Ultrastrong Nanopapers with Aramid Nanofibers and Silver Nanowires Reinforced by Cellulose Nanofibril-Assisted Dispersed Graphene Nanoplates for Superior Electromagnetic Interference Shielding.

High-strength, lightweight, ultrathin, and flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with a high shielding effectiveness (SE) are essential for modern integrated electronics. Herein, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) are employed to homogeneously disperse graphene nanoplates (GNPs) into an aramid nanofiber (ANF) network and silver nanowire (AgNW) network, respectively, producing high-performance nanopapers. These nanopapers, featuring nacre-mimetic microstructures and layered architectures, exhibited high tensile strength (601.11 MPa) and good toughness (103.56 MJ m) with a thickness of only 24.58 μm. Their specific tensile strength reaches 447.59 MPa·g·cm, which is 1.74 times that of titanium alloys (257 MPa·g·cm). The AgNW/GNP composite conductive layers exhibit an electrical conductivity of 12010.00 S cm, providing the nanopapers with great EMI shielding performance, achieving an EMI SE of 63.87 dB and an EMI SE/t of 25978.80 dB cm. The nanopapers also show reliable durability, retaining a tensile strength of 500.96 MPa and an EMI SE of 57.59 dB after 120,000 folding cycles. Additionally, they have a good electrical heating performance with a fast response time, low driving voltage, effective deicing capability, and reliable heating capacity in water. This work presents a strategy to develop a high-performance nanopaper, showing great potential for applications in electromagnetic compatibility, national defense, smart electronics, and human health.
