However, there is currently a lack of a comprehensive review that summarizes the findings on low frequency absorbers. This review article thoroughly examines the current research on carbon/magnetic composite materials with efficient absorption performance in the low-frequency S and C bands. It provides a detailed discussion of the microwave absorption performance of these composite materials. Furthermore, the composite design strategies, synthesis techniques, microstructure performance relationship, and microwave attenuation mechanisms are summarized.
