One-dimensional CuO nanostructure arrays have been synthesized on Cu foil by a low-temperature wet chemical process. Different CuO nanostructures including nanorods with facet heads, nanorods with needle-like tips and nanotubes are shaped simply by varying the concentration of oxidant. Field emission measurements show that CuO nanorods with needle-like tips are of superior performance than other shapes, having a turn-on field of 3.5 V/m and a field enhancement factor of 2107. The good field emission performance is assigned to the sharp tips contributing to the high field enhancement effect and to the moderate density reducing the field screening effect.
