Flexible and Transparent Ferroferric Oxide Modified Silver Nanowire Film for Efficient Electromagnetic Interference Shielding
Transparent and flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding film is highly desirable due to the fast growing flexible electronics. A silver nanowire (Ag NW) film is considered to be an ideal candidate for a transparent and flexible EMI shielding film but suffers low EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) at high transparency and poor bending durability. Herein, we introduce ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) into a Ag NW film and demonstrate a robust EMI shielding film, which exhibits SE of 24.9 dB at 8.2 GHz and optical transparency of 90% Fe3O4 exhibits roles of the improved absorption loss for electromagnetic radiation due to its high permeability, the enhanced reflection loss for electromagnetic radiation by increasing the conductivity of Ag NWs film, and the improved stability for the enhanced adhesion of the Ag NW EMI shielding film. Our work provides a facile method for high performance transparent EMI shielding film, which exhibits great potential for protection for electronic devices.
