A novel multi-source energy harvester based on solar and radioisotope energy sources is designed and simulated in this work. We established the calculation formulas for the short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage, and then studied and analyzed...
Electroplating nickel-63, a radioactive isotope used in betavoltaic batteries and random number generators, requires precise control due to its limited availability and the generation of radioactive waste. To minimize waste and ensure effective plati...
The approaches for predicting output parameters of betavoltaic batteries are reviewed. The need to develop a strategy for predicting these parameters with sufficient accuracy for the optimization of betavoltaic cell design without using the simple tr...
The significance of reliable energy storage systems in spacecraft applications cannot be overstated, since they play a vital role in ensuring continuous power supply and prolonged mission durations. This research deals with the modeling of a hybrid m...
Iridium, with its excellent high-temperature chemical inertness, is a preferred cladding material for radioisotope batteries. However, its inherent room-temperature brittleness severely restricts its application. In this research, pure Ir and six Ir-...
