Summary: This study focuses on the preparation and microwave characterization of composites of M-type hexagonal ferrite with paraffin wax. The influence of Sr2+ ion content on material parameters, including grain morphology, dielectric, magnetic, conductivity, and reflection loss properties, was analyzed. The results indicate that higher Sr2+ ion content leads to lower dielectric and magnetic loss tangent, as well as increased AC conductivity with frequency.

Summary: This study constructs a unique three-dimensional silicon carbonitride (SiCN) nanoceramic-coated graphene aerogel structure to optimize microwave absorption performance at low frequencies by improving the interface and impedance matching. The aerogel achieves a minimum reflection loss of -57.9 dB at an ultralow frequency of 4.92 GHz (C-band) and a broad bandwidth of 5.0 GHz at an ultralow thickness of 1.7 mm. This research provides a method for enhancing dielectric polarization loss in graphene aerogels by optimizing interfacial polarization and impedance matching, inspiring the design of high-performance graphene-based materials for low-frequency microwave absorption.
