Lightweight conductive polymer composites based on biomass could be a promising candidate for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding application. Herein, tailoring porous microstructure and regulating the distribution of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in cellulose composites are attempts to achieve highly efficient EMI shielding properties accompanying desired mechanical property and low density. Specifically, aligned porous structure is fabricated by ice-template freeze-drying method; meanwhile, CNT is regulated to decorate inside the cellulose matrix (CNT-matrix/cellulose porous composites) or to directly bind over the cellulose cell walls (CNT-interface/cellulose porous composites). It is found that, owing to the preferential distribution of CNT on the cell walls, the CNT-interface/cellulose porous composites possess a very high electrical conductivity of 38.9 S m–1with an extremely low percolation threshold of 0.0083 vol % with regard to CNT-matrix/cellulose porous composites. Therefore, a shielding effectiveness of 40 dB with merely 0.51 vol % CNT under a thickness of 2.5 mm is achieved in CNT-interface/cellulose porous composites, which is attributed to efficient multiple reflections and the accompanying absorption with promoted conductivity and better-defined porous structure. More laudably, the CNT-interface/cellulose porous composites reveal a superior mechanical property with a specific modulus of 279 MPa g–1cm3. The value behind the current work is to pave an effective way to fabricate environmentally benign, high-performance EMI shielding materials to practically boost numerous advanced applications of cellulose.
