Reduced graphene oxide-Ti3C2TX composite papers with the ingenious combination of fire-resistant skeleton structure and porous conductive framework for effective electromagnetic interference shielding

Multilayer porous reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-Ti 3 C 2 T X composite papers were fabricated by simple evaporation-assisted self-assembly and hydrazine hydrate vapor reduction. Ti 3 C 2 T X is embedded between RGO lamellaes through hydrogen bonds. The chemical structure and morphology of RGO-Ti 3 C 2 T X are investigated by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra and scanning electron microscopy. The composite papers with excellent electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency (SE) can be obtained by controlling the loading amount of Ti 3 C 2 T X and the mass of GO-Ti 3 C 2 T X suspension. When the Ti 3 C 2 T X content is 3 wt% and the thickness of composite is 1.46 mm, the obtained RGO composite paper presents a total EMI SE of 45.4 dB in the 8.2–12.4 GHz (X-band). Simultaneously, the RGO-Ti 3 C 2 T X composite papers maintain fire-exposure stability. The ingenious combination of fire-resistant skeleton structure and porous conductive framework provides an effective method for fabricating RGO-based superb EMI shielding materials applied in the elevated temperature field.
