Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, limited by the preparation process, the above two methods have some inherent defects caused by the surface binding characteristics:
[0006] 2) Multiple contacts between CNTs and transition metals or cured materials are sources of heat dissipation, which will not only reduce the electrical conductivity of the device, but energy dissipation will also increase the local temperature and accelerate the aging of the CNT film;
Under the impact of different thermal environments during long-term work, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient, the junction between the transition metal (cured material) and the substrate may be dislocated, causing the CNT film to fall off, affecting the life and vacuum performance

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for directly growing a carbon nano tube field emission cathode on a metal substrate containing nickel. The method is characterized by including the steps of firstly, performing chemical and ultrasonic cleaning on the metal substrate containing nickel; secondly, anodizing the metal substrate containing nickel; thirdly, directly performing chemical gas-phase reaction growth of a carbon nano tube on the metal substrate containing nickel. The method has the advantages that under the process condition of the method, the CNT (carbon nano tube) directly grows from a metal body, the combining performance of the CNT and the substrate is enhanced, and the mechanical performance of the CNT is improved; experimental results indicate that the field emission performance of the carbon nano tube field emission cathode produced by the method is increased evidently.
