Abstract
ABSTRACT

Ferrite–carbon composites effectively absorb electromagnetic (EM) waves via coupled mechanisms. However, the dynamic evolution of intrinsic polarization and magnetic loss mechanisms following interfacial coupling has long been overlooked, impeding broadening of the ultra‐broadband EM wave absorption performance in heterostructures. Herein, via surface ligand modulation, in situ growth of 0D Fe

QDs, short‐range magnetic resonance and magnetic exchange–triggered magnetic resonance transfer synergistically enhance the magnetic loss. Through charge rearrangement/magnetic resonance induced by 0D/1D grain boundary coupling, an effective bandwidth of nearly 10 GHz is achieved at a minimal thickness of 2 mm, covering the X and Ku bands. This strategy provides an effective paradigm and novel theoretical insights for ultra‐broadband electromagnetic wave absorption applications.
