Abstract
While people enjoy the convenience of wireless communication and electronic technology, attention is also on the rise for sustainable electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and absorbing materials. However, traditional EMI shielding materials are mainly metal and synthetic polymer materials, which are usually non-degradable and difficult to recycle. So the development of environmentally friendly electromagnetic materials has become crucial. In this paper, the environment-friendly electromagnetic materials are classified into natural materials, renewable and degradable composites, polymer-based nanomaterials, and multifunctional composites. These materials are appreciated for their ability to filter EMI and absorb waves, making them valuable in fields such as 5G communications, aviation, and wearable technology. Furthermore, this study underlines the advantages of green preparation science and technology, which have a significantly lower environmental effect than traditional material preparation techniques. Despite these advancements, substantial challenges remain, including high production costs and a lack of knowledge of the underlying principles that govern material performance. Addressing these issues is critical to increasing material efficiency and economic feasibility. The paper suggests future research directions for establishing scalable, cost-effective production procedures and performing comprehensive studies to improve scientific understanding.
