Russian scientists have created a new compact energy device. We are talking about the work of NUST MISIS employees, which was carried out in the field of “peaceful atom”.



The journal Applied Radiation and Isotopes describes the results of the work of the MISIS research team. The result was the creation of a compact battery, which is simply called "atomic". This small device generates an electric current during radioactive decay - a kind of microreactor. The "atomic battery" consists of two main parts - semiconductor (it is in the process of energy conversion) and radioactive (emitter based on nickel isotope).

Such a battery allows power supply of microelectronics. The dimensions of the innovative battery are comparable to foreign counterparts, while it is about half the price and an order of magnitude more efficient.

A battery that generates electricity based on radioactive decay is characterized in that the arrangement of the "atomic" part is such that it prevents the loss of power, which is usually caused by the so-called reverse current.

One of the authors of the development is Sergei Legotin, Associate Professor of the Department of Semiconductor Electronics and Semiconductor Physics of the aforementioned university.

He is quoted by RT:

The design makes it possible to increase by an order of magnitude the efficiency of converting the energy released during the decay of the beta radiation source into electricity, which will reduce the source cost of the source by about 50 percent due to the rational use of an expensive radioisotope.

Today, “atomic batteries” are being developed in different countries of the world, but their use has not reached the mass level. First of all, the high cost of such elements plays a role. At the same time, it is already clear that this situation may change in the near future. An impetus for the development of the direction of using this kind of energy elements may well be given by the development of domestic scientists.

Earlier, the MISIS presented a developed composite material that can be actively used in medicine - in particular, for the restoration of bone defects in the skull.

    Very interesting, but unfortunately little data.
    I am not an expert, so it's hard for me to compare with foreign counterparts.
    And as a layman, the security parameter is also very interested. The words "radioactive decay" have been scary since 1986.

        Why write in Latin?

        Russian language zapadlo

        It has long been necessary to adopt a law punishing writers in the Latin alphabet.

        And writers of all kinds of crap about the "language of international communication" are punished by the same law.

        It is necessary to defend Russian civilization.

        Scientists are great, and marketers "from scientists" are ghouls.

                This is not the Russian language you need. Your native language was Russian. You give up on it.

                Anglo-Saxons do not give up their language. Not only that, they are promoting it.
                And people like you believed that the Latin alphabet is more important. Nonsense, but you believed.

                So, the problem is not in the language and not in the English speakers.
                The problem is in your head. These are just your cockroaches.

                And you need to be protected by law from people like you.

                    I meant that the modern narrative of this phrase is associated with Hurray, patriotism, stupidity and "outrage" and is on a par with the stickers on the car "Obama CHMO".
                    And the most important stupidity of the owners of such stickers is that they often glue them on German cars, which IMHO is the top of stupidity.

                    And where it came from, the film is good, but now not everyone has watched it (those who are younger) and it does not cause references to it. So this phrase has a life of its own.
                    (ps, if anything, I didn't minus, if you are from the "old generation", then you can still put the necessary meaning into this phrase, and not the one that modern "not very smart people" put in).

          The language of international communication is also Russian. This was recorded by the UN, along with five more, at the time of its creation. In addition, there are about two hundred nationalities, peoples and nationalities living in Russia that have the peculiarities of their language, but the state language in Russia is Russian. However, in the republics of Russia, along with the Russian language, others can also be used. So in Crimea the official languages ​​are Russian, Ukrainian and Tatar. English is not the state language throughout Russia and cannot be used in state institutions, but there is no ban on its use, as well as in other languages.

          Below is a street name sign:



          It seems like Moscow, a city of tourists, but the inscription on the gatinny, albeit in a smaller font, is higher than the name in Russian. What does that mean? Koo before the "beacon of democracy" by the Moscow authorities?

          The Russian nobility did not fall for it. Not knowing English in 2020, at least at the school level, is a mess. Since 80 percent of scientific literature in the world is in English and without knowing it, a person automatically cuts off 80% of information from himself and becomes dumber by 80% of those who have access to it. Those who cannot understand the English text, even with a dictionary, are the new illiterate, an analogue of the 16th century bast peasants. Well, it's not even about English - any additional language is a wealth, even English, even German, even Gypsy, even Polynesian. And the wild aggression towards foreign languages, I met only as a defensive reaction from stupid people who had not mastered Russian too well.

These are the rules of the world economy today. Even such giants as Bosch and Siemens are forced to transfer production to China to Chinese companies, otherwise these very Chinese simply will not leave the former giants a place in the consumer goods market, destroying any civilian production in Germany at a minimal cost. And environmental legislation for manufacturers in Western countries is a separate story. The lithium battery is completely made in the USA, I would look at it :))) Tesla, of course, packs batteries under its own brand, but all the contents are in China.

      Ooh! I can imagine how scared you would be if you knew HOW MUCH radiation surrounds us! And not only "man-made", but also quite natural!
      That's just one example: in Ukraine, not far from Krivoy Rog, there is a tract Zheltye Vody. There, from time immemorial (centuries), local residents mined a special white clay with a beautiful bright yellow hue, from which they built their huts. Very nice - you don't even need to whitewash with chalk! It never occurred to them that a characteristic beautiful color is given to clay ..... salt uranium, which are contained there in a fairly high concentration !!!
      In the 60s of the last century, a plant for the primary enrichment of uranium was built there (although, as they say, for the last 3 decades it has not worked or has hardly worked), in which a small town of the same name arose.
      PS By the way, Zheltye Vody is the only city (so they say) where a radiometer (Geiger counter) hangs on the city hall instead of a clock! wink

      Well, and thanks separately for the name of the institute - I smiled!)))

      Absolutely safe, but still not worth swallowing. The active substance is a nickel-63 isotope, an emitter of beta particles (electrons) of low energy (beta minus decay). During its half-life, this isotope does not produce radioactive nuclides (does not form radioactive series). And low-energy electrons are completely trapped by a conventional foil (aluminum). Only Russia possesses the technologies that make it possible to quickly and cheaply separate this and many other isotopes from waste in "bags".

      Beta rays are just a "joke". Ni-63 is a "soft" beta emitter, even in direct contact with the skin, the radiation is absorbed by a layer several microns deep. And in the battery, it is completely absorbed by the structural elements. The battery life is at least 50 years, during this time half of the isotope decays and the power drops by half. The main purpose is to power stand-alone sensors placed in hard-to-reach places: space technology, building structures, in implants, etc. There will not be any electric vehicles for a variety of reasons, of which price and low power are not the main ones.
      Many companies are engaged in the development of such products, including in Russia. It is still far from serial products, but noticeable progress. The main "plug", it seems, is not in the isotope, but in the semiconductor component. Even exotic semiconductors such as doped diamonds are used.
      It is incorrect to call this device a "battery": a battery is elements connected in series or in parallel. The element is also presented here. Among specialists, it is called a beta-voltaic element.

          Element dimensions for sensors - millimeters. You can of course combine batteries. Moreover, there will be batteries - but not with beta-voltaic cells, but with capacitors. The sensors turn on periodically, and they generate energy constantly. a capacitor connected in parallel accumulates energy in pauses and gives it back when the load is turned on.

If it is a battery, then it is narrowly applicable, due to the impossibility of recharging it, and even in a complex electrical circuit, the radiation will extinguish neighboring links. That is, its use only on devices and devices protected from beta radiation, but not in industry, and even more so, not in everyday life.

So here life is cheaper and the air is freer in the sense of non-compliance with laws.

        But I understand what you mean. I have a father-in-law with a mother-in-law from Krasnodar all their lives there at sea and have a rest. And the prices there, by the way, are not wasteful, so that you can drive 350 km in a wheelbarrow and enjoy a freebie. Not cheap. I persuade them all to go to Turkey, they say the grandmas are the same, the service is heaven and earth. I had a rest there with them once, honestly, you can compare a buffet and a restaurant of average quality, the differences are similar.

You yourself can, for example, climb out of your skin and earn something there, but children and so on ... In addition, sanctions are only for the Kremlin like "so", and for "good" (in words), but for economy is serious and working in Russia, even for a foreign company, you can fall under their influence, with all the ensuing consequences.
