Abstract

With the rapid development of information and communication industries, the usage of electromagnetic waves has caused the hazard of human health and misfunction of devices. The adsorption and shielding of electromagnetic waves have been achieved in various materials. The unique adjustable spatial structure makes metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) promising for electromagnetic shielding and adsorbing. As MOFs research advances, various large-scale MOF-based materials have been developed. For instance, MOFs spatial structure has been expanded from 2D to 3D to load more ligands. Progress in synthetic methods for MOFs and their derivatives is advancing, with priority on large-scale preparation and green synthesis. This review summarizes the methods for synthesizing MOFs and their derivatives, and explores the effects of MOFs spatial structure on electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and electromagnetic wave absorption capabilities. At the same time, detailed examples are used to focus on the applications of five different MOFs composites in electromagnetic shielding and electromagnetic wave absorption. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of MOFs in the electromagnetic field are introduced, providing a useful reference for the preparation and design of MOFs and their composites for electromagnetic wave processing applications.
