Abstract

With the rapid development of communication and microelectronics technology， electromagnetic wave pollution has become an important issue affecting human health and the performance of microelectronic devices. Copper sulfide， as an important P-type semiconductor chalcogenide material， has become a research hotspot in the field of electromagnetic shielding materials in recent years due to its high carrier concentration， strong electronic polarization relaxation ability， excellent optoelectronic properties， and special nanostructure. This article will provide a tutorial review of the preparation of copper sulfide and copper sulfide based composite materials， as well as their latest application progress in the field of electromagnetic shielding materials.
