Fabrication of Flexible Carbon Nanotube Field Emitter Arrays by Direct Microwave Irradiation on Organic Polymer Substrate

Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were directly synthesized on flexible polymer substrates without damage of polymer by microwave irradiation. Cobalt was used as the catalysts, and the synthesis was done in the atmospheric pressure with an acetylene carbon source. Only 5 s was required for the synthesis of well-graphitized CNTs. Field emission measurements revealed that this flexible CNT field emitter array has a great potential for the flexible field emission displays (FEDs).

“…Our group has described the fabrication of a variety of materials, such as carbon nanotubes on organic polymer substrates [10,11] or on activated carbon fibers (ACFs) [12], Cr nanowires [13], zinc oxide nanostructures [14], and zinc aluminum layered double hydroxide nanoplates [15], by applying microwave radiation to vapor-solid reactants or solutions. Microwave heating is a promising preparation method that may resolve the problems arising from conventional synthesis methods [16][17][18].…”

“…Growing interest has been received for emissive polymeric materials in the past decades as the rapidly increasing large demands in daily lives and modern technologies . Emissive polymers are famous for several advantages over conventional inorganic emitters, such as excellent flexibility, convenient processability, low cost, and high stability . To date, the most investigated emissive polymeric materials are conjugated organic polymers, which have been broadly utilized in batteries, sensors, and flexible light emitting devices (LEDs) .…”
