Abstract
The possibility of tritium introduction into graphene oxide (GO) by tritium thermal activation method was demonstrated. It was established that, in order to produce the highest possible specific radioactivity, thin films of GO with a thickness of 5.6 mg/m2 must be treated with tritium atoms. The experiment conducted at 77 K showed a number of advantages. GO was processed with tritium atoms, the resulting specific activity of [3H]GO reached 2.6 Ci/mg in term of the weight of the initial GO (0.7 Ci/mg after removal of the labile tritium). Specific energy release of [3H]GO with this specific activity is 22.3 W/kg, which is quite sufficient for its application as a component of a nuclear battery.
