The turn-on field required to draw emission current densities of 1 and 10 mu A/cm(2) were 4 and 5.01 V/mu m, respectively. The observed turn-on field values are attributed to the high field enhancement factor (ca. 2500), which is due to presence of sharp protrusions in the VS2 nanosheets. Furthermore, the field-emission current stability of the VS2 emitter shows stable behavior over a period of 12 h. Further, DFT calculations show that the work function (f) of the single-layer VS2 emitter is 6.01 eV.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2.942</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
