The rise of electronic devices has heightened the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI), disrupting signals, reducing reliability and raising safety concerns. Conventional EMI absorbing materials are often expensive, heavy, and difficult to recycle. This study explores the use of carbon rods from electronic waste batteries as functional EMI absorber and catalyst to grow Carbon nanotubes (CNT). This is to enhance their properties and making them competitive with conventional absorbing materials. Additionally, 3D printing techniques were used to create customizable absorber geometries. The dual approach of addressing both environmental and technological challenges underscores the potential of recycled carbon-based materials in next-generation EMI management solutions.
