An inorganic/organic composite material which is advantageous in physical
characteristics (mechanical strength), chemical characteristics (thermal
stability) and electric characteristics (electric conductivity), as
compared with a sole system, as being compounded in nano order. An
improved energy storage device using the inorganic/organic composite
nano-beads, and especially an improved electrochemical capacitor for
covering the range of a power energy density which cannot be achieved
with devices of the prior art. A method of producing the
inorganic/-organic composite nano-beads.The inorganic/organic composite
nano-beads have a three-dimensional structure in which nuclei are made of
an inorganic material having a particle diameter of nano order and a high
electronic conductivity, and are covered with thin films of an organic
conductive material.
