Abstract Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials have received great interests in recent years. The EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of materials not only depends on their composition, but also is influenced by their microstructures. Among various microstructure prototypes, porous structure has special advantage of low density and high electromagnetic wave reflections ability. Herein, a MAX@CW composite (Ti2AlC@CW, V2AlC@CW, Cr2AlC@CW) with porous structure is fabricated through a molten salt method by using carbonized wood (CW) as template. The MAX@CW forms conductive network constructions and rich interface that can further improve the EMI shielding effectiveness. The average EMI shielding effectiveness of the three kinds of MAX@CW with the thickness of 1 mm are higher than 45 dB in the frequency range of 0.6 ~ 1.6 THz. Among them, V2AlC@CW show the best EMI shielding effectiveness with the average value of 55 dB.

AbstractElectromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials have received considerable attention in recent years. The EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of materials depends on not only their composition but also their microstructures. Among various microstructure prototypes, porous structures provide the advantages of low density and high terahertz wave absorption. In this study, by using carbonised wood (CW) as a template, 1-mm-thick MAX@CW composites (Ti2AlC@CW, V2AlC@CW, and Cr2AlC@CW) with a porous structure were fabricated through the molten salt method. The MAX@CW composites led to the formation of a conductive network and multilayer interface, which resulted in improved EMI SE. The average EMI SE values of the three MAX@CW composites were > 45 dB in the frequency of 0.6–1.6 THz. Among the composites, V2AlC@CW exhibited the highest average EMI SE of 55 dB.

AbstractLightweight, flexibility, and low thickness are urgent requirements for next-generation high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials for catering to the demand for smart and wearable electronic devices. Although several efforts have focused on constructing porous and flexible conductive films or aerogels, few studies have achieved a balance in terms of density, thickness, flexibility, and EMI shielding effectiveness (SE). Herein, an ultrathin, lightweight, and flexible carbon nanotube (CNT) buckypaper enhanced using MXenes (Ti3C2Tx) for high-performance EMI shielding is synthesized through a facile electrophoretic deposition process. The obtained Ti3C2Tx@CNT hybrid buckypaper exhibits an outstanding EMI SE of 60.5 dB in the X-band at 100 μm. The hybrid buckypaper with an MXene content of 49.4 wt% exhibits an EMI SE of 50.4 dB in the X-band with a thickness of only 15 μm, which is 105% higher than that of pristine CNT buckypaper. Furthermore, an average specific SE value of 5.7 × 104 dB cm2 g−1 is exhibited in the 5-μm hybrid buckypaper. Thus, this assembly process proves promising for the construction of ultrathin, flexible, and high-performance EMI shielding films for application in electronic devices and wireless communications.

Abstract Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks are promising transparent conducting materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and diverse optoelectronic devices. However, the poor contact between adjacent AgNWs leads to low electrical conductivity and weak mechanical stability of AgNW networks, which are limiting the practical application of these electronics. Here we report an efficient strategy to improve the overall performance of AgNW networks, in which the AgNW networks are sandwiched between two layers of graphene films. The graphene films improve the contact of overlapped AgNWs and bridge the discrete AgNWs, and thus increase the conductivity of graphene/AgNWs/graphene (GAG) films. Microwave permittivity measurements together with mechanism analyses reveal that the graphene films can enhance the EMI shielding effectiveness of AgNW networks through offering extra conduction loss, multiple dielectric polarization centers and multi-reflection processes. As a result, the GAG film with an average transmittance of 88% exhibits a sheet resistance lower than 15 Ω sq− 1 and an EMI shielding effectiveness of 31 dB (in the frequency range of 8.2‒12.4 GHz) after repeated stretching and release at a strain of 40%. Such a total performance is superior to that of most of as-reported transparent conductors. The GAG films therefore show application potential in the age of Internet of Things that electromagnetic radiation pollutions are everywhere.

Polymer nano composites based on poly vinyl chloride matrix were fabricated using polyaniline (PANI) and graphene nano platelets (GNP) as electrically conductive nano filler for the application of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. DC conductivity was first evaluated by using cyclic voltammetry and found an increasing trend of electrical conductivity as PANI and GNP was added in PVC matrix that confirms the formation of electrically conductive network structure. Dielectric properties like dielectric constant, dielectric loss and AC conductivity were evaluated in frequency range of 100 Hz to 3 MHz that gives basic prediction for EMI shielding effectiveness. Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) was used to assess EMI shielding properties using coaxial cable method in 11GHz to 20GHz range and it was found that a maximum of 29 dB shielding was archived with the incorporation of 15 wt% of PANI in PVC. This value increased to 56 dB as 5 wt% GNP added in PVC/PANI 15 wt% blend. Interaction of matrix with filler, nature of filler and dispersion of filler in matrix are the key parameters for achieving high shielding effectiveness.

Abstract Lightweight materials with high electrical conductivity and hydrophobic mechanical properties are ideal materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Herein, the conductive composites with great EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) were successfully obtained by introducing multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based on the original structure of natural wood (NW). CNT@PDMS/NW composites were prepared via vacuum-pulse impregnation method and characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, hydrophobicity analysis, and EMI shielding performance. As demonstrated, CNT nanosheets were successfully inserted into wood matrices, and hydrogen bonding between CNT nanosheets and cellulose nanofibers induced the fabrication of CNT@PDMS/NW composites. CNT@PDMS/NW composites exhibited excellent EMI SE values of 25.2 dB at the X-band frequency.

Abstract Electromagnetic pollution seriously affects the human reproductive system, cardiovascular system, people’s visual system, and so on. A novel versatile stretchable and biocompatible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding film has been developed, which could effectively attenuate electromagnetic radiation. The EMI shielding film was fabricated with a convenient solution casting and steam annealing with 2D MXene, iron oxide nanoparticles, and soluble polyurethane. The EMI shielding effectiveness is about 30.63 dB at 8.2 GHz, based on its discretized interfacial scattering and high energy conversion efficiency. Meanwhile, the excellent tensile elongation is 30.5%, because of the sliding migration and gradient structure of the nanomaterials doped in a polymer matrix. In addition, the film also demonstrated wonderful biocompatibility and did not cause erythema and discomfort even after being attached to the arm skin over 12 hours, which shows the great potential for attenuation of electromagnetic irradiation and protection of human health.
