Abstract
This study reports the electrochemical exfoliation synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) and the fabrication of free-standing GO films via vacuum filtration on cellulose filter paper (CFP). The films were subjected to electron beam irradiation at 10 keV for varying durations to achieve controlled reduction to reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Comprehensive characterization revealed significant changes in optical, thermal, chemical, morphological, mechanical, and dielectric properties, confirming successful reduction. The resulting rGO/CFP composite was used as electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in the 4–14 GHz range. Notably, the film was irradiated for 90 min, exhibiting a shielding effectiveness of 60.8 dB at 10 GHz with a thickness of 0.32 mm. This enhancement is attributed to improved conductivity, polarization relaxation, and dielectric losses caused by hopping carriers and lattice defects. E-beam irradiation presents a chemical-free, efficient method for producing flexible, high-performance rGO/CFP films for EMI shielding.
期刊介绍:
Current Applied Physics (Curr. Appl. Phys.) is a monthly published international journal covering all the fields of applied science investigating the physics of the advanced materials for future applications.
Other areas covered: Experimental and theoretical aspects of advanced materials and devices dealing with synthesis or structural chemistry, physical and electronic properties, photonics, engineering applications, and uniquely pertinent measurement or analytical techniques.
Current Applied Physics, published since 2001, covers physics, chemistry and materials science, including bio-materials, with their engineering aspects. It is a truly interdisciplinary journal opening a forum for scientists of all related fields, a unique point of the journal discriminating it from other worldwide and/or Pacific Rim applied physics journals.
Regular research papers, letters and review articles with contents meeting the scope of the journal will be considered for publication after peer review.
The Journal is owned by the Korean Physical Society.
