Rational design of carbon shell-encapsulated cobalt nanospheres to enhance microwave absorption performance

Co@C core–shell nanospheres highly dispersed on carbon supports were rationally designed to improve the microwave absorbing property of the composite material, and fabricated by one pot thermal decomposition and simple annealing process. The Co nanospheres were completely encapsulated with thin carb...
