Field emission properties of flexible polyvinyl alcohol – carbon nanotubes nanocomposite emitter

Year: 2026

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Flexible field emitters based on polyvinyl alcohol– multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite film were fabricated via a simple, cost-effective chemical route. Three cathode configurations — Edge, Loop, and Flat — were investigated for field emission performance. The Flat configuration exhibited superior characteristics, achieving a turn-on field of 2.77 V/μm, a stable emission current of 3 mA at 4 V/μm. These results demonstrate the potential of solution-processed nanocomposite films for large-area flexible electron sources in vacuum nanoelectronic applications.
