当人类还在为手机一天三充苦恼时,中国科学家已悄然打开原子能应用的魔盒。西北师范大学联合攻关 团队近日宣布,全球首款碳-14核电池"烛龙"横空出世,这项将放射性同位素转化为持久电能的技术突 破,正在重写人类能源应用的基本法则。 这项看似来自科幻小说的技术,实则建立在对碳元素的全新认知之上。研究团队独创的纳米级金刚石半 导体,完美破解了碳-14衰变能的捕获难题。实验室数据显示,直径仅3厘米的电池单元可稳定输出1.6 微瓦电力,在持续点亮LED灯组124天的实测中,能量转化曲线近乎水平——这意味着其理论工作寿命 确实能与5730年的碳同位素半衰期同步。 中国突破能源科技次元壁: 碳基核电池开启千年续航时代…… 与传统的钚-238核电池相比,碳基方案展现出三重颠覆性优势:在青藏高原极地模拟舱内,电池组 在-112℃至217℃的极端温域中保持稳定输出;原料成本较前代技术骤降95%,单克能量密度却突破 2200mWh,相当于将300节5号电池的能量压缩至米粒大小;更关键的是,其辐射剂量经第三方检测仅 为本底环境的1/400,彻底改写核能设备的安全标准。 在西北师大超净实验室,笔者见证了这个"能源永动机"的震撼演示。陈列架 ...
