Russian scientists make a battery that will work 100 years Technologies

MIFI) develop radio-isotopic energy sources based on energy sources of beta waves using nanoparticles 63.

This will enable the production of 100-year-old harmless nuclear batteries – for cardiac pacemakers, miniaturized sugar counters or blood pressure, for remote telemetry, micro-robots, and permanent self-employment devices – announces the press service of the University.

The problem of miniaturization

Today, the search for the characteristics of nanoobjects is caused by the increased interest of the experts due to the tendency towards the miniaturization of technical devices , particularly in the field of nanoelectronics. Modern achievements in the field of micro and nano electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS), which combine in a single device nanoelectronic and mechanical components, such as drives, pumps or motors, can become promising for the production of microphysical, biological sensors However, scientists are actively investigating the possibility of miniaturization of conventional lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and capacitors.

Today, scientists are actively investigating the possibility of miniaturization of conventional lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, and capacitors. However, the dimensions of these power supplies are still too great for creating a true micro and nano system.

Different access to the power problem of modern and promising MEMS and NEMS are increased with the use of radioisotope batteries

currents in which the energy of the radioactive decay of metastable elements – atomic nuclei – turns into electricity. They are characterized by a higher energy density for a unit of mass and volume. The time of stable energy allocation varies in a wide tuning fork, depending on the type of nuclide.

Unique Properties of Nickel 63

One of the shortest ways of transforming energy from nuclear disintegration into electricity is thermoelectric conversion. However, scientists are actively studying the sources of beta energy supply that are very interesting for a practical application. The fact is that when using a miniaturized radioisotope power supply emitting a light beta radiation, it is easy to create a physical protection system for users and objects in close proximity to the radiation.

NIFI MIFI scientists investigated the electrophysical properties of nickel nickel and determined the optimal experimental parameters for transforming an effective energy converter from nickel 63 beta decay into electricity

The Nickel Radioisotope 63 is one of the most promising beta-ultraviolet radionuclides. It is a milder beta-detector with a permanent half-life of 100.1 years. Therefore, nickel 63 is a unique element that is suitable for permanent power systems that do not require high energy consumption.

From the material point of view, nickel is also a good metal, relatively plastic, relatively inert, easy to work.

New Approaches of the scientist NINU MIFI

According to scientists, increase the efficiency of existing energy converters of the beta 63 decay of nickel into electricity and find physical systems alternative are very promising tasks of modern science.

The researchers created an original physical system that allows the efficient generation of secondary electrons directly into the nanostructured nickel layers and dramatically increases the signal generated by the cascade of multiple inelastic collisions of beta particles, – says the assistant professor of physico-technical problems of metrology Institute of Laser and Plasma "This system is relatively simple from the point of view of experimental realization and represents a combination of strongly conditioned nickel nanoclasts with nanoparticle gradient distribution according to dimensions, which are deposited on the surface of a broadband dielectric – silicon dioxide READ MORE: A cell phone running without batteries!

During the research, the scientists concluded that the formation of nickel nanoparticles process.First, surfaces have With a fixed potential difference can be formed, which is determined by the size difference of the nanoparticles in a particular direction. Second, the conversion of the beta decay of nickel 63 to electron flux can be accomplished without additional complication in the realization of semiconductor systems.

The results obtained by the scientists confirm that the formed nanoclastic nickel films have unique properties. The field of application of radio-isotopic energy sources with thermoelectric conversion is virtually unlimited. It extends from very low power nuclear batteries to micro and nano electromechanical systems through pacemakers, miniature sugar meters or blood pressure, remote telemetry systems from infrastructure, microbots of various specialties and uses,
