A Study of Gamma-Irradiation's Impact on the Super capacitive Performance of Copper Oxide Thin Films | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

The most recent innovation in energy storage technology is the supercapacitor, which offers a number of advantages including power performance, stability, and the use of materials that are less expensive. Supercapacitors may be employed in space technology due to their small weight and suitability for power applications, in addition to these advantages. Any electronic device's properties may be changed by exposure to radiation when it is used in a space satellite or in radiation atmospheres. Supercapacitors have recently been tested using batteries in tiny spacecraft that orbit the earth. CuO thin films that have been chemically produced are affected by gamma-irradiation at dosages of 50, 100, and 150 kGy on their structural, morphological, and supercapacitive characteristics. Researchers will have a better grasp of the changes, evolution, and device manufacturing of metal oxide-based supercapacitors to be employed in gamma-radiation environments thanks to the outcomes of this research.
