To address these issues, this study proposes the construction of a sulfur/nitrogen (S/N) co-doped MXene nanoribbon/nanosheet composite structure. An alkali-assisted chemical scissor strategy was used to successfully prepare a nanoribbon/nanosheet hybrid, which effectively suppressed nanosheet stacking and significantly increased active interfaces and defect sites. By controlling the doping temperature, precise regulation of the doping configurations of S and N elements in MXene is achieved, including lattice substitution (LS), functional group substitution (FS) and surface absorption (SA). With increasing doping temperature, the configuration of S/N dopants evolves from a combination of FS-type N and LS-type S to a coexistence of SA- and LS-type species. The former synergistically enhances conductive loss and polarization loss, while the latter suppresses electron transport and consequently reduces the complex permittivity of the material. The optimized composite exhibits considerably improved comprehensive electromagnetic wave-absorption performance at a low filler loading (10 wt%) and a thin thickness (1.26 mm), achieving a minimum reflection loss (RL<sub>min</sub>) of -53.77 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.51 GHz.
