We study the diffuse background free-free emission induced by dark matter halos. Since dark matter halos host ionized thermal plasma, they could be an essential source of cosmological free-free emission. We evaluate the global background intensity and the anisotropy of this free-free emission. We show that the dominant contribution comes from dark matter halos with a mass close to the Jeans mass,, around the redshift. Therefore, the intensity of the free-free emission is sensitive to the small-scale primordial curvature perturbations that form such small-mass dark matter halos. Although our obtained intensity of the global and anisotropic free-free emission is smaller than the 10% level of the free-free emission observed in the high galactic region, we find that the free-free emission signal is modified byeven in the parameter set of the spectral index and the running, which is consistent with the recent Planck result. Therefore, the measurement of the cosmological free-free signals has the potential to provide more stringent constraints on the abundance of small-mass dark matter halos and the curvature perturbations including the spectral index and the running, while carefully removing the Galactic free-free emission is required through the multifrequency radio observation or the cross-correlation study with the galaxy surveys or 21-cm intensity map.
