▎ 摘  要

Graphene nanosheets (GNS) have been regarded as one of the best fillers in polymers for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding composites, but it remains a challenge to prepare well-dispersed and highly aligned GNS for optimal EMI shielding despite many recently developed methods. Here we demonstrate a new tech-nology that not only enables uniform alignment of GNS in polymer composites in any direction but also allows us to systematically tune the composites for optimal EMI performance. The technique makes use of graphene's strong intrinsic and anisotropic diamagnetic susceptibility. Unlike paramagnetism and ferromagnetism, diamagnetism allows us to fully control the orientation of GNS by a rotating magnetic field without causing any aggregation or introducing unwanted magnetic particles due to the repulsive force between GNS. This process for GNS composites further enables us to systematically modify GNS concentration and polymer matrix besides GNS orientations. A record-high shielding effectiveness (SE) of 95 dB is achieved with industrially mass-produced multilayer GNS aligned parallel to the surface of a mixed polyvinylidene fluoride-epoxy composite, and a 50% higher SE is further achieved with few-layer GNS. This technique is scalable, thus opening the practical appli-cations of graphene in EMI shielding.
