Self-supporting carbon films were prepared from a carbonaceous material, nanohorns. Nanohorns are spherical particles built of sharp cones of a single graphene sheet. The films show good field emission characteristics due to the sharp horn-like structures, in particular a low turn-on field and good long-term stability.
