As is well known, the quality of the photocathodes is essential for the stability and reliability of photoinjector operations. Especially for superconducting radio frequency photoinjectors (SRF guns), the photocathode represents one of the most critical parts. Benefiting from the fast development of photocathode technology in recent years, several SRF guns have been successfully operated or tested for beam generation at the kHz–MHz repetition rate. In this paper, we will review the achievements as well as the open questions in the applications of photocathodes for SRF gun operation. Furthermore, we will discuss the possible improvement of photocathodes for future CW electron sources.
