Miniature Nuclear 3V Battery To Be Mass Produced

A nuclear 3V battery has reportedly entered mass production. The BV100, which was unveiled last year, can provide power for up to 50 years without charging. It’s also roughly the size of a small coin. The company responsible for BV100, Beijing Betavolt New Energy Technology, revealed that the battery relies on the radioactive decay of its nickel-63 core. This core has a thickness of 2-microns and is sandwiched by two 10-micron thick diamond semi…

These long-lasting nuclear batteries are a complete revolution and can be used in many areas.

The Chinese company Betavolt already has its nuclear-powered battery ready, capable of lasting a lifetime. But, as you may have guessed, it has disadvantages.

Safe, Compact Nuclear Battery Could Revolutionize Energy Storage

Nuclear Power In Everything? When nuclear power generation became a practical technology, it gave hope that the energy that had so far only been used to create world-ending bombs could also save the same civilization from resource depletion. As climate change is a growing concern, nuclear power is undergoing a renaissance, as it is an available, scalable, and low-carbon energy source that could bridge the gap until renewables & batteries are rea…
