THE METHOD OF COATING A CATHODE BASE WITH AN ELECTRON EMISSIVE MATERIAL COMPRISING THE FORMATION OF SMALL DROPLETS OF A HYDROXIDE SOLUTION OF ALKALINE EARTH ELEMENTS, PROPELLING SAID DROPLETS TOWARDS THE CATHODE BASE TO BE COATED, DIRECTING A FLOW OF CARBON DIOXIDE TOWARD SAID DROPLETS FOR PRODUCING AN INTERMIXTURE THEREBETWEEN DURING TRANSIT, THE REACTION OF THE HYDROXIDE CONTAINED IN SAID DROPLETS WITH CARBON DIOXIDE FORMING A CARBONATE OF THE ALKALINE EARTH METAL PRIOR TO CONTACT WITH THE CATHODE BASE TO BE COATED, EVAPORATING THE LIQUID IN SAID DROPLETS, AND DEPOSITION OF SAID CARBONATE ON THE CATHODE BASE.
