The extensive use of wireless communication devices has resulted in severe electromagnetic interference (EMI), which has driven the need for advanced EMI shielding materials. In this study, a twin-coated skeleton hybrid aerogel was constructed from para-aramid nanofibers (p-ANFs), MXene (Ti₃C₂T_x) flakes, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) chains via a freeze-drying route. The robust chains of p-ANFs established a skeleton with a unique porous structure and reversible compressibility. The twin-coated cloth was composed of 28 wt% PEDOT:PSS and 20 wt% MXene, which endowed the PEDOT:PSS/MXene/p-ANFs hybrid aerogel with efficient EMI shielding properties. The shielding effectiveness (SE) and specific shielding effectiveness (SEE/t) in the X band (8.2–12.4 GHz) reached 41.27 dB and 3063.7 dB·cm²·g⁻¹, respectively. Interestingly, the EMI shielding capacity was controlled by the PEDOT:PSS and MXene contents and the PEDOT:PSS/MXene ratio. Moreover, the twin-coated hybrid aerogel exhibited outstanding compressive resilience, with a maximum compressive stress of 61.72 kPa under strain of 60% after 500 cycles. In addition, the relationship between the structure deformation and power coefficient of aerogels was constructed. Thus, this study provides a feasible route for fabricating aerogels with compressibility and efficient EMI shielding performance. Graphical Abstract

In this research, the effects of bamboo charcoal on soil contaminant accumulation, soil fertility and plant growth were investigated. The results indicated that sludge composted with bamboo charcoal (BCS) significantly increased plant growth and decreased the mobility of Zn, Cu and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), compared with the composted sludge without bamboo charcoal (CS), with lower absorption and less accumulation of contaminants by the plants. Concentrations of Cu in turfgrass treated with CS were 11.7–23.4% higher than those of turfgrass treated with BCS. Concentrations of Zn in turfgrass treated with CS were 14.2–25.9% higher than those of turfgrass treated with BCS. The concentration of Σ16PAHs (total contents of 16 PAHs that are listed by USEPA as priority pollutants for remediation based on their persistence and carcinogenic potential) in ryegrass grown in yellow loamy soil amended with CS was 680 μg kg⁻¹ and was higher than that of ryegrass treated with BCS (only 439 μg kg⁻¹). The biomass of fescue in BCS-treated soils increased by 13–16% compared with that of fescue in CS-treated soil. The biomass of ryegrass in BCS-treated soil was 20–27% higher than that in CS-treated soil. Chlorophyll content in turfgrass grown in CS-treated soil was lower than that in grass grown in BCS-treated soil. Compared with the control, chlorophyll contents in plants grown in soil with CS increased by about 13–22%, whereas those in plants grown in soil with BCS increased by about 20–32%.
