Published: April 17, 2025

Abstract External electric field (EEF), as a stimulating factor, is an effective method for optimizing the surface composition and structure of materials. Ti 3 C 2 MXene enriched with negatively charged functional groups (─OH, ─O, etc.) will exhibit high sensitivity to EEF. However, impact EEF on interaction mechanisms between guest ions remains unclear requires further investigation.

Published: Dec. 29, 2024

Abstract A composite film with multistage mechanisms for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding in the ultra‐wide frequency of 8–20 GHz was designed. Poly(vinyl alcohol‐co‐ethylene) (PVA‐co‐PE) nanofibers and twill‐structured nylon 6 fabric are used as substrate filter film, respectively. Subsequently, a PVA‐co‐PE/silver nanowire (AgNW)/MXene (PVA/Ag/M) is prepared by vacuum filtration, templating, hot‐pressing. 2.5 wt.% AgNW/MXene content, EMI efficiency (SE), normalized SE (SE/t), absolute (SSE/t) 101.6 dB, 7008.3 dB cm −1 , 36501.5 2 g These results attributed to synergistic enabled twill gradient structure highly conductive. The surface promotes 95% wave adsorption, directing along interior, significantly increasing EM collision probability internal reflection times. rich number hydrogen bonds increase interfacial adhesion between layers enhance tensile stress up 26.8 MPa.
