Poly-copper tetraaminophthalocyanine (CuTAPc) nanowires and nanotubes were successfully fabricated on porous anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) templates by electropolymerization and characterized. The product of electropolymerization, whether as nanowires or nanotubes, is a function of the monomer concentration and template pore size. The morphology and field emission properties of these nanostructures were studied for investigation of potential application as field emitters. They show interesting turn-on field, maximum current density and enhancement factor, comparable to many other organic nanomaterials.
