The rapid development of modern electronics packed with highly integrated circuits generates severe electromagnetic radiation, which leads to harmful effects on highly sensitive precision electronic equipment as well as the living environment for human beings. Great effort has been made for the development of high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. In addition to high EMI shielding performance, being lightweight and flexible are two other important technical requirements for effective and practical EMI shielding applications especially in areas of aircraft, aerospace, automobiles, and fast-growing next-generation flexible electronics such as portable electronics and wearable devices.[1] Recently, electrically conductive polymer composites have received much attention for EMI shielding applications,[1–12] because of their light weight, resistance to corrosion, flexibility, good processability, and low cost compared to the conventional metal-based materials. The EMI shielding effectiveness of the polymer composites depends critically on the intrinsic electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, magnetic permeability, aspect ratio, and content of conductive fillers.[1–12] It is believed that high electrical conductivity and connectivity of the conductive fillers can improve EMI shielding performance.[1, 2, 4, 7, 8]Many carbon-based materials including carbon filaments, carbon fibers, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and chemically derived graphene (CDG) have been used as conductive fillers to fabricate composite materials for EMI shielding because of their high electrical conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, light weight, flexibility, and large aspect ratio.[1–12] However, in these polymer composites, individual conductive carbon-based fillers are randomly distributed inside the polymer matrix and are surrounded by the molecular chains of the polymer, and the electrical conductivity of these composites strongly relies on electron percolation between the separated filler particles. As a result, a high content and good dispersion of carbon-based fillers are usually required to form a conductive interconnected network in the insulating polymer matrix to improve the electrical conductivity and EMI shielding effectiveness of the composites. For example, it has been demonstrated that 7 wt% multi-walled CNTs,[1] 15 wt% single-walled
