Abstract:
An electrode for an electrochemical device includes a current collector, electrode layer, and active material layer. The electrode layer is formed on the current collector and contains an active material. The active material layer is formed in an area on the current collector where the electrode layer is not formed, and contains an active material. The electrode is capable of reducing the leak current while improving the device reliability.

An electric double-layer capacitor contains an electrolytic solution, wherein the electrolytic solution comprises 1.2 to 1.8 mol/L of spirobipyrrolidinium tetrafluoroborate as electrolyte as well as solvent, where the solvent contains 50 to 60 percent by volume of propylene carbonate, 30 to 36 percent by volume of dimethyl carbonate, and 4 to 20 percent by volume of ethyl methyl carbonate. The electric double-layer capacitor can maintain its initial high capacitance and low internal resistance, while undergoing smaller characteristic changes after being exposed to low-temperature environments, high-voltage environments or high-temperature environments.
Abstract:
An electrode for an electrochemical device includes a current collector and an electrode layer. The current collector has a main face and a side face. The side face has a concave-convex shape whose convex part is constituted by a projection extending along the main face. The projection is formed along a periphery of the electrode layer, forming a support portion. The electrode layer contains active material and is formed on and in contact with the main face including a surface formed by the support portion. The electrode is capable of mitigating the concentration of current at the edges of the electrode layer.
