To enable increasing the capacitance of a capacitor using an electrolyte of reducing ion electrolyte, in an electric double-layer capacitor.
An electric double-layer capacitor is provided with a carbon electrode and an electrolyte, and a reducing ion electrolyte wherein ammonium iodide is used, is used as the electrolyte. Also, sodium sulfide, potassium sulfide, lithium sulfide, sodium iodide or potassium iodide is used. The density of the reducing ion electrolyte is set at 0.1 mol/l (liter) or higher, and the active carbon having a specific surface area of about 2,000 m2/g is used as the material of the carbon electrode. In addition, although the reducing ion density has been obtained using a single material, but a plurality of materials may also be used together.
