The perovskite structure oxide, CaMnO 3 , has been extensively investigated and applied as a potential microwave absorption material due to its versatile dielectric and spontaneous polarization. However, the low conductivity of pure CaMnO 3 material limits its further application. Herein, to increase dielectric loss and achieve better microwave absorption properties, lanthanum (La)-doped CaMnO 3 (Ca 1-x La x MnO 3) ceramics were fabricated by a high temperature solid state reaction. The results of XRD and XPS show that the La atom was efficiently doped at the Ca site in CaMnO 3 , which carries excess positive charges and affects the valence state of Mn ions and the concentration of oxygen vacancies. Therefore, the conductivity and imaginary permittivity of Ca 1-x La x MnO 3 ceramics increased dramatically with La-doped content. Benefiting from the tunable dielectric and impedance properties, Ca 1-x La x MnO 3 ceramics can be utilized in a highly efficient way to absorb microwave radiation with a thin thickness. The sample with x = 0.04 shows the best microwave absorption property, with an RL min value of -52.63 dB (d = 1.41 mm) and effective absorption bandwidth coves full X band in the thickness range from 1.315 mm to 1.395 mm.
