“…The development of electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbents has become a recent focus in solving EM pollution arising from the fast-growing electronic device industry. − The absorption properties of absorbents are determined by their permittivity (ε r = ε′ – j ε″), permeability (μ r = μ′ – j μ″), and matching, all of which depend on absorbent shape, composition, interface, and dimension. , Lately, many researchers have proved that the absorbents with single composition and structure were unable to meet the high remand for absorbing coatings of thin thickness, lightweight, broad bandwidth, and strong absorption. , Herein, we design and prepare elliptical Fe 3 O 4 /C nanorings (NRs) to improve absorption properties for several reasons. First, numerous studies demonstrate that NRs show enhanced absorption and multiresonant behaviors in the visible-to-near-infrared (NIR) regions, , as well as enhanced dielectric and absorption in microwave ranges. , The potential of ring-like nanostructures as microwave absorbents at 2–18 GHz, which has motivated our intense research interest, is unknown.…”
