Abstract

Herein, UV/O3 treatment was imposed on the hydrothermally synthesized spinel NiCo2O4 urchin like structure to study its enhancement effect in the field electron emission properties.

Highlights

  • X-ray tubes,[3] RF amplification, and field emission displays.[4,5] The extraction of an appreciable field emission current at a low applied electric field is technologically important for field emission devices

  • The UV/O3 treatment leads to a rearrangement of the electronic charges near the O vacancy leading to a reduction in the work function which justifies the improved field emission properties after UV/O3 treatment

  • Using extensive Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, we have studied the modifications in electronic properties of spinel NiCo2O4 due to the introduction of O vacancy as a result of UV/O3 treatment
