Abstract
Aerogel/film composites with asymmetric structures have outstanding potential for multifunctional applications of absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and solar-driven interfacial evaporation. In this work, the double-layered aerogel/film composites are fabricated by stacking magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes/chitosan (mMWCNTs/CS) aerogel and MXene/carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (MXene/XSBR) film together under the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonds. Profiting from the integration of porous mMWCNTs/CS aerogel as an adsorption layer and dense MXene/XSBR film as a reflection layer, the resulting aerogel/film composites achieve a high absorption coefficient (A) of 0.76 and an optimum EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) of 86.32 dB via the absorption-reflection-reabsorption process. Furthermore, the resulting aerogel/film composites possessing high sunlight adsorption capability (>96.2%) exhibit an excellent solar-driven evaporation rate of up to 2.44 kg∙m-2∙h-1 with a notable photothermal conversation efficiency of 92.2% under 1 sun irradiation. The mMWCNTs/CS-MXene/XSBR aerogel/film composites with asymmetric structures not only provide an efficient strategy for developing absorption-dominated EMI shielding materials but also extend a novel path for the practical application of solar evaporation systems.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
