Abstract
With the growing threat of electromagnetic interference, developing lightweight and flexible multiband protection materials to shield humans from harmful electromagnetic interference is becoming particularly crucial. However, existing protection materials are bulky and designed primarily for single-band electromagnetic waves. This paper constructs bismuth/tungsten oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotube/polyacrylonitrile (Bi/WO3/MWCNTs/PAN) nanofiber composites with multilevel nanostructures through electrospinning and post-processing technology for effective NIR/UV/X-ray Multiband Electromagnetic Protection. The porous structure, combined with the strong absorption capabilities of MWCNTs for low-frequency electromagnetic waves and high photoelectric effects of high atomic number materials (Bi/WO3), synergistically achieves remarkable electromagnetic protection performance. This includes 99.6 % near-infrared shielding and 99.95 % against ultraviolet (thickness: 0.12 mm), along with 55.2 % X-ray attenuation and a mass attenuation coefficient of 13.94 cm2 g−1 at 33 keV (thickness: 1.92 mm). Light weight (0.3 g cm−3), fantastic flexibility, and moisture permeability (9.22 kg m−2 d−1) endow the material with outstanding wearable performance. In addition, Bi/WO3/MWCNTs/PAN also possesses excellent thermal insulation performance (36.96 mW m−1 K−1), temperature resistance (289.8 °C), and good electrical insulation. These exceptional performances demonstrate its enormous potential for application in electromagnetic shielding and provide new ideas for designing advanced multiband electromagnetic protection materials.
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.
