Abstract: The electric double-layer capacitor of the present invention comprises an electrolyte solution comprising ?-butyrolactone as the solvent and a coated electrode. The coated electrode is produced by using water as the solvent, and prepared by coating a slurry onto a current collector, wherein the slurry consists of an electrode material which is the solute, an electrically conductive auxiliary agent, and an elastomer having an expansion rate of 50% or less in ?-butyrolactone at 85° C. after 100 hours as the binding agent. For example, a styrene-butadiene elastomer is employed as the elastomer. Because expansion rate in ?-butyrolactone is low, deterioration of internal resistance does not occur. Styrene-butadiene elastomer is easy to handle since water can be used as the solvent for the slurry.
