description Energy-selective surfaces (ESSs) have gained attention as an advanced electromagnetic protection technology. This review discusses the evolution of ESSs, focusing on four key areas: frequency bandwidth expansion, material innovations, functional enhancements, and application diversification. ESSs have evolved from narrowband designs to providing ultra-wideband protection, covering L-band to K-band frequencies. New designs, including non-reciprocal mechanisms and cascaded filters, enhance the shielding efficiency. Material advancements like the use of vanadium dioxide (VO<sub>2</sub>) and micro–nano fabrication techniques have reduced costs and improved performance, enabling higher-frequency applications. Future developments aim to overcome the current limitations, offering a broader bandwidth, higher power tolerance, and faster response times. ESSs play a key role in integrated electromagnetic protection systems.
