Abstract
Abstract An electric double layer capacitor which comprises a separator of electrically insulative material having ion permeability and polarizable electrodes of solid carbonaceous material being opposite to each other through the separator, which are sealed in a case. The separator and at least one of the polarizable electrodes are adhered or stuck to each other by adhesive or cohesive layers partially in a region in which the said polarizable electrode faces the separator.
