Abstract:
Lightweight materials with high electrical conductivity and robust mechanical properties are highly desirable for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in modern portable and highly integrated electronics. Herein, a three-dimensional (3D) porous Ti3C2T/carbon nanotube (CNT) hybrid aerogel was fabricated via a bidirectional freezing method for lightweight EMI shielding application. The synergism of the lamellar and porous structure of the MXene/CNT hybrid aerogels contributed extensively to their excellent electrical conductivity (9.43 S cm-1) and superior electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) value of 103.9 dB at 3 mm thickness at the X-band frequency, the latter of which is the best value reported for synthetic porous nanomaterials. The CNT reinforcement in the MXene/CNT hybrid aerogels enhanced the mechanical robustness and increased the compressional modulus by 9661% relative to that of the pristine MXene aerogel. The hybrid aerogel with high electrical conductivity, good mechanical strength, and superior EMI shielding performance is a promising material for inhibiting EMI pollution.
