Abstract:
The electrolytic capacitor and the electric double-layer capacitor both have difficulties to satisfy recent demands that the capacitor should have lower resistance, larger capacitance and moreover smaller size and thinner film thickness, altogether. The present invention provides a wet electrolytic capacitor which comprises a porous anode substance wherein at least a surface of a porous material made of a powder of a valve metal is an oxide film of the valve metal, a cathode formed of either an active carbon layer or a porous material made of a powder of a valve metal and an acid electrolytic solution contained between the porous anode substance and the cathode electrode.

Abstract:
A small battery and an electric double layer capacitor exhibit adequate cell voltage and capacitor withstand voltage. Specifically, the battery or electric double layer capacitor includes basic cells having a pair of electrodes oppositely laminated via the separator, and an electrolyte are packaged in a resin sheet package. The basic cells are laminated in series via a sheet current collector. The sheet current collector extends to an edge of the resin sheet package around the periphery of the basic cells laminated on both sides of the current collector. The sheet current collector is glued or fused to the resin sheet in its edge. The adjacent basic cells via the sheet current collector are fluid-tightly separated within the resin sheet package.
