After treatment, the turn-on voltage to produce field emission current of 10μA decreases from 4.2kV to 2. 7kV and the field emission current increases distinctly, but the stability falls off. Based on the Fowler-Nordheim plot, the values of the work function for the CNTs are calculated, which reveals that work function decreases after the electrochemical treatment. These results are attributed to the decrease of the work function of the carbon nanotubes.展开更多
