I came across this community in hopes of expanding my knowledge and satisfying my curiosity. So many unanswered questions. So many possibilities. So many potential outcomes.

Why are beta voltaic cells so inefficient? Is it because the incident electrons are incredibly fast? According to a research, the incident electrons that get absorbed by the voltaic material are so fast that most of their energy is wasted as phonon and sonic energy. If we substantially slow down the electrons; will the conversion efficiency rise? If yes, how slow should they be? And by how much will the efficiency rise?
