摘要

The rational design of anisotropic structures in microwave absorbers (MAs) remains challenging for achieving customized electromagnetic (EM) properties. Here, we report a novel biomass-derived carbon material with intrinsic coaxial cable-like architecture, derived from Juncus effusus, to address this challenge. Through controlled axial or radial alignment of carbonized Juncus effusus segments in a paraffin matrix, we demonstrate programmable regulation of dielectric constants and EM energy dissipation pathways. The radially oriented samples exhibit superior reflection loss (− 51.3 dB at 2.7 mm), while axial alignment achieves an ultra-wide effective absorption bandwidth (6.3 GHz at 4.0 mm). Finite element simulations reveal that radial orientation enhances interfacial polarization and current density (2.04 × 104 A/m2), whereas axial alignment promotes multi-reflection loss through longitudinal pore channels. Notably, a non-uniform distribution of carbon pieces induces localized EM resonance, generating step-like dielectric responses and additional loss channels. This work not only provides a structure-oriented design strategy for biomass-derived MAs but also establishes a universal principle for the utilization of natural anisotropic architectures in advanced EM functional materials.
