Abstract
Abstract The electron migration polarization is considered as a promising approach to optimize electromagnetic waves (EMW) dissipation. However, it is still difficult to realize well‐controlled electron migration and elucidate the related EMW loss mechanisms for current researches. Herein, a novel Fe x N@NGC/Ce system to construct an effective electron migration model based on the electron leaps among the 4 f /5 d /6 s orbitals of Ce ions is explored. In Fe 4 N@NGC/Ce SA+Cs+NPs , Ce single‐atoms (SA) mainly represent a +3 valence state, which can feed the electrons to Ce 4+ of clusters (Cs) and CeO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) through a conductive network under EMW, leading to the electron migration polarization. Such electron migration loss combined with excellent magnetic loss provided by Fe 4 N core, results in the optimal EMW attenuation performance with a minimum reflection loss exceeds −85.1 dB and a broadened absorption bandwidth up to 7.5 GHz at 1.5 mm. This study clarifies the in‐depth relationship between electron migration polarization and EMW dissipation, providing profound insights into developing well‐coordinated magnetic–dielectric nanocomposites for EMW absorption engineering.
