A method of making a radioisotopic power source, including receiving a predetermined amount of a plurality of Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) particles within a reactor vessel, degassing the received predetermined amount of the MOF. The degassing includes placing the predetermined amount of the MOF under vacuum conditions, heating the received predetermined amount of the MOF above a first predetermined temperature for a first predetermined time period, and sealing the heated MOF. The method also includes cooling the heated and sealed predetermined amount of the MOF to a second predetermined temperature, while maintaining a pressure of the reactor vessel to a first predetermined pressure value for a second predetermined time period, receiving a predetermined amount of a plurality of beta emitter particles at a gaseous state and mixing the predetermined amount of beta emitter particles with the cooled predetermined amount of the MOF.
