Abstract
Radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) is a kind of nuclear batteries, in which thermal energy resulting from the discharge of charged particles decayed of radioisotope, using thermoelectric arrays, can be converted to electrical energy. In this study, the different kinds of RTGs introduced and applications of them have been expressed. All types of radioisotopes used in RTGs have been reviewed and the most suitable of them in terms of maximum thermal power density and minimum dose rate have been selected. All types of thermoelectrics used in RTGs have been reviewed and the most suitable of them in terms of the range of temperature and maximum efficiency have been selected.
