description A MoS<sub>2</sub> and graphene stacked structure is proposed as metamaterials for a triple-band terahertz absorber in this work. The complementary frequency-selective surface of the absorber, consisting of two crossed linear slots and four pairs of concentric circular slots, has three absorptions at 0.6 THz (99.7%), 1.5 THz (95.4%), and 2.5 THz (99.5%). The polarization of the THz absorber is less sensitive to the incident angle within a certain range. By controlling the material properties of MoS<sub>2</sub> and graphene, the peak absorption frequency can be tuned within a certain range. The stacked structure of different 2D materials provides new ideas for the design of the THz absorber, which is important for THz in detection, communication, and imaging applications.
