Abstract

356,395. Photo-electric cells. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPEN-FABRIEKEN, 13D, Emmasingel, Eindhoven, Holland. July 22. 1930, No. 22105. Convention date, Feb. 25. [Class 39 (i).] The photo-electric electrode contains an alkali metal deposited on an oxide of an alkali metal having a composition R2O where R is the metal. A layer of silver is deposited on the envelope by volatilizing a strip of silver short-circuinting the leads of a ring-shaped anode ; caesium is introduced into the envelope and deposits on the silver layer. Oxygen is then admitted to oxidize the caesium forming Cs2O4. A further quantity of caesium is admitted so as to reduce this oxide to Cs2O, the reduction being assisted by heating at 200‹ C. ; the caesium is partly adsorbed in the oxide layer and excess is removed by a getter or pump. Alternatively Cs2O may be placed on the anode and volatilized by heating at 230‹ C. Calcium fluoride may be placed on the layer of silver to improve the adherence of the oxide. A mixture of one part of caesium chromate and 2 parts of zirconium may be heated to 725‹ C. to produce caesium and caesium oxide which are deposited on the silver layer, excess caesium being deposited on the mixture. Specifications 319,650, 323,718, and 332,002, [all in Class 39 (i), Electric lamps, Arc &c.], are referred to.
