Abstract
Flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with ultrahigh shielding effectiveness (SE) are highly desirable for high-speed electronic devices to attenuate radiated emissions. For hindering interference of their internal or external EMI fields, however, a metallic enclosure suffers from relatively low SE, band-limited anti-EMI responses, poor corrosion resistance, and non-adaptability to the complex geometry of a given circuit. Here, a broadband, strong EMI shielding response fabric is demonstrated based on a highly structured ferromagnetic graphene quartz fiber (FGQF) via a modulation-doped chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth process. The precise control of the graphitic N-doping configuration endows graphene coatings on specifically designable quartz fabric weave with both high conductivity (3906 Scm-1 ) and high magnetic responsiveness (a saturation magnetization of ≈0.14 emug-1 under 300 K), thus attaining synergistic effect of EMI shielding and electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption for broadband anti-EMI technology. The large-scale durable FGQF exhibits extraordinary EMI SE of ≈107dB over a broadband frequency (1-18GHz), by configuring ≈20nm-thick graphene coatings on a millimeter-thick quartz fabric. This work enables the potential for development of an industrial-scale, flexible, lightweight, durable, and ultra-broadband strong shielding material in advanced applications of flexible anti-electronic reconnaissance, antiradiation, and stealthy technologies.
