The new product, developed in Beijing, is the first in the world to achieve miniaturization of nuclear energy, packing 63 nuclear isotopes into a module smaller than a coin.
Betavolt said the battery is currently in pilot testing and will eventually be mass-produced for commercial devices such as phones and drones.
The battery works by converting the energy resulting from the decay of isotopes into electricity. Betavolt’s first nuclear battery measures 15 x 15 x 5 cubic millimeters and can produce 100 microwatts of power and 3 volts.
The company announced that it plans to produce a 1-watt battery by 2025.
These tiny batteries can be used in series to produce more power, allowing us to imagine cell phones that never need to be charged and drones that can fly indefinitely.
