Abstract

Disclosed is an organic electrolytic cell comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a solution of lithium salt in an aprotic organic solvent as an electrolytic solution. A current collector of positive electrode and a current collector of negative are respectively provided with pores piercing from the front surface to the back surface, an active material of negative electrode is capable of reversibly carrying lithium, and lithium originating in the negative electrode is carried by electrochemical contact with lithium arranged to face the negative or positive electrode. An opposed area of said lithium is not more than 40% of an area of the negative electrode.
