Colloidal suspensions of glutaraldehyde (GA) crosslinked or grafted graphene oxide (GO) sheets were fabricated by simply tailoring the feed sequence. The different structures were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectra and X-ray diffraction. As demonstration of the utilities, the different colloidal suspensions were used to prepare free-standing papers by flow-directed filtration and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based nanocomposite films by casting. Free-standing papers from GA crosslinked GO sheets exhibited better mechanical properties than unmodified GO paper, while nanocomposite films from GA grafted GO exhibit higher tensile strength and Young’s modulus.

Research on the preparation and performance of graphene composite materials has become a hotspot due to the excellent electrical and mechanical properties of graphene. Among such composite materials, zinc oxide/graphene (ZnO/graphene) composite films are an active research topic. Therefore, in this study, we used the vacuum thermal evaporation technique at different evaporation voltages to fabricate an amorphous ZnO/graphene composite film on a flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The amorphous ZnO/graphene composite film inherited the great transparency of the graphene within the visible spectrum. Moreover, its electrical properties were better than those of pure ZnO but less than those of graphene, which is not consistent with the original theoretical research (wherein the performance of the composite films was better than that of ZnO film and slightly lower than that of graphene). For example, the bulk free charge carrier concentrations of the composite films (0.13, 1.36, and 0.47 × 1018cm−3corresponding to composite films with thicknesses of 40, 75, and 160 nm) were remarkably lower than that of the bare graphene (964 × 1018cm−3) and better than that of the ZnO (0.10 × 1018cm−3). The underlying mechanism for the abnormal electrical performance was further demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) detection and first-principles calculations. The analysis found that chemical bonds were formed between the oxide (O) of amorphous ZnO and the carbon (C) of graphene and that the transfer of the π electrons was restricted by C=O and C-O-C bonds. Given the above, this study further clarifies the mechanism affecting the photoelectric properties of amorphous composite films.Keywords:amorphous;composite film;photoelectric properties;chemical bonds

A flexible thermoelectric device has been considered as a competitive candidate for powering wearable electronics. Here, we fabricated an n-type Ag2Se/Ag composite film on a flexible nylon substrate using vacuum-assisted filtration and a combination of cold and hot pressing. By optimising the Ag/Se ratio and the sequential addition and reaction time of AA, an excellent power factor of 2277.3 μW∙m−1K−2(corresponding to aZTof ~0.71) at room temperature was achieved. In addition, the Ag2Se/Ag composite film exhibits remarkable flexibility, with only 4% loss and 10% loss in electrical conductivity after being bent around a rod of 4 mm radius for 1000 cycles and 2000 cycles, respectively. A seven-leg flexible thermoelectric device assembled with the optimised film demonstrates a voltage of 19 mV and a maximum power output of 3.48 μW (corresponding power density of 35.5 W m−2) at a temperature difference of 30 K. This study provides a potential path to design improved flexible TE devices.Keywords:thermoelectricity;Ag2Se;Ag;composite film;flexible device

Dopamine was used to modify polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in order to obtain functional polydopamine (PDA) surface-modified PTFE microporous film (PTFE@PDA). Ag was deposited on the surface of PTFE@PDA using electroless plating in order to obtain Ag-wrapped PTFE@PDA film (PTFE@Ag). A liquid-phase chemical reduction method was employed to prepare nickel nanochains. A Ni@PVDF cast film was obtained by mechanically blended nickel nanochains and polyimide (PVDF). The above two films were hot pressed to give a flexible, ultra-thin, and highly effective electromagnetic shielding composite film with a “3+2” layered structure. IR, XRD, and TEM results showed the PTFE@PDA film surface was coated by a tight plating layer of Ag particles with a particle size of 100~200 nm. PTFE@Ag+Ni@PVDF composite film exhibited excellent electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, with the conductivity of 7507.5 S/cm and the shielding effectiveness of 69.03 dB in the X-band range. After a 2000-cycle bending, this value still remained at 51.90 dB. Furthermore, the composite film presented excellent tensile strength of 62.1 MPa. It has great potential for applications in flexible and wearable intelligent devices.Keywords:electromagnetic shielding;Ag;PTFE;composite film

Flexible dielectric composite films are highly desirable materials with potential application in capacitors due to their high energy density and discharged efficiency. However, agglomeration induced by the large surface energy of nanoparticles and their large dielectric losses are unfavorable to the improvement of energy density. Submicron lead zirconate titanate (PZT) particles have shown great potential as filler in achieving a high energy storage capacity because of their excellent dielectric properties and good dispersion. In this work, calcined PZT particles were used to prepare PZT/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composite films. The results showed that composite films of high quality could be obtained even with high contents of submicron PZT particles. The introduction of PZT particles significantly improved the dielectric performance of composite films compared with that of the pristine PVDF film. The discharged energy density of composite films with 10 vol% PZT particles achieved 6.41 J/cm 3 at 250 kV/mm. A high efficiency of 87.25% was obtained at 50 kV/mm. These findings confirm the feasibility of PZT particles as inorganic filler in composite films for energy storage applications.

Consider that black phosphorene (BP) nanosheets can compensate each other between the MXene layers, thus preventing the agglomeration of MXene, and forming a more compact microstructure. This study successfully synthesizes f-MXene non-covalently modified by the strong electrolyte PHMB. A series of MXene/BP nanocomposite films are prepared by the strong electrostatic interaction between f-MXene and BP nanosheets and verified by FTIR, XRD, and XPS. The cross-section SEM imaging further reveals the formation of densely ordered aligned microstructures. Thanks to the compensation effect of BP nanosheets between f-Mxene layers, and constructed more efficient thermal conductivity pathways. With a low amount (5 wt%) of BP, the in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivity of 5-MXene/BP film increased to 12.71 and 0.37 W m-1 K-1, respectively. TGA and MCC results demonstrate the flexible 5-MXene/BP film exhibited an ultra-low total release rate (5.8 kJ g-1) and excellent thermal stability (66.74 wt% residual carbon). In consideration of their improvement in thermal conductive performance, MXene/BP nanocomposite film can be the most promising candidates for thermal management applications.

Exploring flexible dielectrics with high dielectric constant and low loss is pertinent for many applications in electronic devices. In the present work, a non-ferroelectric polymer, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), was used to fabricate homogeneous dielectric composite films with a relatively high dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss by using 2D nano sheets (Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene) as the filler. To limit dielectric loss, SiO 2 was coated onto the surface of MXene to provide interfacial barrier effect and suppress dielectric loss. MXene@SiO 2 /PVA composite films showed lower dielectric losses at low frequencies (from 20 Hz to ~ 10 kHz) compared with MXene/PVA composite films. MXene@SiO 2 /PVA composite films with 2.5 wt% MXene loading and 5 wt% (with respect to MXene content) SiO 2 coating had a dielectric constant of 27.2 (a 292.5% rise compared to neat PVA film) and a dielectric loss of only 0.057 (a 259.6% reduction compared to MXene/PVA composite film) at 100 Hz and room temperature (RT). In addition, this SiO 2 -coated composite film had stable dielectric properties (dielectric constant and loss change from 27.2 to 29.3 and 0.057 to 0.104, respectively) in the temperature range of RT to 60 °C. This work provides a promising way to fabricate PVA-based dielectric composites with excellent dielectric properties for practical applications in electronics.

In the era of increasing reliance on electronic devices, the development of flexible smart composite films that offer multifunctional capabilities such as electromagnetic shielding, sensing, infrared stealth, and autonomous heating is becoming increasingly significant. In this study, we fabricated polydopamine-modified cellulose scaffold/MXene composite films (PCM) using a densification strategy, resulting in films with a thickness of only 33 μm, outstanding tensile strength of 235.28 MPa, and excellent electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of 44.6 dB. The PCM also demonstrates remarkable electrothermal performance, reaching temperatures of up to 610 °C at 5 V, and exhibits excellent photo-thermal conversion performance, along with good cycling stability and tunability. Additionally, the PCM’s low infrared emissivity provides it with exceptional infrared stealth capabilities, effectively concealing a high surface temperature ranging from 250 °C to 25 °C. The PCM’s ability to detect human body movement and light-driven actuation for bionic motions underscores its flexibility and utility as a sensor. Therefore, this efficient and versatile approach provides a promising method for synthesizing multifunctional MXene-based composite films, achieving satisfactory mechanical properties, high electromagnetic interference shielding, and effective thermal management for wearable smart devices and military applications.

Multi-functional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are crucial for advanced electronic devices, requiring low thickness, exceptional shielding performance, and stability, especially in extreme conditions. In this study, the hollow sandwich MXene/h-AgNWs/ANF (AMAgMA) composite films were fabricated via template sacrificing method and layer-by-layer vacuum assisted filtration. Specifically, the hollow MXene was created using PMMA as the template, together with AgNWs for the conductive layer, while ANF provided stability and high temperature resistance as the protective layer. The optimized EMI shielding efficiency (SE) reached 88.2 dB for a film thickness of 93 μm, with an SSE/t value of 18160 dB cm 2 ·g −1 , which was attributed to the hollow structure and continuous double conductive network design. Remarkably, EMI SE of the films maintained even after 70 days of exposure to oxidation, acid, alkali, salt, and ultrasonic treatment thanks to the sandwich design. Additionally, the composite films displayed excellent heat transfer and thermal stability (530 °C), alongside notable flame retardancy and self-extinguishing properties. The superior EMI shielding performance and stability in extreme environments suggest a promising application potential in advanced electronics.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials with stretchability are important for developing wearable and flexible appliances. Herein, lithium bis(trifloromethanesulfonyl)imide (Li-TFSI)-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and carboxylated styrene-butadiene rubber (XSB) latex are used to prepare stretchable EMI shielding composite films of 0.2 mm in thickness. In these films, the doped PEDOT:PSS nanoparticles form tenuous conductive pathways between the hexagonally packed latex particles, resulting in higher EMI shielding efficiency (EMI SE) compared with the films containing traditional dopant ethylene glycol. For the purpose of stretchable EMI shielding, the films containing 6 wt % PEDOT:PSS and 6 wt % Li-TFSI demonstrate EMI SE of 50 and 30 dB (12.4 GHz) at 0 and 100% strains, respectively, being the highest values among the reported shielding composites except for those using liquid metal as the filler. The investigation also provides a simple and environmentally friendly preparation method being highlighted for the development of lightweight stretchable EMI shielding materials for applications in flexible electronics in the near future.

SrTiO 3 -based films doped with different Al-precursors were prepared by sol-gel methods and the dielectric strengths and leakage currents of the materials were investigated. The best performance was found in SrTiO 3 films doped with Al 2 O 3 nanoparticles (nano-Al 2 O 3 ). When 5 mol% of nano-Al 2 O 3 was added to SrTiO 3 films with Al electrodes, the dielectric strength was enhanced to 506.9 MV/m compared with a value of 233.5 MV/m for SrTiO 3 films. The energy density of the 5 mol% nano-Al 2 O 3 doped SrTiO 3 films was 19.3 J/cm 3 , which was also far higher than that of the SrTiO 3 films (3.2 J/cm 3 ). These results were attributed to interfacial anodic oxidation reactions, which were experimentally confirmed by cross-sectional transmission electron microscope studies and theoretically modelled based on Faraday's laws . The films with added nano-Al 2 O 3 featured many conducting paths at the interfaces between the host phase and the guest nano-Al 2 O 3 , which promoted ion transport and contributed to the strong anodic oxidation reaction capability of the 5 mol% nano-Al 2 O 3 doped SrTiO 3 films.

Metal halide perovskite-based high-performance X-ray scintillator is considered as one of the most favorable candidates applied in the fields of medicine, industry, and science. However, the current X-ray scilltillators based on perovskites still suffer from the issue of poor stability, which impedes their further wide applications. Herein, a template assembled method to prepare large-size, flexible, and stable CsPbBr 3 @Polymethyl methacrylate composite films in ambient conditions is developed and their detection performance is studied. The composite films can maintain 94% and 81% of the initial PL intensity after 2000 cycles bending and storing in water over 2520 h, respectively. In addition, the prepared scintillators exhibit not only a low detection limit of 40.1 nGy air s −1 and a high spatial resolution of 8.0 lp mm −1 , but also an excellent tolerance against radiation (108 h). Thus, this simple but yet effective method would not doubt pave the way for further development of scintillators and might be well applicable to other metal halides.
