Study of a Betavoltaic Battery Using Electroplated Nickel-63 on Nickel Foil as a Power Source
A betavoltaic battery was prepared using radioactive 63Ni attached to a three-dimensional single trenched P–N absorber. The optimum thickness of a 63Ni layer was determined to be approximately 2 μm, considering the minimum self-shielding effect of beta particles. Electroplating of radioactive 63Ni o...
