In this study, mesoporous carbon hollow microspheres (PCHMs) with tunable textural properties have been prepared through a facile hard template etching method. The PCHMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectra, and nitrogen adsorption and desorption systems. Uniform PCHMs with shell thickness ranging from 23 nm to 55 nm are realized. PCHMs with different textural properties can regulate dielectric and electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption effectively. The composite of paraffin wax mixed with 10 wt% PCHMs (the shell thickness of PCHMs is 35 nm) exhibits a minimum coefficient value of -53.8 dB at 8.8 GHz, with a thickness of 3.4 mm. Besides, it is remarkable that the effective absorption bandwidth covers all the X band with as low as a 10 wt% filler ratio, compared with other spherical EM wave absorbers. The excellent EM wave absorption capability of PCHMs can be ascribed to the better impendence matching and strong EM wave attenuation constant based on tunable textural properties. Our results provide a facile strategy to tune dielectric properties of spherical carbon absorbers based on textural properties, and can be extended to other spherical absorbers.
