Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a novel thermal electron emission device technology, which belongs to the technical field of thermoelectric energy conversion. Background technique
[0002] Thermionic emission device is a device that directly converts thermal energy into electrical energy by using thermionic emission phenomenon, and is currently the energy converter with the highest static thermoelectric conversion efficiency. In a thermionic emission device, metals or alloys such as tungsten and molybdenum are generally used as emitters and receivers to generate thermal electrons by means of thermal emission. In a thermionic emission device, the electrode materials of the emitter and the receiver have a great influence on the thermoelectric conversion efficiency. For thermionic emission materials to have good emission performance, the materials need to have a low work function. The smaller the work function, the better the effect of thermionic emission. [...
