Barium Depletion in Hollow Cathode Emitters [PDF]

open access: yes45th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit, 2009
Dispenser hollow cathodes rely on a consumable supply of Ba released by BaO-CaO-Al2O3 source material in the pores of a tungsten matrix to maintain a low work function surface. The examination of cathode emitters from long duration tests shows deposits of tungsten at the downstream end that appear to block the flow of Ba from the interior. In addition,

Precursor-template Strategy toward Hollow Nanostructured Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 Microspheres Cathode with Enhanced Electrochemical Performance

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2018
The hollow nanostructured Li(Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3)O2 (NCM) microspheres with low Li/Ni disorder were fabricated by precursor-template approach and investigated electrochemically as lithium ion batteries (LIBs) cathode. The as-obtained NCM microspheres cathode
