Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of a multilayer structure comprising a first layer, a second layer and a third layer for example to form a capacitor. The multilayer structure comprises a first layer, a second layer and a third layer, wherein the first layer and the third layer each form at least one of at least two electrodes and comprise one or more pyrolyzed carbon nanomembranes or one or more layers of graphene, and the second layer is a dielectric comprising one or more carbon nanomembranes.
