At present, the urgent problem is the development of long-term service life of batteries. If one considers power supplies with a period of more than 10 years, and even up to 50 years of service life, then it is necessary to pay attention to the Nickel-63 radioisotope. The given isotope is safe from the point of view of radiation, but it can generate energy up to 50 years. The article shows that it is necessary to analyze semiconductor materials suitable for its development in the manufacture of a power source based on Nickel-63. Such an analysis is also important for the estimation economic requirements taking into account the increasing miniaturization of electronic equipment. A current level analysis was performed for each semiconductor material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
