Abstract

AbstractA kind of pollution known as electromagnetic interference (EMI), which results from ubiquitous usage of various electronic communication and military radar equipment, has received increasing attention recently. However, it is still a big challenge to obtain good EMI shielding in transparent and/or curved surfaces. In this paper, a light, ultrathin, transparent, and flexible EMI shielding film based on woven silver nanowire (Ag‐NW) 3D networks is successfully prepared via a room‐temperature template production method. For transparent application scenario, Ag‐NWs with 91% transmittance in visible range show ≈27 dB shielding efficiency. This sample shows ≈27 dB shielding efficiency, although with a low density of Ag‐NWs (≈0.0168 mg cm−2), which implies that this material has a cost‐effectiveness. Moreover, total shielding as high as ≈40 dB is obtained by using thickened Ag‐NW grids. The EMI has not changed remarkedly after bended 1200 times, which indicates the as‐prepared flexible film has a relative stability of the EMI performance. Considering the facile production technology, this material can be readily applied in transparent EMI shielding.
