Rational structure design of microwave absorption material (MAM) is of fundamental significance in terms of enhancing the electromagnetic microwave absorption performance and deeply understanding the specific correlation between the material structure and its electromagnetic microwave absorption (EMA) performance. Here, bowl-like carbon nanoparticles (BLCNs) as novel MAM have been successfully fabricated via calcination of bowl-like polydopamine. Interestingly, BLCNs have exhibited dramatically waves 50 enhanced EMA performance with a minimum reflection loss of -45.3 dB and an effective bandwidth of below -10 dB in the wide range of 4.2 GHz, implying the unique critical role of the microstructure in adjusting the EMA performance. Our work not only paves an attractive way for the design of advanced and lightweight MAM, but also provides valuable insights into the relationships between the material structure and its EMA performance.
