Description

A kind of preparation method of the carbon nano-tube array field emission cathode of carbon nano-particle cladding
Technical field
The present invention obtains state natural sciences fund youth fund funded projects (bullets 51302187).Obtain sky Jinshi City's application foundation subsidizes (bullets 14jczdjc32100) with cutting edge technology research plan key project;The invention belongs to Nano material preparation and application technical field, relates to the use of low-power plasma technique and prepares and a kind of have receiving of unique texture Rice material, and it is used for the preparation method of field electronic emitter part.
Background technology
Develop the focus that high performance filed emission cathode material is always recent researches, these materials are in New-generation vacuum Pipe, x-ray tube, Electronic Speculum electron gun, field emission flat show etc. that numerous areas all have a good application prospect.CNT It is exactly a kind of ideal filed emission cathode material.First, CNT is mainly by sp2Hydbridized carbon atoms form, and have non- Often good electric conductivity.Secondly, CNT also has the huge draw ratio that many one-dimensional, two-dimension nano materials hardly match, and makes Obtain electronics and can obtain great local electric field intensity (i.e. field enhancement factor is larger) at its Flied emission point, so that it is more easy to Overcome carbon nano tube surface potential barrier (escape work function) to escape in vacuum, this to obtain low unlatching field and threshold field and Big Flied emission electric current density is all very favorable.Compare the graphene-based field-transmitting cathode material obtaining extensive concern in recent years Material, the field-transmitting cathode with CNT as base has lower unlatching field, is typically less than 2 v/ μm, and the unlatching of Graphene Field is then commonly greater than 4 v/ μm.The feature of this low unlatching field is very important in actual applications, can pole significantly Reduce the running voltage of field-transmitting cathode.As can be seen here, further reduce the work electricity of carbon nanotube field emission cathode material , obtain bigger Flied emission electric current density, its practical value will be lifted.But, CNT is due to its own geometric shape Impact, field-electron emission occur mainly in radius of curvature less tip (more sharp), flat tube wall does not then almost have There is field-electron emission, i.e. the effect of external electric field is merely able in the sufficiently large local electric field of the most advanced and sophisticated formation of CNT, and electronics is at this Carbon nano tube surface potential barrier can be overcome to escape in the presence of planting big local electric field, but due to local electric field intensity on tube wall Not, field electronics can not escape.CNT is this only to be reduced to a great extent in the feature of most advanced and sophisticated launching site electronics The number of its effective field launch point, is unfavorable for the field-electron emission of high current density.If it is possible to by certain handss Section makes CNT in addition to tip, and also more new effective field launch points are it is possible to reduce carbon to a certain extent The unlatching field of nanotube and threshold field, and increase its Flied emission electric current density.
Field-transmitting cathode with CNT as base is one-dimensional due to it, and heat-delivery surface is relative to this two dimension of Graphene Material is little, is affected be more susceptible to Joule heat in emission process on the scene, particularly in the case of high current density Flied emission, A part of effective field launch point can burn because of a large amount of accumulation of Joule heat, and this will reduce cathode material to a certain extent Field-electron emission ability, that is, compared to this two-dimension nano materials of Graphene, its field emission stability is poor for CNT, this Significantly shortened the service life of CNT base field-transmitting cathode in actual applications.Research shows, at plasma Reason CNT can effectively remove those rich defects, contact unstable CNT, and these CNTs exactly field is sent out Be emitted through the principal element that journey midfield emission current declines, under action of plasma by removal undoubtedly will lift field-transmitting cathode The field emission stability of material.Additionally, long-time the high temperature anneal also can reduce rich defect carbon nanometer to a certain extent The quantity of pipe, so that the field-transmitting cathode with CNT as base has more preferable field emission stability.
As can be seen here, more effective field launch points are made it have by introducing technological means process CNT, to drop Low its is opened field and threshold field, is lifted its Flied emission electric current density, and this technological means can also lift it to a certain extent Field emission stability, the filed emission cathode material with CNT as base making prepared is had higher using value.
Content of the invention
It is an object of the invention to overcome the existing transmitting of the field-transmitting cathode effective field with CNT as base to count out less, Open the deficiency that field and threshold field are of a relatively high, Flied emission electric current density is relatively low, field emission stability is bad, using a kind of letter Single low-power plasma process processes carbon nano pipe array, provides and a kind of opens field and threshold field is low, Flied emission electric current is close The CNT base filed emission cathode material that degree is big, field emission stability is good.
The purpose of the present invention is reached by following measure:
A kind of preparation method of the carbon nano-tube array field emission cathode of carbon nano-particle cladding is it is characterised in that using penetrating Frequency technology produces hydrogen plasma to process the carbon nano pipe array of thermal chemical vapor deposition method preparation, adjusts radio-frequency power and is 30-50w, base reservoir temperature are 1000k, reative cell air pressure is 100pa, process time is 10-30 hour, finally obtain different-shape Carbon nano-particle cladding carbon nano-tube array field emission cathode material;Described carbon nano-particle refers to diameter and is generally The granule of 15-30 nanometer.
Carbon nano pipe array of the present invention can be prepared with traditional thermal chemical vapor deposition method it is also possible to other appoint The method of the array carbon nano tube prepared of meaning is preparing.
