“…Previous studies have shown that it is a very effective measure to adopt a high-energy, high-activity excitation source, and superior energy conversion materials with high radioluminescence and photoelectric efficiency in improving the output power of the nuclear battery. Moreover, if there is a good coupling between the components, the performance output of the battery will be improved significantly. − These matches include the incident particle range approximating the thickness of the radioluminescent materials, the RL spectra consistent with the photovoltaic response interval of the photovoltaic devices. The radioactive source itself can continuously release energy.…”

Highly luminescent CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are very attractive for applications in power-generating devices. The CsPbBr3 QD solution and its corresponding solid films were satisfactorily prepared. The obtained QDs were characterized by various techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometry, and photoluminescence and radioluminescence spectroscopy. The performance of the CsPbBr3 QD films as an energy conversion material in radioluminescent nuclear batteries was analyzed and discussed. The output performance of different nuclear batteries based on CsPbBr3 QD films was compared and the feasibility and advantages of using them as radioluminescent layers were investigated. On this basis, a long-term equivalent service behavior study was conducted to evaluate the irradiation stability of the CsPbBr3 radioluminescent layer and predict the service life of this type of nuclear battery. The distribution state and penetration depth of hydrogen ions in the films were analyzed and evaluated using physics simulation software. Optical and electrical characteristics confirmed that this perovskite material could offer an efficient, stable, and scalable solution for energy conversion and photoelectric detection in the future.

“…To solve the problems mentioned above and improve the performance of the radioisotope batteries in practical applications, we proposed a novel radio‐voltaic/radio‐photovoltaic (RV/RPV) dual effect multilevel isotope batteries based on a gamma (γ) radioactive source. This isotope battery generates electricity by the RV/RPV dual effects through the interaction between γ rays and scintillator layers and volt layers.…”

Summary Materials and structures of radio‐voltaic/radio‐photovoltaic (RV/RPV) dual effect isotope batteries were optimized in this paper. The response relationship between different types of volt layer and the dual effect was studied. The GaAs volt layer with a high band gap can easily obtain a higher voltage output than the Si volt layer. Dual effect multilevel isotope batteries achieved better output performance by using the CsI scintillator due to its high photon yield. The CsI scintillator combined with the GaAs volt layer showed good spectral matching property, which is conducive to improve the RV/RPV dual effect isotope batteries. The overall scale of the multilevel structure was designed by performing Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) calculation. When its overall scale reached 20 cm, the deposition rate of 60Co gamma (γ) rays exceeded 90%. The response relationship between the thickness of each level of the CsI scintillator and the battery performance was analyzed by MCNP5. The total performance came up to the maximum when the CsI thickness in each level reached 2 cm. Finally, the multilevel isotope batteries were prepared. The output performance of the multilevel isotope batteries was characterized under 60Co γ source at a dose rate of 0.103 kGy/hr. The multilevel isotope battery in series obtained open circuit voltage of 7.77 V, short circuit current of 1.69 μA, maximum output power of 7.98 μW, and energy conversion efficiency of 0.15%. These isotope batteries showed great potential for the power supply of electronic equipment in many special fields.
