Abstract Highly effective electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber materials with strong reflection loss (RL) and a wide absorption bandwidth (EBW) in gigahertz (GHz) frequencies are crucial for advanced wireless applications portable electronics. Traditional microwave absorbers lack magnetic struggle impedance matching, while ferrites stable, exhibit excellent dielectric losses, offer better matching. However, achieving the desired EBW remains challenge, necessitating further composition design....
