"sucrose and template material shape/ structure carbon... reactions occurring spontaneously when certain chemicals mix, releasing rapid, intense energy burst (ignites), forming carbon tubes with high concentration of reactive molecular rings of 5 carbon atoms, instead of typical 6... add microscopic pores, metastable configuration prevening lowest energy state... captures 99% its total capacity in 2 minutes... 60 watt-hours/ liter energy density, 4X better... supercapacitors, electrocatalysts, pollution capture, energy storage"
