What is a capacitor made of?

A basic capacitor is made up of two conductors separated by an insulator, or dielectric. The dielectric can be made of paper, plastic, mica, ceramic, glass, a vacuum or nearly any other nonconductive material. Some capacitors are called electrolytics, meaning that their dielectric is made up of a thin layer of oxide formed on a aluminum or tantalum foil conductor.

What makes the capacitor to store charges?

A capacitor consists of two plates (foils ...) separated by an insulating medium. The insulating medium may be air, oil, a plastic film, and so on, and is known as the dielectric. The charge on the capacitor is actually stored by slightly distorting the molecules in the dielectric. The quality of a dielectric is measured by a factor known as K, and a higher K means that the molecule can store a larger distortion. When we discharge the capacitor, the molecules are allowed to relax to their uncharged state.
