can aluminum foils increase the boost the range of nfc reader?
I would like to know if the same trick can work with NFC readers


No the same trick cannot work with near-field tags using aluminium foil. Aluminium foil placed close to the tag will act as a partially shorted turn of wire and reduce the magnetic field due to eddy current losses in the aluminium.

However, you can purchase rubberized ferrite sheets that can offer some improvement. They would normally be placed behind the tag thus attracting a higher density magnetic field to pass through the tag.
