California-based Infinity Power announces a groundbreaking achievement in nuclear energy storage with the successful development of a powerful and long-lasting nuclear battery.
Supported by the US Department of Defense, this innovative battery utilizes electrochemical energy conversion and boasts an unprecedented efficiency of over 60%.
Unmatched Efficiency and Potential
Infinity Power’s nuclear battery surpasses the efficiency of other radioisotope energy conversion methods, which typically operate at less than 10%.
This breakthrough signifies a major advancement in radioisotope power sources, offering immense potential for future applications.
Novel Electrochemical Energy Conversion
Unlike traditional nuclear batteries that rely on semiconductor converters, Infinity Power’s battery employs a novel electrochemical energy conversion process.
This innovation enables the battery to deliver tens of milliwatts of power for over 100 years in a compact, coin-cell-style device.
Scalable Technology for Diverse Applications
One of the key advantages of Infinity Power’s technology is its scalability. The company claims its nuclear battery can generate power ranging from nanowatts to kilowatts or more, catering to a wide array of applications.
Additionally, the higher efficiency of the battery reduces the amount of radioisotope material required, opening up a broader range of potential materials for selection.
Market Potential and Future Outlook
Infinity Power envisions its nuclear battery finding applications in various specialized fields, including implantable medical devices, deep-sea power systems, space power systems, remote area power systems, and microgrid power systems. The scalable design and mass producibility of the technology are expected to accelerate market acceptance.
A New Chapter in Nuclear Energy Storage
Jae Kwon, CEO of Infinity Power, expresses the company’s ambitious goals to transform this discovery into a successful commercial product, ushering in a new era of revolutionary nuclear energy storage solutions.
The development of Infinity Power’s nuclear battery follows a similar announcement in January by Chinese firm Beijing Betavolt New Energy Technology Company Ltd.
Betavolt claimed to have developed a miniature nuclear battery capable of generating electricity for 50 years without charging or maintenance.
With these advancements, the race to commercialize nuclear batteries is heating up, promising a future of long-lasting, reliable, and efficient power sources for various industries and applications.
