Abstract:
Electromagnetic interference protection in optoelectronic devices is challenging because of the dual requirements of optical transmittance and high shielding effectiveness (SE). Herein, we propose a novel silver nanowire (AgNW)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) multi-layer mesh pattern structure for transparent electromagnetic shielding obtained via laser marking and transfer printing. A three-layer composite shielding film with an optical transmittance of 67.8% exhibits a SE of 44 dB at 10 GHz, which is superior to most of the reported transparent shielding films composed of AgNWs to date. The newly designed multi-layer composite structure can enhance the transparent shielding properties of the shielding film via optimization of the AgNW distribution and the shielding film structure. It is expected that this multi-layer mesh composite structure will have splendid application prospects in electromagnetic shielding films, which require both light transmittance and high SE.
