Abstract

An electric double layer capacitor, including at least one basic cell, an electrode plate, and an outer package which covers the basic cell and the electrode plate in a decompression state. The basic cell may be laminated in its thickness direction to form a layered cell and includes a separator, a pair of polarized electrodes disposed so as to sandwich the separator, a pair of collectors disposed so as to sandwich the polarized electrodes, and a gasket disposed between the pair of collectors so as to surround the pair of polarized electrodes. The electrode plate body is attached to each of the collectors located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of the layered cell. A sealing material having a higher gas barrier property than the collectors is disposed so as to seal an interface between the collectors and the electrode plate in the outer package.

Claims (28)

1. A battery comprising:

at least one basic cell containing an electrolyte inside thereof, said basic cell may be laminated in its thickness direction to form a layered cell, including:

a separator;

a pair of polarized electrodes disposed so as to sandwich and make contact with said separator;

a pair of collectors disposed so as to sandwich said polarized electrodes, each one of said pair of collectors making contact with the surface of one of said pair of polarized electrodes which opposes the surface making contact with said separator; and

a gasket disposed between said pair of collectors so as to surround said

pair of polarized electrodes;

an electrode plate including an electrode body and a lead terminal extending from said electrode plate body, said electrode plate body being attached to the outer surface of each one of said collectors located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of said basic cell;

an outer package which covers said basic cell and said electrode plate in a decompression state; and

a scaling material having a higher gas barrier property than said collectors, said sealing material being disposed so as to seal an interface between each one of said collectors, which are located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of said basic cell, and said electrode plate body in said outer package.

2. A battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the gas permeability coefficient of each one of said collectors is at least 1×10 −12 [m 3 /(m 2 ·s·Pa)].

3. A battery according to claim 1 , wherein

said electrode plate body extends in a circumferential direction thereof, and

said sealing material is disposed between said extended portion of each one of said electrode bodies so as to surround said basic cell.

4. A battery according to claim 2 , wherein

said electrode plate body extends in a circumferential direction thereof, and

said scaling material is disposed between said extended portion of each one of said electrode bodies so as to surround said basic cell.

5. A battery according to claim 1 , wherein

said sealing material is disposed between an outer periphery portion of each one of said collectors, which are located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of said basic cell, and said electrode plate body.

6. A battery according to claim 2 , wherein

said sealing material is disposed between an outer periphery portion of each one of said collectors, which are located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of said basic cell, and said electrode plate body.

7. A battery according to claim 1 , wherein

said electrode plate body is disposed on each one of said collectors, which are located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of said basic cell, so as to be located more inwardly with respect to the outer periphery portion of each one of said collectors, and

said sealing material is disposed so as to surround said electrode plate body and cover portions of each one of said collectors not covered by said electrode plate body.

8. A battery according to claim 2 , wherein

said electrode plate body is disposed on each one of said collectors, which are located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of said basic cell, so as to be located more inwardly with respect to the outer periphery portion of each one of said collectors, and

said sealing material is disposed so as to surround said electrode plate body and cover portions of each one of said collectors not covered by said electrode plate body.
