The compound calcium hexaboride, also known as calcium boride or calcium hexaboride, is composed of calcium and boran with the chemical formula CAB6. It is important due to the high electrical conductivity of this material, as well as its hardness, chemical stability and melting point. Purity: 99.5%

The following is a list of the most recent articles about Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder:
Calcium hexaboride The following are some examples of how to use Borate of calcium Calcium and Boron is a chemical compound. Calcium Boride Chemical Formula CaB6 is an important material. CaB6 is an important chemical material because of its high conductivity, hardness and chemical stability. Calcium boride powder This is a dense, black, glossy powder. It has a typical cube structure with six boron and six calcium atoms in octahedral unit.
CaB6 It has been studied in the past because of its unique physical properties. These include superconductivity. CaB6 has a remarkable ferromagnetism. It is a rare phenomenon that occurs at high temperatures of 600K and with low magnetic moments. The high-temperature ferromagnetism may be due to the ferromagnetic phases of dilute electron gases, the assumed excitonic state of calcium boride and/or external impurities. Iron and nickel impurities are possible, which probably come from the impurities of the boron used in preparing the sample.
CaB6 Calcium Boride Insoluble in H2O (water), MeOH (methanol), EtOH (ethanol), and slowly dissolves in acids. Its microhardness, Knoop-hardness, Young modulus, and electrical resistance are all greater than 2*1010 O*m. CaB6 is an electronic semiconductor With an estimated energy gap of 1.0 eV. Many CaB6 sample's low semi-metallic resistance can be explained by the unintentional contamination of impurities, and possibly non-stoichiometry.

Product Performance of CaB6 Calcium Hexaboride Powder

It is also characterized by high hardness and melting point. Its chemical and physical properties are very stable. CaB6 sub-microns are not easily oxidized when they are calcined. CaB6 does not dissolve in hydrochloric or sulfuric acids. Nitric acid is the only way to remove impurities.

What is Calcium Hexaboride CaB6 Powder ?
One of the major reactions of industrial production:
CaO + B2O3 + 10 mg-CaB6 + MgO
CaB6 powder can be made in a variety of ways.

The reaction between calcium or calcium oxidide and boron occurs at 1000degC.
Ca + 6B-CaB6
Under vacuum, the reaction of Ca(OH)2 with boron is about 1700degC.
Ca(OH)2 + 7B-CaB6 + BO(g)+ H2O(g)
Carbothermal Reduction: the reaction between calcium carbide and boron carbide under vacuum, above 1400degC
CaO & H3BO3 reacts with Mg up to 1100degC
Low temperature synthesis (500degC or less)
CaCl2 + 6NaBH4-CaB6 + 2NaCl + 12H2 + 4Na
In the end, material quality was poor.

The CaB6 is then recrystallized by zone melting to obtain pure CaB6 crystals for cathode materials. The growth rate is typically 30 cm/h and the size of the crystals is 1x10 cm.
In the presence of Ni catalyst, single crystal CaB6 Nanowires can be made by pyrolyzing Diborane (B2H6) onto calcium oxide (CaO).
