Despite numerous studies on multifunctional EMI shielding fabrics, research on developing such materials using resource-efficient and cost-effective strategies is scarce. The present study introduces a pioneering approach to crafting simulation-engineered carbonized cotton-based EMI shielding fabrics with diverse multifunctionality by leveraging the strategy of electromagnetic (EM) simulations and ferrite decoration. The exceptional conductivity of carbonized cotton stemming from plasmonic electronic states, together with ferrite integration, plays a significant role in enhancing the EMI shielding ability of the fabrics. Ferrite integration is found to be instrumental in reducing the reflection and enhancing the absorption of EM radiations. EM simulations based on a double-layer fabric model demonstrated ~ 60 dB shielding effectiveness for a fabric with 0.75mm thickness, which is further verified via experimental testing. A comprehensive analysis of the EM parameters of the shielding fabric unveiled the existence of unique high-frequency negative permittivity, the high dielectric loss of the order of 10, multiple dielectric-magnetic relaxations, and high attenuation constant in the order of 10³, which significantly contributed to the effective absorption of EM waves. Furthermore, the fabricated EMI shielding fabrics exhibit a plethora of desirable traits, including superior Joule heating performance, photo-thermal capabilities, efficient thermal management, and remarkable hydrophobicity. Consequently, the findings position the multifunctional simulation-engineered EMI shielding fabrics developed in this study as compelling contenders for futuristic applications in wearable electronics, aligning closely with policies emphasizing cost-effectiveness and sustainability.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7220,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":23.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42114-025-01281-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602210","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) shows potential, but the core-shell structure of ZVI is an obstacle due to the low electrical conductivity (<i>σ</i>) of its shell, limiting electron transfer from the core to the surface for metal removal reactions. In this study, we enhance the shell’s <i>σ</i> in a pre-magnetized decimeter-sized ZVI plate (MMDZVIP) through reinforced negative magnetoresistance (NMR) effect. Magnetoresistance measurements reveal that MMDZVIP exhibits an NMR effect. MMDZVIP shows a magnetoresistance ratio (<i>MR</i>) of -123%, an <i>σ</i> 1.95 times and removal efficiencies 1.91 to 5.18 times that of unmagnetized plates when magnetized to 449 mT. Heavy-metal removal experiments showed nearly 100% removal efficiency at 354 mT, with performance retention above 99.7% after 9 cycles, demonstrating high durability. The mechanism behind the results is as follows: During the removal process, the migration of releasing electrons is aligned to form a current along the normal direction of the MMDZVIP plate. This current is primarily driven by electron consumption on the plate’s surface, where the removal reaction occurs. With pre-magnetization, NMR and Hall effects acted on the releasing electron current and synergistically and significantly enhance the shell's <i>σ</i>.

This study identified softening and unexpected stiffening effects in carbon nanotube-based composites after repeated tensile deformation. The Mullins effect was evident during cyclic stretching within the pre-strain region; however, a stiffening effect occurred beyond this region.
