[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of micro energy, and relates to a Ni-63 graphene radioisotope battery and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of microelectronic devices and Internet of Things terminals towards miniaturization and low power consumption, the demand for long-life and maintenance-free micro energy systems is becoming increasingly urgent. Isotope batteries convert the energy of β particles released by the decay of radioactive isotopes into electrical energy, and have the unique advantages of long life (related to the half-life of isotopes) and strong environmental adaptability. Among them, the isotope battery based on the radiovoltaic effect generates electron-hole pairs by semiconductor materials absorbing β particles (electrons), and forms an electric current through the separation of the built-in electric field, which is one of the mainstream technical routes for realizing efficient energy conversion. However, the current energy conversion efficiency and electrical output performance of radiovoltaic isotope batteries are not very ideal, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of the micro energy system for its output power.

[0003] Nickel-63 (Ni-63) is an ideal isotope radiation source with the advantages of long half-life (about 100 years), high radiation safety (no heavy shielding is required), and good chemical stability. In recent years, carbon-based materials have been introduced into the field of radiovoltaic isotope batteries due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Especially, graphene, as a representative of two-dimensional layered materials, will naturally form a metal-semiconductor junction when it contacts with a semiconductor material as a semi-metal, and has been widely studied and applied in the field of energy conversion.
