This paper reports the effect of electron beam irradiation on CuO thin films synthesized by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method copper foil for supercapacitor biocompatibility application. Pristine irradiated samples were characterized X-ray diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy, field emission scanning microscopy, transmission electrochemical study. pure monoclinic phase, with uniform nanostructures over whole foil. After irradiation, had formed innovative nanostructures. Biocompatibility pristine suggest that sample is non-toxic ecofriendly. The specific capacitance strongly depends surface morphology, electrodes after showed superior performance than CuO. highest 20kGy nanoflowers exceeded 511Fg-1 at 10mVs-1 in 1M KOH electrolyte. Irradiated also lower ESR, to other report electrical energy storage materials.
