Electric double layer capacitor and method for producing the same.

摘要

An electric double layer capacitor having polarizable electrodes (106, 107) including activated carbon fibers which are fully activated and have a large specific surface area, and a method for making the same. Each of the polarizable electrodes is composed of an activated carbon element having a surface fiber ratio (total geometric surface area of fabric/total geometric surface area of secondary fibers or strands) of 0.01 or more. Each activated carbon element is in the form of a woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, felt or the like including activated carbon fibers.
