Background
The traditional hot cathode material adopts tungsten-thorium oxide material. The working characteristics are as follows: the working temperature is over 1800 ℃, and the thorium element has radioactivity. The rare earth molybdenum material is prepared by doping a certain amount of rare earth oxide in molybdenum and performing plastic processing, so that the excellent cathode material can be prepared, and has the characteristics of environment friendliness, high toughness and strong emission capability, and the working temperature is below 1500 ℃.
At present, the unit molybdenum lanthanum oxide material is researched at home and abroad. In a japanese patent (JP59-17954) it is mentioned that a lanthanum-molybdenum material is both a structural material and a thermionic emission material. The domestic Beijing industry university starts to comprehensively research the thermionic emission performance of the molybdenum lanthanum oxide material and the related mechanism problem thereof, and makes some progress in the aspects of material preparation, cathode structure and electron emission mechanism research. Their studies were published in the "journal of the university of Industrial Beijing" (volume 27, pp290-293, 2001).
Research on the preparation method of the molybdenum oxide powder is that Nie \31066ofBeijing university of industry, Keren and the like adopt a conventional doping method, namely molybdenum dioxide powder and a lanthanum nitrate solution in a certain proportion are mixed in a solid-liquid manner, stirred, sintered and ground. Reducing to form micron-sized rare earth molybdenum composite powder. The cathode material is prepared by conventional pressing and sintering (see patent CN 1360079A). The presence of nano lanthanum oxide was unexpectedly found in experiments, which were believed to be beneficial for hot cathode emission, but was not further investigated. The problem group of the teaching of the T-bit Jun in the great of the Western-Ann intersection has published the preparation of the nano-composite tungsten-thorium oxide material by the ball milling method on materials letters (pp 2776-2779 in 57 year 2003). The 0-3 type nanometer composite tungsten-thorium oxide is successfully prepared at home and abroad by a vacuum hot pressing method for the first time, the emission performance of the material is obviously improved compared with the conventional emission performance, and the nano rare earth oxide can obviously improve the emission performance of the material. However, iron impurities are inevitably introduced into the tungsten-thorium oxide prepared by the ball milling method, which affects further improvement of the emission performance of the cathode, reduces the processing performance of the material, increases the brittleness of the material, and the use of the material in vacuum is affected by low content of iron impurities.
