  • Patent number: 10636573
    Abstract: A device and its method of manufacture, the device configured for providing electrical energy storage of high specific energy density. The device contains one or more layers of high dielectric constant material, such as Barium Titanate or Hexagonal Barium Titanate, sandwiched between electrode layers made up of one or more of a variety of possible conducting materials. The device includes one or more electrically insulating layers including carbon, such as carbon formed into diamond or a diamond-like arrangement, for insulating the electrode(s) from the dielectric layer(s) to provide for very high breakdown voltages with good heat conductivity. The layers can be created by a variety of methods including laser deposition, and assembled to form a capacitor device provides the high energy density storage.
