Cover Story: MXene is a promising candidate for the next generation of lightweight electromagnetic interference (EMI) materials owing to its low density, excellent conductivity, etc. However, MXene lacks interlayer support and tends to agglomerate, leading to a shorter service life and limiting its development in thin-layer electromagnetic shielding material. We designed self-assembled TiO2-Ti3C2Tx materials with a ball–plate structure to mitigate agglomeration and obtain thin-layer and multiple absorption porous materials for high-efficiency EMI shielding. Research results demonstrated that the ball–plate structure generates additional interlayer cavities and an internal interface, increasing the propagation path for an electromagnetic wave, which, in turn, raises the capacity of materials to absorb and dissipate the wave. These effects improve the overall EMI shielding performance of MXene. View this paper
