Cerium Boride, also called Cerium hexaboride, is one of the rare earth borides, the molecular formula is CeB6. Stanford Materials Corporation (SMC) supplies our customers with high-quality Cerium Hexaboride ceramic powder (CeB6 ceramic).
Cerium hexaboride is a rare earth boride. It has a relatively low work function that is about 2.5 eV, so decide it is a cathode material of extremely high electron emissivity. It is also a refractory ceramic material. Cerium boride is stable in a vacuum. CeB6 is dense Kondo-like behavior. It has better resistance to carbon pollution and longer life than the lanthanum boride cathode. Its working temperature is 1450℃ usually. Cerium hexaboride like LaB6 will slowly evaporate at the working period. Cerium boride is insoluble in water. Cerium hexaboride mainly uses for a coating of hot cathodes, or cerium boride crystal makes up hot cathodes directly.
