Abstract: Traditional porous materials such as foams and aerogels exhibit excellent thermal insulation performance, yet they suffer from single function and high flammability, which severely restricts their practical applications. Focusing on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a cutting-edge Nobel Prize-winning material, Pan’s group has systematically engineered the microstructure of porous materials via bottom-up construction and top-down post-synthetic modification. This strategy endows porous materials with versatile functionalities including electromagnetic wave absorption, infrared stealth, and sound absorption, while effectively improving their fire safety. This report summarises our recent research on MOF-based multifunctional porous materials with enhanced fire safety, aiming to provide new insights for the development of next-generation high-performance and safe porous materials.
