Chinese battery manufacturer Betavolt has unveiled the BV100, a coin-sized nuclear battery powered by a radioactive nickel-63 isotope, capable of lasting 50 years without charging or maintenance.
The battery leverages China's fourth-generation diamond semiconductor technology to efficiently convert radioactive decay into electricity, offering an energy density over ten times that of lithium batteries.
While the current output is 100 microwatts at 3 volts, Betavolt plans a more powerful one-watt version for drones and consumer electronics, fueling a global race in nuclear battery innovation.
