Abstract
Macro-assembled graphene-based films can been considered as a potential material for the electromagnetic shielding (EMI) and thermal management in portable electronics. Here, a carbon nanotubes and graphene composite film with covalent bond (CNT-gGF) was fabricated through graphitized welding. The fabricated covalent-bonding CNT-gGF was featured with sandwich structure based carbon nanotubes welding graphene layers as the skeleton, resulting in an excellent conductivity of 13000 S cm−1 exceeding the pure graphene film. These unique structures endow CNT-gGF film with a prominent mechanical property and flexibility (folding resistant with 1000 cycles). Importantly, an outstanding EMI value is over 55 dB with a thickness of merely 20 μm in the broad frequency of 5–22 GHz. And the CNT-gGF was proven to exhibit a steady EMI property in a variety of extreme environments including high and low temperatures and burns. Moreover, the thermal conductivity of CNT-gGF could be up to 912 W m−1 K−1, then CNT-gGF presents well heat dissipation application for different voltages and mobile phone. Therefore, this large-size CNT-gGF film has a good application potential for high-performance EMI and thermal management, and this study provides favorable guidelines for the graphene-based films toward extreme demands in wearable electronics and 5G communication.
期刊介绍:
The journal Carbon is an international multidisciplinary forum for communicating scientific advances in the field of carbon materials. It reports new findings related to the formation, structure, properties, behaviors, and technological applications of carbons. Carbons are a broad class of ordered or disordered solid phases composed primarily of elemental carbon, including but not limited to carbon black, carbon fibers and filaments, carbon nanotubes, diamond and diamond-like carbon, fullerenes, glassy carbon, graphite, graphene, graphene-oxide, porous carbons, pyrolytic carbon, and other sp2 and non-sp2 hybridized carbon systems. Carbon is the companion title to the open access journal Carbon Trends. Relevant application areas for carbon materials include biology and medicine, catalysis, electronic, optoelectronic, spintronic, high-frequency, and photonic devices, energy storage and conversion systems, environmental applications and water treatment, smart materials and systems, and structural and thermal applications.
