Critical design features of thermal-based radioisotope generators: A review of the power solution for polar regions and space
As one special type of sustainable energy source, radioisotopes have extremely high energy densities. Electrical generators using the decay heat from these radioisotopes can provide long-lasting power when other types of energy, such as solar or chemical energy, are not available. Starting from the...
