Electromagnetic Interference Shielding: Electromagnetic Shielding of Monolayer MXene Assemblies (Adv. Mater. 9/2020)

Abstract

In article number 1906769, Yury Gogotsi, Sang Ouk Kim, Chong Min Koo, and co-workers report systematic experimental and theoretical exploration of the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding behavior of two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx MXene assembled films over a broad range of film thicknesses, monolayer by monolayer. A monolayer assembled film offers ≈20% shielding of electromagnetic waves, while a 55 nm thickness demonstrates 99% shielding, revealing that MXene is the best candidate for lightweight EMI shielding applications.
