In this study, vertical N-doped carbon nanotube (VNCNT) arrays were decorated with Au, Ru, or Mn nanoparticles, and the effects of the particles on the field-emission properties were investigated. The surfaces of the VNCNT arrays were subsequently decorated with metal particles, and the vertical alignment of the NCNT arrays was maintained by high-vacuum annealing. Our results revealed that the field-emission properties of VNCNT arrays may be tuned by decoration with metal particles and that particle decoration with a low-work-function material may be used to develop efficient field emitters. |
