Abstract

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) decorated with ferromagnetic materials have promising potential in electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications. In this work, CNT sponges with increasing density were fabricated by filling them with magnetic Fe nanowires of mutative filling ratios via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Results indicated that Fe@CNT composites with the highest density endowed the most remarkable average SET value of 70.01 dB (more than 99.99999% absorption), showing an ultra-high EMI shielding performance. However, the susceptibility to oxidation of carbon materials has restricted its further development in high-temperature EMI shielding applications. Therefore, the Fe@CNT composites were encapsulated by silicon carbide (SiC) with satisfactory oxidation resistance. Thereafter, the average SET value of SiC encapsulated a higher density Fe@CNT sponge decreased to an adequate value of 36.48 dB due to the huge loss of electrical conductivity. However, the SET value of it only dropped by about 1.20 as the temperature went up from 25 to 600 °C, demonstrating an excellent stability under high temperature conditions. As a proof of concept, the Fe@CNT/SiC composites with adequate EMI shielding performance and satisfactory oxidation resistance suggest its prospect in high temperature resistant EMI shielding.
