Highly efficient shielding materials with an excellent electromagnetic wave absorption have gained increased attention. A new design was used to provide cellulose paper with a high electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) and improve the absorption performance by constructing an asymmetry sandwich structure that consisted of a dense nickel coating, Fe3O4 nanoparticles and a porous nickel layer. This unique structure caused a "multiple reflection-absorb-reflection" process when the electromagnetic waves penetrated the sample. The EMI absorption (SEA) and total SE (SET) increased with Fe3O4 absorption time increasing at 8.2-12.4 GHz, which was attributed to the synergistic effect between porous nickel layer and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The SEA and SET of the sample with a thickness of 0.195 mm can achieved 18.57 and 41.88 dB, respectively. The design was conducive to improving the magnetic and corrosion resistance properties. This study provided a novel path to obtain a low cost and lightweight electromagnetic shielding material that can reduce secondary radiation.
