Abstract: Disclosed are a core-shell structure type wave absorbing material and a preparation method therefor. The wave absorbing material has a core-shell structure with two-dimensional transition metal-chalcogen compound nanosheets as cores and hollow carbon spheres as shells. The preparation method includes: dissolving the hollow carbon spheres in a solvent, sequentially adding a transition metal source and a chalcogen source, taking a solvothermal reaction after dissolution through stirring, and then performing posttreatment to obtain the wave absorbing material. The present invention further discloses an application of the wave absorbing material in fields of military and civilian high-frequency electromagnetic compatibility and protection. The core-shell structure type wave absorbing material of the present invention has a density of 0.3 to 1.
