The lithium ion capacitor of the present invention is an energy storage device for storing energy by utilizing the intercalation of lithium ions into a carbon material such as graphite serving as a negative electrode. The lithium ion capacitor of the present invention includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolytic solution according to the first aspect of the present invention including a lithium salt as dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent and a non-aqueous electrolytic solution according to the second aspect of the present invention including a lithium salt as dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent. It is referred to as a lithium ion capacitor (LIC). Examples of the positive electrode include: a lithium ion capacitor utilizing an electric double layer between an activated carbon electrode and an electrolytic solution, and a lithium ion capacitor utilizing the doping/dedoping reaction of a n-conjugated polymer electrode. In the electrolytic solution, at least a lithium salt such as LiPF6 is included. In addition, as a negative electrode, the same negative electrode as the negative electrode of the aforementioned lithium secondary battery can be used.
Hereinafter, Examples of the non-aqueous electrolytic solution of the present invention are shown, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples.
