Thermo-Chemo-Mechanically Robust, Multifunctional MXene/PVA/PAA-Hanji Textile with Energy Harvesting, EMI Shielding, Flame-Retardant, and Joule Heating Capabilities

초록

The rapid development of wearable electronics, personal mobile equipment, and Internet of Things systems demands smart textiles that integrate multiple functions with enhanced durability. Herein, the study reports robust and multifunctional textiles with energy harvesting, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, flame resistance, and Joule heating capabilities, fabricated by a facile yet effective integration method using the deposition of cross-linked MXene (Ti3C2Tx), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) onto traditional Korean paper, Hanji via vacuum filtration. Comprehensive analyses confirm robust cross-linking, structural integrity, and interface stability in the MXene/PVA/PAA-Hanji (MPP-H) textiles, which synergistically boost their multifunctional performance. The MPP-H textiles exhibit remarkable power generation lasting over 60 min with a power density of 102.2 mu W cm-3 and an energy density of 31.0 mWh cm-3 upon the application of 20 mu L of NaCl solution. The EMI shielding effectiveness (SE) per unit thickness in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz) is up to 437.6 dB mm-1, with the ratio of absorption to reflection reaching 4.5, outperforming existing EMI shielding materials. Superior thermo-chemo-mechanical properties (flame resistance, rapid Joule heating, durability, and washability) further demonstrate their versatile usability. The MPP-H enables diverse functionalities within a single, robust textile through a scalable fabrication method, offering transformative potential for wearable and mobility platforms. MXene/PVA/PAA-Hanji (MPP-H) composites are devised as multifunctional textiles. Energy harvesting function generates electrical power using human sweat and environmental humidity, while asymmetric features of MPP-H textiles enable superior electromagnetic interference shielding through absorption-driven mechanisms. Thermo-chemo-mechanical robustness of the MPP-H is demonstrated by superior flame resistance to protect the human body, rapid Joule heating capability for thermoregulation, and high durability with flexibility and washability. image
