A method of fabricating a storage element

A method of fabricating a storage element is described, which comprises the steps as described below. With respect to each gasket, laminating together as a single unit the separator-side gasket thereof, which has a hole with an inside dimension of substantially the same size as the outside dimension of the solid electrode, with the collector-side gasket thereof, which has a hole with an inside dimension that is larger than the inside dimension of the hole of the separator-side gasket, to thereby form a pair of gaskets of multiple-layer construction. Next, bonding each of collector plates to each of the collector plate-side gaskets respectively of the gaskets. Afterwards, injecting electrolytic solution into each of the interior spaces of the gaskets. Then arranging each of the solid electrodes inside a respective one of the gaskets and connecting one surface of each of the solid electrodes to a respective collector plate. After that, joining the pair of gaskets together such that the other surface of each of the solid electrodes confronts each other through the interposed separator.
