摘要: We present a microfabricated die-scale Radioisotope-powered Piezoelectric µ -power Generator (RPG) with nuclear to electrical conversion efficiency as high 3.7%. The generator employs direct charging convert radiated β-particle kinetic energy into stored electromechanical in piezoelectric unimorph, and piezoelectricity the mechanical extractable energy. goes through charge-discharge-vibrate cycle, integrating collected during phase. This enables power output (1.13 W peak across 90 kΩ load impedance) for short time (10 s) vibration even radioactive film emitting only 100 nW of continuous power.
