Abstract

A power storage device includes: an electrode assembly, including a positive electrode, a separator, and a negative electrode; and an electrolyte solution. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector, and a negative electrode active material layer formed on a surface of the negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode is doped with lithium. The power storage device includes first through-holes penetrating the negative electrode current collector in a thickness direction thereof. On at least one side of the negative electrode current collector, the power storage device includes second through-holes penetrating the negative electrode active material layer in a thickness direction thereof. An aperture ratio of the first through-holes on the negative electrode current collector, or an aperture ratio of the second through-holes on the negative electrode active material layer is 0.001% or higher and 1% or lower.
