In summary, the booming development of c-MOFs brings opportunities for the development of new electromagnetic functional materials and devices, and the design and customisation of MOF structural units, overall topology modulation, and the construction of three-dimensional structures based on the understanding of electromagnetic properties and energy conversion provide new insights for further investigation of the electromagnetic wave absorption mechanism and enhancement of dielectric properties. However, conductive MOFs also face challenges such as few available types, poor impedance matching, and narrow absorption bandwidth. Furthermore, in practical potential applications, conductive MOF can also be made into MOF films for stealth coatings for military equipment and electromagnetic wave protection for civilian use.
