Abstract

High-strength, flexible, and multifunctional characteristics are highly desirable for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials in the field of electric devices. In this work, inspired by natural nacre, we fabricated large-scale, layered MXene/amarid nanofiber (ANF) nanocomposite papers by blade-coating process plus sol-gel conversion step. The as-synthesized papers possess excellent mechanical performance, that is, exceptional tensile strength (198.80 ± 5.35 MPa), large strain (15.30 ± 1.01%), and good flexibility (folded into various models without fracture), which are ascribed to synergetic interactions of the interconnected three-dimensional network frame and hydrogen bonds between MXene and ANF. More importantly, the papers with extensive continuous conductive paths formed by MXene nanosheets present a high EMI shielding effectiveness of 13188.2 dB cm2 g-1 in the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz. More interestingly, the papers show excellent Joule heating performance with a fast thermal response (<10 s) and a low driving voltage (≤4 V). As such, the large-scale MXene/ANF papers are considered as promising alternatives in a wide range of applications in electromagnetic shielding and thermal management.
