Aligned ultralong ZnO nanobelts with an average length of 3.3 mm and widths up to 6 μm (see figure) are synthesized on a metal substrate through a one‐step process. The nanobelts obtained from this molten‐salt‐assisted thermal evaporation route show an emission current density of 1 mA cm –2 at an electric field of 2.9 V μm –1 , resulting from their high field‐enhancement factor (1.4 × 10 4 ).
