Abstract: An electrochemical capacitor capable of improving discharge characteristics is provided. A cathode and an anode are laminated with a separator in between. The cathode includes a cathode active material layer on one surface of a cathode current collector, and the anode includes an anode active material layer on one surface of an anode current collector. Both of the cathode active material layer and the anode active material layer include both of an ionic liquid and a polymer compound together with the active materials. Since the ionic liquid is retained by the polymer compound in the cathode and the anode, discharge capacity is less likely to be reduced.

Abstract: There is provided a fuel cell capable of ensuring high safety, and capable of obtaining favorable characteristics such as power density. As a first fluid containing an electrolyte, an ion conductor in which an organic compound which is solid at a room temperature and which has at least one of a sulfonic acid group and a phosphoinic acid group is dissolved in a solvent flows through an electrolyte path arranged between a fuel electrode and an oxygen electrode. Thereby, it is possible to suppress resistance between the fuel electrode and the oxygen electrode low. Also, in the case where the solvent is evaporated due to an environmental change, since that organic compound remains as solid, a surrounding member is unlikely to be corroded.
