"cheap, eco-friendly... soot from rendered chicken fat carbon-based nanostructures, uniform spherical lattices of concentric graphite rings... enhance electrical characteristics soaking in thiourea solution... assembled into  asymmetric supercapacitor negative electrode, nanoparticles demonstrated good capacitance and durability, as well as high energy and power density. As predicted, these properties were improved further when the electrodes were made of the thiourea-treated carbon nanoparticles... light up red, green, blue LEDs"
