Graphical Abstract

The graphene-wrapped multiloculated nickel ferrite contains multiple electromagnetic loss mechanisms such as conduction loss, dielectric loss, magnetic loss, multiple reflections and scattering. Regulating the filled concentration can switch the highly efficient multifunction efficient electromagnetic (EM) absorption and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance.

Abstract

Dedicating to the exploration of efficient electromagnetic (EM) absorption and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials is the main strategy to solve the EM radiation issues. The development of multifunction EM attenuation materials that are compatible together EM absorption and EMI shielding properties is deserved our exploration and study. Here, the graphene-wrapped multiloculated NiFe2O4 composites are reported as multifunction EM absorbing and EMI shielding materials. The conductive networks configurated by the overlapping flexible graphene promote the riched polarization genes, as well as electron transmission paths, and thus optimize the dielectric constant of the composites. Meanwhile, the introduction of magnetic NiFe2O4 further establishes the magnetic-dielectric synergy effect. The abundant non-homogeneous interfaces not only generate effective interfacial polarization, also the deliberate multiloculated structure of NiFe2O4 strengthens multi-scattering and multi-reflection sites to expand the transmission path of EM waves. As it turns out, the best impedance matching is matched at a lower filled concentration to achieve the strongest reflection loss value of −48.1 dB. Simultaneously, green EMI shielding based on a predominantly EM absorption and dissipation is achieved by an enlargement of the filled concentration, which is helpful to reduce the secondary EM wave reflection pollution to the environment. In addition, the electrocatalytic properties are further examined. The graphene-wrapped multiloculated NiFe2O4 shows the well electrocatalytic activity as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is mainly attributed to the interconnected structures formed by graphene and NiFe2O4 connection. The structural advantages of multiloculated NiFe2O4 expose more active sites, which plays an important role in optimizing catalytic reactions. This work provides an excellent jumping-off point for the development of multifunction EM absorbing materials, eco-friendliness EMI shielding materials and electrocatalysts.
