Abstract
The utilization of electromagnetic waves is rapidly advancing into the millimeter-wave frequency range, posing increasingly severe challenges in terms of electromagnetic pollution prevention and radar stealth. However, existing millimeter-wave absorbers are still inadequate in addressing these issues due to their monotonous magnetic resonance pattern. In this work, rare-earth La3+ and non-magnetic Zr4+ ions are simultaneously incorporated into M-type barium ferrite (BaM) to intentionally manipulate the multi-magnetic resonance behavior. By leveraging the contrary impact of La3+ and Zr4+ ions on magnetocrystalline anisotropy field, the restrictive relationship between intensity and frequency of the multi-magnetic resonance is successfully eliminated. The magnetic resonance peak-differentiating and imitating results confirm that significant multi-magnetic resonance phenomenon emerges around 35 GHz due to the reinforced exchange coupling effect between Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions. Additionally, Mössbauer spectra analysis, first-principle calculations, and least square fitting collectively identify that additional La3+ doping leads to a profound rearrangement of Zr4+ occupation and thus makes the portion of polarization/conduction loss increase gradually. As a consequence, the La3+-Zr4+ co-doped BaM achieves an ultra-broad bandwidth of 12.5 + GHz covering from 27.5 to 40 + GHz, which holds remarkable potential for millimeter-wave absorbers around the atmospheric window of 35 GHz.

Abstract
Microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) characterized by high absorption efficiency and good environmental tolerance are highly desirable in practical applications. Both silicon carbide and carbon are considered as stable MAMs under some rigorous conditions, while their composites still fail to produce satisfactory microwave absorption performance regardless of the improvements as compared with the individuals. Herein, we have successfully implemented compositional and structural engineering to fabricate hollow SiC/C microspheres with controllable composition. The simultaneous modulation on dielectric properties and impedance matching can be easily achieved as the change in the composition of these composites. The formation of hollow structure not only favors lightweight feature, but also generates considerable contribution to microwave attenuation capacity. With the synergistic effect of composition and structure, the optimized SiC/C composite exhibits excellent performance, whose the strongest reflection loss intensity and broadest effective absorption reach - 60.8 dB and 5.1 GHz, respectively, and its microwave absorption properties are actually superior to those of most SiC/C composites in previous studies. In addition, the stability tests of microwave absorption capacity after exposure to harsh conditions and Radar Cross Section simulation data demonstrate that hollow SiC/C microspheres from compositional and structural optimization have a bright prospect in practical applications.

Abstract
Developing high-performance microwave absorption (MA) materials becomes an urgent concern in the field of electromagnetic protection. Constructing porous framework is an efficient approach to MA owing to the abilities of adjusting impedance matching and providing more reflection and scattering paths for electromagnetic waves. Herein, a cellulose nanofibril (CNF)/honeycomb-like carbon-shell encapsulated FeCoNi@C/carbon nanotube (CNT) composite aerogel was fabricated via a facile freeze-drying method. The super-lightweight composites showed a distinctive gradient structure for reflection and scattering inside aerogel pores, micrometer small pores, and nano-fillers on the pore walls. The composite aerogel showed an ideal minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -43.6 dB and remarkable adjustable effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 12.18 GHz due to good impedance matching, unique gradient porous structure, and synergies of multiple loss mechanisms. Therefore, this work will provide a viable strategy to improve the MA capability of absorbers by taking full advantage of constructing gradient reflection and scattering porous structure.

Abstract
The rational and effective combination of multicomponent materials and the design of subtle microstructure for efficient microwave absorption are still challenging. In this study, carbon-coated CoFe with heterogeneous interfaces was space-restricted in the void space of hollow mesoporous carbon spheres through a facile approach involving electrostatic adsorption and annealing, and a high-performance microwave absorber (MAs) (denoted as Co0.7Fe0.3@C@void@C) was successfully prepared. The heterostructure, three-dimensional lightweight porous morphology, and electromagnetic synergy strategy enabled the Co0.7Fe0.3@C@void@C material with yolk-shell structure to exhibit surprising microwave absorption properties. When the annealing temperature and filler loading were 550° C and 15 wt%, respectively, the composites exhibited an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.16 GHz at 2.48 mm and a minimum reflection loss of -24.1 dB at 2.11 mm. A maximum EAB of 7.21 GHz at 2.37 mm could be achieved for the composite prepared with an annealing temperature of 650° C. In addition, radar cross-section experiments demonstrated, the potential practical applicability of Co0.7Fe0.3@C@void@C. This work expands a new avenue to develop high-performance and lightweight MAs with ingenious microstructure.

Abstract
Recently, microwave absorption (MA) materials have attracted intensive research attention for their ability to counteract the effects of ever-growing electromagnetic pollution. However, conventional microwave absorbers suffer from complex fabrication processes, poor stability and different optimal thicknesses for minimum reflection loss (RLmin) and widest effective absorption bandwidth (EAB). To address these issues, we have used electrospinning followed by high-temperature annealing in argon to develop a flexible microwave absorber with strong wideband absorption. The MA properties of the carbon nanofibers (CNFs) can be tuned by adjusting annealing temperature, and are dependent on the composition and microstructure of the CNFs. The absorber membrane obtained at 800 °C consists of Fe0.64Ni0.36@graphite core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in CNFs, formed via a corrosion-like transformation from NiFe2O4 to Fe0.64Ni0.36 followed by surface graphitization. This nanostructure greatly enhances magnetic-dielectric synergistic loss to achieve superior MA properties, with an RLmin of -57.7 dB and an EAB of 6.48 GHz (11.20-17.68 GHz) both acquired at a thickness of 2.1 mm. This work provides useful insights into structure-property relationship of the CNFs, sheds light on the formation mechanism of Fe0.64Ni0.36@graphite NPs, and offers a simple synthesis route to fabricate light-weight and flexible microwave absorbers.

Abstract
Dimensional design and heterogeneous interface engineering are promising approaches for the fabrication of superior absorbers with high loss performance and a wide effective bandwidth. Therein, ZnO nanorods were successfully synthesized and combined with CoNi nanosheets by hydrothermal method, and PDA was then encapsulated on the surface of the material to form a unique one dimensional (1D) core-sheath structure. The extensive defects and residual functional groups are present in the calcined material, as well as the multiple heterogeneous interfaces enhance the dielectric loss induced by polarization. Simultaneously, the 1D structure wrapped with PDA offers an efficient pathway for electron transfer, hence facilitating the enhancement of conductive loss. In addition, the CoNi-LDHs sheet layer stacked on the surface not only causes multiple scattering and reflections of electromagnetic waves, but also provides magnetic losses to optimize the impedance matching. Finally, radar cross section (RCS) simulations further reveal that the composite can dissipate electromagnetic energy in practical applications. Consequently, the 1D multilayer ZnO@CoNi/C composite exhibits an optimal reflection loss of -55 dB with a thickness of 2.3 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) value of 6.8 GHz when the filling ratio is only 20 wt%. In summary, this paper provides a new direction for the fabrication of 1D multilayer nonhomogeneous interfacial absorbers with excellent performance.

Abstract
High-performance microwave absorption (MA) materials must be studied immediately since electromagnetic pollution has become a problem that cannot be disregarded. A straightforward composite material, comprising hollow MXene spheres loaded with C-Co frameworks, was prepared to develop multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). A high impedance and suitable morphology were guaranteed by the C-Co exoskeleton, the attenuation ability was provided by the MWCNTs endoskeleton, and the material performance was greatly enhanced by the layered core-shell structure. When the thickness was only 2.04 mm, the effective absorption bandwidth was 5.67 GHz, and the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) was - 70.70 dB. At a thickness of 1.861 mm, the sample calcined at 700 °C had a RLmin of - 63.25 dB. All samples performed well with a reduced filler ratio of 15 wt%. This paper provides a method for making lightweight core-shell composite MA materials with magnetoelectric synergy.

Abstract
Two-dimensional porous carbon materials have been considered good candidates for developing lightweight microwave absorbers because of their low density and tunable dielectric constant. However, large-scale synthesis, with precise control of the microstructure, by a simple method, remains is still a great challenging. Herein, a two-dimensional N/O co-doped carbon nanomesh (NOCN) was prepared via large-scale route by simple carbonization of analogue polyurea (PU) nanosheet consisted of p-phenyldiisocyanate and urea, and the graphitization degree, porous structure, sheet size and the heteroatom doping content could be easily adjusted by controlling carbonization temperature. Thus, the electromagnetic parameter and the corresponding microwave absorption can be regulated. When the carbonization temperature was 900 °C (NOCN-900), the obtained sample exhibited the best microwave absorption performance, and the reflection loss (RL) value was -54.2 dB with an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 7.44 GHz at a thickness of 2.3 under fill loading of only 5 wt%. The facile and large-scale synthesis route combined with excellent performance makes NOCN-900 to be a great promising candidate for practical application.

Abstract
Despite the fact that the 2D structure Ti3C2Tx with abundant defects and functional groups contributes to the high microwave absorption (MA) performance, it is difficulty to improve the strength and bandwidth by pursuing higher conductivity or loading more groups due to the limitation of intrinsic properties. Therefore, it is important to ingeniously design efficient Ti3C2Tx based MA composites assembling the features of abundant surface groups, good dispersibility, multiple composition, and precise structure. Inspired by the fact that Ti3C2Tx contains thermodynamically metastable marginal Ti atoms, TiO2 nanoparticles can be grown in-situ on Ti3C2Tx nanosheets uniformly and increase the spacing of Ti3C2Tx layers, and then MnFe2O4 nanoparticles are introduced into the layers of Ti3C2Tx by electrostatic self-assembly method for optimized impedance matching. This designed hierarchical MnFe2O4/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx composites shows excellent MA performance, and the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reaches -46.91 dB with a thickness of 2.5 mm at frequency of 10.4 GHz. The high MA performance mainly comes from the enhanced interfacial polarization induced by edges location and interface region among TiO2, MnFe2O4, and Ti3C2Tx. In addition, the conduction loss existed in the interior untreated Ti3C2Tx, the dielectric loss generated by multiple composition, the multiple scattering from improved large surface specific area all contribute to the excellent MA performance. Meanwhile, the simple preparation process and good stability storage at room temperature under air atmosphere of the MnFe2O4/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx composites promote its exploration on practical use, and the lab-gown cloth coated with MnFe2O4/TiO2/Ti3C2Tx composites shows better electromagnetic shielding properties, hydrophobicity, and heat transfer ability than pure fabric, showing the potential for practical application.

Abstract
The electromagnetic (EM) parameters are the key factors to decode the complex microwave absorption properties, including matching thickness, absorption bandwidth and intensity. Numerous works hence have been focused on optimizing EM parameters to reinforce the comprehensive absorption performance, while most of the adopted experimental means still remain in sporadic and random attempts. In this work, the data-driven approach is first employed to forecast that a fierce frequency-dispersion of permittivity is necessary for the broad absorption, and the appropriate magnetic component can mitigate this elusive trend of required permittivity. Oriented by the simulated results, the B/N diatomic doped C/Fe3C magnetoelectric composites are successfully constructed, aiming at the precise regulation of electronic properties to achieve these specially customized EM parameters by forming multi-polarization resonances. The results demonstrate that the introduction of N defects and B defects could enrich the types of dipole pairs (CN, C-B, CNB, vacancy, etc.) and thus activate multi-polarization behavior. The charge density differences calculated by the first-principle further demonstrate that the occupation of B for C bonded with Pyridinic-N and Pyrrolic-N contributes to intense polarization behaviors over the lower frequency range. As a result, excellent microwave absorption properties can be finally achieved with an effective absorbing bandwidth reaching 7.2 GHz at 2.1 mm, implying that the joint use of data-driven and doping engineering strategies to customize frequency dispersion characteristics provides precious guidelines for boosting microwave absorption performance.

Abstract
Biomass-derived porous carbon materials have great potential for the development of lightweight and efficient broadband microwave absorbers. In this study, we reported the successful immobilization of Co3O4/CoFe2O4 nanocubes on porous carbon derived from ginkgo biloba shells by activated carbonization and electrostatic self-assembly processes. The optimal reflection loss value of the prepared BPC@Co3O4/CoFe2O4 reaches -68.5 dB when the filling load is 10 wt%, and the effective absorption bandwidth is 6.2 GHz with a matching thickness of 2 mm. The excellent microwave absorption (MA) performance is attributed to the rational three-dimensional structural design, the modulation of magnetic/carbon components, the optimized impedance matching, and the coordinated action of multiple mechanisms. It was further demonstrated by high-frequency structural simulation that the composite can effectively dissipate microwave energy in practical applications. Therefore, the results indicate a favorable potential of the synthesis and application of semiconductor/magnetic component/biomass-derived carbon microwave absorbing materials.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal chalcogenides (TMCs) hold great promise as novel microwave absorption materials owing to their interlayer interactions and unique magnetoelectric properties. However, overcoming the impedance mismatch at the low loading is still a challenge for TMCs due to the restricted loss pathways caused by their high-density characteristic. Here, an interface engineering based on the heterostructure of 2D Cr5Te8 and graphite is in situ constructed via a one-step chemical vapor deposit to modulate impedance matching and introduce multiple attenuation mechanisms. Intriguingly, the Cr5Te8@EG (ECT) heterostructure exhibits a minimum reflection loss of up to - 57.6 dB at 15.4 GHz with a thin thickness of only 1.4 mm under a low filling rate of 10%. The density functional theory calculations confirm that the splendid performance of ECT heterostructure primarily derives from charge redistribution at the abundant intimate interfaces, thereby reinforcing interfacial polarization loss. Furthermore, the ECT coating displays a remarkable radar cross section reduction of 31.9 dB m2, demonstrating a great radar microwave scattering ability. This work sheds light on the interfacial coupled stimulus response mechanism of TMC-based heterogeneous structures and provides a feasible strategy to manipulate high-quality TMCs for excellent microwave absorbers.

Abstract
With the increased usage of electromagnetic microwaves (EM) in wireless communication technology, the problem of electromagnetic radiation pollution has grown dramatically. This study successfully prepared novel Co/C magnetic nanocomposite fibers for EM absorption using the electrospinning and carbonization methods. The morphology, composition, magnetic properties, and EM absorption performance were extensively characterized. This material shows exceptional EM absorption performance, achieving -72.01 dB (at 2.08 mm) for minimum reflection loss (RLmin) and 5.4 GHz (at 1.68 mm) for effective absorption bandwidth (EAB). The performance surpasses not only any single precursor but also stands as the best in similar investigations. It can be attributed to the microstructure of magnetic Co nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanofibers and the macrostructure of cross-linked three-dimensional (3D) conductive networks. The combination of these structures resulted in excellent dielectric loss, magnetic loss, and impedance matching. This research offers new insights into the production of one-dimensional (1D) carbon-based absorbers, while also establishing a theoretical foundation for exploring the application potential of this material. These findings may contribute to the development of more efficient and practical EM absorption materials in the future.

Abstract
The demand of microwave absorption materials (MAMs) with unique morphologies and electromagnetic (EM) balance has become necessary in recent years. Due to the ease of synthesis and tunable structure, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used for this special MAMs. In this study, a new three-dimensional hybrid MOF is proposed that is co-doped with six equally branched star morphologies. The Co-C composite has the same six-branched morphology as that of the precursor. When the EM wave is incident, this special structure makes it easier for the EM wave to enter the material vertically due to the expansion of the incident surface, which is effective in adjusting the transmission path of the electron and the reflection and distribution of the EM wave. Because of the special morphology and magneto-dielectric synergy, the Co-C composite shows a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -48.5 dB at 11.0 GHz at an absorption thickness of 3.0 mm, with a microwave absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 6.1 GHz. This research provides a practical guidance for preparing the MAMs of special star structure.

Abstract
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and equipment heat dissipation problems are becoming increasingly prominent in advanced applications such as modern wireless communications, driverless cars, and portable devices. Multifunctional composites with efficient energy storage, conversion, and microwave absorption are urgently needed. We reported an effective strategy to construct attapulgite (ATP), carbon nanotubes (CNT), and NiCo alloys composite mineral microspheres (ACNC). Urchin-like TiO2 was coated on the surface of ACNC to form composite microspheres (ACNCT), which was compounded with paraffin (P-ACNCT) to prepare thermal energy storage and microwave absorption integrated material. The urchin-like TiO2 morphology possesses unique advantages in encapsulating paraffin. The results show that the melting and solidification enthalpy of the P-ACNCT reaches 111.6 J/g and 108.1 J/g, respectively, which indicates excellent thermal energy storage capacity. Combining a dielectric TiO2 shell with a magnetic composite microsphere core can produce a core-shell microsphere mechanism that allows for adjustable reflection loss and promotes impedance matching. The effective microwave absorption bandwidth of P-ACNCT can reach 5.76 GHz when the thickness is only 1.6 mm in the 2-18 GHz range. P-ACNCT is significant for synchronous microwave absorption and thermal energy regulation of advanced electronic equipment.

Abstract
Melamine-derived carbon foam (MDCF) and nickel-cobalt bimetallic nanosheet arrays (NiCo-BNSA) possess unique porous structures and excellent microwave absorption (MA) properties, making them potentially useful in MA applications. In this investigation, we fabricated NiCo-BNSA/reduced graphene oxide/MDCF (NiCo-BNSA/RGO/MDCF) composites utilizing a two-stage synthesis protocol. This process incorporated melamine foam (MF) pretreatment, carbonization, and a subsequent in-situ growth stage, resulting in the creation of a three-dimensional porous network structure. By adjusting the RGO volume, we were able to manipulate the structure and composition of the NiCo-BNSA/RGO/MDCF composites, leading to an enhancement in their MA performance. It was also observed that the NiCo-BNSA was evenly distributed on the surface of both the RGO and MDCF. The composites exhibited an optimal reflection loss (RLmin) of -67.8 dB at a thickness of 2.50 mm, and by varying their thickness, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, RL ≤ -10 dB) extended to 9.80 GHz, encompassing the entire C and X bands. This study presents a novel approach for fabricating lightweight and efficient carbon-based MA composites.

Abstract
In recent years, electromagnetic pollution has become more and more serious, and there is an urgent need for microwave absorbing materials with superior performance. Prussian blue analogue (PBA) is a metal organic framework material with the advantages of diverse morphology and tunable composition. Therefore, PBA has attracted a lot of attention in the field of microwave absorption. In this work, PBA was coated on the surface of carbon composites by hydrothermal method, and then PPy was compounded on its surface after carbonization treatment to construct hierarchical core-shell CoC@CoFe/C@PPy fibers. The fibers have Co-doped C composites as the core and CoFe/C decorated with PPy as the shell. This unique hierarchical structure and various microwave absorption mechanisms are described in detail. The microwave absorption performance is optimized by adjusting the filling of the sample. The best microwave absorption performances are achieved at 25 wt% filling of CoC@CoFe/C@PPy. At a thickness of just 1.69 mm, CoC@CoFe/C@PPy fiebrs have a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -64.32 dB. When the thickness is 1.88 mm, CoC@CoFe/C@PPy achieves a maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABmax) of 5.38 GHz. The results indicate that the CoC@CoFe/C@PPy composite fibers have a great potential in the field of microwave absorption.

Abstract
To improve the homogeneity of heating, the magnetic absorbing material Fe3O4 is considered to use in microwave pyrolysis of oily sludge. Therefore, the effect of Fe3O4 on the microwave pyrolysis of oily sludge is investigated based on gas volatile products. Thermogravimetric mass spectrometry result certifies that Fe3O4 will increase the weight-loss ratio from 13.0% to 14.1%. Also, the characteristic peak intensity of CO in gas products decreases from 5.41 × 10-10 A/g to 1.95 × 10-10 A/g, while H2O increases from 3.57 × 10-10 A/g to 7.32 × 10-10 A/g and CO2 increases from 6.87 × 10-10 A/g to 8.92 × 10-10 A/g. This is caused by the esterification of alcohols and esters and the reduction of Fe3O4 by CO. Based on the decrease in activation energy and enthalpy values of Stage II and IV, it infers that Fe3O4 catalyzes the pyrolysis process of oily sludge to some extent. Similarly, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry results show that Fe3O4 can make the types of gas products increase. Especially, the number of molecular species increases from 5 to 46 under 200-300 °C. Finally, a simple molecular dynamics simulation model is conducted, and the results are in agreement with the experimental results. This study shows that Fe3O4 improves the pyrolysis homogeneity and the pyrolysis efficiency also improves.

Abstract
To address the issues of high oxygen content and energy consumption in the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of biomass for biofuel production, this study used high-temperature pretreated red mud (RM) as an additive. The pretreated RM exhibited dual functionalities, namely microwave absorption and catalytic properties, during the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of cow dung (CD). This study also evaluated the optimization potential of energy recovery efficiency. The results showed that the addition of pretreated RM significantly increased the oil yield during the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of CD. The highest oil yield (59.63%) was obtained via the microwave-assisted pyrolysis of CD over catalysis with RM pretreated at 750 °C (RM750). Through the optimization of the RM750-to-CD mixing ratio, optimal oil quality and energy recovery efficiency were achieved. At a mixing ratio of 1:1, the pyrolysis oil featured the highest aromatic hydrocarbon content and lowest acid content. The high-temperature pretreatment of RM increased the Fe2O3 content, which enhanced the dielectric properties and magnetic loss ability of the reactants. This resulted in localized high temperatures and the formation of "hot spots," which can promote the deoxygenation and hydrogenation reactions of oil. Consequently, the lower heating rate of oil increased from 35.12 to 40.11 MJ kg-1. The released oxygen escaped in the form of CO. In addition, pyrolytic char was used as an in situ microwave absorbing material owing to its increased Fe2O3 content and graphitization degree, leading to an increase in energy recovery efficiency from 4.71% to 9.98%. This study provides valuable guidance for the efficient utilization of diversified solid wastes and demonstrates the potential application of microwave-assisted pyrolysis technology in the resource utilization of solid wastes.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXene) have emerged as promising candidates for microwave absorption (MA) materials. However, they also have some drawbacks, such as poor impedance matching, high self-stacking tendency, and high density. To tackle these challenges, MXene nanosheets were incorporated into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers and subsequently assembled into a three-dimensional (3D) network structure through PAN carbonization, yielding MXene/C aerogels. The 3D network effectively extends the path of microcurrent transmission, leading to enhanced conductive loss of electromagnetic (EM) waves. Moreover, the aerogel's rich pore structure significantly improves the impedance matching while effectively reducing the density of the MXene-based absorbers. EM parameter analysis shows that the MXene/C aerogels exhibit a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) value of - 53.02 dB (f = 4.44 GHz, t = 3.8 mm), and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 5.3 GHz (t = 2.4 mm, 7.44-12.72 GHz). Radar cross-sectional (RCS) simulations were employed to assess the radar stealth effect of the aerogels, revealing that the maximum RCS reduction value of the perfect electric conductor covered by the MXene/C aerogel reaches 12.02 dB m2. In addition to the MA performance, the MXene/C aerogel also demonstrates good thermal insulation performance, and a 5-mm-thick aerogel can generate a temperature gradient of over 30 °C at 82 °C. This study provides a feasible design approach for creating lightweight, efficient, and multifunctional MXene-based MA materials.

Abstract
At present, to solve the threat of electromagnetic wave (EMW) radiation pollution to human health, intelligent control and information security, tremendous efforts have been made to manufacture EMW absorbing materials. For ideal microwave absorption materials (MAMs), it is generally necessary not only to pursue strong microwave absorption (MA) over wide effective absorption bandwidth (EAB), but also to take into account the requirements of light weight, thin matching thickness and chemical stability characteristics. It has been found that magnetite (Fe3O4) is the most promising MAM to absorb and dissipate EMW among various absorbers, because of its good mechanical and chemical stability, controllable morphology, high Curie temperature, easy preparation, economy and excellent magnetic properties. However, the application performance of Fe3O4 absorber with single composition is limited by its easy agglomeration, eddy current, high density, and impedance mismatch. In addition, achieving efficient MA metrics with low absorber loading remains a huge challenge. To overcome these limitations, conjugation with dielectric carbon-based materials and special structural designs have been extensively explored as viable solutions to optimize the microwave absorption performance (MAP) of Fe3O4. This paper reviews the recent research progress of Fe3O4/carbon MAMs, and then the influence of dimensions and structures regulations on the MAPs are introduced in detail. Finally, the current existing problems and future development direction of Fe3O4/carbon composites in the field of MA are also presented.

Abstract
Wood is an insulator material, using its porous structure to endow it with efficient microwave absorption and broaden its application range is still a major challenge. Here, wood-based Fe3O4 composites with excellent microwave absorption properties and high mechanical strength were prepared by alkaline sulfite method, in-situ co-precipitation method and compression densification method. The results showed that the magnetic Fe3O4 was densely deposited in the wood cells, and the prepared wood-based microwave absorption composites had both high electrical conductivity, magnetic loss, excellent impedance matching performance and attenuation performance, as well as effective microwave absorption properties. In the frequency range of 2-18 GHz, the minimum reflection loss value was -25.32 dB. At the same time, it had high mechanical properties. Compared with the untreated wood, its modulus of elasticity (MOE) in bending increased by 98.77%, and modulus of rapture (MOR) in bending improved by 67.9%. The developed wood-based microwave absorption composite is expected to be used in electromagnetic shielding fields such as anti-radiation and anti-interference.

Abstract
The impedance matching performance of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be effectively enhanced by developing a uniform magnetic impedance matching layer, which can take on critical significance in achieving the desirable microwave absorption (MA) performance. To obtain a uniform coating of Nickel (Ni) nanoparticles on CNTs, several methods have been developed (e.g., the γ-irradiation technique, electroless deposition, as well as microwave welding method). However, the intricate and complicated conditions of the above-mentioned methods limit their wide application. Therefore, controlling the distribution of Ni nanoparticles with the aid of a concise and effective method remains a great challenge. Herein, in view of the uniform dispersion effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on CNTs and its complexation with Ni ions, uniform coating of Ni nanoparticles on CNTs is well developed after it is introduced in the hydrothermal process. The prepared Ni/CNTs composites exhibited excellent MA performance in comparison with those of reported Ni/CNTs composites for the ideal impedance matching performance and microwave attenuation ability. When the filler content was only 15 wt%, the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reached -39.5 dB, and the effective bandwidth (EB) with RL < -10 dB reached 5.2 GHz at the thickness of 1.15 mm. A scalable strategy of regulating the distribution of Ni nanoparticles and preparing a lightweight microwave absorber based on CNTs was developed in this study, which can serve as a vital guideline for preparing novel MA composite materials.

Abstract
The steadily increasing use of microwave stealth materials in aerospace flying vehicles needs the development of lightweight absorbers with low density and high thermal stability for printing or spraying. In that regard, the structural designability of typical microwave absorbers made of Fe3O4 seems to be a significant roadmap. In this work, a hollow spherical structure with a uniform carbon shell around the urchin-like Fe3O4 core (Fe3O4@C) was produced via a two-step hydrothermal method and annealing. The Fe3O4@C absorber exhibited a strong minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -73.5 dB at the matching thickness of 3.23 mm. The maximum effective absorption bandwidth (EABmax) was 4.78 GHz at 4.55 mm. The proposed urchin-like core-shell structure was shown to provide good impedance matching and electromagnetic loss ability due to the synergistic effect of Fe3O4 and C. In particular, the urchin-like structure increases the heterogeneous interfaces and effectively improves their polarization and relaxation. On the other hand, it reduces the density of the absorber and enhances multiple scattering attenuations of electromagnetic waves (EMWs). Therefore, the findings of the present study open up prospects for the design of high-efficiency lightweight microwave absorbers with specialized structures.

Abstract
Multi-layer 2D material assemblies provide a great number of interfaces beneficial for electromagnetic wave absorption. However, avoiding agglomeration and achieving layer-by-layer ordered intercalation remain challenging. Here, 3D reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/MXene/TiO2/Fe2C lightweight porous microspheres with periodical intercalated structures and pronounced interfacial effects were constructed by spray-freeze-drying and microwave irradiation based on the Maxwell-Wagner effect. Such approach reinforced interfacial effects via defects introduction, porous skeleton, multi-layer assembly and multi-component system, leading to synergistic loss mechanisms. The abundant 2D/2D/0D/0D intercalated heterojunctions in the microspheres provide a high density of polarization charges while generating abundant polarization sites, resulting in boosted interfacial polarization, which is verified by CST Microwave Studio simulations. By precisely tuning the 2D nanosheets intercalation in the heterostructures, both the polarization loss and impedance matching improve significantly. At a low filler loading of 5 wt%, the polarization loss rate exceeds 70%, and a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -67.4 dB can be achieved. Moreover, radar cross-section simulations further confirm the attenuation ability of the optimized porous microspheres. These results not only provide novel insights into understanding and enhancing interfacial effects, but also constitute an attractive platform for implementing heterointerface engineering based on customized 2D hierarchical architectures.

Abstract
The design of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) derived composites with multiple loss mechanisms and multi-scale micro/nano structures is an important research direction of microwave absorbing materials. Herein, multi-scale bayberry-like Ni-MOF@N-doped carbon composites (Ni-MOF@NC) are obtained by a MOF assisted strategy. By utilizing the special structure of MOF and regulating its composition, the effective improvement of Ni-MOF@NC's microwave absorption performance has been achieved. The nanostructure on the surface of core-shell Ni-MOF@NC can be regulated and N doping on carbon skeleton by adjusting the annealing temperature. The optimal reflection loss of Ni-MOF@NC is -69.6 dB at 3 mm, and the widest effective absorption bandwidth is 6.8 GHz. This excellent performance can be attributed to the strong interface polarization caused by multiple core-shell structures, the defect and dipole polarization caused by N doping, and the magnetic loss caused by Ni. Meanwhile, the coupling of magnetic and dielectric properties enhances the impedance matching of Ni-MOF@NC. The work proposes a particular idea of designing and synthesizing an applicable microwave absorption material that possesses excellent microwave absorption performance and promising application potential.

Abstract
Biomass-carbon materials have excellent electromagnetic wave attenuation properties, which is one of the essential factors for developing ultra-thin matched-thickness, and high-performance microwave absorption materials. This study reports a two-step procedure consisting of carbonization and subsequent in-situ growth for preparing a wrinkle-like multilayer biomass-derived composites with magnetic Co particles and ZnO particles (CoZnO/C-X). The synergistic effect of a wrinkle-like multilayer structure and Co and ZnO particles, as well as the existence of many heterogeneous interfaces in the composites structure, and efficiently creates multiple scattering and reflections, which gives the composites the strong microwave absorption properties. The minimum reflection loss value (RLmin) of CoZnO/C-X reaches - 54.90 dB with a thickness of 1.8 mm, and the effective absorption bandwidth (lower than - 10 dB) is 7.2 GHz covering from 10.8 GHz to18.0 GHz with matching thickness of 2.0 mm. Furthermore, the reasonable dielectric/magnetic losses, optimized impedance matching and enhanced polarization loss play an indispensable role among improving microwave absorption performance. Thus, this result provides a good potential method for preparation of magnetic particle/metal oxide/biomass-derived carbon microwave absorbing structural materials.

Abstract
The design and preparation of heterogeneous structures of dielectric materials has been the mainstream direction for the construction of superior microwave absorption materials (MAMs). We report a facile and efficient procedure combination of hydrothermal process and subsequent heat treatment for successfully prepared bilayer core-shell structure self-assembled V2O3 microspheres (BCSV). The microstructure, defects, dielectric properties and microwave absorption (MA) properties of BCSV were systematically investigated, and the effect of bilayer core-shell structure on the MA properties was discussed. By varying the heat treatment temperature, it is feasible to regulate the thickness of V2O3 bilayer and its unique structure defects, hence enhancing the attenuation and multiple polarization loss of electromagnetic waves inside the microspheres. Self-assembled V2O3 microspheres with bilayer core-shell structure exhibit high-performance MA property. The reflection loss (RL) gets to - 67.12 dB at 11.69 GHz covering the whole X-band after heat treatment at 600 °C, and the broad effective absorption bandwidth is 5.49 GHz with a thickness of 2.20 mm. The conductivity loss, multiple polarization loss and dielectric loss are ascribed to the specific bilayer core-shell structure. Thus, our work provides a good perspective on how to create vanadium oxide-based MAMs with effective absorption and broad bandwidth.

Abstract
Advanced electromagnetic devices, as the pillars of the intelligent age, are setting off a grand transformation, redefining the structure of society to present pluralism and diversity. However, the bombardment of electromagnetic radiation on society is also increasingly serious along with the growing popularity of "Big Data". Herein, drawing wisdom and inspiration from nature, an eco-mimetic nanoarchitecture is constructed for the first time, highly integrating the advantages of multiple components and structures to exhibit excellent electromagnetic response. Its electromagnetic properties and internal energy conversion can be flexibly regulated by tailoring microstructure with oxidative molecular layer deposition (oMLD), providing a new cognition to frequency-selective microwave absorption. The optimal reflection loss reaches ≈ - 58 dB, and the absorption frequency can be shifted from high frequency to low frequency by increasing the number of oMLD cycles. Meanwhile, a novel electromagnetic absorption surface is designed to enable ultra-wideband absorption, covering almost the entire K and Ka bands. More importantly, an ingenious self-powered device is constructed using the eco-mimetic nanoarchitecture, which can convert electromagnetic radiation into electric energy for recycling. This work offers a new insight into electromagnetic protection and waste energy recycling, presenting a broad application prospect in radar stealth, information communication, aerospace engineering, etc.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional microwave absorbing materials for practical applications in complex environments is a challenging research hotspot. Herein, the core-shell structure FeCo@C nanocages were successfully anchored on the surface of biomass-derived carbon (BDC) from pleurotus eryngii (PE) via freeze-drying and electrostatic self-assembly process, achieving lightweight, anti-corrosive, and excellent absorption properties. The superior versatility benefits from the large specific surface area, high conductivity, three-dimensional cross-linked networks, and appropriate impedance matching characteristics. The as-prepared aerogel realizes a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of -69.5 dB with a corresponding effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 8.6 GHz at 2.9 mm. Simultaneously, the computer simulation technique (CST) further proves that the multifunctional material can dissipate microwave energy in actual applications. More importantly, the special heterostructure of aerogel endows excellent resistance to acid, alkali, salt medium, allowing potential applications of the microwave absorbing materials under complex environmental conditions.

Abstract
Multiband compatible stealth engineering with controllable visible light-infrared (VIS-IR) features and radar wave absorption is urgently needed to improve the survivability of advanced military equipment. Cr2O3 has good visible light stealth performance under green background, but it is lack of IR and radar multi-band stealth properties. Herein, a core-shelled Cr2O3@stannic antimony oxide (ATO) structure was developed to enhance the IR-radar compatible stealth properties of Cr2O3 by in-situ precipitation method, concurrently maintaining its visible light stealth property. The morphology, conductivity, and infrared stealth properties of the Cr2O3@ATO hybrids were influenced by the calcination temperature, and the IR and radar stealth performance were tunable by ATO content. The lowest emissivity of Cr2O3@ATO pigments is 0.852, reduced by 10% than pure Cr2O3. The Cr2O3@ATO filled silicone resin coatings possessed good thermal stability and IR stealth stability. Benefiting from the enhanced interfacial polarization and conductive loss, the Cr2O3@ATO exhibited an effective absorption bandwidth of 2 GHz in the X band, with respect to pure Cr2O3 without radar absorption property. The Cr2O3@ATO structure opens an avenue for advanced VIS-IR-Radar compatible stealth materials.

Abstract
High-performance microwave absorption coatings are critically required in the stealth defense system of military platforms. Regrettably, just optimizing the property but neglecting the application feasibility seriously inhibits its practical application in the field of microwave absorption. To face this challenge, the Ti4O7/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/Al2O3 coatings were successfully fabricated by a plasma-sprayed method. For the different oxygen vacancy-induced Ti4O7 coatings, the enhanced ε' and ε'' values in the frequency of X-band is due to the synergistic manipulation of conductive path, defects and interfacial polarization. The optimal reflection loss of Ti4O7/CNTs/Al2O3 sample (0 wt% CNTs) is -55.7 dB (8.9 GHz of 2.41 mm), while the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of Ti4O7/CNTs/Al2O3 sample (5 wt% CNTs) increases to 20.5 dB as the enhanced electrical conductivity. In special, the flexural strength of Ti4O7/CNTs/Al2O3 coatings first increases from 48.59 MPa (0 wt% CNTs) to 67.13 MPa (2.5 wt% CNTs) and then decreases to 38.31 MPa (5 wt% CNTs), demonstrating that an appropriate amount of CNTs evenly dispersed in the Ti4O7/Al2O3 ceramic matrix can effectively play the role of CNTs as the strengthening phase of the coatings. This research will provide a strategy by tailoring synergistic effect of dielectric loss and conduction loss for oxygen vacancy-mediated Ti4O7 material to broaden the application of absorbing or shielding ceramic coatings.

Abstract
Low-dimensional cell-decorated three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical structures are considered excellent candidates for achieving remarkable microwave absorption. In the present work, a one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT)-decorated 3D crucifix carbon framework embedded with Co7Fe3/Co5.47N nanoparticles (NPs) was fabricated by the in-situ pyrolysis of a trimetallic metal-organic framework (MOF) precursor (ZIF-ZnFeCo). Co7Fe3/Co5.47N NPs were uniformly dispersed on the carbon matrix. The 1D CNT nanostructure was well regulated on the 3D crucifix surface by changing the pyrolysis temperature. The synergistic effect of 1D CNT and the 3D crucifix carbon framework increased the conductive loss, and Co7Fe3/Co5.47N NPs induced interfacial polarization and magnetic loss; thus, the composite manifested superior microwave absorption performance. The optimum absorption intensity was -54.0 dB, and the effective absorption frequency bandwidth reached 5.4 GHz at a thickness of 1.65 mm. The findings of this work could provide significant guidance for the fabrication of MOF-derived hybrids for high-performance microwave absorption applications.

Abstract
Reasonable heterointerface modification can effectively regulate and enhance the microwave absorption of electromagnetic materials. The surface of magnetic permalloy (PM) microparticles is modified herein by coating double-layer metal organic frameworks (MOF), which are composed of a 2-methylimidazole cobalt salt (ZIF-67) layer and a 2-methylimidazole zinc salt (ZIF-8) layer. A stable heterointerface structure with cobalt/carbon (Co/C) and zinc/carbon (Zn/C) layers is formed on the surface of PM microparticles after pyrolysis. These particles include two types of composite particles of PM solely encapsulated by ZIF-67 or ZIF-8, PM@ZIF67 and PM@ZIF8, respectively, and two types of composite PM particles with a double-layered MOF outer shell structure obtained by exchanging the coating sequence (PM@ZIF8@ZIF67 and PM@ZIF67@ZIF8). Furthermore, the thermal decomposition temperature has a significant impact on the surface morphology and magnetic properties of the composite particles. After pyrolyzing at 500 °C, the PM@ZIF67@ZIF8 samples exhibit the highest microwave absorption performance among these samples. Specifically, the minimum reflection loss and effective absorption bandwidth of PM@ZIF67@ZIF8 after pyrolyzing at 500 °C can reach -47.3 dB at a matching thickness of 3.8 mm and 5.3 GHz at a matching thickness of 2.5 mm, respectively. A heterointerface with an electrical field orientation is created in the PM@ZIF67@ZIF8 particles, which effectively enhances the interface polarization and dipole polarization. Furthermore, the formation of a three-dimensional carbon network after pyrolysis is also useful for optimizing impedance matching and enhancing magneto-electric synergism.

Abstract
The development of electronic information technology has placed higher demands on microwave absorption materials (MAMs), especially the exploration of novel MAMs to broaden their application. At present, little attention has been given the wave absorption properties of transition metal borides (TMBs). In this work, a simple and economical method is developed to prepare Ni3B/Ni heterostructure nanosheets and their possible applications for microwave absorption (MA) and supercapacitor are evaluated. It is worth noting that Ni3B/Ni nanosheets exhibit excellent MA properties due to the aggregated nanosheet-like morphology of Ni3B/Ni with enhancing interfacial polarization, as well as the synergistic effect of dielectric and magnetic losses. It is observed in experiments that the minimum reflection loss value of Ni3B/Ni is -41.60 dB at 16.8 GHz. Moreover, the maximum effective absorption bandwidth can reach 3.28 GHz. Furthermore, Ni3B/Ni has good energy storage characteristics and is able to provide a specific capacity of 1150.6F g-1 at a current density of 1 A g-1. Meanwhile, it has the ability to maintain an initial capacity of 74.4 % after 1000 cycles at a current density of 10 A g-1. Therefore, this study provides an idea to explore TMBs as high-performance MA and supercapacitor materials.

Abstract
Biomass derived carbon has attracted extensive attention in the field of microwave absorption because of its sustainability and porous structure beneficial to microwave attenuation. In this study, 3D lamellar skeletal network porous carbon was successfully obtained from hull of water chestnut using biomass waste as raw material by controlling the ratio of KOH and precursors in a one-step carbonization process. The optimization of biomass carbon morphology was achieved and its microwave absorption properties were investigated. At the temperature of 600 °C, when the ratio of hull of water chestnut to KOH is 1:1, the porous carbon material with filling ratio of 35% can reach the effective absorption bandwidth (RL < -10 dB) of 6.0 GHz (12-18 GHz) at the matching thickness of 1.90 mm, covering the whole Ku band. When the thickness is 2.97 mm, the optimal reflection loss reaches -60.76 dB. The surface defects, interface polarization and dipole polarization of 3D porous skeleton network structure derived from hull of water chestnut contribute to the excellent reflection loss and bandwidth of porous carbon materials. The porous carbon with low density, low cost and simple preparation method has broad application prospects in the preparation of biomass-derived microwave absorbers.

We found that the particle size of the obtained Mo2C/C composites could be simply tailored by the added ammonium molybdate content in the initial solution for the preparation of the Mo-polydopamine precursor. This helped tailor the BET surface area, which significantly impacts microwave absorption performance. The sample with a BET surface area of 173.31 m2g-1 displayed high-efficiency microwave absorption, and the effective absorbing band reached up to 7.04 GHz (10.96-18 GHz) with the matching thickness of 2.9 mm at relatively low filler loading (only 10 wt%). Thus, the excellent microwave absorption performance and simple preparation process of the flower-like Mo2C@C composites are promising for applications requiring lightweight and broadband microwave absorption.

Abstract
Graphene with abundant defects has been considered as the most lightweight electromagnetic functional materials. Although important, the dominant electromagnetic response of defective graphene with diverse morphologies is rarely the focus of existing research. Herein, the defective graphene with two-dimensional planar structure (2D-ps) and three-dimensional continuous network (3D-cn) morphologies were dexterously designed with 2D mixing and 3D filled systems of polymeric matrix. A comparison between the topologies of defective graphene-based nanofillers and the microwave attenuation behaviors was examined. Defective graphene with 3D-cn morphology can achieve ultralow filling content and broadband absorption, which is attributed to the presence of numerous pore structures that promote impedance matching, induce continuous conduction loss and provide multiple reflection and scattering sites for electromagnetic wave attenuation. Comparatively, by virtue of the increased filling content of 2D-ps, the dielectric losses primarily originate from the dielectric genes, including aggregation-induced-charge transport, abundant defect and dipole polarization, resulting in good microwave absorption at low thickness and low frequency. Therefore, this work provides a pioneering insight into morphology engineering of defective graphene microwave absorbers, and it will guide future exploration of customizing high-performance microwave absorption materials based on graphene-based low-dimensional building blocks.

Abstract
As a response to stealth technology and electromagnetic pollution, microwave absorbing materials have attracted the attention of many research scholars. However, achieving effective absorption with a low filling level is still a challenge in the harsh environment. Here, an emerging carbon-carbon composite fiber with a core-sheath structure is cleverly tailored for high-performance microwave absorber by tuning the dielectric loss. Reasonable engineering heterogeneous interfaces and conductive paths give rise to a synergistic effect of the impedance matching, conductive loss, polarization loss and multiple scattering. The obtained CR-800 achieves the maximum reflection loss of -51.91 dB, effective absorbing bandwidth of 4.82 GHz, and radar cross section (RCS) reduction value of 41.5 dBm2. Furthermore, the composites own superior environmental adaptation with stable absorbing properties in the harsh environment benefited from great environmental resistance of carbon materials. Given this, the core-sheath carbon-carbon composite fibers are expected to be a candidate for radar stealth technology and electromagnetic pollution.

Abstract
This study innovated the concept in designing an efficient and reusable microwave (MW) absorbent through concurrent exploitation of carbon graphitization, oxygen functionalization, and carbothermal iron reduction underpinned by an endothermic co-pyrolysis of wood waste and low-dosage iron. A powerful MW assimilation was accomplished from nanoscale amorphous magnetic particles as well as graphitized microporous carbon-iron skeleton in the biochar composites. Relative to a weak magnetic loss derived from the iron phase, the graphitic carbon architecture with abundant surface functionalities (i.e., CO and CO) exhibited a strong dielectric loss, which was thus prioritized as major active sites during MW reuse. The MW-absorbing biochar demonstrated a fast, robust, and durable removal of a refractory herbicide (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) under mild MW irradiation with zero chemical input, low electricity consumption, and negligible Fe dissolution. Overall, this study will foster carbon-neutral industrial wastewater treatment and wood waste valorization.

Abstract
Developing ultrabroad radar-infrared compatible stealth materials has turned into a research hotspot, which is still a problem to be solved. Herein, the copper sulfide wrapped by reduced graphene oxide to obtain three-dimensional (3D) porous network composite aerogels (CuS@rGO) were synthesized via thermal reduction ways (hydrothermal, ascorbic acid reduction) and freeze-drying strategy. It was discovered that the phase components (rGO and CuS phases) and micro/nano structure (microporous and nanosheet) were well-modified by modulating the additive amounts of CuS and changing the reduction ways, which resulted in the variation of the pore structure, defects, complex permittivity, microwave absorption, radar cross section (RCS) reduction value and infrared (IR) emissivity. Notably, the obtained CuS@rGO aerogels with a single dielectric loss type can achieve an ultrabroad bandwidth of 8.44 GHz at 2.8 mm with the low filler content of 6 wt% by a hydrothermal method. Besides, the composite aerogel via the ascorbic acid reduction realizes the minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of - 60.3 dB with the lower filler content of 2 wt%. The RCS reduction value can reach 53.3 dB m2, which effectively reduces the probability of the target being detected by the radar detector. Furthermore, the laminated porous architecture and multicomponent endowed composite aerogels with thermal insulation and IR stealth versatility. Thus, this work offers a facile method to design and develop porous rGO-based composite aerogel absorbers with radar-IR compatible stealth.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to develop materials that can absorb microwave to meet the requirements of stealth technology and solve the problem of electromagnetic pollution. However, the challenge is having materials with high-efficient absorption properties at an ultralow filling rate and visualizing the microwave response. The strategy used in this work was to integrate point defect and microstructure in preparing materials, nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide@ carbon nanofibers with high-efficient microwave absorption and double-layered structure. Ethylenediamine (nitrogen source), was doped into the materials, resulting in the generation of the defects. The microwave absorption performance of the materials was affected by the degree of defects due to the dipole polarization loss and conductive loss. The optimal samples gained the maximum reflection loss of -54.7 dB and effective absorption bandwidth of 4.74 GHz at a filling rate of only 8 wt%. More significantly, the microwave absorbing mechanism was analyzed visually in the response field. Furthermore, the actual stealth effects were evaluated by the radar cross section reduction, and the value was 29.2 dBm2. The experimental results illustrated that nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide@ carbon nanofibers may be alternative materials with high microwave absorption performance at a low filling rate.

Abstract
Nowadays, constructing strong absorption materials addressing the low-frequency electromagnetic radiation (S and C bands) from electronic devices remains a significant challenge. In this work, size-tunable Co/CoO nanoparticles (NPs) are fabricated by decomposing zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) precursors and subsequent hydrogen reduction. All samples show obvious low-frequency attenuation in the S and C bands. At a thin thickness of 2.3 mm, the minimum reflection loss (RL) value for the Co/CoO NPs of 30 nm reaches up to -90.3 dB at 4.4 GHz, and the corresponding effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of RL ≤ -10 dB ranges from 3.8 to 5.4 GHz. Notably, 90 % of the electromagnetic waves can be absorbed in the frequency range of 2.3-13.2 GHz, covering almost the entire S, C, and X bands at a thickness of 1.0-4.0 mm. The strong low-frequency absorption performance is attributed to the nano-porous structure, high conduction loss, tunable dielectric/magnetic loss, as well as optimized impedance matching. These Co/CoO NPs are promising candidates for high-efficient microwave absorbers in the low-frequency application.

Abstract
Heterointerface design is an effective strategy to improve the effective absorption bandwidth in electromagnetic wave EMW absorbing materials. In this paper, honeycomb-like Fe-doped tremella carbide composites (FCT) with a large number of heterogeneous interfaces were obtained by in-situ construction of multiphase composite particles (Fe3C, Fe3O4, and a-Fe) during the carbonization process. The effects of Fe doping on the phase, structure, morphology, and absorption properties of FCT were investigated. The results show that the porous structure and the heterogeneous interface can significantly improve the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of FCT. Iron doping introduces a heterogeneous multiphase structure into FCT, which increases the interfacial loss and magnetic loss of the material, thereby improving the overall impedance matching of the material. FCT-4 composite exhibited excellent microwave attenuation capability with a reflection loss of -34.6 dB. Simultaneously, the widest effective absorption bandwidth is up to 8.84 GHz (9.16-18 GHz) with a matching thickness of 2.8 mm, which covers almost the entire X (8-12 GHz) and Ku (12-18 GHz) bands. Thus, this paper provides an effective strategy for the preparation of excellent electromagnetic wave absorbing materials by in situ construction of heterointerfaces.

Abstract
The construction of yolk-shell composites with dielectric/magnetic multiple loss mechanisms has become a promising strategy to obtain high-efficiency microwave absorbing materials. An ideal microwave absorber should possess dielectric and magnetic loss abilities, thereby leading to the attenuation and absorption of incident electromagnetic radiation. Herein, the yolk-shell structured CoFe2O4@carbon (YS-CoFe2O4@C) and Co3Fe7/FeO@carbon (YS-Co3Fe7/FeO@C) composites were designed and synthesized through a series of processes, which include in-situ coating, heat-treating, etching and subsequent carbonization reduction reaction. The composite materials with specific structure, composition, and electromagnetic parameters could be effectively obtained by controlling the reaction conditions. The combination of alloy with high magnetic loss and carbon with advanced dielectric loss as well as the unique yolk-shell structure endow YS-Co3Fe7/FeO@C improved impendence matching and large attenuation constant. The YS-Co3Fe7/FeO@C composites show optimized microwave absorption behaviors, the minimum reflection loss is up to -57.6 dB at 12.30 GHz with the of 2.5 mm and the corresponding effective absorption bandwidth is 5.27 GHz (10.10-15.37 GHz). Moreover, the widest effective bandwidth could reach 7.0 GHz (11-18 GHz) with the thickness of 2.3 m. This design provides a novel concept for tuning microwave absorption efficiency of magnetic/dielectric composites to prepare high-performance microwave absorbers.

Abstract
Manufacturing dielectric/magnetic composites with hierarchical structure is regard as a promising strategy for the progress of high-performance microwave absorption (MA) materials. In this paper, the nano-grass structured CoNiO2 magnetic shell was uniformly anchored on the yeast-derived carbon microspheres by in-situ one-pot synthesis method. Profiting from the unique nano-grass and core-shell structure, capable dielectric/magnetic loss, along with improved impedance matching, the prepared absorber realizes desirable MA performance. The minimum reflection loss (RLmin) reaches up to -44.06 dB at 6.56 GHz. Moreover, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB, reflection loss (RL) < -10 dB) accomplishes 7.04 GHz under a low filler loading of 20 wt%.

Abstract
Electromagnetic pollution has become an increasingly important problem which has drawbacks to both the accurate operation of the electronic facilities and the safety of human beings. To alleviate and eliminate electromagnetic irradiation, it is inevitable to design microwave absorption materials with desirable absorption intensity and broad effective frequency bandwidth. The combination of carbon-based materials and magnetic materials is an adoptable strategy to perform remarkable microwave absorption performance, while the microstructure should not be ignored. Inspired by the electromagnetic response behaviors of the microstructure from the leafhopper, the hetero-microstructure with hollow void is constructed by adopting bimetal ZIF as the precursor, followed by an interfacial tailoring strategy through electrostatic assembling and calcinating process, which enhances the microwave absorption performance by integrating the merits between the components and the micro-structure. The minimum value of reflection loss achieved -76.40 dB at 7.50 GHz under filler loading of 20% with the thickness of 2.92 mm. Besides, the effective absorption bandwidth could be tailored from 3.55 to 18 GHz among different thicknesses as required. The bio-inspired strategy is validated as a promising method, exhibiting great potential in the designing of the next-generation microwave absorber.

Abstract
Interfacial polarization and geometrical morphology play a significant role in the attenuation of electromagnetic (EM) wave. Herein, the two-dimensional (2D)/2D heterojunction with flower-like geometrical morphology is proposed and produced, which may simultaneously provide a large contact area for achieving strong interfacial polarization and activates more sites for the possible multiple EM wave reflection and scattering. By adopting a simple two-step hydrothermal method, MoSe2/MoS2and MoS2/MoSe2 inner and outer-interchangeable heterojunctions consisting of 2D MoSe2 and MoS2 nanosheets with flower-like geometrical morphology were successfully synthesized. The results revealed that the hydrothermal temperatures significantly impacted the flower-like geometrical morphology and MoS2 content. By optimizing the microstructures, the designed MoSe2/MoS2 and MoS2/MoSe2 heterojunctions presented enhanced comprehensive EM wave absorption properties (EMWAPs), possessing strong absorption capability, wide absorption bandwidth and thin matching thicknesses. Generally, this work demonstrates that the optimized EMWAPs of designed heterojunctions mainly originate from the special interfaces and morphology configuration, which also paves a new way for the designing and synthesis of transition metal dichalcogenides-based heterojunction as a novel and desirable candidate for high-performance microwave absorbers.
