摘要：SummaryNumerous voids among the incompact layer-structure of MXene films result in their low ambient stability and poor innate conductivity for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Herein, we report a bridging-sheet-size-controlled densification process of MXene films by applying graphene oxide (GO) as a bridging agent. Specifically, the sheet size of GO is tailored to quantify a negative correlation of sheet size with densification for directing the preparation of most compact MXene-GO films. Benefiting from the shortest electron-transport-distance in the most compact structure, the conductivity of the MXene-GO film achieves 1.7 times (∼1.6 × 105S/m) that of MXene film. The EMI shielding performance (5.2 × 106dB/m) reaches the record-value among reported MXene films at 10 μm-scale thickness. Moreover, the compact structure boosts the ambient stability of MXene-GO films where the conductivity and EMI shielding performance remain 88.7% and 90.0% after 15 days, respectively. The findings rationale the structure-activity relationship of compact MXene films for flexible electronics.Graphical abstractDisplay OmittedHighlights•Densification of MXene films is controlled by a bridging-sheet-size strategy•Shortening electron-transport-distance in compact structure improves conductivity•Control of densification delivers high EMI shielding performance and air stabilityNanomaterial synthesis; Materials science; Nanotechnology
