Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new materials, and in particular relates to a one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice material, its preparation method, thin film, preparation system, and its application in electromagnetic shielding. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial superlattices, especially those constructed from two-dimensional atomic layers through layer-by-layer stacking or sequential epitaxial growth, have become an important platform for developing next-generation electronic, photonic, and energy devices due to their ability to generate entirely new physical and chemical properties that surpass those of their constituent materials. To date, the vast majority of research and practice has focused on van der Waals (vdW) superlattices. These superlattices originate from layered materials such as graphene and transition metal sulfides (e.g., MoS2), where the interlayers are held together by relatively weak van der Waals forces.

[0003] Based on their structure and composition, existing artificial superlattices can be mainly divided into Moiré superlattices and heterostructure superlattices. Moiré superlattices, formed by stacking two or more layers of atomic crystals at a specific twist angle, have exhibited novel physical phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and related insulating states. Heterostructure superlattices, on the other hand, are composed of two or more different two-dimensional atomic layers stacked periodically in alternation, exhibiting unique electrical and magnetic properties and showing broad application prospects in electronics, energy storage, and catalysis.

[0004] Currently, common strategies for constructing such van der Waals superlattices mainly include manual stacking layer by layer after mechanical exfoliation, or sequential epitaxial growth via methods such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD). However, these methods all have inherent limitations. First, the layer-by-layer stacking process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and heavily reliant on the operator's experience, resulting in extremely low yields and poor reproducibility, making large-scale fabrication difficult. Second, whether manual stacking or epitaxial growth, the available precursor materials are limited to the inherent layered van der Waals crystals, severely restricting material sources. More importantly, the interlayer coupling dominated by van der Waals forces is weak, which limits the effective hybridization of interlayer electronic states, thus restricting further improvements in key electronic properties of superlattices such as conductivity and carrier mobility.

[0005] To overcome the limitations of material sources, researchers have recently begun exploring the preparation of two-dimensional atomic layers from non-van der Waals solids (such as MAX phases), such as MXenes. MXenes are a class of two-dimensional materials composed of transition metal carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides, typically obtained by selectively etching the atom layers in MAX phases. Although the MXene family greatly enriches the diversity of two-dimensional materials, current techniques mainly focus on the preparation and application of their two-dimensional nanosheet morphology. How to further assemble these non-van der Waals two-dimensional materials into novel superlattices with periodically ordered structures and achieve strong interlayer coupling remains a significant challenge. Traditional exfoliating agents and methods (such as small molecules or common quaternary ammonium bases) often only achieve simple exfoliation and dispersion of MXenes, making it difficult to induce their controllable self-assembly to form long-range ordered superlattice structures.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a novel synthesis strategy that can overcome the dual limitations of existing van der Waals superlattices in terms of material source and interfacial coupling strength, and achieve efficient and controllable preparation of non-van der Waals superlattices with rich chemical composition, strong interfacial coupling and excellent performance.

[0074] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0075] (1) This invention creatively fabricates a non-van der Waals superlattice coupled by hydrogen bonds, breaking the material limitations of traditional van der Waals superlattices. This structure endows the material with extremely high electrical conductivity (up to approximately 30,000 S cm⁻¹). -1 (22 times higher than its sheet) and a high concentration of charge carriers (approximately 10 22 cm -3 It exhibits a unique positive linear magnetoresistance effect.

[0076] (2) Strong interfacial coupling. The presence of interlayer hydrogen bonds provides interfacial coupling that is much stronger than van der Waals forces, promoting strong correlation of interlayer electrons. This is the structural basis for its excellent electrical performance and also enhances the stability of the structure.

[0077] (3) The method is efficient and has strong universality. The "stiffness-mediated curling" preparation strategy proposed in this invention customizes the bending stiffness by controlling the vacancies and uses a large-size stripping agent to trigger rapid and orderly curling. The method is simple and efficient, with high yield (up to 96%), good reproducibility, and is applicable to carbides and carbonitrides of various transition metals such as V, Ti, Nb, and Ta. It has successfully constructed a superlattice family of MXene containing 17 members, and the platform has extremely strong scalability.

[0078] (4) When the superlattice material of the present invention is used for electromagnetic interference shielding, one of the highest shielding performances (up to 124dB) of the same thickness can be obtained to date. Its absolute shielding performance (SSE / t) far exceeds that of existing mainstream materials (such as copper foil and traditional MXene film), providing a new generation of high-performance solutions for solving the increasingly serious electromagnetic pollution problem of modern electronic devices.

[0079] (5) Through the aforementioned dedicated equipment system, a macroscopically ordered arrangement of superlattices on a one-dimensional scale can be achieved, and highly oriented thin films can be prepared, thereby obtaining better conductivity and shielding performance in a specific direction to meet the needs of anisotropic functional devices.

[0107] Example 1: V2CT xPreparation and characterization of non-van der Waals superlattices

[0108] 1.1 V2AlC precursor and multi-slice V2CT x Preparation of MXene

[0109] First, V2AlC MAX phase precursors were synthesized using a powder sintering method. Vanadium powder, aluminum powder, and graphite powder were uniformly mixed in a molar ratio of 2.0:1.3:1.0 and sintered at 1500℃ for 4 hours under argon protection. The sintered bulk material was then ground and passed through a 400-mesh sieve to obtain V2AlC powder.

[0110] Subsequently, multilayer V2CTs were fabricated using in-situ HF etching. x Weigh 1.0 g of the above V2AlC powder and slowly add it to 20 mL of etching solution prepared by dissolving 1.0 g of NaF in 20 mL of 9M HCl solution. Transfer the mixture to a 50 mL high-pressure reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene and react at 95 °C for 96 hours. After the reaction, allow it to cool naturally to room temperature. Centrifuge repeatedly (3500 rpm, 5 min) and wash with deionized water until the pH of the supernatant is approximately 6. Dry the resulting precipitate in a vacuum drying oven at 60 °C for 6 hours to finally obtain multilayer V2CT. x MXene powder.

A black, multilayered V2CT was immediately observed. x The rapid expansion, peeling, and transformation into a dispersion with a silky sheen indicated the occurrence of rapid coiling. After continuous stirring for 30 minutes, the product was washed with deionized water by centrifugation until the supernatant was neutral to remove excess TBPH. Finally, the washed product was freeze-dried for 48 hours to obtain black V2CT. x Superlattice powder.

[0114] Morphology and microstructure: Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images (as attached) Figure 2 As shown in Figure a), the obtained product consists of numerous one-dimensional fibrous structures, exhibiting good monodispersity and uniform diameter distribution. (Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) image) Figure 2Images b, 3a, and 3d further confirmed its one-dimensional coiled morphology. The diameter statistical distribution was mainly between 20 nm and 100 nm. The images clearly showed that the coiled structure was composed of a single atomic layer spirally wrapped together, with identifiable start and end edges, and a constant interlayer spacing between adjacent atomic layers, with a measured value of approximately 1.14 nm. Figure 5 a, b). The corresponding X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows a strong and sharp (002) diffraction peak at approximately 7.8° (2θ) (not shown in the figure). According to the Bragg equation, the corresponding interlayer spacing d ≈ 1.13 nm is highly consistent with the HRTEM measurement results.

Figure 2 (As shown in c and d). Two identical hexagonal diffraction lattices appear in the diffraction patterns, with a clear twist angle of 6.0° (2θ) between them. This indicates that the two atomic crystal layers are not simply stacked, but rather form a moiré superlattice structure with a specific rotation angle. It is noteworthy that not all moiré superlattices have a uniform twist angle; some variable twist angles ranging from 8° to 30° can be seen in the SAED pattern.

[0118] Example 2: Preparation of MXene superlattices with different chemical compositions

[0119] This embodiment aims to demonstrate that the "stiffness-mediated curling" strategy described in this invention is a universal synthetic method applicable to the preparation of non-van der Waals superlattices from various transition metal carbides and carbonitrides.

[0120] 2.1 Preparation of different MXene superlattices

[0121] We selected various MAX phase precursors and etched and curled them according to a principle similar to that of Example 1, adjusting the etching conditions to suit the reactivity of different precursors. In all cases, a 25 wt.% TBPH solution was used as a stripping agent to trigger the curling process after the preparation of multilayer MXenes. The specific MXene superlattices and their precursors, as well as key preparation parameters, are shown in the table below:

[0122] Table 1. Summary of the preparation of different MXene superlattices

[0123]

[0124]

[0125] 2.2 Structural Characterization and Universality Verification

[0126] All the above products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to confirm that they all successfully formed one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice structures, such as Figure 7 and 8 As shown, all prepared samples exhibited typical one-dimensional curled morphology, similar to the V2CT in Example 1. x Superlattices are similar. For example: (Ti 0.5 V 0.5 )2CT x ( Figure 7 b) and (Nb) 0.4 V 1.6 CT x ( Figure 7d) The uniform fibrous structure demonstrates the effectiveness of the solid solution strategy. Ti2(C) 0.5 N 0.5 )T x ( Figure 7 h), Ti3CNT x ( Figure 7 l), V2(B 0.28 C 0.57 N 0.15 )T x ( Figure 8 j) also successfully curled, indicating that this method is also applicable to carbon-nitrogen and carbon-nitrogen-boron compound systems. The XRD patterns of all products showed distinct and sharp (002) diffraction peaks in the low-angle region (~5°-10°), indicating the successful formation of layered stacked structures and large interlayer spacing, consistent with the model of interlayer embedding of TBPH molecules and formation of hydrogen bonds in curled structures. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns showed that these individual superlattices exhibited significant twist angles (j) Figure 9 ).

[0127] It is evident that, despite differences in chemical composition and precursor etching conditions, the stiffness-controlled curling strategy mediated by this invention can efficiently and reliably yield superlattices with one-dimensional curled morphology and ordered layered structures. This fully demonstrates the high universality of the method of this invention and lays the foundation for constructing a non-van der Waals superlattice material platform with variable composition and crystal structure.

[0128] 2.3 Stability Test

[0129] Observations of the storage of aqueous dispersions of these one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice materials revealed that they remained stable on the first day (color and crystal structure unchanged), but significant degradation (color change, XRD spikes) began to appear from the second day, indicating that they are not suitable for long-term storage in aqueous solutions. However, when these rolled structures were formed into dry films and stored in low-humidity air (20% RH), they exhibited excellent environmental stability. During a test period of up to 30 days, their macroscopic morphology and microscopic crystal structure (XRD patterns) did not show significant changes. Figure 10 It is evident that this type of material exhibits excellent long-term stability in dry environments, which is crucial for its application in practical devices such as electromagnetic shielding films and flexible electrodes.

[0130] Example 3: Verification of the relationship between bending stiffness control and curling behavior

[0131] This embodiment introduces vacancies of different concentrations by controlling the etching degree, and systematically studies the decisive influence of atomic layer bending stiffness (D) on its final morphology (two-dimensional nanosheets or one-dimensional curls), thereby verifying the correctness of the core mechanism of the present invention.

[0132] 3.1 Effect of vacancy concentration on bending stiffness

[0133] Using the V2AlC MAX phase as a model precursor, a series of multilayer V2CTs with different vanadium (V) vacancy concentrations were prepared by controlling the reaction time of in-situ HF (HCl / NaF) etching. x sample.

[0134] The experimental procedure included setting four different etching time points: 4 hours, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, and 96 hours, while maintaining a constant etching temperature (95℃) and etchant concentration. After the reaction, the material was washed and dried according to standard procedures to obtain the corresponding multilayer V2CT. x .

[0135] The dissolved V content in the etching solution was analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) to semi-quantitatively characterize the V vacancy concentration in different samples. The results showed that the V vacancy concentration increased significantly with etching time increasing from 4 hours to 96 hours. Based on density functional theory (DFT), we calculated V2CT with different V vacancy concentrations. x Bending stiffness (D) of a single-layer model. The calculation results show that the theoretical bending stiffness of the material is negatively correlated with the V-vacancy concentration; that is, the more vacancyes, the lower the bending stiffness. Figure 11 a).

[0136] 3.2 The decisive role of bending stiffness in the final morphology

[0137] Multilayer V2CT obtained at the above different etching times x Under identical conditions (using 25 wt.% TBPH solution), the samples underwent peeling and curling treatments, and their final morphology was observed. Figure 11 As shown in the SEM images of d, the morphology of the final product strongly depends on the etching degree (i.e., bending stiffness) of the precursor: After etching for 4 hours, the resulting material largely retains a two-dimensional nanosheet morphology, with only a very small amount of curling observed. At this point, the vacancy concentration is low, the bending stiffness is high, and the atomic layers have a strong resistance to bending deformation, making curling difficult. After etching for 24 hours, a partially curled morphology appears, meaning that the sample contains both flat nanosheets and initially curled structures. This indicates that the bending stiffness has decreased to near the critical point for curling. After etching for 48 hours and 96 hours, the sample almost completely transforms into a uniform one-dimensional curled structure. This shows that when the bending stiffness of the atomic layers is reduced to a critical value (D) through sufficient etching, the morphology of the final product is significantly improved. m When the peeling force provided by TBPH is below a certain level, it is sufficient to trigger rapid, thorough and orderly curling. Figure 12The relationship between the bending stiffness and M-vacancy for other types of MXene is presented, showing that the bending stiffness decreases significantly with the increase of M-vacancy in the MX layer. This further illustrates that the bending stiffness of atomic layers can be effectively customized by introducing vacancies. The "stiffness-mediated curling strategy" of this invention is a key mechanism for realizing the controllable transformation from two-dimensional nanosheets to one-dimensional superlattices.

[0138] 3.3 Theoretical Analysis

[0139] To achieve controllable and efficient fabrication of non-van der Waals superlattices of carbides and carbonitrides, this invention uses theoretical calculations to predict the ability of different MXene materials to form stable rolled structures. The stability of the rolled structure is determined by the total formation energy; when the formation energy reaches equilibrium (E... f When (=0), the coiled structure is in a stable state. In this state, the inner radius (R) of the coiled structure is... in The bending stiffness (D), interlayer binding energy (γ), and interlayer spacing (h) of the atomic layers satisfy certain numerical relationships (e.g., Figure 1 (as shown in b). Table 1 lists the key parameters and minimum inner radius R calculated for various typical MXene materials based on the above ideal curling model. m These parameters provide a theoretical basis for screening MXene materials suitable for forming non-van der Waals superlattices.

[0140] Table 2. Calculated binding energy (γ) and minimum inner radius (R) of MXene coiled structures m (Minimum number of rotations N = 1)

[0141]

[0142] As shown in Table 2, for M2XT x Type MXene (such as Ti2CT) x V2CT x The calculated minimum inner radius R m The relatively small wavelength (5.1 nm to 6.4 nm) indicates that this type of material is thermodynamically more prone to curling to form a superlattice structure. This makes V2CT the preferred material for this invention. x These materials, as model precursors, provide direct theoretical guidance.

[0143] To further improve the accuracy of theoretical predictions and make them closer to the actual preparation process, this invention further considers the influence of interlayer friction in MXene. The work done by friction (W) is introduced into the total formation energy. F After making corrections, the corrected equilibrium equations were derived, and the corrected minimum inner radius (R) was calculated accordingly. in Table 3 shows the friction coefficients and corrected inner radii of several key MXenes at a given width (B = 1 μm).

[0146] Example 4: Screening of key parameters for stripping agents

[0147] This embodiment aims to investigate the influence of the physicochemical properties of the stripper on its ability to trigger MXene curling behavior. The study compares the effects of different strippers on the same batch of multilayer V2CT. x The effect at that time was to identify the key parameters required for successful induction of curl.

[0148] 4.1 Experimental Design and Parameter Measurement

[0149] Four representative media were selected for treatment experiments, including: (1) Tetrabutylphosphine hydroxide (TBPH): the preferred stripping agent of this invention. (2) Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAOH): a commonly used quaternary ammonium base stripping agent. (3) Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH): another quaternary ammonium base stripping agent with a smaller molecular size. (4) Deionized water: as a control.

[0150] Key physical parameters were measured for the above-mentioned 25 wt.% aqueous solutions. The surface tensions of TBPH, TBAOH, TMAOH, and H2O solutions were 32.2, 55.6, 65.9, and 71.9 mN m, respectively. -1 (See appendix) Figure 13 a) The hydrodynamic diameter of its hydrated ions was calculated using molecular dynamics simulations. TBP + TBA + TMA + The molecular size measurements of cations and H2O are respectively and ( Figure 13 b). Measurement was performed using the hanging plate method.

[0151] 4.2 Comparison of peeling and curling effects

[0152] Equal amounts of the same batch of multilayer V2CT x The powders were added to the four media mentioned above and observed and processed under the same conditions (room temperature, magnetic stirring). TBPH: multilayer V2CT was observed using an in-situ optical microscope. xRapid expansion, peeling, and transformation into a uniform black dispersion occurred within 0.3 seconds, indicating rapid and complete curling. TBAOH: The peeling process was slow, taking approximately 14.0 seconds, with the final product being a mixture of partially curled and partially nanosheet-like structures. TMAOH: The peeling speed was even slower (approximately 20.3 seconds), and the final product was primarily two-dimensional nanosheets with almost no observed curled structure. H2O: No significant peeling or curling behavior was observed; the material remained in a multilayered stacked state throughout.

[0153] The processed and dried product was observed using SEM. Figure 13 (cf) further confirms the above observations: the TBPH-treated product has a uniform one-dimensional coiled structure. The TBAOH-treated product has an incompletely coiled morphology, that is, partial coiling coexists with two-dimensional nanosheets. The TMAOH-treated product is almost entirely two-dimensional nanosheets. The H2O-treated product still retains the original multilayered stacked block morphology.

[0154] This embodiment clearly demonstrates through comparative experiments that the ability of the stripping agent to trigger MXene curling is closely related to its molecular size and surface tension. Large molecular size This helps generate sufficient steric hindrance and intercalation force between layers, overcoming interlayer interactions and providing initial curvature for curling. Low surface tension (≤40 mN / m). -1 The ability of the solution to rapidly wet and penetrate the interlayer of MXene is a key kinetic factor for achieving rapid exfoliation and deformation. Only exfoliating agents (such as TBPH) that simultaneously meet the two key parameters of large molecular size and low surface tension can efficiently and completely induce the exfoliation and curling of multilayer MXene to form a one-dimensional superlattice. This provides a clear experimental basis and parameter range definition for the selection of exfoliating agents in this invention.

[0155] Example 5: Electrical and magnetic properties of a single superlattice

[0156] This embodiment utilizes micro-nano fabrication technology to prepare a single V2CT-based fabrication unit. x Superlattice devices are used to directly measure their intrinsic conductivity, carrier concentration, and mobility, and to study their magnetic transport behavior at low temperatures in order to reveal their unique electronic properties.

[0158] The preparation steps include: using the V2CT prepared in Case 1 x Superlattice powder was dispersed in anhydrous ethanol and briefly sonicated to form a homogeneous suspension. The suspension was drop-coated onto a silicon wafer covered with a 300 nm thick silicon dioxide insulating layer. After the ethanol evaporated, the superlattice was randomly distributed on the substrate. Device fabrication was performed using a focused ion beam system, selecting a well-formed and isolated V2CT. xSuperlattices as channel materials (e.g.) Figure 14 (As shown in a and b). Platinum (Pt) electrodes are deposited at both ends of the superlattice using ion beam-induced deposition technology to form a standard four-terminal measurement structure, thereby eliminating the influence of contact resistance.

[0164] 5.3 Hall Effect Test

[0165] To investigate the physical reasons for the significant increase in conductivity, we performed Hall effect measurements on devices based on superlattice thin films. The testing method included measuring the Hall coefficient (RH) under a vertical magnetic field of 0.35 T. H According to the formula:

[0168] V2CT was calculated x The Hall carrier concentration of the superlattice thin film is as high as 2.9 × 10⁻⁶. 22 cm -3 (Table 5). This value is higher than V2CT. x Nanosheet thin films (~10 20 cm -3 This is two orders of magnitude higher. Combined with conductivity data, the calculated carrier mobility is approximately 2.2 cm⁻¹. 2 V -1 s -1 This indicates that the ultra-high conductivity mainly originates from the abnormally high carrier concentration in the superlattice, which is consistent with the theoretically calculated results of a significantly enhanced density of electronic states (DOS) at the Fermi level.

[0172] A single superlattice device was placed in a cryostat (temperature can be reduced to 2K) and a superconducting magnet (magnetic field up to 9T) to measure its magnetoresistance (ΔMR) behavior. For example... Figure 14 As shown in d, at a low temperature of 2K, when the applied magnetic field is scanned from 0T to 5T, V2CT... x The resistance of a superlattice increases linearly with increasing magnetic field, exhibiting a clear positive linear magnetoresistance effect. This contrasts sharply with conventional V2CT. x Nanosheets exhibit common negative magnetoresistance behavior under the same conditions, which is usually attributed to weak localization effects.

[0173] This embodiment verifies the V2CT fabricated by the present invention through precise measurements of a single superlattice device. x Non-van der Waals superlattices possess unique properties, including: exceptional electrical conductivity (~30,000 S cm⁻¹). -1 ), far exceeding its two-dimensional nanosheet morphology; extremely high carrier concentration (~10 22 cm -3 This forms the structural basis for achieving high electrical conductivity. The novel positive linear magnetoresistance effect, distinct from the conventional negative magnetoresistance behavior of most MXene materials, suggests the possible existence of a unique electron scattering or band structure mechanism within it. These superior electrical and magnetic properties make this material a promising candidate for applications in next-generation nanoelectronic devices, high-performance sensors, and spintronics.

[0174] Example 6: Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Performance

[0175] This embodiment systematically evaluated and compared the electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz) by preparing three superlattice thin films with different structures, demonstrating their great potential as a next-generation high-performance shielding material.

[0176] 6.1 Thin Film Preparation

[0177] (1) Random film: The V2CT prepared in Example 1 will be used as a random film. x The superlattice is dispersed in water to form a uniform dispersion (~15 mg / mL). -1 The dispersion was filtered onto a microporous membrane using vacuum-assisted filtration technology to form a self-supporting film. The film was then peeled off the membrane to obtain a random film containing a superlattice with random distribution. Figure 15 (SEM images of a and b). The film thickness was precisely controlled between 5 and 40 μm by controlling the volume of the dispersion liquid.

[0178] (2) Orientation film: High concentration of V2CT was prepared by referring to the method in Example 1. x Superlattice dispersion (~180 mg / mL) -1 The dispersion exhibits obvious liquid crystal behavior. Figure 16 The polarized microscope image of b shows birefringent texture and shear thinning behavior. Figure 17 Subsequently, the high-viscosity dispersion was loaded into an injection pump and extruded onto the substrate through a flat needle (slit width ~500μm). Figure 16 a). During extrusion, shear force causes the one-dimensional superlattice to be highly oriented along the extrusion direction ( Figure 18 b, c, Figure 19 After drying, an oriented thin film is obtained. Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements show that its Hermann orientation factor is as high as 0.87. Figure 20 This confirms the high degree of orientation.

[0179] (3) Sandwich film: In order to balance isotropic shielding and high conductivity, we designed and fabricated a sandwich sandwich structure film. First, a random film was prepared as the bottom layer, and then a thin oriented film was prepared on its surface by extrusion technology as the middle layer. Finally, another random film was covered on the oriented layer by vacuum filtration as the top layer, thus forming a sandwich structure of "random layer / oriented layer / random layer".

[0180] 6.2 Performance Testing and Comparative Analysis

[0181] The conductivity and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness of all thin films were tested.

[0182] (1) Conductivity: The conductivity of the random thin film is approximately 11,000 S cm⁻¹. -1 The conductivity of the oriented thin film along the orientation direction is increased to approximately 20,000 S cm⁻¹. -1 This demonstrates the benefit of orientation alignment for electron transport. The conductivity of the sandwich film is comparable to that of the random film (see Table 6). Figure 22 ).

[0183] Table 6. V2CT x Electrical test results of thin films

[0184]

[0185] (2) Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness: The total shielding effectiveness (SE) of the thin film was measured using a vector network analyzer in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz). T ), reflectivity (SE) R ) and absorption efficiency (SE) A For a 40 μm thick film, the SE of a random film T The average value is as high as 119 dB, while the SE of the sandwich film is... T The peak reached a record 124 dB. Figure 21 b). This means that the energy of the incident electromagnetic wave is attenuated to 10% of its original value. -12 Only a very small amount of transmission occurs. In contrast, at the same thickness, V2CT... x Thin films prepared from nanosheets have a high SE T Only 60dB Figure 21 c). The performance of the superlattice thin film of the present invention is more than doubled.

[0186] By analyzing SE A and SE R ( Figure 21 d) It was found that the shielding mechanism of superlattice thin films is dominated by absorption (SE). A >97dB), rather than reflection. This is due to the ohmic loss caused by its high conductivity, the multiple internal reflections and scattering caused by the one-dimensional coiled structure, and the dipole polarization relaxation caused by the hydrogen bond interface, which together lead to the efficient dissipation of electromagnetic wave energy.

[0187] To fairly compare the shielding efficiency of materials with different thicknesses and densities, we calculated the absolute shielding effectiveness. The SSE / t value of the superlattice thin film of this invention can reach ~200,000 dB cm⁻¹. 2 g -1 ( Figure 21 e. Table 7) shows that the efficiency is far greater than that of nanosheet films (~20,000 dB cm⁻¹). 2 g -1 ) and traditional metallic shielding materials such as copper foil (~8,000 dB cm⁻¹)2 g -1 ).

[0188] Table 7. V2CT x Absolute specific shielding effectiveness (SSE / t) of superlattice thin films

[0189]

[0190] (3) Mechanical flexibility: V2CT x Bending performance tests on the superlattice random thin film showed that it could withstand 20,000 bending deformation cycles at a deformation distance of 4 mm, comparable to V2CT. x The nanosheet film (21,000 cycles) exhibits comparable performance and demonstrates excellent mechanical flexibility. Figure 23 ).

[0191] This embodiment fully demonstrates that the one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice material of the present invention can be fabricated into various forms of products, such as self-supporting thin films, coatings, foams, or bulk composite materials, exhibiting excellent electromagnetic interference shielding performance. In particular, its total shielding effectiveness of 124 dB and ~200,000 dB cm⁻¹ shielding efficiency are particularly noteworthy. 2 g -1 Its absolute shielding effectiveness is among the highest of its kind. Its absorption-dominated shielding mechanism also better meets the green shielding requirements of modern electronic devices for low electromagnetic reflection. These superior properties give it extremely broad application prospects in high-end fields such as aerospace, flexible electronics, and defense.

[0192] Comparative Example 1: Superlattice after heat treatment (verification of hydrogen bonding)

[0193] This comparative example demonstrates the core role of strong hydrogen bond coupling by selectively disrupting the interlayer hydrogen bond network of the superlattice material prepared in this invention through heat treatment, and systematically studying the effect of this process on its structure and electrical properties.

[0194] D1.1 Heat Treatment Process

[0195] The V2CT prepared in Example 1 x The superlattice powder was placed in a vacuum tube furnace. Under argon protection, it was heated to 350°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min and held at this temperature for 2 hours. Subsequently, the sample was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature within the furnace. This heat treatment temperature was intentionally chosen to partially remove the hydrophilic -OH functional groups on the MXene surface, thereby weakening interlayer hydrogen bonds, while avoiding drastic phase transitions or oxidation of the material.

[0196] D1.2 Characterization of Structural and Chemical Changes

[0197] The heat-treated sample was subjected to FTIR testing and compared with the original superlattice. Figure 24 (a, c) It can be observed that after heat treatment, the temperature is located at ~3425 cm⁻¹. -1 The intensity of the -OH stretching vibration peak at the surface was significantly reduced, and the peak position shifted slightly to higher wavenumbers (blue shift). This indicates that the heat treatment process did indeed lead to a reduction in the number of -OH functional groups on the material surface and a weakening of the hydrogen bond interaction strength of the remaining -OH groups.

[0198] D1.3 Electrical and Electronic Performance Degradation

[0199] The electrical conductivity decreased significantly: A single-element device based on a heat-treated superlattice was fabricated and measured using the same method as in Example 5. Its conductivity dropped sharply to approximately 4,000 S cm⁻¹. -1 ( Figure 24 b). This is approximately 30,000 Scm from the original superlattice. -1 The difference in conductivity is orders of magnitude, clearly demonstrating the catastrophic impact of weakened hydrogen bonds on conductivity.

[0200] Decreased electronic state density: Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) was used to test the samples before and after heat treatment. Figure 24 d, e). The results show that the heat-treated sample reaches the Fermi level (E). F The density of electronic states near the Fermi level decreases significantly. This result is in complete agreement with the trend predicted by density functional theory (DFT) calculations: when hydrogen bonds are broken, interlayer electronic coupling weakens, leading to a reduction in the number of electronic states available for conduction at the Fermi level.

[0201] It is evident that the strong interlayer electron coupling mediated by hydrogen bonds in the superlattice of this invention is the reason for its ultra-high electrical conductivity (~30,000 Scm). -1 The fundamental reason is not simply the material composition or macroscopic morphology.

The high-concentration dispersion prepared in step 1 is loaded into the syringe, and the flat needle is installed, ensuring that the system is sealed and leak-free.

[0206] Orientation film preparation (printing process): The printing parameters are set through the control unit: extrusion pressure is 150 kPa, printing platform temperature is 80℃, and printing speed is 10 mm / s. -1 The system is started, and the control unit drives the extrusion unit to extrude the liquid crystal dispersion at a constant rate through a flat needle. Under shear force, V2CT in the dispersion... x One-dimensional superlattices are arranged in a highly ordered manner along the extrusion direction. The extruded strip material is dried instantly on a heating plate (forming unit) at 80°C, solidifying to form a self-supporting film.

[0207] Post-processing: The obtained film was dried under vacuum at 80°C for 4 hours to obtain the final V2CT. x Non-van der Waals superlattice oriented thin films.

[0208] The system of this invention can successfully and efficiently process one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice dispersions into self-supporting films with high orientation and high conductivity.

The printing parameters are similar to those in Example 7, and by optimizing path planning and extrusion speed, the continuity and uniformity of material extrusion over the entire large area are ensured.

[0211] Example 9: Preparation and System of Sandwich Structure Electromagnetic Shielding Thin Film

[0212] This embodiment aims to illustrate that the system of the present invention can not only prepare single-oriented thin films, but also achieve the controllable construction of complex structure thin films by integrating traditional processes (such as vacuum filtration) and printing technology, thereby meeting specific high-performance application requirements. The steps include: First, vacuum-assisted filtration V2CT... x Superlattice dispersion (approximately 15 mg / mL) -1 A randomly oriented thin film (random layer) of approximately 20 μm thickness was prepared on the filter membrane. The filter membrane with the random layer was placed on the heating plate (forming unit) of the printing system. Following the method of Example 7, a V2CT layer was directly printed on the surface of the random layer. x The orientation layer of the superlattice. Using the aforementioned composite structure with random / oriented layers as a new filter, V2CT is filtered again with vacuum assistance. x Suspension (approximately 15 mg / mL) 1 A random layer of approximately 20 μm thickness was constructed on top of the oriented layer. The resulting "random layer / oriented layer / random layer" sandwich structure was then peeled off from the filter membrane and thoroughly dried in a vacuum drying oven at 80 °C.

[0213] Example 10: Multiple Applications and Uses

[0214] This embodiment provides various applications of one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice materials, including:

[0215] (1) Functional coating

[0216] The one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice material dispersion of the present invention (e.g., concentration of 1-50 mg / mL) -1 It is applied to the surface of various substrates (such as polymers, glass, metals, or textiles) by spraying, spin coating, or blade coating, and forms a strong conductive coating after drying. The one-dimensional coiled structure can overlap better, forming an effective conductive path even under low load. Compared with two-dimensional sheets, its coating is less prone to cracking and has stronger adhesion. It can be used to prepare antistatic coatings, transparent conductive films, electrothermal de-icing / defogging coatings, and electromagnetic shielding fabrics, etc.

[0217] (2) Three-dimensional porous foam

[0218] Directional freeze-drying technology is employed. The one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice material aqueous dispersion of this invention is injected into a mold and frozen in a specific direction under controlled low-temperature conditions. During this process, ice crystal growth repels and confines the one-dimensional superlattice within the gaps in the ice crystals, forming a directional pore wall structure. Subsequently, the ice crystals are removed by freeze-drying, yielding a three-dimensional foam with a directional porous structure. This foam possesses a highly interconnected porous network, with a porosity exceeding 99% and an extremely low density (<10 mg / cm³). -3 The one-dimensional coiled structure endows the foam with excellent resilience, allowing it to withstand significant compressive deformation and fully recover. Simultaneously, its conductive network remains stable under repeated deformation, achieving a conductivity of ~1 S cm⁻¹. -1 It can be used as a high-performance piezoresistive sensor, a high-efficiency oil-water separation material, or a lightweight broadband absorbing material.

[0219] (3) Polymer matrix composites

[0220] Composite materials are prepared by solution blending or melt blending of the one-dimensional non-van der Waals superlattice material powder of the present invention as a filler with a polymer matrix (such as epoxy resin, polydimethylsiloxane PDMS, polyvinyl alcohol PVA). The one-dimensional coiled structure effectively prevents its own surface stacking and is easier to disperse in the matrix. Its abundant functional groups (-OH, =O) on its surface can form strong interfacial interactions with the polymer molecular chains. In terms of performance improvement, a conductive percolation network can be formed even at extremely low filler content (e.g., 0.5 wt.%), transforming the insulating polymer into a conductor. The one-dimensional structure, as a nano-reinforcement, can effectively transfer stress, significantly improving the strength, modulus, and toughness of the composite material. The composite material simultaneously possesses the flexibility / processability of the matrix and the electrical / thermal functions of the superlattice. It can be used to manufacture electromagnetic interference resistant electronic packaging shells, high-strength, lightweight structural-functional integrated aerospace materials, and wear-resistant, conductive tires or conveyor belts, etc.
