Cover Story: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are emerging as promising candidates in the development of multifunctional materials that combine electromagnetic microwave absorption (EMA) and flame retardancy. This review summarizes recent advances in MOF-based dual-functional composites, focusing on Fe-MOF, Co-MOF, Ni-MOF, and polymetallic MOF systems. These materials demonstrate exceptional EMA performance, with RL values reaching −75 dB and EAB values up to 7 GHz, while achieving UL-94 V-0 ratings and LOI values exceeding 30%. The challenges and future prospects of MOF-based dual-functional composites are also discussed, providing valuable insights for designing next-generation multifunctional materials to address electromagnetic pollution and fire safety concerns. View this paper
