Carbon nanotube field emitter and preparation method thereof

Abstract

A method for making a carbon nanotube field emitter is provided. A carbon nanotube film is dealed with a carbon nanotube film in a circumstance with a temperature ranged from 1400 to 1800° C. and a pressure ranged from 40 to 60 MPa to form at least one first carbon nanotube structure. The at least one first carbon nanotube structure is heated to graphitize the at least one first carbon nanotube structure to form at least one second carbon nanotube structure. At least two electrodes is welded to fix one end of the at least one second carbon nanotube structure between adjacent two electrodes to form a field emission preparation body. The field emission preparation body has a emission end. The emission end is bonded to form a carbon nanotube field emitter.
