An electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process forms a radioluminescent phosphor and radioisotope composite layer on a conductive surface of a substrate. In the composite layer formed, the particles of radioisotope are homogeneously dispersed with the radioluminescent phosphor. The radioisotope may be a beta-emitter, such as Ni-63, H-3, Pm-147, or Sr-90/Y-90. By applying the composite layer using the EPD process, the electrode can be configured for betavoltaic, beta-photovoltaic and photovoltaic cells according to further embodiments. A direct bandgap semiconductor device can convert betas and/or photons emitted from composite layer. Methods and choice of materials and components produces a hybrid radioisotope battery, conversion of photons and nuclear decay products, or radioluminescent surfaces.

Described herein are methods for the surface deposition of polyionic species on a substrate surface. This deposition process can be triggered facilely by oxidizing organometallic species present on the surface of the substrate. This approach is quite general, affording quantitative deposition of polyionic species with a wide range of chemical identities (e.g., synthetic polymers, peptides and DNA) and molecular weights. This approach is in addition suitable for surface deposition of several types of functional materials, including proteins (antibodies), nanomaterials, colloids, lipid vesicles, among others.
