Abstract

The invention discloses a thermoelectric nuclear battery based on a double-layer structure. The thermoelectric nuclear battery comprises a radiation source, a radioactive source box, an outer shell, thermoelectric materials, grooves, a sealing cover and a heat dissipating device. The grooves are formed in the outer side of the radioactive source box and in the outer side of the outer shell, the thermoelectric materials are arranged in the grooves, the radiation source is filled in the radioactive source box, the radioactive source box is arranged in the outer shell in a sleeved mode, the sealing cover is additionally arranged on the top of the battery, and the heat dissipating device is arranged on the outer side of the battery, and accordingly a sealed whole is formed. The radiation source, the radioactive source box, the thermoelectric materials and the grooves form an internal structure. The outer shell, the thermoelectric materials, the grooves, the sealing cover and the heat dissipating device form an external structure. A heat source is fully used by means of gradient temperature differences of external low-temperature environment or natural low-temperature environment, and the temperature differences are between the radioactive source box and the outer shell and caused by the outer shell and the heat dissipating device. The thermoelectric nuclear battery has the advantages of being long in service life, high in heat source utilization rate, safe to use and the like. The utilization rate of decay particles of the radiation source is high, so that the thermoelectric nuclear battery can be used for directly converting radioactive energy into electricity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a thermoelectric nuclear battery based on a double-layer structure, which can be used to convert the decay energy of radioactive isotopes into electric energy, and belongs to the field of nuclear energy application and thermoelectric conversion. Background technique [0002] In 1954, Mound Laboratories of the United States developed the first thermoelectric generator SNAP-3 using radioactive isotopes as heat sources. In 1956, the United States proposed the nuclear auxiliary energy system plan and carried out various research and development of thermoelectric nuclear batteries. Due to the low power generation efficiency of various thermoelectric generators and extremely low power generation, it will be of profound significance to develop a thermoelectric generator with higher efficiency. At the same time, based on the advantages of radioisotope thermoelectric generators in various aspects , Improving the efficiency and power of ...
