Direct Ink Writing of Low-Concentration MXene/Aramid Nanofiber Inks for Tunable Electromagnetic Shielding and Infrared Anticounterfeiting Applications
MXene inks offer a promising avenue for the scalable
production
and customization of printing electronics. However, simultaneously
achieving a low solid content and printability of MXene inks, as well
as mechanical flexibility and environmental stability of printed objects,
remains a challenge. In this study, we overcame these challenges by
employing high-viscosity aramid nanofibers (ANFs) to optimize the
rheology of low-concentration MXene inks. The abundant entangled networks
and hydrogen bonds formed between MXene and ANF significantly increase
the viscosity and yield stress up to 103 Pa·s and
200 Pa, respectively. This optimization allows the use of MXene/ANF
(MA) inks at low concentrations in direct ink writing and other high-viscosity
processing techniques. The printable MXene/ANF inks with a high conductivity
of 883.5 S/cm were used to print shields with customized structures,
achieving a tunable electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness
(EMI SE) in the 0.2–48.2 dB range. Furthermore, the MA inks
exhibited adjustable infrared (IR) emissivity by changing the ANF
ratio combined with printing design, demonstrating the application
for infrared anticounterfeiting. Notably, the printed MXene/ANF objects
possess outstanding mechanical flexibility and environmental stability,
which are attributed to the reinforcement and protection of ANF. Therefore,
these findings have significant practical implications as versatile
MXene/ANF inks can be used for customizable, scalable, and cost-effective
production of flexible printed electronics
