able toachieve efficiencies above 1% [2, 7]. The most promising effort in betavoltaics occurred in ca.1974 through research led by Olsen at the Donald W. Douglas Laboratories [8, 9]. The Betacelbattery, shown in Figure 5, exhibited 400 µW and a 4% efficiency using 147Pm and silicon p-njunctions. The Betacel was used in pacemakers that were implanted in over 285 patients, 60inside the United States. German and U.S. medical institutions were seriously considering theBetacel for wider use. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC) had authorizedthe licensing of 50 Betacel pacemakers per month [10]. However, strides in lithium batterydevelopment entered onto the scene and were subsequently selected for pacemakers instead [3
