Abstract: 

The analysis of papers devoted to study of the emission properties of the carbon nanotubes and to revealing ways for the control of these properties has been performed. Five main methods for enhancing emissive ability of the carbon nanotubes have been singled out.

Key words: 
carbon nanotube
cathodes
emissive ability
work function
synthesizing
plasma
doping
