Bridging sheet size controls densification of MXene films for robust electromagnetic interference shielding.

ABSTRACT: Numerous voids among the incompact layer-structure of MXene films result in their low ambient stability and poor innate conductivity for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Herein, we report a bridging-sheet-size-controlled densification process of MXene films by applying graphene oxide (GO) as a bridging agent. Specifically, the sheet size of GO is tailored to quantify a negative correlation of sheet size with densification for directing the preparation of most compact MXene-GO films. Benefiting from the shortest electron-transport-distance in the most compact structure, the conductivity of the MXene-GO film achieves 1.7 times (∼1.6 × 10⁵ S/m) that of MXene film. The EMI shielding performance (5.2 × 10⁶ dB/m) reaches the record-value among reported MXene fi
