In this video i take you through the process of making carbon nanofoam through hydrothermal synthesis. The foam has incredible surface area and as such will make a great supercapacitor electrode material. This video was based off of the paper "Ultralight carbon nanofoam from naphtalene-mediated hydrothermal sucrose carbonization" https://www.hawaii.edu/news/attachments/pdf7422_5421.pdf
