The electromagnetic properties of the samples were investigated at the X-band frequency. The XRD, RAMAN, TGA, FESEM, and XPS were studied to determine the chemical composition and morphology of the samples. The sample's electromagnetic performance mainly depends on multiple reflections, interfacial polarization, and magnetic loss. The results showed that the flake-like Co3O4 prepared at 200 °C for 12 h (FCo12) exhibits a minimum reflection loss of �42.4 dB at 11.7 GHz and an absorber thickness of 3.0 mm. The effective absorption bandwidth was also below �10 dB. This study provides a facile method to synthesize porous flake-like Co3O4 nanoparticles with excellent properties for effective microwave absorption performance at the X-band frequency. © 2022 Elsevier B.V. date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85142331222&doi=10.1016%2fj.mseb.2022.116132&partnerID=40&md5=4fb73a381707de70875c4f6cbc0d4646 id_number: 10.1016/j.mseb.2022.116132 full_text_status: none publication: Materials Science and Engineering: B volume: 287 refereed: TRUE citation: Yusuf, J.Y. and Soleimani, H. and Chuan, L.K. and Soleimani, H. and Balogun, B.B. and Abass, Z. and Adam, A.A.
