29. A reviewer pointed out that the emission current of our CNT array is small compared to some values in the literature. The magnitude of CNT emission current is strongly dependent on the number of CNTs in a unit area as well as on the electric conductivity of CNTs, which is a characteristic of a given CNT growth process. The main emphasis and the unique feature of our work are the cap opening of CNT arrays (and thus the enhancement in the field emission current), rather than the preparation of vertically aligned CNT arrays.
