Formation of pristine PbBi2Se4 and rGO-PbBi2Se4 composite were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The surface morphology and topography investigated by using scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed the formation of nano-flowers pristine PbBi2Se4. After coupling pristine PbBi2Se4 with rGO the surface morphology shows the formation of sharp vertically protruded nano-sheets/nano-flaks originated from the nano-flowers. Finally, the field emission properties of pristine PbBi2Se4 and rGO-PbBi2Se4 composite have been investigated. It has been observed that the rGO-PbBi2Se4 composite emitter exhibited excellent field emission properties with low turn-on field (similar to 2.8 V/A mu m for 10 A mu A/cm(2)), high emission current density (similar to 1288 A mu A/cm(2) at 3.9 V/A mu m) and superior current stability (similar to 4.5 h for similar to 1 A mu A) compare to pristine PbBi2Se4 emitter. Thus, the facile one step synthesis approach and robust nature of rGO-PbBi2Se4 composite emitter can provide prospects for the future development of large-area emitter applications such as flat-panel-display and vacuum micro/nanoelectronics devices.1 aAher, Rahul1 aBhorde, Ajinkya1 aSharma, Priyanka1 aNair, Shruthi1 aBorate, Haribhau1 aPandharkar, Subhash1 aRondiya, Sachin1 aChaudhary, Minakshi1 aGopinath, Chinnakonda1 aSuryawanshi, Sachin1 aMore, Mahendra1 aJadkar, Sandesh  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/hydrothermal-synthesis-rgo-pbbi2se4-composite-and-investigation-its-structural-chemical-and02352nas a2200241   4500008004100000022001400041245009800055210006900153260000900222300001100231490000800242520156000250653002101810653002001831653001901851653001801870653000801888100002401896700001801920700002401938700002301962856012501985       2022                        eng d  a0925-838800aFacile synthesis of nanocomposites of CNF-Sn and C-Sn microspheres: Prospective field emitter0 aFacile synthesis of nanocomposites of CNFSn and CSn microspheres  cJUN   a1643180 v9073 a<p>
	We report synthesis of Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and hybrid nanocomposites namely, CNF-Sn and C-Sn microspheres using simple electrospinning technique, followed by annealing in controlled atmosphere. The as-prepared materials were characterized using X-raydiffraction (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and Raman spectroscopy to reveal their physico-chemical properties. As carbon family members are potential materials for field emission (FE) based applications, owing to their high aspect ratio FE characteristics of the synthesized materials were explored at base pressure of 1 x 10(-8) mbar. Interestingly, the hybrid nanocomposite CNF-Sn and C-Sn emitters showed improved FE behavior (with the turn-on field of 3.4 and 1.36 V/mu m, respectively) in contrast to the pristine CNFs emitter (turn-on field of 5.4 V/mu m). Furthermore, the maximum emission current density is substantially enhanced, 7.75 and 4.6 mA/cm(2) for CNF-Sn and C-Sn emitters, respectively. The improvement in the FE behavior of nanocomposite emitters is attributed to the combined effect of morphology and modulation of electronic properties at the interface of nanocomposites. The results confirm that FE characteristics of pristine nanostructures can be greatly improved upon formation of their nanocomposites and this approach can be extended to other nanostructures for improving their multi-functionalities.
