Nevertheless, the simultaneous integration of porous architectures and electromagnetic synergistic components remains a significant challenge. This work presents an innovative fabrication strategy that combines sequential vacuum-assisted filtration with <em>in-situ</em> hydrazine hydrate-mediated foaming. This approach simultaneously constructs a 3D porous architecture while reducing nickel precursors to magnetic nanoparticles, ultimately yielding lightweight MXene/rGO-Ni (fMG-Ni) porous films with tunable electromagnetic properties. The engineered porous architecture facilitates multiple internal reflections and scattering of electromagnetic waves, while the synergistic combination of conductive MXene/rGO and magnetic Ni components induces complementary dielectric and magnetic loss mechanisms. These combined effects endow the porous film with effective EMI shielding properties. The optimized fMG-Ni porous film with an ultralow density of 0.246 g/cm³ and a minimal thickness of 163 μm exhibits an outstanding electrical conductivity of 1062.81 S/m and an EMI shielding effectiveness of 37.9 dB in X-band, achieving a high specific shielding efficiency of 9452 dB·cm²·g⁻¹ and long-term stability (94.3 % retention after 5 months).

They offer strong potential for future smart and sustainable buildings and infrastructure. Despite the rapid progress, most of the literature emphasizes the improvement of thermoelectric performance by fillers, while ignoring the discussion of load-bearing capacity and practical applications. This study reviews the latest research progress, including conductive network dispersion, nanoscale filler design, thermoelectric performance enhancement, mechanical property optimisation, environmental influence and practical application. Carbon-based materials primarily enhance thermoelectric properties through their excellent electrical conductivity, while metal oxides contribute by improving the Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity. It remains a major challenge to simultaneously improve the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of TECCs by integrating carbon-based materials and metal oxide materials to achieve a significant breakthrough in the thermoelectric performance. Currently, TECCs suffer from low energy conversion efficiency, with the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT) typically below 10⁻². Modulating phonon and electron transport via interface engineering has become an emerging strategy for improving thermoelectric performance. Regarding mechanical properties, an appropriate content of conductive filler can improve the compressive strength and flexural strength of TECCs. Furthermore, the extreme service environment temperatures (253 K and 343 K) of TECCs cause varying degrees of degradation of their mechanical properties and chloride ion resistance. In addition, factors such as the matrix type, fabrication method, moisture and temperature can significantly affect ion migration and thermoelectric performance. Future research should focus on the synergistic transport of ions and electrons to optimize thermoelectric performance. Finally, this study systematically summarizes the current application of TECCs and provides guidance for the large-scale application of TECCs. The large-scale design of TECCs is an important way to increase power density and improve the quality of output electrical energy. These findings will provide a foundation for TECC applications and insights into improving their thermoelectric performance in smart structures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100034,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Nanocomposites","volume":"2 ","pages":"Pages 227-250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145227332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, it remains a major challenge to integrate thermal insulation, thermal management and infrared stealth into a single system. Herein, bio-based Eucommia ulmoides gum (EUG) – a natural trans-1,4-polyisoprene rubber with high crystallinity and elasticity – was used to develop porous foams via a salt-sacrificial template method, guided by synergy strategy combining multiple working mechanisms. The synergistic conductive fillers, i.e. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and MXene, were concentrated within the EUG skeleton and on the surface. This arrangement facilitates the formation of an efficient conductive network, thereby enhancing the reflection of microwaves and infrared radiation. Additionally, the multi-level pores lead to multiple reflections and absorptions of EMI, while also impeding the heat conduction process. Meanwhile, EUG with phase change capability further regulates the surface temperature via heat absorption. Ultimately, EUG/CNT/MXene (ECM) foam with a thickness of 2 mm exhibited a shielding effectiveness (<em>SE</em>) of 49.7 dB in the X-band, a thermal conductivity of 0.15 W·m⁻¹·K⁻¹, a latent heat of 36.8 J·g⁻¹ and a temperature difference of 30.25 °C between opposite surfaces. Compared with EUG foam, ECM foam achieved a 28 % lower infrared emissivity and an 825 % higher compression strength. The temperature difference between the handheld foam and the environment was only 2.8 °C, indicating superior infrared stealth.
