Recent progress and perspective of microwave absorption materials derived from metal-organic frameworks

Abstract

Microwaves are currently used in many fields, including the military, medical, and communication. However, the ensuing electromagnetic radiation has seriously threatened human life. Therefore, the design of high-performance microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) has become an important development direction. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are regarded as a bright new star among MAMs with broad application prospects due to their advantages of tunable structure, large specific surface area, high porosity, etc. This paper reviews the research progress of MAMs derived from MOFs in recent years, including preparation methods, properties and microwave absorption mechanisms. Finally, the problems and research prospects of MOF-derived MAMs are discussed.

Keywords
