Abstract
Electromagnetic protection and thermal protection are of great importance to delicate instruments. Aerogels with ordered structural orientation offer a huge potential in dissipating electromagnetic wave energy and isolating heat. However, achieving precise control over the long-range order in aerogels remains significant challenges, impeding their further development and multifunctional applications. Hence, the MXene/rGO aerogels (LMG) with long-range lamellar structure are constructed by sacrificial-assisted bidirectional freeze-casting. The LMG demonstrates superior electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance with an absolute shielding effectiveness (SSE/t) of 14933.3 dB cm2 g−1. The highly ordered layers effectively hinder the thermal conduction between adjacent layers, achieving a thermal conductivity of only 30.8 mW m−1 K−1. Moreover, the LMG demonstrates excellent elasticity and structural stability, maintaining its structural integrity even under significant geometric deformations during fatigue tests (only 4.7 % residual strain and 5.5 % stress reduction). The long-range lamellar structure endows LMG with superior EMI shielding, thermal insulation and mechanical properties, providing a reliable design strategy for achieving structural orderliness and multifunctional applications in aerogels.
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.
