The tremendous development in electronic devices and their prolific implications have triggered a serious threat to our ambiance in form of electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution. The present study manifests a feasible approach to design an alternative architecture of graphene-based material for improving the shielding performance through absorption in X-band frequency array. The MoS2-rGO/ZnO ternary nanostructure has been synthesized through a simplistic solvothermal approach. The studies suggest that the MoS2-rGO/ZnO ternary nanocomposite exhibits outstanding EM wave absorption and dissipation capabilities as compared to its constituent components. The average EMI SET (∼32 dB) of the studied MoS2-rGO/ZnO nanocomposite owes to the combined effects of various relaxations and polarizations of ZnO and MoS2-rGO. The synergic effect, as well as dielectric and magnetic losses, furnish the high shielding effectiveness. The incorporation of ZnO nanoparticles in MoS2-rGO nanocomposite results in a spectacular average value of EMI SET, making it appropriate for widespread applications.
