In the process of microwave heating, the accuracy of temperature will directly affect the chemical reaction rate and the performance of the prepared samples, so the accurate measurement of temperature in the microwave field is of great significance. The traditional temperature measurement methods in microwave field are reviewed, including the limitations of thermocouple, optical fiber and infrared in the application of microwave field. In view of the limitations of traditional methods, a new type of temperature measurement method: metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) thermometry. It not only has a high degree of adjustability, but also nanoscale MOFs particles can achieve temperature measurement at the micron or submicron level, which has attracted extensive attention. Analyzing the research results of dual emission MOFs thermometry and membrane thermometry in recent years, and reviewing the methods of optimizing MOFs thermometers, the future development of microwave temperature measurement technology was discussed.
