The kiloelectronvolt, abbreviated keV, is is a unit of energy equal to 1000 electronvolts. When used as a unit of energy, it is the numerical value of the change in energy by moving a thousand electrons across an electric potential difference of one volt. 1 Kiloelectron volts (keV) = 1.602176565 x 10-16 joules (J).
