Conversion of Radiophotoluminescence Irradiation into Electricity in Photovoltaic Cells. A Review of Theoretical Considerations and Practical Solutions

This review presents the current state of knowledge regarding use radioactive sources to generate photonic light in scintillators as converters ionizing radiation electricity photovoltaic cells. The possibility using phenomenon excitation photons scintillation materials during interaction with particles and was analyzed detail. obtained such a way can an electric charge whole process be named nuclear cell (nuclear battery). Theoretically, physical phenomena seems ideal practical solution meet energy needs modern world. However, there are many technical problems that limit its widespread applications. In system, emit for billions years, from converted into material, suitable photoelectric effect cell. Such cascade sequence different allows, theoretical point view, creation virtually inexhaustible source electricity. historical literature reports aims bring closer idea “energy perpetuum mobile”, which has troubled scientists around world centuries.
