“Background Carbon nanotube (CNT) is one of the most promising materials for a field emitter due to its remarkable electrical conductivity, chemical and mechanical stability, and characteristics having unique structures such as high aspect ratio [1–5]. Many researches have been highly devoted to developing a practical application for the commercialization of field emitter, but there are still some problems to be solved such as the lifetime of the emitter [6–10]. There are many factors that affect the emitter lifetime AZD9291 supplier working in a state of vacuum. Among them, outgassing generated during emission is inarguably one of the most critical factors [11–13]. Especially, some organic binders can still remain after firing when the multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) emitter is made in paste and be the source to release gas in the vacuum panel. The outgassing can give a severe damage to the vacuum microelectronic device by electrical arcing and ion bombardment onto a cathode or an anode. In addition to the physical damages, some gases can cause chemical etching to the MWCNT emitter.
