Abstract
Flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding textiles with wide-operating-range Joule heating performances are urgently indispensable in the application of artificial intelligence, communication industry, and wearable electronics. Herein, a simple and cost-effective approach is proposed to construct multifunctional textiles by electroless depositing a nickel-tungsten-phosphorus (Ni-W-P) ternary alloy on a polyamide (PA) fabric. The resultant fabric with a thickness of ∼117 μm exhibits a favorable EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 43.6 dB within 2-12.5 GHz. Particularly, finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation was introduced to investigate the effects of the PA fabric mesh number and Ni-W ratio on the EMI SE value, which was validated by experimental results. In addition, the conductive fabric demonstrates excellent heating efficiency (up to 140 °C under 2 V within 60 s), a wide operating range (from 40 to 140 °C), and simultaneously, satisfactory reproducibility by undergoing dozens of heating and cooling cycles. Notably, EMI SE of the multifunctional fabric remains unchanged even after a series of durability measurements including 180 °C heating, ultrasonication treatment, and repetitive peeling tests, respectively. Therefore, the prepared Ni-W-P coated PA fabric with prominent chemical stability and mechanical robustness endows enormous potential in multi-scene applications.
