RESUMEN

MXene, as a novel two-dimensional (2D) material, has unique inherent features such as lightweight, flexibility, high electrical conductivity, customizable surface chemistry, and facile solution processability. However, utilizing MXene (Ti3C2Tx) films for long-term electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding poses challenges, as they are susceptible to chemical deterioration through oxidation into TiO2. In this work, an ultrathin heterogeneous film of Ti3C2Tx MXene integrated with multiwalled carbon nanotubes supporting MoS2 clusters (MXene/MWCNT@MoS2) was developed. The heterogeneous film with 15 wt % of MWCNT@MoS2 clusters exhibited improved EMI shielding performance such as the highest EMI shielding effectiveness of 50 dB and the specific shielding effectiveness of 20,355 dB cm2 g -1, mainly attributed to the excellent electrical conductivity, distinctive porous structure, and multiple interfacial interactions. The heterogeneous films underwent extended exposure to a moisture environment (35 days), and their structural stability and EMI shielding performance were enhanced by the integration of MWCNT@MoS2 clusters. As a result, the engineered heterostructure of multilayered hybrid films holds promise as a viable option for improving the EMI shielding effectiveness and stability of Ti3C2Tx MXene.
