Silver nanoparticles were formed on carbon nanotubes through infrared irradiation, leading to enhanced field emission characteristics. The size of nanoparticles could be controlled, and at a certain silver loading rate, the current exhibited longer duration under specific current densities.
Silver (Ag) nanoparticles decorated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were rapidly formed by the photothermal heating provided by infrared (IR) irradiation. The method was implemented without any solvent, reductants and applied current. By optimizing the amount of precursors and photothermal heating time, the size of the silver nanoparticles could also be controlled. After decoration of the silver nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes, the field emission characteristics were noted to be enhanced, while the turn-on electric field (at the current density of 10 mu A/cm(2)) and threshold electric field (at the current density of 1 mA/cm(2)) decreased. At 10% mol Ag loading, the current did not exhibit decay for four hours at the current density of 1 mA/cm(2). (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V.
