Abstract

Electromagnetic shielding parameters are crucial to investigate unexplored nanoparticles and their nanocomposites. Herein, calcium-iron-aluminium (Ca: Fe: Al) nanocomposites are synthesised using the simple solution combustion technique. The as-synthesised nanocomposites with various doping concentrations of Al nanoparticles are characterised to study the structural and surface parameters and to confirm the successful formation. Further, the procured Ca: Fe: Al nanocomposites along with various doping concentrations are utilised for electromagnetic shielding applications, and various shielding parameters are calculated. It was confirmed that Ca: Fe: Al nanocomposites are suitable for electromagnetic shielding applications.
