Ultrathin MXene/aramid nanofiber composite paper with excellent mechanical properties for efficient electromagnetic interference shielding

Abstract

)/aramid nanofiber (ANF) composite paper with a multi-layered structure was fabricated via the vacuum-assisted filtration approach. Further investigation revealed that the ANFs and MXene displayed good combination by hydrogen bonding, and MXene/ANF composite papers exhibited excellent mechanical properties and superior electrical conductivity. The MXene/ANF composite paper possessed a favorable shielding effectiveness (SE) which reached ∼28 dB in 8.2-12.4 GHz (X band) with an ultra-thin thickness ∼17 μm and showed potential application prospects as an advanced composite in sensitive electronic products.
