description Graphene aerogels (GAs) possess a remarkable capability to absorb electromagnetic waves (EMWs) due to their favorable dielectric characteristics and unique porous structure. Nevertheless, the introduction of nitrogen atoms into graphene aerogels can result in improved impedance matching. In recent years, nitrogen-doped graphene aerogels (NGAs) have emerged as promising materials, particularly when combined with magnetic metals, magnetic oxides, carbon nanotubes, and polymers, forming innovative composite systems with excellent multi-functional and broadband absorption properties. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of the synthesis methods and the EMW absorption mechanism of NGAs, along with an overview of the absorption properties of nitrogen-doped graphene-based aerogels. Furthermore, this study sheds light on the potential challenges that NGAs may encounter. By highlighting the substantial contribution of NGAs in the field of EMW absorption, this study aims to facilitate the innovative development of NGAs toward achieving broadband absorption, lightweight characteristics, and multifunctionality.
