Facile approach for a robust graphene/silver nanowires aerogel with high-performance electromagnetic interference shielding.

ABSTRACT: Robust graphene/silver nanowires (AgNWs) hybrid aerogels were fabricated by facile processes including mixing directly, reducing, and ambient pressure drying. The mechanical properties and electromagnetic interference (EMI)-shielding performance of the resultant hybrid aerogels were investigated in detail. Because silver nanowires with a high aspect ratio have been acting as crosslinkers to bridge two-dimensional graphene sheets, a highly porous and electrically conducting framework can resist high external loading to prevent major deformation and act as an express way for electron transport. Consequently, the hybrid aerogel exhibits large mechanical strength of 42 kPa, 35 times larger than that of the neat reduced graphene oxide aerogel (1.2 kPa), which can resist great damage.
