Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of isotope batteries, in particular to an isotope battery based on the beta radiation voltaic effect. Background Art
[0002] Radioisotope batteries offer long life, are unaffected by environmental interference, are stable and reliable, and require no human intervention. They have important applications in aerospace, defense, military, deep-sea polar exploration, and medical safety. Isotope batteries based on the beta-radiovoltaic effect utilize the built-in electric field of a semiconductor transducer to separate radioactively generated electron-hole pairs, converting the energy released by the decay of a radioisotope source into electrical energy. Compared to other isotope batteries, they offer high conversion efficiency, a compact structure, a small size, and a low weight.
[0003] The existing research on beta-radiation voltaic effect isotope batteries involves many aspects, including the study of the electrical properties of semiconductor materials, the optimization design of device structural parameters, the study of battery output characteristics, the influence of environmental factors and the selection of isotope sources. The selection of suitable semiconductor energy conversion materials will help to improve the output performance of beta-radiation voltaic effect isotope batteries to a certain extent. The preparation and doping process of single-crystal Si is mature and low-cost, and it has taken the lead in becoming the energy conversion material for beta-radiation voltaic effect isotope batteries. Due to the narrow band gap of Si materials and poor radiation resistance, the leakage current of Si-based devices is large, making it difficult to make a greater breakthrough in the energy conversion efficiency of Si-based beta-radiation voltaic effect isotope batteries. For example, in 2018, Liu et al. prepared a pn junction type 63 Ni-Si isotope battery, at 4.90mCi / cm 263 Under Ni source irradiation, the short-circuit current density of the battery is 17.5nA / cm 2 , the open circuit voltage is only 0.085V, and the maximum output power density is 0.55nW / cm 2[1] In recent years, the choice of energy conversion materials for β-radiation voltaic effect isotope batteries has begun to shift from Si materials to other wide bandgap semiconductor materials. In 2011, Qiao et al. prepared a 4H-SiC based Schottky junction isotope battery with a power of 4mCi / cm 263 Under Ni source irradiation, the short-circuit current density of the battery is 13.82nA / cm 2 , open circuit voltage is 0.26V, and maximum output power density is 2.02nW / cm 2 , energy conversion efficiency is 0.5% [2] In the same year, Lu et al. prepared a GaN-based Schottky junction isotope battery with a charge of 30 μCi / mm 263 Under Ni source irradiation, the short-circuit current density of the battery is 1.2nA / cm 2 , open circuit voltage is 0.1V, energy conversion efficiency is 0.32% [3]In 2012, Li et al. designed and prepared GaAs-based P + PINN + Type isotope battery, at 10mCi / cm 263 Under Ni source irradiation, the short-circuit current density of the battery is 0.36nA / cm 2 , open circuit voltage is 324mV, and maximum output power density is 0.071nW / cm 2[4] In 2016, Delfaure et al. designed and prepared a diamond-based (PIM) thin-film battery. Under 20keV electron beam irradiation, the battery short-circuit current was 7.12μA, open-circuit voltage was 1.85V, maximum output power was 10.48μW, and energy conversion efficiency was 9.4%. [5] .
[0004] Theoretically, wide-bandgap semiconductors (WBGs) are more suitable as transducer materials for isotope batteries due to their low leakage current. The energy conversion efficiency of isotope batteries increases with the width of the semiconductor material's bandgap. Therefore, semiconductor materials such as SiC, GaN, and diamond have been successfully used in the fabrication of β-radiation voltaic effect isotope batteries. However, under existing process conditions, some WBG semiconductor materials are not optimal due to issues such as material growth quality, doping techniques, and cost. The carrier diffusion length in most WBG semiconductor materials is very short, which is not conducive to the transport and collection of radioactive carriers. Therefore, it is necessary to make a trade-off between practical process, cost, and material properties. In terms of theoretical modeling, β-radiation isotope batteries often use the Monte Carlo method to simulate the transport behavior of β particles, clarify the energy deposition distribution in the transducer material, and derive analytical expressions for the battery output parameters by solving the carrier transport equation. However, the theoretical models used to predict battery output performance make numerous idealized approximations and assumptions, which deviate significantly from actual conditions. This leads to suboptimal device structure optimization and low output performance of experimental device samples. Therefore, the current β-radiation voltaic effect isotope battery still has problems such as low energy conversion efficiency, small output current and low output power.
[0005] Existing technologies primarily enhance the output characteristics of individual devices through research into the electrical properties of semiconductor materials, optimized design of device structural parameters, battery output characteristics, environmental influences, and the selection of isotope sources. However, most semiconductor materials have a low damage threshold for atomic displacement. When the radiation energy released by isotope decay is too high, it can cause defects in the semiconductor material and lead to device performance degradation. Therefore, most research utilizes low-energy beta radiation sources, which severely hinders the promotion and use of beta-radiation voltaic isotope batteries. Therefore, exploring new technologies, methods, and structures to enhance the output performance of beta-radiation voltaic isotope batteries is of great scientific significance and application value.
