Abstract

A type of lightweight and flexible graphene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) hybrid buckypaper (BP) is fabricated, which show superior shielding effectiveness (SE) of electromagnetic interference and without polymer. The EMI SE of graphene/MWCNT hybrid BP with thickness of 130 μm is up to ∼51 dB at 8 GHz, which is much higher than that of pure MWCNT BP with same thickness (∼32.5 dB) and the best electrical conductivity is up to 10,000 S/m. More important, the improvement in EMI SE is contributed to the SE absorption, while the SE reflection is almost unchanged. This paper-like material is smooth, tough, and flexible enough to be attached on the complex curved surface structure. A facile way to fully develop graphene and MWCNT in lightweight and flexible EMI shielding materials and devices is provided here.
