Highlights Hollow SiC/C microspheres with controllable composition have been successfully synthesized by simultaneously implementing compositional and structural engineering. The optimum dielectric properties (i.e., conductivity loss and polarization loss) and impedance matching characteristics can achieve outstanding microwave absorption performance. Broadband wave absorption (5.1 GHz with only 1.8 mm thickness), high efficiency loss (− 60.8 dB at 10.4 GHz) combined with good environmental tolerance, demonstrate their bright prospects in practice.
