An electron emissive composition comprises a barium tantalate composition of the formula (Ba1−x, Cax, Srp, Dq)6(Ta1−y, Wy, Et, Fu, Gv, Caw)2O(11±δ) where δ is an amount of about 0 to about −3; and wherein D is either an alkali earth metal ion or an alkaline earth ion; E, F, and G, are alkaline earth ions and/or transition metal ion; x is an amount of up to about 0.7; y is an amount of up to about 1; p and q are amounts of up to about 0.3; and t is an amount of about 0.05 to about 0.10, u is an amount of up to about 0.5, v is an amount of up to about 0.5 and w is an amount of up to about 0.25. A method for manufacturing an electron emissive composition comprises blending a barium tantalate composition with a binder; and sintering the barium tantalate composition with the binder at a temperature of about 1000° C. to about 1700° C.
