Abstract
As a result of advancements in electronics/telecommunications, electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution has gotten worse. Hence, fabrication/investigation of EMI shields having outstanding EMI shielding performance is necessary. Electrospinning (ES) has recently been established in several niches where 1D nanofibers (NFs) fabricated by ES can provide the shielding of EM waves, owing to their exceptional benefits. This review presents the basic correlations of ES technology and EMI shielding. Diverse graphene (GP)-based fibrous materials directly spun via ES as EMI shields are discussed. Electrospun EMI shields as composites through diverse post-treatments are reviewed, and then different factors influencing their EMI shielding characteristics are critically summarized. Finally, deductions and forthcoming outlooks are given. This review provides up to date knowledge on the advancement of the application of graphene-based electrospun fibers/composite materials as EMI shields and the outlook for high-performance electrospun fibers/composite-based EMI shielding materials.
