Abstract: Increasingly sophisticated high degree of freedom wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies enable the contactless power transmission era. WPT efficiency and security are urgent development needs. Electromagnetic shielding technology offers promising prospects, simultaneously improving magnetic flux leakage safety and of WPT system transmission performance. This paper comprehensively reviews the research status and development prospects of electromagnetic shielding technology in magnetic coupling resonant WPT (MCRWPT) systems. We explore electromagnetic shielding scientific problem theories, methods, and unresolved issues, providing development suggestions aligned with current application needs to solve key WPT electromagnetic shielding technology problems. Reviewing MCRWPT electromagnetic shielding technology provides guidance and references for its research and development.
