Abstract Porous ceramic materials exhibit broad multifunctional application prospects. However, the inherent conflict between their structural stability and functional properties, particularly under liquid‐phase sintering conditions, presents a significant challenge. Here, a combustion‐driven rapid synthesis strategy is introduced that overcomes this limitation, fabricating porous Si 3 N 4 /SiC ceramics with exceptional multifunctionality. Leveraging the Si─N─C reaction system, this approach simultaneously achieves a hierarchical pore structure, submicron grain morphology, and a uniform nanoscale graphitic carbon coating, establishing a multiscale architecture. This synergistic microstructure optimization yields low shrinkage (3.4% at 79% porosity), remarkable strength–toughness coupling (62.4 MPa and 4.8 MPa·m 1/2 at 69.3% porosity), outstanding thermal stability (>1200 °C in air), and superior electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption (RL min = −70.97 dB). The facile, energy‐efficient (<0.3 h/batch, <$0.7/L) and low‐carbon synthesis route provides a transformative pathway for designing high‐performance multifunctional porous ceramics.
