O) cocatalyst, consisting of adjustable Co/Feratios, was synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal method. It reveals that Co sites with a robust capacity for low-bias hole capture, which is insignificantly affected by partial substitution by Fe, decelerate the charge recombination process.

The development of highly efficient electrocatalysts to reduce overpotentials is vital for accelerating the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) processes. Herein, we demonstrate ultrathin heterogeneous nanosheets as a promising OER electrocatalyst, which are composed of ultrafine CoFeO nanoparticles and a monolayered CoN-based metal-organic framework (MOF) matrix. The embedding of such inorganic nanoparticles in the MOF lattice creates metal Co sites located at the CoFeO/MOF interfaces.

Reversible exsolution and dissolution of metal nanoparticles in perovskite has been investigated as an efficient strategy to improve CO electrolysis performance. However, fundamental understanding with regard to the reversible exsolution and dissolution of metal nanoparticles in perovskite is still scarce. Herein, in situ exsolution and dissolution of CoFe alloy nanoparticles in Co-doped Sr Fe Mo O (SFMC) revealed by in situ X-ray diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopy, environmental scanning electron microscopy, and density functional theory calculations are reported.

A dual-modal fluorescence-magnetic resonance imaging technique has gained tremendous attention for its potential in the dawning era of early diagnosis of tumors with high accuracy. In this study, a facile approach has been developed to prepare a tumor-targetable nanoprobe, PTTA-Eu3+-CoFeO-FA nanoparticles, for dual-modal time-gated luminescence (TGL)-magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. The multifunctional nanoprobe was constructed by coating a tumor-targeting molecule, folic acid (FA), and a luminescent Eu3+ complex, PTTA-Eu3+, onto the surface of cobalt/iron oxide (CoFeO) nanoparticles.
