Electromagnetic (EM) pollution has become a serious problem in modern society as it affects human lives. The fabrication of strong and highly flexible materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications is extremely urgent. Herein, a MXene Ti3C2Tx/Fe3O4 & bacterial cellulose (BC)/Fe3O4&Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) flexible hydrophobic electromagnetic shielding film (SBTFX-Y, X and Y were the number of layers of BC/Fe3O4 and the layers of Ti3C2Tx/Fe3O4), was fabricated. In the prepared film, MXene Ti3C2Tx absorbs a large amount of radio waves through polarization relaxation and conduction loss. Because of its extremely low reflectance of electromagnetic waves, BC@Fe3O4, as the outermost layer of the material, allows more electromagnetic waves to incident inside the material. The maximum electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding efficiency (SE) of 68 dB was achieved for the composite film at 45 μm thickness. What's more, the SBTFX-Y films show excellent mechanical properties, hydrophobicity and flexibility. The unique stratified structure of the film provides a new strategy for designing high-performance EMI shielding films with excellent surface and mechanical properties.
