Abstract:
[Ca24Al28O64](4+):4e(-)(C12A7:e(-)) is a new cathode material with low working temperature and low work function, and its unique cage structure attracts attention of researchers. In this work, the Sr doped (C(1-x)S(x))12A7:e(-)(0 <= x <= 0.05) were prepared by high temperature solid phase reaction combined with spark plasma sintering (SPS), and the electron compound (Ca1-xSrx )12A7:e(-) was successfully obtained by reduction of Ti particles at 1100 degrees C for 20 h. The first principle calculations for electronic structure show that Sr doping changes the band structure of C12A7:e(-), the Framework Conduction Band (FCB) decreases to 0.3 eV, benefits the electrical properties of (Ca1-xSrx)12A7:e(-). The total density of states (DOS) of (Ca1-xSrx)12A7:e(-) near the Fermi energy level is increased. The electrical transport characteristics test results show that the (Ca0.96Sr0.04)12A7:e(-) has the highest conductivity 1136 S/cm and carrier concentration (2.13 +/- 0.11)x10(21) cm(-3), indicating that Sr doping is benefical for reducing the preparation time of mayenite electride. The thermionic emission performance test results show that Sr doping significantly increases the emission current density and effectively reduces the average effective work function. The (Ca0.96Sr0.04)12A7:e(-) has the best emission performance, and the emission current density reaches 1.45 A/cm(2) at 1100 degrees C and a anode voltage of 3500 V. The Zero field emission current density is 0.74 A/cm(2), and the Richardson work function reduces from 2.01 eV (un-doped) to 1.86 eV.
