With the increasing problems of electromagnetic interference
and
electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic wave absorption (EMWA)
materials have received considerable attention in civil and military
fields. Among various EMWA materials, one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials
are recognized as a very promising candidate because of their unique
aspect ratio, special shape anisotropy, large specific surface area,
and simple manufacturing process. Herein, this paper presents a comprehensive
review of recent research progress of 1D nanomaterials for EMWA applications,
with a special focus on the advances in general preparation strategies
and microscopic structure construction. Furthermore, the current challenge
and future prospect of 1D electromagnetic absorbers are proposed,
which should provide some guidelines for the design of advanced EMWA
materials.
