Nanomaterials for Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Applications: A Review

Two-dimensional nanomaterials hold the most promising future, even surpassing conventional electromagnetic interference shields of heavy and corrosion-prone metallic materials. Among the materials discussed in this review, graphene and MXene prove to be the most promising materials owing to their flexibility, affordability and numerous attractive properties. Advancement in electromagnetic interference shielding materials has been a center of interest in research since the discovery of unwanted radiations emitted from the electromagnetic waves which cause severe damage to the environment, human beings and unshielded electronic devices. This review discusses some of the most recent preparation methodologies using the most effective nanomaterials, creating electromagnetic interference shielding materials at par in performance compared to conventional shielding methods.
