ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITOR

An electrochemical cell includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte solution. The positive electrode and/or the negative electrode includes a penetrating portion that penetrates the electrodes in the thickness direction. Further, an electrochemical capacitor includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte solution. In a plane of projection in which a region carrying a negative electrode active material of the negative electrode is projected onto a region carrying a positive electrode active material of the positive electrode along a opposed direction, the ratio of an area carrying the positive electrode active material to an area carrying the negative electrode active material is less than l.
