Researchers always develop better battery techniques, hoping to find techniques that last for a long time and never need to recharge them – this month, we have another exciting penetration.
South Korea scientists from the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology recently introduced a model battery that operates according to the BetavolTaic principle. The researchers also explain:
“Nuclear batteries generate energy by harnessing high -energy molecules emitted from radioactive materials. Radioactive elements that destroy live organisms, and some radiation can be blocked by certain materials.
This preliminary model of the battery depends on carbon -14, which is an unstable and radiant carbon form called radioactive carbon. Although this carbon counterpart is radiant, it only produces beta radiation, which can be easily protected to prevent damage.
The radioactive carbon is already a secondary result of nuclear power plants, and therefore it is cheap and easily available, and easy to recycle, according to researchers. Since radioactive carbon deteriorates very slowly, the battery that works with radiology can provide energy in theory for decades, centuries, or even thousands of years.
According to researchers, the latest initial model of the radiological carbon battery has a much higher energy transformation efficiency, which increased from 0.48 to 2.86 percent.
Professor Soo Il says that this type of nuclear battery will only be the size of the finger, and these long -term nuclear batteries can allow many applications. For example, a cardiac -backed cardiac system will last for life and make surgical replacement unnecessary.
However, at the present time, this Betavoltaic battery only converts a small percentage of radioactive dissolution into electrical energy, leading to low performance compared to traditional ion lithium batteries. Researchers still need to do more development work in this field.
Betavolt Nuclear Nuclear battery
The Chinese company Betavolt New Energy Technology Co. , Ltd. It is based in Beijing, formerly a diamond nuclear battery at the beginning of 2024, and it is a little smaller than a coin and it is clear that it is able to provide electricity for 50 years without the need to recharge it between maintenance.
The company said that its battery was in the experimental stage and is preparing to be launched in the market in huge production. Betavolt claimed that atomic power batteries can meet the needs of long -life power supply in different scenarios, such as space, artificial intelligence devices, medical devices, MEMS systems, advanced sensors, drones, and small robots.
Betavolt
According to the manufacturer, the miniature atomic energy battery combines the technology of Nickel Nuclear isotopes and the first semiconductor unit in the fourth generation). In this regard, in the development of mini atomic energy batteries, China is “on European and American scientific institutions and companies,” according to the claim. Betavolt describes the structure of its small nuclear battery as follows:
“Betavolt team of scientists has developed the semiconductor unique connectors of the mono crystal crystal with a thickness of only 10 micometers by placing the 2-mectrometre-SHKK Nickel-63 movie between semi-diamond transformers. Series and parallel, allowing the manufacture of battery products of different sizes and capabilities.”
Betavolt still needs to increase the performance of its small nuclear battery to supply the mobile phone with a permanent power source. The first ready -to -use Betavolt battery is 15 mm x 15 mm x 5 mm bv100, with 100 micro -voltage and 3 volt voltage. This will be followed in 2025 by a small nuclear battery with 1 watts. The batteries can be connected in the chain and successive.
More about nuclear batteries
Nuclear batteries, also known as radioactive offering batteries, were present for a long time and there is no Chinese invention in any way. In 2019, Russian researchers reported a hacker in nuclear mini -photography tools with a 50 -year -old service age. Small nuclear batteries have been used to travel to space since the 1960s, and there were even nuclear -powered heart attack devices in the 1970s.
These nuclear batteries get their energy from the radiological decomposition of NI-63, but unlike traditional radioactive offices, energy is not obtained from the heat generated during radioactive decay. Instead, the beta radiation is converted to NI-63 directly into electrical energy with semiconductor. Over the years and contracts, the amount of energy emitted decreases. In addition, this battery can provide relatively little energy.
Due to the use of radioactive materials, the use of this power generation method in daily devices – such as mobile phones – is unlikely in the long run. It is also important to note that this method does not lead to a dangerous reaction, as with a nuclear reactor.
