Re:US startup begins producing 40%-efficient thermophotovolt... by dukeyukey on Thursday October 05, 2023 @05:18AM (#37776476)
Betavoltaics aren't really either - they provide a constant, slowly-over-years declining flow of power. They can't be recharged, they _could_ be refueled (don't know if it's economic though), and are mostly used when you need a small flow of power and a long period of time between maintenance (think pacemakers, weather buoys, some satellites or probes).
