It is found that the alloying cataly droplets are located at the tip of ZnO nanograsses, impling the growth of ZnO nanograss array is a typical vapor- liquid- solid process. In the growth process, the higher ZnO concentration of the growth ambience is suggested to plays a crucial role for the formation of ZnO nanograsses. The luminescence spectrum prove that ZnO nanograss array has good crystallinity. The field emission property of as- prepared ZnO nanograss arrays are characterized. The low turn- on electronic field and the higher current density are achieved with ZnO nanograss arrays as the emitters. It was suggested that the morphology, structure and distribution density of ZnO nanograss arrays play a crucial role for its excellent field emission property. Key words: ZnO; Nanograss; Field emission 0 Introduction Recently, one-dimensional (1D) zinc oxide (ZnO) nanomaterials have attracted very great attention because of its particular properties and their potential applications in nanodevice fabrication [1]. Meanwhile, ZnO nanostructures are promising excellent field emission material due to their high mechanical stability, high aspect ratio, negative electron affinity and highly controllable morphology in various vacuum environments [2-5]. Recently, field- emission properties of various 1D ZnO nanostructures have been reported, such as well aligned ZnO nanowires [2], 1D micro- and nanostructures of ZnO [6], well aligned ZnO nanocones [7], tetrapod- like ZnO nanostructures[8]. These works reveals that the morphology and the alignment of nanostructures are the key factors that influe
