Abstract
The widespread application of electromagnetic (EM) wave technology in fields such as communication, medicine, and national defense has introduced new challenges related to radiation pollution. Developing efficient EM wave absorption materials has become a critical technological frontier for ensuring human health, safety, and sustainable industrial development. High-entropy (HE) materials, due to their diverse chemical composition and excellent compositional regulation ability, exhibit abundant response mechanisms and adjustable loss characteristics, indicating that they will become a transformative force in the field of EM function. Therefore, we summarize the multi-scale integrated assembly design strategy of HE-based EM wave absorption materials, and comprehensively review the latest research progress of HE EM wave absorbing materials, including high entropy ceramics (HEC), high entropy alloys (HEA), and HE composites. Finally, the core challenges in developing HE-based EM functional materials are explored and potential research opportunities are revealed. We hope this review will inspire further scientific exploration, advance innovations and applications of HE materials in the field of EM wave absorption, promote human safety and health, and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development.
