Abstract

The results of electron field emission from single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) mats deposited on different composite films of SWCNTs and poly(3-octylthiophene) (P3OT) semiconducting polymer are presented. Three different structures were tested: (a) dense and sparse SWCNT mats on n+-Si; (b) SWCNT mats on composite films with different SWCNT-P3OT ratios; (c) composite films with different SWCNT-P3OT ratios on n+-Si. The experiments show that there is a critical SWCNT-P3OT concentration in which the field emission stability of SWCNT mats is remarkably improved with a small reduction in the emission threshold compared to the optimum pristine SWCNT film. The contribution of the composite film morphology as well as the role of polymer–nanotube interaction on the emission performance are evaluated. The physical mechanism behind the stability of composite field emitters is also discussed.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
