Beijing Betavolt New Energy Technology (Betavolt for Betavolt), Chinese technology company and battery manufacturer, has become a mass -sized nuclear battery BV100 into mass production. This small, but revolutionary battery can provide uninterrupted energy for 50 years without requiring charging.

Suffering

The BV100 generates electricity using the energy released during the decisive copper of the radioactive nickel-63 isotope. The nucleus of the battery consists of only two micron-thick nickel-63 layer and is located between the two diamond semiconductor plates. Thanks to this structure, the battery of 5mm provides 100 microwatt power at 3 volts. For now, it is not enough for devices that require high energy such as smartphones or laptops. However, Betavolt announced in 2025 that a stronger version of 1 Watt will be released. In the meantime, you may be recalling Betavolt, because we mentioned this battery last year. You can find more detailed information about Betavolt BV100 in that content.

One of the most remarkable features of the BV100 is that it has 10 times more energy density than traditional lithium-ion batteries. As in chemical batteries, it does not discharge itself over time and are not affected by extreme temperature changes. The BV100, which can operate smoothly between minus 60 ° C and +120 ° C, does not carry a fire or explosion risk.

Also, the environmental effects are at a minimum level. Nickel-63 in the battery does not produce dangerous radioactive waste because it has become a stable copper over time. This makes it much safer than traditional nuclear batteries.

Wide usage area from drones to medical devices

The BV100 and the future powerful versions to be developed are expected to be used in many areas such as drones, artificial intelligence systems, medical devices, micro robots and space technologies. Betavolt CEO Zhang Wei says that the company is the only company in the world that can produce large -scale diamond semiconducts and that this technology will revolutionize in other fields such as super capacitors and nano materials.

With the introduction of the BV100 into mass production, the nuclear battery race is expected to accelerate the world. Companies such as City Labs and Kronos Advanced Technologies in the USA are working on similar technologies, while companies such as the UK-based ARKENLIGHT are developing carbon-14-based nuclear batteries.
