Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic shielding materials, and specifically relates to an electromagnetic shielding composite material based on plant leaves and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern information technology, the large-scale application of electromagnetic waves has provided great convenience for people's lives, but also brought serious electromagnetic radiation pollution problems. Electromagnetic radiation pollution may not only cause information leakage and interfere with the normal operation of other electronic equipment, but also has potential hazards to human health and the environment. Therefore, in order to effectively suppress the radiation and interference of electromagnetic waves, it is of great significance to develop electromagnetic shielding materials. With the deepening of research, the types of electromagnetic shielding materials are becoming more and more abundant. On the one hand, metal materials have high shielding effectiveness and are widely used as electromagnetic shielding materials in electronic communication equipment, military facilities, aerospace and other fields. However, traditional metal materials have gradually failed to meet the requirements of high performance and lightweight for electromagnetic wave shielding materials. On the other hand, with the development of human society and the continuous consumption of resources, people have gradually begun to explore the use of cheap, renewable and resource-rich biomass materials to replace or partially replace artificial materials, and effectively treat agricultural waste to make full use of renewable resources. Moreover, researchers have gradually discovered that because biomass materials have unique special structures and surface morphologies, they have certain advantages in reflecting and absorbing electromagnetic waves, so biomass materials have the potential to be used as new electromagnetic shielding materials. Combining the above two aspects, combining a small amount of metal materials with biomass materials is expected to develop new electromagnetic shielding composite materials with high shielding effectiveness, light weight, renewable and energy-saving.

[0003] However, in the prior art, examples of biomass electromagnetic shielding materials, in order to obtain high-performance electromagnetic shielding effects, mostly use high-temperature carbonization methods to convert biomass into biomass-derived carbon and then compound it with a large amount of expensive carbon materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes or other highly conductive nanomaterials. Not only is the process complicated, but the production and processing energy consumption is high and the cost is high.
