Flexible and transparent graphene/silver-nanowires composite film for high electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness
Abstract
Herein, an efficient approach to prepare flexible, transparent, and lightweight films based on graphene nanosheets (GNS) and silver nanowires (AgNWs) for high electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) has been explained. High-conductive GNS were fabricated by liquid phase stripping and composited with AgNWs by a two-step spin-coating method. Owing to the high transparency, good conductivity, and homogeneous distribution of both GNS and AgNWs, the obtained GNS/AgNWs film exhibits superb EMI SE and light transmittance, yielding a significantly high EMI SE up to 26 dB in both Ku-band and K-band and light transmittance higher than 78.4%. Moreover, this GNS/AgNWs film shows good flexibility and excellent structural stability. The obtained flexible, light and transparent film could have a great potential for transparent EMI shielding and smart electronics.
