AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the previous research mainly focused on growing zinc oxide nanostructures on randomly oriented carbon nanotube (or carbon nanofiber) films, and the randomness of the orientation of carbon-based films will lead to poor uniformity in the morphology and size of field emitters. As a result, the emission current is small, the stability is poor, and the life is short.

Abstract

The invention discloses a zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire emitter growing on an aligned carbon nanotube (ACNT) array template, which comprises a conductive substrate and an ACNT array template, wherein the ACNT array template grows on the conductive substrate, and a ZnO nanowire emitter grows on the surface of the ACNT array template; and the length of the ZnO nanowire emitter is 100 nm-2 mu m. The growing method of the ACNT array template can be a thermal chemical vapor deposition method, a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method, and the like. According to the invention, based on the composite structure of ZnO nanowires and carbon nanotube arrays, the current emitting of the composite structure array becomes more uniform, thereby increasing the density and stability of the emitted current.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of a field emission element, in particular to a preparation method of a field emission cathode. Background technique [0002] The use of nano-zinc oxide materials in the field of field emission began at the beginning of this century, thanks to the continuous attempts of researchers to synthesize and apply new materials. Before zinc oxide was applied to field emission, many wide-bandgap semiconductor materials such as gallium nitride and aluminum nitride were tried for field emission, but they were not widely used due to various problems. Until a few years ago, some researchers turned their attention to zinc oxide materials with various structures, and a lot of research was devoted to the preparation methods and field emission properties of various zinc oxide structures, making zinc oxide another field after carbon nanotubes. The hotspot of launch material research. [0003] C. J. Lee et al. reported in 20...
