Transition-metal phosphides have been investigated for microwave absorption applications owing to their excellent conduction loss and magnetic property. In this study, novel composites comprised of porous Al 2 O 3 matrix loaded with Fe x Co y P (Fe x Co y P/Al 2 O 3) were prepared by vacuum impregnation, hydrothermal, and low-temperature phosphatizing methods. The experimental results show that Fe x Co y P is uniformly deposited on the surface of porous Al 2 O 3 ceramic, and the Fe x Co y P transforms from needle-like to particle-like structures as the Fe/Co ratio increases from 1:3 to 3:1. The minimum reflection loss (RL min) of FeCo 3 P/Al 2 O 3 composite reaches −26.19 dB at 12.4 GHz with a matching thickness of 2.6 mm, and the maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) achieves 4.2 GHz in the whole X-band at 3.2 mm thicknesses. This study confirmed that the porous Fe x Co y P/Al 2 O 3 composites are potential candidates for microwave absorption applications, and their microwave absorption properties can be enhanced by adjusting the ratio of Fe to Co.
