Abstract
Large scale, uniform single-layer graphene was transferred onto well-aligned ZnO nanowire arrays to produce high density nanoscale protrusions within graphene for efficient field emission. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was used as a supporting layer to provide a quasi-flat surface for graphene transfer. Highly efficient (maximum current density of ∼500 μA/cm2) and stable field emission with low turn-on fields (5.4 V/μm) was observed due to highly localized electric field, which is much better than those without using PMMA. F-N plot showed an unique up-bending feature of single-layer graphene. Our approach provides an efficient way to produce high quality single-layer graphene field emitters.
