Introduction and characteristics of lanthanum hexaborate
Release time:
2023-01-04
Lanthanum hexaborate, abbreviated as lanthanum borate, with molecular formula LaB6, is a purple powder that is difficult to dissolve in water and hydrochloric acid. It has a wide range of uses and has been successfully applied in more than 20 military and high-tech fields such as radar, aerospace, electronic industry, instrumentation, medical equipment, home appliance metallurgy, and environmental protection. Its series of products mainly include three types of powders, polycrystalline, and monocrystalline. Especially lanthanum hexaborate single crystal is a material used for producing high-power electron tubes, magnetrons, electron beams, ion beams, and accelerator cathodes. Since the B6 octahedral network needs two electrons to stabilize its structure, the three valence electron of La will have one rich, and LaB6 behaves as a metal conductor. The surface plasmon resonance absorption of metal conductor LaB6 nanomaterials is around 1000nm, which can compensate for the poor barrier effect of infrared barrier materials such as ITO (indium tin oxide) in the near-infrared region, making LaB6 an important infrared barrier material. Due to the strong covalent bond between B atoms in LaB6 structure, it forms a tight spatial network, which makes it have the characteristics of low volatility, low work function, high melting point, high strength and high stability.
