ResumoAbsorbents with "tree-like" structures, which were composed of hollow porous carbon fibers (HPCFs) acting as "trunk" structures, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as "branch" structures and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles playing the role of "fruit" structures were prepared by chemical vapor deposition technique and chemical reaction. Microwave reflection loss, permittivity and permeability of Fe3O4–CNTs–HPCFs composites were investigated in the frequency range of 2–18 GHz. It was proven that prepared absorbents possessed the excellent electromagnetic wave absorbing performances. The bandwidth with a reflection loss less than −15 dB covers a wide frequency range from 10.2 to 18 GHz with the thickness of 1.5–3.0 mm, and the minimum reflection loss is −50.9 dB at 14.03 GHz with a 2.5 mm thick sample layer. Microwave absorbing mechanism of the Fe3O4–CNTs–HPCFs composites is concluded as dielectric polarization and the synergetic interactions exist between Fe3O4 and CNTs–HPCFs.
