“…By further studying different types of clothing and materials, the best practical user experience could be gained. Furthermore, by investigating different types of textiles, a BMA for smart e‐textiles was proposed, [ 559 ] it is found that the intelligent e‐textile fabrics over traditional wearable absorption devices exhibit a wider bandwidth, thereby wearable devices having more compact, thinner, and higher absorbent could be realized. In addition, the textile‐based 3D printed wearable absorption device having broadband, and high absorption in X‐band was also given, [ 560 ] which not only performs well in the civilian but also has great potential in the military.…”

Metamaterial absorbers have been widely studied and continuously concerned owing to their excellent resonance features of ultra-thin thickness, light-weight, and high absorbance. Their applications, however, are typically restricted by the intrinsic dispersion of materials and strong resonant features of patterned arrays (mainly referring to narrow absorption bandwidth). It is, therefore essential to reassert the principles of building broadband metamaterial absorbers (BMAs). Herein, the research progress of BMAs from principles, design strategies, tunable properties to functional applications are comprehensively and deeply summarized. Physical principles behind broadband absorption are briefly discussed, typical design strategies in realizing broadband absorption are further emphasized, such as top-down lithography, bottom-up self-assembly, and emerging 3D printing technology. Diversified active components choices, including optical response, temperature response, electrical response, magnetic response, mechanical response, and multi-parameter responses, are reviewed in achieving dynamically tuned broadband absorption. Following this, the achievements of various interdisciplinary applications for BMAs in energy-harvesting, photodetectors, radar-IR dual stealth, bolometers, noise absorbing, imaging, and fabric wearable are summarized. Finally, the challenges and perspectives for future development of BMAs are discussed.
