Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer coating preparation technology, specifically to a method for preparing and applying a rare earth-modified graphene coating for electromagnetic wave shielding. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, various electronic devices have been successfully applied to people's lives and work. However, electronic devices generate electromagnetic radiation during operation, which can seriously affect people's health and lead to carcinogenic diseases. Furthermore, electromagnetic interference between devices can cause signal interception and data loss, severely impacting the performance and normal operation of electronic devices. Especially with the development of the Internet of Things, autonomous driving, and wearable devices, electronic devices are becoming increasingly complex, smaller, and more precise. To ensure the normal operation of these highly integrated, high-power electronic devices, electromagnetic interference shielding is crucial. Therefore, electromagnetic shielding materials have emerged. These materials are used to create shielding bodies that surround interference sources in electronic components, circuits, assemblies, cables, and even the entire electronic system, preventing the outward spread of interfering electromagnetic fields or external interference. Common electromagnetic shielding materials include conductive adhesives, conductive cloths, conductive foams, conductive tapes, and absorbing materials. Among these, absorbing materials are an important type of electromagnetic shielding material. They are applied as a coating to electronic components or assemblies and the system casing to shield electromagnetic radiation and can be used in civilian or military electronic devices.

[0003] This invention utilizes a self-developed rare-earth modified graphene coating, applied to the electromagnetic shielding coating of electronic components or assemblies and system shells in electronic devices. The rare-earth nano-oxides contained in the coating exhibit localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect. Rare-earth functionalized graphene prepared by electrochemical exfoliation is uniformly dispersed in water-based polyurethane resin to form a long-lasting and stable rare-earth nano-thermal insulating agent, effectively shielding against ultraviolet, infrared, and microwave radiation, possessing numerous advantages such as excellent thermal insulation, transparency, and weather resistance. If used as a stealth coating for electronic equipment in weaponry, it can also prevent targets from being detected by radar. (See "Li Sufang, Chen Zongzhang. Nano-graphene-based composite microwave absorbing materials and their preparation method [P]. Chinese Patent: CN")

[0004] "101550003A, 2009-4-22.", "Xing Honglong, Yin Qing, Liu Zhenfeng, Wang Lei. A microwave absorbing material composed of reduced graphene oxide and nano-cerium oxide and its preparation method [P]. Chinese Patent: CN 105255446 A, 2015-11-06." In the prior art, rare earth functionalized graphene is prepared by hydrothermal methods, electrodeposition methods, etc., while the preparation of this material by electrochemical exfoliation has not been reported. Another effective component, graphene, with its ultra-high specific surface area, is itself an excellent microwave absorbing material, and when combined with rare earth nano-oxides, it achieves a good electromagnetic shielding effect for equipment.
