Abstract:
When cellulose is used as a separator, the cellulose is impregnated with an ionic liquid. Charge and discharge are repeated with this separator touching a surface of a current collector; then, the separator is changed in color. Thus, it is an object to provide a power storage device with a structure in which a side reaction other than a battery reaction, e.g., a change in color of separator, is unlikely to occur. In the power storage device, a separator impregnated with an ionic liquid is not in contact with a surface of a current collector. The separator has a tubular shape, a bag-like shape, or a sheet-like shape. The separator includes cellulose. The power storage device including the ionic liquid is non-volatile and non-flammable. The power storage device can be bent.
