Enhanced field emission from ZnO nanotetrapods on a carbon nanofiber buffered Ag film by screen printing

Abstract: Field emission properties of screen-printed ZnO nanotetrapods on a carbon nanofiber buffered Ag electrode were studied. The turn-on electric field (at a current of 0.1 μA/cm2) and maximum emission current are 0.6 V/μm and 2.8 mA/cm2 (at a field of 2.2 V/μm), which were significantly improved compared to the control device made of ZnO nanotetrapods on Ag directly without a carbon nanofiber buffer. The improved field emission is due to the better contact (both mechanical and electrical) formed with a carbon nano… Show more

“…Some studies have addressed the enhancement of the FE factor by the addition of negative electron affinity; reduced the screening effect of ZnO nanostrature, and changed the work function [13,14]. Bae et al synthesized C-axis ZnO nanocones by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) on an Si substrate.…”

“…12 Tetrapod-shaped ZnO has been suggested to be a good absorber due to its unique structure. 13,14 There have been no reports on EM wave absorption using urchinlike materials. In addition to 1D nanostructures, such as ZnO nanotetrapods, 15 hierarchical amorphous TiO 2 nanocolumns, 16 and hierarchical microsphere/SWCNT composite arrays have been reported.…”
