Controlled Core−Shell Structure for Efficiently Enhancing Field-Emission Properties of Organic−Inorganic Hybrid Nanorods

Controlled growth of organic−inorganic hybrid nanorods, through the incorporation of polythiophene (PTh) and cadmium sulfide (CdS), have been achieved by the growth processes of bottom-up and top-down, respectively. The subtly different structured (core−shell and segmented) nanorods show different field emission performances, which provide an effective route to tune the field emission property by tuning the subtle structure of hybrid materials.
