An organic–inorganic hybrid―polyaniline/CoRExFe2−xO4 (RE=La, Ce, Y, x=0.05–0.25) nanocomposites was prepared via a novel coordination-oxidative polymerization-hydrothermal route.
The as-prepared polyaniline/CoRExFe2−xO4 nanocomposites exhibit excellent microwave absorbing performance compared with the composites prepared by using conventional method.
The novel method reported in this work could be employed to prepare other conductive polymers/inorganic nanocomposites as well.
