Abstract
PVP-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNP)-based graphene nanohybrid (Ag-PVP-CRG) have been synthesized and high performance shields for electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the microwave region have been developed. Morphological characterization of Ag-PVP-CRG nanohybrid by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and high resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed PVP-stabilized AgNPs (diameter: 15–30nm) decorated graphene sheets. The Ag-PVP-CRG nanohybrid showed excellent shielding response in the Ku band frequency region, which is majorly governed by absorption losses. The results show that the total EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) value is 58dB for Ag-PVP-CRG at 2.0mm thickness in the Ku-band region, dominated by absorption mechanism, which overpowered the 10dB value of graphene oxide. The presence of AgNPs on graphene sheets enhances space charge polarization, multiple scattering and effective anisotropy energies of the nanohybrid, resulting in high electromagnetic shielding effectiveness. The dielectric behavior was evaluated to correlate with the EMI shielding mechanism.
