文摘The rapid development of modern 5G technology has significantly increased the demand for multifunctional electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and wave-absorbing materials.Hence,a densification strategy was proposed to fabricate multifunctional rigid polyimide(PI)composite foam.As a result,the composite PI foam exhibits excellent mechanical properties,with tensile and bending strengths of 4.7 and 21.1 MPa,respectively.Moreover,the composite PI foam achieves a promising EMI shielding performance with a high absorption coefficient(A)of 0.71,coupled with an X-band(8.2–12.4 GHz)EMI rating of 44 dB(2 mm)due to its high conductivity(20.29 ms/mm).Satisfyingly,the composite PI foam also has an optimal reflection loss(RL)of up to−46.4 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)(RL<−10 dB)that covers the entire X-band.Meanwhile,the fabricated foam demonstrates a Joule heating performance of 89.2°C under supply voltages(3–9 V)and rapid response time(within 20 s)for stable and reproducible performance in long-term cycling.This work provides a versatile strategy for the development of lightweight and high-strength materials for EMI shielding and microwave absorption,demonstrating great potential for aerospace,microelectronics,and energy conversion applications.

文摘Exploiting high-performance absorption-dominant electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding composites is urgently desired yet challenging for minimizing secondary electromagnetic radiation pollution.Herein,a nickel(Ni)shell was in-situ grown on a copper nanowires(CuNWs)core to greatly improve the stability of CuNWs,while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity.Afterward,Ni nanowires/Ni@Cu nanowires/graphite paper/waterborne polyurethane(NiNWs/Ni@CuNWs/graphite paper/WPU,n Ni-m Ni@Cu-G)composite foams with the multilayered gradient architectures were fabricated by a facile multi-step freeze-casting method.In the resultant composite foams,the lowly conductive porous NiNWs/WPU layer plays a role as the impedance matching layer,the moderately conductive porous Ni@CuNWs/WPU layer acts as the transition layer,and the highly conductive graphite paper layer serves as the reflection layer.Arising from the rational layout of multilayered gradient magnetic-electrical networks,n Ni-m Ni@Cu-G foam holds the superior averaged total EMI shielding effectiveness(EMI SET)of 75.2 dB and optimal absorption coefficient(A)of 0.93 at the incident direction from NiNWs/WPU layer,suggesting the dominant absorption in EMI shielding mechanism and efficiently alleviating the secondary electromagnetic pollution.Furthermore,n Ni-m Ni@Cu-G foam also exhibits fascinating compressive properties with a compressive strength of 49.3 kPa,which is essential for its practical application.This multilayered gradient architecture design provides valuable insight into high-efficiently constructing absorption-dominant EMI shielding composites.

文摘Conductive hydrogels have garnered widespread attention as a versatile class of flexible electronics.Despite considerable advancements,current methodologies struggle to reconcile the fundamental trade-off between high conductivity and effective absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding,as dictated by classical impedance matching theory.This study addresses these limitations by introducing a novel synthesis of aramid nanofiber/MXene-reinforced polyelectrolyte hydrogels.Leveraging the unique properties of polyelectrolytes,this innovative approach enhances ionic conductivity and exploits the hydration effect of hydrophilic polar groups to induce the formation of intermediate water.This critical innovation facilitates polarization relaxation and rearrangement in response to electromagnetic fields,thereby significantly enhancing the EMI shielding effectiveness of hydrogels.The electromagnetic wave attenuation capacity of these hydrogels was thoroughly evaluated across both X-band and terahertz band frequencies,with further investigation into the impact of varying water content states-hydrated,dried,and frozen-on their electromagnetic properties.Moreover,the hydrogels exhibited promising capabilities beyond mere EMI shielding;they also served effectively as strain sensors for monitoring human motions,indicating their potential applicability in wearable electronics.This work provides a new approach to designing multifunctional hydrogels,advancing the integration of flexible,multifunctional materials in modern electronics,with potential applications in both EMI shielding and wearable technology.

文摘Although multifunctional electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding materials with ultrahigh electromagnetic wave absorption are highly required to solve increasingly serious electromagnetic radiation and pollution and meet multi-scenario applications,EMI shielding materials usually cause a lot of reflection and have a single function.To realize the broadband absorption-dominated EMI shielding via absorption-reflection-reabsorption mechanisms and the interference cancelation effect,multifunctional asymmetric bilayer aerogels are designed by sequential printing of a MXene-graphene oxide(MG)layer with a MG emulsion ink and a conductive MXene layer with a MXene ink and subsequent freeze-drying for generating and solidifying numerous pores in the aerogels.The top MG layer of the asymmetric bilayer aerogel optimizes impedance matching and achieves re-absorption,while the bottom MXene layer enhances the reflection of the incident electromagnetic waves.As a result,the asymmetric bilayer aerogel achieves an average absorption coefficient of 0.95 in the X-band and shows the tunable absorption ability to electromagnetic wave in the ultrawide band from 8.2 to 40 GHz.Finite element simulations substantiate the effectiveness of the asymmetric bilayer aerogel for electromagnetic wave absorption.The multifunctional bilayer aerogels exhibit hydrophobicity,thermal insulation and Joule heating capacities and are efficient in solar-thermal/electric heating,infrared stealth,and clean-up of spilled oil.

文摘The development of materials with excellent microwave absorption(MWA)and electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding performances has currently received attention.Herein,mesophase pitch-based carbon foam(MPCF)with 3D interconnected pore structure was prepared through the high pressure pyrolysis of mesophase coal tar pitch.It is found that the 3D interconnected cellular pores of MPCF facilitate multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves,which results in the minimum reflection loss(RLmin)value of MPCF reaches-37.84 dB with the effective absorption bandwidth(EAB)of 5.44 GHz at a thickness of 2.70 mm,and the total average electromagnetic shielding effectiveness(SE_(T))under 3.00 mm thickness achieves 26.52 dB in X-band.Subsequently,MPCF is activated by KOH to obtain activated carbon foam(A-MPCF).The average SE_(T)of A-MPCF achieves 103.00 dB for abundant nanopores on the pore cell walls,which leads to a transition from the multiple reflections of electromagnetic waves on the walls to diffuse reflection.Unfortunately,the reflection coefficient(R)of A-MPCF increases from 0.78 to 0.90.To reduce the R value,Fe_(3)O_(4)/A-MPCF was fabricated via the in situ growth of nano Fe_(3)O_(4)on A-MPCF.Consequently,the R value of Fe_(3)O_(4)/A-MPCF was reduced from 0.90 to 0.74,whereas the MWA performance was only slightly decreased.This work proposes a simple strategy for simultaneously adjusting MWA and EMI shielding performances of materials.

文摘The advancement of next-generation high-frequency communication systems and stealth detection technologies necessitate the development of efficient,multi-spectrum compatible shielding materials.However,the achievement of simultaneous high efficiency and low reflectivity across microwave,terahertz,and infrared spectra remains a formidable challenge.Herein,a carbonized MXene/polyimide(C-MXene/PI)aerogel material integrating a spatially coupled hierarchically anisotropic structure with stepwise conductivity gradients was constructed.Electromagnetic waves propagate through the top-down vertical disordered horizontal architecture and progressive conductivity gradient of C-MXene/PI aerogel,undergoing stepwise absorption-dissipation-re-dissipation processes.The C-MXene/PI aerogel exhibits an average electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding effectiveness of91.0 dB in X-band and a reflection coefficient of 0.40.In the terahertz frequency band,the average EMI shielding performance reaches66.2 dB with a reflection coefficient of 0.33.Furthermore,the heterolayered porous architecture of C-MXene/PI aerogels exhibits low thermal conductivity and reduced infrared emissivity,enabling exceptional infrared stealth capability across the 2-16μm wavelength spectrum.This study provides an feasible strategy for constructing low-reflectivity multi-spectrum compatible shielding materials.

文摘Chitosan(CS),a natural polymer derived from chitin found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans,has garnered significant interest in the pharmaceutical field due to its unique properties,including biocompatibility and biodegradability.In recent years,various studies have reported that CS can affect drug bioavailability,and interestingly,it works as an oral absorption enhancer and inhibitor.This review offers an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms underlying such a phenomenon and supports its application as a pharmaceutical excipient.CS enhances oral drug absorption through various mechanisms,such as interaction with the intestinal mucosa,tight junction modulation,inhibition of efflux transporters,enzyme inhibition,solubility and stability enhancement,and complexation.On the other side,CS exhibits the ability to inhibit the absorption of certain drugs by adsorbing to lipids and sterols,modulating bile acids and gut microbiota,altering drug-cell interaction at the polar interface,and mucus-mediated entrapment and interference.Future potential pharmaceutical research in this field includes elucidating the underneath absorption relevant mechanisms,rational use in formulations as excipient,exploring functional CS derivatives,and developing CS-based drug delivery systems.This comprehensive review highlights CS's versatile and significant role in enhancing and inhibiting oral drug absorption,providing insights into the complexities of drug delivery and the potential of CS to improve therapeutic outcomes.

文摘In this study,an architecture featuring a gradient conductive network structure and three-dimensional dual-continuous network structure is constructed in a carbon nanotubes/cellulose-boron nitride/poly(vinyl alcohol)(CNT/cellulose-BN/PVA)composite.Using cellulose aerogel as a template,CNT were incorporated into the cellulose template by vertically impregnating the CNT suspension.Following the impregnation of BN/PVA and high-pressure compression,three-dimensional dual-continuous network structure was successfully constructed in the CNT/cellulose-BN/PVA composite.The comprehensive performance of the composite,including electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding and Joule heating performance,was investigated.The results indicate that the total EMI shielding effectiveness(SE)for the CNT/cellulose-BN/PVA composite reveals similar values for electromagnetic waves incident from different directions,but totally different shielding mechanisms.For the CNT/cellulose-BN/PVA composite with three impregnation cycles of CNT,the EMI SE values exceeded 39 dB for electromagnetic waves incident from both the high-and low-CNT-content sides.93%of the microwaves were reflected when electromagnetic waves were incident from the high-CNT-content side,while the reflection coefficient decreased to 0.44 for the transverse direction.In addition,the construction of the dual-continuous network structure enabled the composite to exhibit both excellent electrical conductivity and good thermal conductivity simultaneously,endowing the material with good Joule heating performance.CNT/cellulose-BN/PVA composite films have significant potential for application as EMI shielding materials in extremely cold weather.

文摘Developing advanced cathode modification strategies to address the inherent high charge density of Al^(3+) is essential for achieving high-energy-density and long-cycle-life rechargeable aluminum batteries(RABs).Herein,we engineer tetraethylammonium(TEA)cation intercalation as a dual-function strategy that concurrently enables interlayer distance enlargement and electrostatic shielding effects,resolving Al^(3+) polarization-induced sluggish kinetics and cathode degradation in RABs.TEA intercalation triggers exceptional V2O5 interlayer expansion from 4.37 to 13.10Å,while the modulated charge distribution generates an electrostatic shielding effect that significantly weakens the Coulombic interactions between Al^(3+) and V2O5 frameworks.This dual mechanism collectively enhances ion diffusion kinetics and suppresses lattice stress accumulation.Ex situ X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses confirm that the“molecular pillar effect”of TEA enables minimal and highly reversible structural deformation of the cathode(<2.0%volume change after 200 cycles),demonstrating zero-strain aluminum-storage behavior.The optimized cathode delivers a high reversible capacity of 258 mAh g^(−1) at 0.5 A g^(−1),maintains 99%capacity retention at 5.0 A g^(−1),and exhibits an ultralow capacity decay rate of 0.01%per cycle over 6000 cycles.This work opens new pathways for designing stable high-performance RAB cathodes through synergistic modulation of electronic and lattice structures.

文摘UHMWPE(Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)plain-weave fabric,characterized by its lightweight and high-strength properties,is widely used in protective equipment such as bulletproof vests and stab-resistant vests,serving as a key material for enhancing protective performance.This study systematically investigates the influence mechanism of interfacial properties on the energy absorption characteristics of UHMWPE-based protective structures through multi-scale experiments and numerical simulations,and establishes a cross-scale design methodology.Innovatively,an orthotropic constitutive model incorporating dynamic friction coefficients is constructed,combined with a modified Johnson-Cook failure criterion,to achieve high-precision simulation of the entire ballistic impact process(error<3.5%).Additionally,a friction field prediction model considering strain rate effects is developed,and the friction evolution laws of UHMWPE and Para-aramid(Kevlar)fabrics under strain rates of 10^(−3) and 10^(−4) s^(−1) are obtained through MTS pull-out tests.The results show that:(1)there exists a critical yarn-yarn friction coefficient(μ=0.2);exceeding this value leads to a 19%reduction in energy absorption capacity,while viscous interfaces increase the energy dissipation peak by 16%;(2)UHMWPE shows kinetically-dominated absorption(58%)with high rate but high load,increasing damage risk.Para-aramid has friction-dominated absorption(53%)with a lower rate but stable load.Hybrid fabrics use potential-dominated absorption(49%)at a moderate rate,balancing stability and protection.(3)3–5 layers of UHMWPE fabric yield optimal cost-effectiveness,with the unit cost reduction rate of the HS+5U scheme reaching 2.74 m/(s·$),which is 91%higher than that of the hybrid scheme.(4)For HS+5U(5-ply UHMWPE),V50 is 520 m/s,meeting primary protection requirement.For hybrid solutions with U/K≥3(e.g.,HS+6U+2K),V50 reaches 580 m/s(≥540 m/s),satisfying advanced protection requirement.This research provides critical references for the design of flexible protective structures and their engineering applications.

文摘Aqueous zinc-ion batteries(AZIBs)are facing challenges of severe parasitic side reactions and uncontrolled Zn dendrite growth in promoting commercial applications.Here,rare earth metal neodymium ions(Nd^(3+))have been introduced into the conventional Zn SO_4 electrolyte as an electrolyte additive to improve the stability and reversibility of AZIBs.Combining experimental characterization and theoretical calculations,Nd^(3+)ions are adsorbed at the active sites of zinc crystal growth,forming a positively charged shielding layer on the Zn anode surface that effectively prevents lateral reactions and induces uniform Zn deposition.Meanwhile,Nd^(3+)ions preferentially adsorb on(100)and(101)planes of Zn,thus facilitating preferential deposition on the(002)plane and achieving a dendrite-free Zn anode.Consequently,a Zn//Zn symmetric cell with the Nd^(3+)-modified electrolyte exhibits an ultralong lifespan of 3000 h at0.5 m A cm^(-2),and a Zn//Cu asymmetric cell realizes an impressive Coulombic efficiency of 99.47%for Zn stripping and plating over 550 cycles at 1.0 mA cm^(-2).Impressively,Zn//CNT@MnO_(2) full cell reaches a considerably stable long cycle performance over 2500 cycles at 1.0 A g^(-1).This work offers an effective solution to the challenges faced by Zn anode and expands the application scope of metallic ions in metalbased energy storage devices.

文摘Bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid polyesters offer significant promise for reducing energy and environmental crises.However,their intrinsic flammability remains a critical limitation,and conventional flame-retardant strategies often compromise their mechanical properties,hindering their practical applications.Herein,a 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO)-based comonomer(DDP)was used to synthesize flame-retardant poly(ethylene furandicarboxylate-co-phosphaphenanthrene)(PEFDn).The covalent integration of DDP confers intrinsic flame retardancy,avoiding the plasticization and migration issues associated with additive-type systems.Upon thermal decomposition,the DOPO-derived moieties release phosphoric acid and radical scavengers,promoting char formation and suppressing flame propagation.Furthermore,density functional theory(DFT)calculations combined with non-covalent interaction(NCI)analysis revealed that DOPO dimer molecules adopt a stable parallel-displaced π-π stacking configu ration,potentially facilitating microphase separation and enhancing the energy dissipation capability.PEFD_(10)achieves a UL-94 V-0 rating while simultaneously increasing impact toughness from 1.5 kJ/m^(2) to 14.7 kJ/m^(2).Im portantly,PEFDn maintained acceptable oxygen-barrier properties.PEFD10 also exhibited high transparency and UV-shielding performance.The combination of intrinsic flame safety,im pact-toughness resistance,UV shielding,and an oxygen barrier ensures reliable protection of electrical components and long-term operational stability.The integration of multiple critical properties within a single bio-based material represents a novel approach fo r enabling sustainable polymer solutions for high-pe rformance electrical applications.
