In this paper, a model of the 90 Sr / 90 Y -radioisotope battery based on BV and BPV dual effects is proposed, in which the beta particles penetrate the scintillator (LYSO:Ce) first to reduce energy, and then LYSO:Ce is excited by beta particles and releases photons, and the semiconductor material (GaAs) absorbs the energy of beta particles and ...
Moreover, the long half-life of 63 Ni isotope gives the battery specific energy of about 3300 mWh/g that is an order of magnitude higher than the typical value of commercial chemical cells. 1. Introduction 1.1. Betavoltaic batteries and applications Nuclear power sources store energy in a radioactive isotope and convert it to electricity [ 1, 2 ].
But for many applications higher output power and power density are needed. Since our technology can be used to create the nuclear battery with any radioactive nickel foil, the most direct way to increase the power density is to increase the 63 Ni isotope enrichment up to 80% or more by the centrifugal separation of isotopes.
Ayers et al. proposed an improved design of a nuclear battery to increase the battery power from 100 mW to 1 W while reducing the radiation-induced damage to the semiconductor material. In this design, radioactive material was filled in the thin-walled Ti tube and the β particles emitted into the vacuum through the tube.
This review of recent theoretical and experimental literature indicates that the physics of nuclear batteries do not currently support the objectives of miniaturization, high efficiency and high power density. Instead, the physics imply that nuclear batteries will be of moderate size and limited power density.
Many research groups have attempted to develop nuclear batteries. The pioneering development in this area took place at the Donald W. Douglas Laboratories—a subsidiary of McDonnell Douglas Corp when Olsen et al. used 147 Pm beta isotope [11, 12] to develop the first nuclear battery in 1974.
The supply of radioisotopes is limited and cannot support large scale commercialization. Niche applications for nuclear batteries exist, and advances in materials science may enable the development of high-efficiency solid-state nuclear batteries in the near term.

"When we talk about nuclear batteries, we mean extremely small, even millimeter-scale power sources that can provide power for decades. Imagine a rice grain–size battery placed in a tiny pacemaker that could work for the life of the patient." Their footprint may be small, but 3D nuclear batteries have big potential. —Caryn Meissner
