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  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/hydrothermal-synthesis-rgo-pbbi2se4-composite-and-investigation-its-structural-chemical-and
