Abstract

Note: Electrostatic nanocapacitors also benefit from a very short distance between their electrodes, and electrostatic nanocapacitors are unique in this respect. If the electrodes are far apart, like charges on their surface strongly repel each other. When the electrodes are placed closer together, the negative and positive charges on either side balance these repulsive forces, and more total charge can be stored in a given area.The total thickness of each electrostatic nanocapacitor is only 25 nm, and many times they can be close together. So far, arrays of electrostatic nanocapacitors cannot store much total energy because they are too small. Electrostatic nanocapacitors contain billions of nanocapacitors to store large amounts of energy. Scaling up to a practical level is not trivial, but the pair work together to create larger arrays.
