Phone Charging To Be Redundant? China Firm Makes Battery With 50-Year Life<\/b><\/p>\n

Betavolt said the radiation of the nuclear battery poses no danger to the human body, making it usable in medical devices such as pacemakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

A start-up in China has created a new battery that it claims can generate electricity for 50 years without the need for charging or maintenance. A report in The Independent, it’s a nuclear battery developed by Beijing-based Betavolt. And don’t imagine a massive size after reading the word “nuclear”. Betavolt has managed to squeeze 63 isotopes into that module that’s smaller than a coin, the outlet further said in its report. The company said it is the first battery in the world to realise the miniaturisation of atomic energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next-generation battery is already being tested and will be mass produced for commercial applications like phones and drones.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Betavolt atomic energy batteries can meet the needs of long-lasting power supply in multiple scenarios, such as aerospace, AI equipment, medical equipment, microprocessors, advanced sensors, small drones and micro-robots,” the company said in a press release.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This new energy innovation will help China gain a leading edge in the new round of the AI technological revolution,” it further said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The dimensions of the battery<\/span><\/p>\n

It measures 15 x 15 x 5 millimetres and is made of wafer-thin layers of nuclear isotopes and diamond semiconductors, as per Futurism.<\/span><\/p>\n

The nuclear battery currently generates 100 microwatts of power at 3 volts. However, the goal is to reach a 1-watt power output by 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

Betavolt said the radiation poses no danger to the human body, making it usable in medical devices such as pacemakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does the battery work?<\/span><\/p>\n

The technology used in the battery taps into the energy from decaying isotopes, a concept that was first explored in the 20th century. It then converts this energy into electricity.<\/span><\/p>\n

China has been working towards miniaturising nuclear batteries under its 14th Five-Year Plan from 2021-2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

The battery has a layered design, which will prevent it from catching fire or exploding due to sudden force. Betavolt also claimed that the battery is capable of working in temperatures ranging from -60 degrees Celsius to 120 degrees Celsius.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Atomic energy batteries are environmentally friendly. After the decay period, the 63 isotopes turn into a stable isotope of copper, which is non-radioactive and does not pose any threat or pollution to the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

The mass production of the battery is expected to begin after the company completes testing and receives all the necessary clearances.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
