Development of microwave absorbing materials with tunable thickness and bandwidth is particularly important for practical applications, but its realization remains a great challenge. Here, we report carbon coated core-shell FeSiCr/Fe3C embedded in two-dimensional carbon nanosheets network (FeSiCr/Fe3C@C/C) nanocomposites fabricated by plasma arc-discharging method. FeSiCr/Fe3C@C/C has the best microwave absorption properties in which the minimum calculated reflection loss (RL) can reach [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB at 11.5[Formula: see text]GHz with a coating thickness of 2.4[Formula: see text]mm and the efficient absorption bandwidth (RL[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dB) almost covers 4.5–18[Formula: see text]GHz range by adjusting the coating thicknesses from 1.3 to 5.0[Formula: see text]mm. The improved microwave absorption properties could be ascribed to the optimized impedance matching and enhanced polarization loss, conduction loss and internal reflections of the propagated microwave.

To reduce the imbalance of impedance matching between the magnetic metal nanowires and free space, Fe/TiO2 core/shell nanowire arrays with different diameters were fabricated in the templates of anodic aluminum oxide membranes by electrodeposition. The influences of the microstructure on the microwave absorption properties of the Fe/TiO2/Al2O3 composites were studied by the transmission/reflection waveguide method. It was demonstrated experimentally that both the interfacial polarization and the diameter of the Fe/TiO2 core/shell nanowires have critical effects on the microwave absorption properties. We also investigated the angle dependence of the microwave absorption properties. Due to the interfacial polarization and associated relaxation, the Fe/TiO2/Al2O3 composites exhibited optimal microwave absorption properties when microwave propagation direction was accordant with the axis of the nanowires. Finally, we managed to obtain an optimal reflection loss of below [Formula: see text]10[Formula: see text]dB (90% absorption) over 10.2–14.8[Formula: see text]GHz, with a thickness of 3.0[Formula: see text]mm and the minimum value of [Formula: see text]39.4[Formula: see text]dB at 11.7[Formula: see text]GHz.

Hollow magnetic structures have great potential to be used in the microwave absorbing field. Herein, Fe3O4 hollow spheres with different levels of hollowness were synthesized by the hydrothermal method under Ostwald ripening effect. In addition to their microstructures, the microwave absorption properties of such spheres were investigated. The results show that the grain size and hollowness of Fe3O4 hollow spheres both increase as the reaction time increases. With increasing hollowness, the attenuation ability of electromagnetic wave of Fe3O4 spheres increases first and then decreases, finally increases sharply after the spheres break down. Samples with strong attenuation ability can achieve good impedance matching, which it does preferentially as the absorber thickness increases. Fe3O4 hollow spheres show the best microwave absorption performance when the reaction time is 24 h. The minimum reflection loss (RL (min)) can reach −40 dB, while the thickness is only 3.2 mm.

Microporous Co/CoO/C nanoparticles prepared by combining chemical dealloying and chemical vapor deposition methods exhibited high microwave absorption properties due to the synergistic effects of the carbon coating and the micropore structure on the impedance matching of the absorber.
