- 1. Radioisotope Research Division, Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
Radioisotope (Nuclear) battery using 63Ni was prepared as beta cell. The electroplated 63Ni on Ni foil is fabricated, and beta cell and photovoltaic hybrid battery was designed to use at both day and night in space project. A Ni-plating solution is prepared by dissolving metal particles including 62Ni and 63Ni from neutron irradiation of (n,γ). Electroplating solution of a chloride bath consists on nickel ions in HCl, H3BO3, and KOH. The deposition was carried out at current density of 10 mA cm-2. The prepared beta source was attached on a PN junction and measured I-V properties. The power output at activity of 0.07 mCi and 0.45 mCi were 0.55 pW and 2.69 nW, respectively
