Abstract: With the rapid development of electronic communication equipment, electromagnetic pollution becomes more and more serious. Metal organic framework(MOF)-derived material is a new kind of electromagnetic wave absorbing material, it has a simple synthetic process, low production cost, good thermal stability, big specific surface area and high porosity, and the derivative porous carbon/metal magnetic particle composite materials overcome uneven dispersion of the magnetic particles, so the derivative is wide concerned in the field of electromagnetic wave absorbing. Here is in detail introduced the advantages and absorbing mechanism of MOF derivative materials as absorbing materials, summarized the research progress of MOF derivative absorbing materials in recent years, and also prospected their future development.
