Abstract

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with excellent EMI shielding efficiency (SE), lightweight property, and superb mechanical performance are vitally important for modern society, but it is still a challenge to realize these performances simultaneously on one material. Here, we report a sustainable bioinspired double-network structural material with excellent specific strength (146 MPa g-1 cm3) and remarkable EMI SE (100 dB) from cellulose nanofiber (CNF) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which demonstrates remarkable and outstanding performance to both typical metal materials and reported polymer composites. In particular, the bioinspired double-network structure design simultaneously achieves an extremely high electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, which makes it a lightweight, high shielding efficiency, and sustainable structural material for real-life electromagnetic wave shielding applications.
