Abstract:
TiO2 nanotube arrays were fabricated by anodic oxidation of pure Ti plate in the HF solution. The impacts of the growth conditions on the microstructures and field emission characteristics of the TiO2 nanotube arrays were evaluated. The arrays were characterized with field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that the anodization voltage strongly affects the microstructures and emission properties of the TiO2 nano-tube arrays. For example, as the anodization voltage increased, its emission on-set voltage varied in a decrease-increase mode; and the tube diameter and length increased with little change in its wall thickness. The arrays, anodized at 10 V, were found to have the lowest onset field, 3.15 V/μm; and an emission current density of 0.85 mA/cm2, when biased at 8 V/μm. Moreover, high emission stability for at least 6 h was observed.
