Abstract: Exploring efficient microwave absorbing materials (MAMs) has gradually become a hot topic in recent years because it is crucial in both civil and military fields. Metal-organic framework (MOF) has great potential due to its unique composition and bonding mode, which has advantages such as large specific surface area, high porosity, adjustable structure, and designable composition. Herein, MOF-derived MAMs are highlighted based on morphology and structure. The synthesis strategies of MOF-derived MAMs of different dimensions are discussed. On this basis, the structure-activity relationships can be deeply explored through the precise control of material structure and property by atomic engineering. Finally, perspectives are given for the existing problems of MOF-derived MAMs, which will open a new horizon and promote the development of MAMs.
