“…A very recent paper illustrates the advantages offered by a spinel-type ferrite thermo-optical coating to improve high-temperature stability and radiation resistance of a RTPV prototype, increasing at the same time the output power of the generator. 95 The excellent performances of such thermaloptical conversion coating improved the efficiency of the whole RTPV device. In effect such prototype was able to maintain a surface emissivity constant up to 90% under a 32.64 kGy irradiation for 24 h at 1400 K, and to increase by about 180% the overall energy output with respect to an uncoated device.…”

Summary The batteries fuelled by radio‐isotopes have represented a significant technological solution for planetary science and exploration missions since the beginning of the space era. Now emerging researches and new concepts are making the nuclear batteries attractive also for relevant terrestrial applications. The present survey aims to summarize the evolution of technical programmes and to examine the multidisciplinary skills required to accelerate the transition of nuclear batteries from laboratory prototypes to fully functional systems.
