The design of novel hybrid nanostructures has been seen as an effective route to tune the properties of materials. Herein, we provide an in situ growth strategy to efficiently construct kebab-like hybrids, which are composed of one-dimensional SiC nanowires stringing polyhedral metal organic frameworks (MOFs). Through a heat-treatment process regardless of under air or argon, these hybrids generate an excellent electromagnetic absorption (EMA) ability. We comprehensively explored the growth and calcination process of these hybrids as well as their EMA enhanced mechanism. The results indicate that the MOFs kept as shrunken polyhedrons under air but decomposed to small particles under argon, due to the different calcination mechanism. In addition, the enhanced EMA ability should be attributed to the combined influences of the reduced dielectric constant, enlarged aspect ratio, and enhanced interface polarization. This research opens up the rational designs and applications of novel materials by the hybridizing of nanomaterials in multidimensions.
