Abstract
A method for storing energy in a capacitor includes connecting a first conductor to a first electrode. A second conductor is connected to a second electrode. The second electrode is separated from the first electrode by a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer includes a layer of boron nitride, BN. The conductivity of the dielectric layer is lower than the conductivity of the first electrode or the second electrode. A voltage of at least 5 volts is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode. The voltage is applied by means of the first and second conductors.
