What is Carbon-14 (C14) Battery?
A California-based company has made a self-charging battery, which can run for 28,000 years on a single charge, by trapping carbon-14 (C14) nuclear waste in artificial diamond-case.
What is C14?
• Carbon-14 (14C), or radiocarbon, is a radioactive isotope of carbon with an atomic nucleus containing 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
• There are three naturally occurring isotopes of carbon on Earth: carbon-12, which makes up 99% of all carbon on Earth; carbon-13, which makes up 1%; and carbon-14, which occurs in trace amounts.
• Its presence in organic materials is the basis of the radiocarbon dating method pioneered by Willard Libby and colleagues (1949) to date archaeological, geological and hydrogeological samples.
C14 battery
• The battery works by generating electricity on its own from a shower of electrons as a result of radioactive decay scattered and deposited in the artificial diamond-case.
• The battery can be used in electric vehicles, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, drones, watches, cameras, health monitors and even sensors.
• It is also said to be extremely safe and tamper-proof as it is coated with a non-radioactive diamond which prevents radiation leaks.
Best example of nuke waste recycling
• It is estimated that 33 million cubic metres of global nuclear waste will cost over $100 billion to manage and dispose of.
• And a lot of this waste is graphite that is one of the higher risks of radioactive waste and one of the most expensive and problematic waste to store.
C14 battery Application (Use)
• The battery works by generating electricity on its own from a shower of electrons as a result of radioactive decay scattered and deposited in the artificial diamond-case.
• The battery can be used in electric vehicles, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, drones, watches, cameras, health monitors and even sensors.
कार्बन - 14 बैटरी
यह बैटरी कृत्रिम हिरे के बॉक्स में कार्बन-14, परमाणु कचरे (NUCLEAR WASTE) का संचय करके बनायी गयी है। यह बैटरी सेल्फ-चार्जिंग है, और 28,000 साल तक चल सकती है। बैटरी कृत्रिम हिरे में जमा C-14 के रेडिओधर्मी क्षय (RADIOACTIVE DECAY) के परिणामस्वरूप इलेक्ट्रानो की बौछार के कारण स्वयं बिजली पैदा करती है। यह बैटरी बिलकुल सुरक्षित है क्योंकि यह गैर-रेडिओधर्मी हिरे की कोटिंग से बनी है जिससे विकरण का रिसाव नहीं हो पाता है।
कैलिफोर्निया की NDB कंपनी C-14 बैटरी को और ज्यादा शक्तिशाली बनाने के लिए परमाणु कचरे को अधिक से अधिक शुद्ध करना चाहती है, एंव इसका उपयोग कंप्यूटर चिप और नैनो डिवाइस बनाने में करना चाहती है। इस कंपनी ने शुद्ध C-14 परमाणु कचरे के उपयोग से नैनो डायमंड बैटरी बनाने की योजना बनाई है।
