Lanthanum Boride LaB6 CAS 12008-21-8 For High-power Electronic Tube Material

Lanthanum hexaboride powder, referred to as lanthanum boride, chemical formula LaB6, is a purple powder material, insoluble in water and hydrochloric acid. It has high melting point, high strength, high stability and excellent thermal electron emission performance, so it is widely used. In radar, aerospace, electronics and other fields, lanthanum hexaboride powder is an ideal material for making high-power electronic tubes, magnetrons, electron beams and other equipment. In addition, nanoscale lanthanum hexaboride powder is also used in polyethylene film and window glass nano-coating, which can effectively isolate infrared ray and regulate indoor temperature.

Description

Lanthanum hexaborate is a dark purple powder, which is difficult to dissolve in water and hydrochloric acid. In terms of chemical composition, lanthanum borate belongs to inorganic non-metallic materials, and in terms of material properties, it belongs to non oxygen metal refractory compounds. At room temperature, lanthanum hexaborate products have three forms: powder, polycrystal and monocrystal. At present, the preparation of lanthanum hexaborate is generally by boron carbide thermal reduction method, and the reaction formula is La2O3 + 3B4C--2LaB6 + 3CO; because of the introduction of boron carbide as the reaction raw material, the carbon content of the product is difficult to control, and because of the high hardness and large particle size of boron carbide, it is easy to produce the phenomenon of uneven mixture, which makes the chemical composition of the product deviate.
