American scientists succeeded in increasing the power of nuclear batteries 10 times

U.S. scientists announced that they have developed a new type of nuclear batteries, its power is 10 times that of similar batteries, and can be used continuously for more than and 10 years.

The research team, led by Philip Fauchet, an engineer at the Rochester College, has developed a new type of nuclear cell that is unique in its use for thermoelectric conversion of silicon wafers. They are on the surface of the transformation, cutting out a wide range of 1 microns, a depth of 40 microns of the concave point, so that a three-dimensional reaction environment greatly improves the generated electricity, in one fell swoop the battery power increased by a factor of 10. In addition, because the sealed metal nuclear battery is sufficient to completely sealed radioactive energy. And the release of the tritium beta rays is not high, a piece of paper will be able to isolate it.

The small size of the nuclear battery, and "longevity", at least 12 years of work, if it is used in daily life of electronic equipment, you can save the trouble of frequent battery replacement. In the field of medicine, it can continue to supply power for pacemakers and other medical devices that need to be implanted in the human body for many years. It is not afraid of the huge changes in temperature, but also not afraid of the high pressure and corrosion under the sea, so both with the spacecraft heaven, but also with the deep sea detector.
