Provided is a sound-absorbing material, including a metal-organic framework material having a microporous structure. The metal-organic framework material includes a coordinated metal M and organic framework materials (OFs) coordinated with the coordinated metal. The microporous structure includes a plurality of uniformly distributed micropores, and a diameter of each of the plurality of micropores is within a range of 0.3 nm to 1.2 nm. The sound absorbing material including the metal-organic framework material can be added into a speaker to increase the acoustic compliance of air in a rear cavity of the speaker, thereby improving the performance of the speaker in a low frequency range.
