[0137] Test 3

[0138] In this test, each of Application Samples 1-8 and Comparative Application Samples 1-8 was tested for acoustic performance, specifically as follows:

[0139] 0.14 g of each of Samples and Comparative Samples was taken for acoustic performance test. Herein, the acoustic performance test was performed using conventional methods in the art. For example, the acoustic performance of each of Samples and Comparative Samples can be tested in accordance with the method of measurement of electrical impedance shown in paragraphs 0049-0054 of Chinese patent publication CN105049997A. Specifically, each of Sample and Comparative Samples was tested in accordance with the method of measurement of electrical impedance to obtain an electrical impedance profile. The curve in the electrical impedance profile corresponds to the electrical impedance curve, where the highest point of the electrical impedance curve corresponds to the frequency F.sub.0. F.sub.0 measured when the speaker is not loaded with each of Samples and Comparative Samples is marked as F.sub.0-cavity, and F.sub.0 measured when the speaker is loaded with each of Samples and Comparative Samples is marked as F.sub.0-sample or Comparative Sample. F.sub.0 is calculated by the following equation:

F.sub.0=F.sub.0-cavityF.sub.0-sample or Comparative Sample

[0140] In this test example, the testing environment is a speaker module having a target cavity of 0.2 cc, and the high temperature and high humidity refers to an environment with a relative humidity of 85% and a temperature of 85 C. The measurement results obtained are shown in Table 3 below:

TABLE-US-00003 TABLE 3 F.sub.0 F.sub.0 offset (high temperature (high temperature and high and high Sample name F.sub.0/Hz humidity)/Hz humidity)/Hz Application Sample 1 95 91 4 Application Sample 2 99 94 5 Application Sample 3 99 95 4 Application Sample 4 102 98 4 Application Sample 5 103 101 2 Application Sample 6 105 103 2 Application Sample 7 107 105 2 Application Sample 8 96 92 4 Comparative 94 75 19 Application Sample 1 Comparative 98 79 19 Application Sample 2 Comparative 99 81 17 Application Sample 3 Comparative 103 93 10 Application Sample 4 Comparative 103 94 9 Application Sample 5 Comparative 106 96 10 Application Sample 6 Comparative 107 98 9 Application Sample 7 Comparative 94 77 17 Application Sample 8

[0141] From the test results shown in Table 3 above, it can be seen that the stability and reliability of the iron-modified acoustic materials produced by using the iron-modified molecular sieves as raw materials and shaping them as the acoustic materials for speakers, that is, the iron-modified acoustic materials, has been greatly improved at high temperature and high humidity, as compared with those produced by using unmodified molecular sieves. In particular, for the iron-modified acoustic materials produced from the iron-modified molecular sieves with low silica-alumina ratio (molar ratio of silica to alumina), such as Application Samples 1-3, the stability and reliability in acoustic performance is improved more significantly.

[0142] In conclusion, in the Examples of the present disclosure, the molecular sieve is modified with the iron source to produce the iron-modified molecular sieve, and the iron-modified acoustic material is produced from the iron-modified molecular sieves as a raw material, and provided in the rear cavity of the speaker, which can substantially improve its stability and reliability in terms of acoustic performance. The stability and reliability of the molecular sieve acoustic materials with silica-alumina ratio in any range can be improved after iron modification. Especially for the molecular sieve acoustic materials with low silica-alumina ratio (e.g., silica-alumina ratio 400:1), the stability and reliability in acoustic performance is improved more significantly.
