Abstract

The invention relates to a photoelectric-effect ion source based on carbon nano-tubes. The ion source comprises an ultraviolet ray emitting device and a power source, wherein the anode of the power source is connected with a counter electrode; the cathode of the power source is connected with a carbon nano-tube electrode, the carbon nano-tube electrode comprises a carbon nano-tube layer and a substrate, the carbon nano-tube layer is opposite to the counter electrode, and a passage which is used for a sample to pass through is reserved between the carbon nano-tube layer and the counter electrode; and the ultraviolet ray emitting device irradiates the carbon nano-tube electrode. According to the ion source, ions are generated through the photoelectric effect on the carbon nano-tubes, the carbon nano-tubes are very low in light reflection coefficient and very high in light absorption efficiency, the electron emission is easier due to the unique one-dimensional structure of the carbon nano-tubes, and the carbon nano-tubes can be used in an atmospheric state, so that the problem in the prior art that the vacuum is required when the field-effect ion emission is carried out by using the carbon nano-tubes is solved, the range of use is expanded, and the use is more convenient.
