Scientists at the University of Missouri, announced they are developing a new type of battery, its battery life standard of more than 1 million times.
What is the Mars Science and technology have made this life such a long battery life? The original, this battery is that some radioactive elements decay of isotopes in the energy generated. Simply means that a nuclear power.
The main advantage of this battery will not charge for providing electricity for some very long half-life isotopes, while the half-life, they will listen to the release of energy. For example, the fifth cycle, the First Family VIIB element technetium isotope Tc-97, its half-life of more than 260 million years. Imagine the future as long as a coin-size batteries, your cell phone you can still use your grandchildren, great-grandfather who was a generation without charge, how it looks.
According to the developer who introduced the use of energy decay of the battery is already used for military and aerospace, but the size and weight are great, but they expanded the size of the new product is only slightly larger than the one-franc piece, and about the thickness of a human hair. In addition, they still use the battery in the semiconductor material liquid to overcome the traditional solid-chip inside the battery charged particle radiation easily corrupted.
This battery is currently the main target application areas of micro-nano-electro-mechanical energy. Developers have also said that although the use of radioactive elements, but the technology is safe. He stressed that, in fact, the use of nuclear energy has long been a variety of cells, such as pacemakers, satellites and space equipment submarine system and so on
Currently, the group has filed a provisional patent on the battery.
