Very interesting. It turns out that the current state of the art in
this has the supercapacitors being produced using *standard DVD drives*!!

Here we demonstrate a scalable fabrication of graphene
micro-supercapacitors over large areas by direct laser writing on
graphite oxide films using a standard LightScribe DVD burner. More
than 100 micro-supercapacitors can be produced on a single disc in 30?
min or less... These micro-supercapacitors demonstrate a power density
of ~200?W?cm?3, which is among the highest values achieved for any
supercapacitor.
