Flexible Composite Carbon Films Prepared by a Pancake‐Making Method for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

Abstract Inspired by the traditional Chinese “pancake‐making” method, the efficient electromagnetic interferences (EMI) shielding composite carbon films are conveniently obtained by assembling graphene oxide (GO) sheets, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and Co/C nanocomposites into a laminated “nacre‐like” structure. The developed composite carbon films are characterized by a shielding effectiveness (SE) up to ≈51 dB in X band with a small thickness of ≈34.3 µm. Moreover, the composite carbon film shows favorable flexibility and the SE values almost keep a constant after repeatedly bending test. These results demonstrate a promising approach to simply fabricate a flexible and highly efficient EMI shielding material.
