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: Microwave absorption materials, metal-organic frameworks, mechanisms of microwave, preparation
methods

INTRODUCTION
The rapid advancement of technology has introduced microwave pollution, which can harm the human
nervous system [1-10] . Consequently, the development of advanced microwave absorbing materials (MAMs)
