Various advanced microwave absorbing materials have been developed for reducing/avoiding the harm of microwave radiation. Among them, core-shell structural nanomaterials have been widely fabricated for microwave absorption. However, the "structure-performance" relationship between shell thickness and microwave absorption performance is rarely reported. In this paper, we first explored the "structure-performance" relationship between shell thickness and microwave absorption performance, based on the core-shell α-Fe₂O₃@SiO₂ nanoparticles with a constant α-Fe₂O₃-core size and changeable SiO₂-shell thickness. With increasing the SiO₂-shell thickness, the microwave absorption ability first increased, then decreased. Under a proper SiO₂-shell thickness of 35 nm, α-Fe₂O₃@SiO₂ sample achieved the strongest microwave absorbing ability with a reflection loss minimum value of –4.3 dB, better than that of pure α-Fe₂O₃ (–3.8 dB). This enhanced microwave absorption performance was mainly derived from the dielectric loss. Although the absolute value of the reflection loss was relatively low (–4.3 dB), this study shed an important reference on designing next-generation advanced iron oxide-based materials for microwave absorption.
