“…Three-dimensional (3D) micro-nanomaterials have attracted wide attention because of their unique morphologies, large specific surface area, well-defined interfaces, and abundant pores. − To date, various 3D micro-nanomaterials, including metallic foams, graphene foam, Bi 2 WO 6 /graphene hydrogel, nanocellulose aerogel foam, have been fabricated for applications in catalytic reactions, energy storage, and photoelectronic devices. − In particular, some 3D micro-nanomaterials such as graphene foam, α-MnO 2 , rGO/α-Fe 2 O 3 hydrogel, MoS 2 nanospheres, Ag@PPy sponge have been developed to attenuate electromagnetic wave (EMW) energy because the interfaces and pores in these 3D micro-nanomaterials could cause additional dielectric losses, which were difficult to be achieved by one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional materials. − In spite of these advances of the 3D micro-nanomaterials in the attenuation of the EMW energy, several drawbacks are still obvious, which limit their practical applications. First, after being mixed with the matrix, some 3D structural feature remained with difficulty because of unsatisfactory connection interfaces between different components, and thus, the contribution from the 3D interconnected structure to EMW energy attenuation was suppressed greatly.…”
