A　simple　solution　chemical　route　for　bulk　synthesis　of　hand-like　Bi(2)O(3)　microcrystals　has　been　demonstrated.　The　microcrystals　are　assembled　by　several　short　rods　that　have　a　diameter　in　the　range　of　50-500　nm,　and　a　length　in　the　range　of　1-20　mu　m.　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD)　analysis　and　scanning　electron　microscopy　(SEM)　were　employed　to　characterize　the　structure　and　morphology　of　these　novel　structures.　The　field　emission　of　the　sample　started　at　a　turn-on　field　of　2.1　V/mu　m　at　a　current　density　of　0.1　mu　A/cm(2),　while　the　emission　current　density　reached　about　0.1mA/cm(2)　at　an　applied　field　of　5.5　V/mu　m.　These　results　suggest　that　hand-like　Bi(2)O(3)　microcrystals　can　be　an　excellent　FE　material　candidate.
