Abstract Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding fabrics are crucial in addressing the increasingly serious electromagnetic pollution. To meet wearable requirements, stretchability and thermal comfortability often desired, but which still challenging. Herein, a stretchable EMI fabric is fabricated via electrospinning coupled with biaxial pre‐stretching spraying, block stacking wrinkled silver nanowire (AgNW)/Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene network coated on one side of electrospun thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fabric. As expected, structure protects conductive from fracture during stretching process, so as to realize strain‐invariant electrical conductivity. Thus, exhibits performance over 40 dB when subjected 10–50% uniaxial strains or 21–125% strains. More importantly, white TPU/PDMS black AgNW/MXene enable passive radiative cooling heating, respectively. The high mid‐infrared emissivity (97.5%) solar reflectance (90%), thus reducing skin temperature by ≈4.9 °C. heating absorptivity (86.6%) photothermal effect increased ≈5 Therefore, fabirc Janus‐type dual‐mode personal management promising future products.
