Abstract
Increasing attention on microwave ultra-broadband metamaterial absorbers has been paid due to their promising applications. While most microwave ultra-broadband metamaterial absorbers developed so far are based on metallic resonant structures, dispersive dielectric water-based metamaterial opens a simpler and more versatile route for the construction of polarization- and angle- insensitive ultra-broadband absorption. Here, we review the recent progress of water-based metamaterial absorbers by providing an illustration of the mechanisms to realize ultra-broadband, tunable and multi-functional absorption. We also address the further development direction and some potential novel applications.
