Betavolt, a technology company based in Beijing, has developed a groundbreaking nuclear battery that could potentially power smartphones and other electronic devices for up to 50 years without the need for recharging. This innovative battery harnesses the energy released by decaying nuclear isotopes, specifically nickel-63, to generate electricity.

The nuclear battery, dubbed BV100, measures just 15 millimeters in length and 5 millimeters in thickness, making it smaller than a coin. Despite its size, it is capable of producing 100 microwatts of power and a voltage of 3V. Betavolt plans to scale this technology, aiming to produce a 1-watt version by 2025, which would be more suitable for higher-power applications​.

Betavolt’s nuclear battery is designed to be modular, allowing multiple units to be connected to increase power output for more demanding devices. The company envisions its use in various commercial applications, including smartphones, drones, AI equipment, and medical devices. The battery’s design ensures it remains safe, with no external radiation leakage, making it suitable for use inside the human body for devices like pacemakers.

Betavolt’s innovation could eliminate the need for traditional chargers and portable power banks, offering a sustainable and long-lasting power solution.
