High energy density storage device

摘要

A device and method for providing electrical energy storage of high specific energy density. The device contains a plurality of layers of high dielectric constant material, such as Barium Titanate or Hexagonal Barium Titanate, sandwiched between electrode layers made up of a variety of possible conducting materials. The device includes additional insulating layers, such as Diamond Like Carbon Coating, between the electrodes that provide for very high breakdown voltages. Layers are created by a variety of methods and assembled to form the device that is the High Energy Density Storage Device.
