There is a report that polyacetylene is used as an electrode. According to this method, the performance of the battery itself is almost satisfactory, but there is a drawback in that the electrode polyacetylene itself is unstable. The present inventors have developed a battery using a carbon fiber, particularly a carbon fiber having a large specific surface area, as an electrode and applied for a patent (Japanese Patent Application No. 56-134690) as a solution to the above drawbacks. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a battery which is lighter in weight and higher in energy density than a conventionally known one, but there is room for devising to obtain a battery having better performance. For example, when the battery is used as a secondary battery. If the charge / discharge characteristics are improved and the voltage holding property of the battery is improved, it can be expected that the use of the battery can be remarkably expanded.
