Abstract
Developing lightweight, sustainable, high porosity, and high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding apparatus is essential to diminish electromagnetic contamination for protecting human health and electronic devices. Herein, 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and 2D graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) functionalized recycled cellulose aerogel (RCA) were fabricated via a facile method by freeze, solvent exchange, and ambient drying. The effect of nanofiller type and quantity on the structural, morphological, electrical, thermal and EMI shielding performance of the RC-based aerogel were investigated. The as-prepared hybrid aerogel displays the maximum 40.2 dB electromagnetic interference shielding efficiency (SE) at 8.92 dB GHz with absorption dominant characteristic. CNTs:GNPs nanofillers in recycled cellulose matrix provoked conductivity mismatching and increased interfacial polarization loss. At a density of 0.087 gcm−3, CNTs:GNPs; 7:7%wt. doped RCA exhibits a highly specific SE (SSE) value of 461.95 dBcm3g−1 and an absolute SE (SSE/t) value of 2309.29 dBcm2g−1. These results show that the CNTs:GNPs; 7:7%wt. doped RCA can meet practical applications’ lightweight and high-efficiency EMI shielding requirements.
期刊介绍:
Cellulose is an international journal devoted to the dissemination of research and scientific and technological progress in the field of cellulose and related naturally occurring polymers. The journal is concerned with the pure and applied science of cellulose and related materials, and also with the development of relevant new technologies. This includes the chemistry, biochemistry, physics and materials science of cellulose and its sources, including wood and other biomass resources, and their derivatives. Coverage extends to the conversion of these polymers and resources into manufactured goods, such as pulp, paper, textiles, and manufactured as well natural fibers, and to the chemistry of materials used in their processing. Cellulose publishes review articles, research papers, and technical notes.
