CROSS-REFERENCE(S) TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. Section [120, 119, 119(e)] of Korean Patent Application Serial No. 10-2010-0075999, entitled “Electrochemical Capacitor And Method Of Manufacturing The Same” filed on Aug. 6, 2010, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this application. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to an electrochemical capacitor; and, more particularly, to a hybrid-type electrochemical capacitor which is provided with winding-type separators and stacking-type electrodes, and a method for manufacturing the same. 
     2. Description of the Related Art 
     In general, an electrochemical energy storage apparatus has been used as a core component of finished products in various appliances like portable information communication appliances, and electronic appliances. It is expected to be used as an innovative energy source in a new and renewable energy field applicable to the future electric vehicles and portable electronic devices. 
     Of the electrochemical energy storage apparatuses, an electrochemical capacitor may be divided into an electrical double layer capacitor employing an electrochemical double layer principle, and a hybrid super-capacitor employing electrochemical oxidation-reduction process. 
     Herein, the electrochemical double layer capacitor has been widely used in fields requiring high-output energy characteristics, but it has a problem of a low capacitance. In comparison, the hybrid super-capacitor has been actively researched as an alternative solution to improve capacitance characteristics of an electrical double layer capacitor. In particular, a Lithium Ion Capacitor LIC of hybrid super-capacitors may have a storage capacitance three and four times as large as the electrical double layer capacitor. 
     The electrochemical capacitor may be provided with cathodes and anodes alternately stacked, and separators which are interposed therebetween to electrically separate the stacked cathodes and anodes. 
     Meanwhile, the electrochemical capacitor may be classified into a winding-type electrochemical capacitor and a stacking-type electrochemical capacitor according to the way the cathodes, the separators, and the anodes are assembled together with one another. Herein, the winding-type electrochemical capacitor has a structure in which cathodes, separators, and anodes in a sheet shape for each of them are stacked in order and wound in a circle shape. The stacking-type electrochemical capacitor has a structure where cathodes and anodes with pattern shapes are alternately stacked with respect to the pattern-shaped separators interposed therebetween. 
     The winding-type electrochemical capacitor has a superior productivity to the stacking-type electrochemical capacitor, but it may have a problem in that crack occurs in a bending portion when winding is made, which results in short-defect between the cathodes and the anodes. In order to solve this problem, the winding-type electrodes are required to have binder&#39;s content at a high ratio, and thus the electrochemical capacitor has lowered electrical characteristics. Also, in case of the winding type, it is necessary to perform a rigid packaging process in order to keep the winding shape unchanged. 
     However, the winding type has no problems with short-defect or packaging caused by crack in comparison with the stacking type, but has disadvantages in that productivity is lowered due to individual handling of pattern-shaped cathodes, anodes, and separators. 
     Therefore, there has been a demand to develop a technology for a new electrochemical capacitor which can supplement both lacks of the winding-type and stacking-type electrochemical capacitors in the prior art. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

When describing them with reference to the drawings, the same or corresponding component is represented by the same reference numeral and repeated description thereof will be omitted.

       FIG. 4  is a cross-sectional view showing the electrochemical capacitor taken along a line II-II′ of  FIG. 2 . 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 4 , the electrochemical capacitor according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include first and second separators  110  and  130 , and first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4. The first and second separators  110  and  130  are wound in a spiral shape (hereinafter, referred to as ‘winding-type’), and the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 in sheet shapes are alternately stacked (hereinafter, referred to as ‘stacking-type’) and electrically separated by the first and second separators. Thus, the electrochemical capacitor  100  may have a hybrid type for providing advantages of the winding type and the stacking type. 
     A detailed description will be given of respective constructions in the electrochemical capacitor  100 . The electrochemical capacitor  100  may include first and second separators  110  and  130 , first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4, and first and second adhesion members  151  and  152 . The first and second separators are in sheet types for each of them (hereinafter, referred to as ‘sheet-shaped’), and the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 are in pattern shapes (hereinafter, referred to as ‘pattern-shaped’). 
     Herein, the first and second separators  110  and  130  may be formed in sheet types, and may be wound in roll shapes. At this time, the first and second separators  110  and  130  play a role of electrically separating the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 by being interposed between the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4. 
     The first and second separators  110  and  130  may be formed of insulating materials with durability against electrolyte solution and active material. Also, the first and second separators  110  and  130  may be porous for transferring of ions. As for the material of each of the first and second separators  110  and  130 , cellulose, polyethylene, polypropylene, and so on may be exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited by the materials of the first and second separators  110  and  130 . 
     The first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 may have pattern shapes and may be alternatively stacked. At this time, the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be electrically separated from one another by any one of the first and second separators  110  and  130 . 
     Herein, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be cathodes. At this time, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 each may include an cathode current collector  121  and an cathode active material layer  122  coated on both surfaces of the cathode current collector  121 . The cathode current collector  121  may be formed of any one metal selected from the group consisting of Al, Ta, Ti, and Ni. Also, the cathode current collector  121  may be in a thin-film shape and be provided with a plurality of through holes through which ions are effectively transferred. The cathode active material layer  122  may include a carbon material capable of reversibly doping or un-doping ions. For example, the carbon material may include activated carbon. 
     One side of each of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be provided with a first terminal  123  used to be electrically connected to an external power source. Herein, the first terminal  123  may be extensively formed from one side of the cathode current collector  121 . That is, the cathode current collector  121  and the first terminal  123  may be formed in a body. 
     The second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be anodes. At this time, the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 each may include a anode current collector  141  and a anode active material layer  142  coated on both surfaces of the anode current collector  141 . The anode current collector  141  may be formed of any one metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ni, and stainless. The anode current collector  141  may be in a thin-film shape, and may be provided with a plurality of through holes through which ions are effectively transferred. The anode active material layer  142  may be formed of a carbon material capable of reversibly doping or un-doping ions. For example, the anode active material layer  142  may include any one of activated carbon and graphite. 
     In addition, in case where the electrochemical capacitor  100  is a lithium ion capacitor, lithium ions may have been doped into the anode active material layer  142  in advance. 
     One side of each of the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be provided with a second terminal  143  used to be electrically connected to an external power source. Herein, the second terminal  143  may be extensively formed from one side of the anode current collector  141 . That is, the second terminal  143  and the anode current collector  141  may be formed in a body. 
     Although it has been illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention that the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 are cathodes and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 are anodes, the present invention is not limited thereto. In case where the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 are cathodes, the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be anodes. 
     The first adhesion member  151  may play a role of bonding and fixing the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 on the first separator  110 . Herein, the first adhesion members  151  may be made from a material (i.e., a composition including an adhesive resin with stability against the electrolyte solution and the first terminal  123 ) having no reactivity with electrolyte solution or the first terminal  123 . The adhesive resin may be any one selected from the group consisting of PTFE, PVP, PVdF, EPDM, PDMS, SBR, and CMC, or may be a mixture of two or more thereof. In addition to this, the composition may further include a solvent. As for the solvent, NMP, acetone, and distilled water may be exemplified. Herein, the adhesive resin may be dissolved in the solvent, and thus the composition may be formed in a liquid type. At this time, the first adhesion member  151  may be formed by coating the liquid composition either on the first separator  110  or the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5. 
     The second adhesion member  152  may play a role of bonding and fixing the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 on the second separator  130 . Herein, the second adhesion member  152  may be formed by selecting the compositions of the first adhesion member  151 . At this time, the first and second adhesion members  151  and  152  may be formed of the same composition as each other. The present invention is not limited thereto, and the first and second adhesion members  151  and  152  may also be formed of different compositions from each other. 
     A detailed description will be given of the electrochemical capacitor  100 . Both of the sheet-shaped first and second separators  110  and  130  may be spirally wound around one of the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4, that is, around the second electrode  140   n  which is disposed in the middle of the stacked second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4. At this time, the pattern-shaped first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be alternately stacked with respect to the first and second separators  110  and  130  interposed therebetween, respectively. That is, the electrochemical capacitor  100  may include the wound first and second separators  110  and  130 , and the alternately stacked first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 interposed between the wound first and second separators  110  and  130 . 
     Herein, since the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be bonded on the first and second separators  110  and  130 , respectively, it is possible to perform easy handling of the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 during a manufacturing process. 
     Also, as the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 are in pattern shapes, no bending portions are formed on the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 at the time of winding, as in the case of a wound type. Therefore, it is possible to prevent crack caused by bending portions of the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4. Thus, it is possible to prevent a short-defect between the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4, thereby improving the yield of the electrochemical capacitor  100 . Also, the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 have a structure which can prevent short-defect by their bending, so that it is possible to reduce a binder content in each of the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4, in comparison with a winding type. Thus, it is possible to reduce resistance of each in the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4, and thus to improve electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor  100 . 
     Both sides of the electrochemical capacitor  100  may be provided with the first and second terminals  123  and  143  disposed thereon, respectively. Herein, each of the first and second terminals  123  and  143  may be connected to an external power source. 
     In the case of the electrochemical capacitor  100 , a plurality of first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be bonded on the sheet-shaped first separator  110 . Herein, a plurality of first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be disposed in a row to be separated from one another at a predetermined interval. A partial region of the first terminal  123  disposed on one side of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 is disposed on the first separator  110 . At this time, by interposing the first adhesion member  151  between the first terminal  123  and the first separator  110 , the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be bonded and fixed on the first separator  110 . That is, the first adhesion member  151  may be disposed only on the partial region of the first terminal  123  overlapped with the first separator  110 . Thus, it is possible to prevent the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 or the first terminal  123  connected to the external power source from being contaminated due to the first adhesion member  151 , thereby minimizing a decrease in electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor  100 . Also, the first separator  110  is bonded to the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 in such a manner that its upper and lower portions are exposed, that is, the first separator  110  has a larger size than those of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5. Therefore, it is possible to stably prevent the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 from being short-circuited with second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 at the time of winding the first separator  110 . 
     The second separator  130  bonded to a plurality of the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be placed above the first separator  110  including the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5. A plurality of the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be disposed in a row to be separated from one another at a predetermined interval on the second separator  130 . Herein, the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be disposed to correspond to each other. At this time, an unoccupied space  145  corresponding to the first electrode  120   n  may be provided on an upper portion of one-side end of the second separator  130 , that is, a point where winding begins to be made. The first and second separators  110  and  130  may start to be wound while the second separator  130  covers the upper surface of the second electrode  140   n  disposed on one side of the unoccupied space  145 . That is, after the first and separators  110  and  130  finish to be wound, the second electrode  140   n  may be disposed in the middle of the stacked electrodes. 
     Thus, the middle-disposed second electrode  140   n  is wound by the second separator  130 , and thus electrically separated from the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −1 disposed above and below the second electrode  140   n . Also, as the electrochemical capacitor  100  has the unoccupied space  145  on the point where the second separator  130  starts to be wound, the number of the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be less by one than that of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5. In addition, the first electrodes  120   n −4 and  120   n −5 may be disposed on the uppermost and lowermost layers of the electrochemical capacitor  100 , respectively. 
     As in a case of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5, a partial region of the second terminal  143  disposed on one side of the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be disposed on the second separator  130 . At this time, by interposing a second adhesion member  152  between the second terminal  143  and the second separator  130 , the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be bonded and fixed on the second separator  130 . Herein, the second separator  130  is bonded on the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 in such a manner that its upper and lower portions are exposed, so that it is possible to stably prevent short-circuit between the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 at the time of winding the second separator  130 . 
     In case where the sheet-shaped first and second separators  110  and  130  are stacked, the first terminal  123  and the second terminal  143  are allowed to be disposed on both sides of the first and second separators  110  and  130 , respectively, so that it is possible to stably prevent short-circuit between the first and second terminals  123  and  143  at the time of its winding. 
     In addition, the electrochemical capacitor  100  may further include a fixing member  160  for fixing edge-ends of the wound first and separators  110  and  130 . The fixing member  160  may be a tape attached on ends where the first and second separators  110  and  130  finish to be wound. Also, the fixing member  160  may be an adhesive resin coated on ends where the first and second separators  110  and  130  finish to be wound. Also, the adhesive resin may use compositions constituting the first and second adhesion members  151  and  152 . 
     Also, the electrochemical capacitor  100  may further include an electrolyte solution where the first and second separators  110  and  130  and the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 are immersed. The electrolyte solution plays a role of a medium for transferring ions, and may be formed of a material which keeps ions stable due to non-occurrence of electrolysis at a high voltage. Herein, the electrolyte solution may include electrolyte and solvent. The electrolyte is in a salt state, for example, a lithium salt, or an ammonium salt. As for the solvent, propylene carbonate, diethylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, sulfolane, acetonitrile, dimethoxyethane, tetrahydrofuran, and so on may be exemplified. Herein, the solvents may be used individually or in combination with one or more thereof. However, the present invention is not limited by the material of the electrolyte solution. 
     Also, although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the electrochemical capacitor  100  may further include a housing which receives first and second separators  110  and  130  immersed into the electrolyte solution, and the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4. The housing may be formed by an aluminum can or an aluminum laminating, but the present invention is not limited by the materials and shapes of the housing. 
     Therefore, the electrochemical capacitor in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention is formed in a hybrid structure where includes winding-type separators and stacking-type electrodes, thereby implementing productivity&#39;s improvement, as well as yield&#39;s improvement. Herein, the productivity&#39;s improvement is provided by the winding-type separators, and the yield&#39;s improvement is provided by the stacking-type electrodes. 
     Also, the electrochemical capacitor according to the embodiment of the present invention can prevent short-defect of electrodes due to bending, which result in a decrease in binder&#39;s content in the electrodes. Therefore, it is possible to improve electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor. 
     Hereinafter, a process of manufacturing an electrochemical capacitor in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to  FIGS. 5 to 8 . 
       FIGS. 5 to 8  are cross-sectional views showing a process of manufacturing the electrochemical capacitor according to the second embodiment of the present invention, respectively. 
     Referring to  FIG. 5 , in order to manufacture the electrochemical capacitor, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be bonded in a row on the sheet-shaped first separator  110 . Herein, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 have pattern shapes. At this time, in case where the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 are cathodes, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 each may include an cathode current collector  121  and an cathode active material layer  122  coated on both sides of the cathode current collector  121 . A first terminal  123  extended from one side of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may further be disposed. The first terminal  123  may be connected to the cathode current collector  121 . Herein, the first terminal  123  and the cathode current collector  121  may be formed in a body. 
     The first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be bonded and fixed on the first separator  110  by the first adhesion member  151 . Herein, the first adhesion member  151  may include an adhesive resin with stability against the electrolyte solution and the first terminal  123 . For example, the adhesive resin may be any one selected from the group consisting of PTFE, PVP, PVdF, EPDM, PDMS, SBR, and CMC, or may be a mixture of two or more thereof. In addition to this, the composition may further include a solvent. As for the solvent, NMP, acetone, and distilled water may be exemplified. Herein, the adhesive resin may be dissolved in the solvent, and thus the composition may be formed in a liquid type. 
     Herein, the first adhesion member  151  may be formed on the first terminal  123  of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5. At this time, the first adhesion member  151  is coated only on a partial region of the first terminal  123  overlapped with the first separator  110 , in order to prevent the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 or the first terminal  123  from being contaminated by the first adhesion member  151 , so that it is possible to prevent a decrease of electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor. Herein, in case where the composition is formed in a liquid type, the first adhesion member  151  may be formed by a coating method. As for the coating method, an ink-jet printing, a screen printing, and a roll printing may be exemplified. Also, although it has been illustrated in the embodiment of the present invention that the first adhesion member  151  is formed on the first terminal  123 , the present invention is not limited thereto. Alternately, the first adhesion member  151  may be formed on the first separator  110  overlapped with the first terminal  123 . 
     Referring to  FIG. 6 , the pattern-shaped second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 are bonded in a row on the second separator  130  corresponding to the first separator  110  by using the second adhesion member (indicated by reference numeral  152  of  FIG. 4 ). Herein, after leaving the unoccupied space  45  corresponding to the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 on one-side end of the second separator  130 , that is, point where the winding starts to be made, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 are bonded in such a manner to correspond to the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 from the one side of the unoccupied space  145 . Herein, the bonding of the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be made by the bonding method of the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5, and thus the repeated description thereof will be omitted. 
     In case where the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 are cathodes, the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be anodes. At this time, the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 each may include a anode current collector  141  and a anode active material layer  142  coated on both sides of the anode current collector  141 . Herein, the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may further include a second terminal  143  which is connected to the anode current collector  141  and protruded from the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4. At this time, the anode current collector  141  and the second terminal  143  may be formed in a body. 
     Although it has been illustrated and described in the embodiment of the present invention that the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 are cathodes and the second electrodes  140   n  are anodes, the present invention is not limited thereto. The first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 may be cathodes, and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 may be anodes. 
     The first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 are bonded and fixed on the first and second separator  110  and  130  through the first and second adhesion members  151  and  152 , respectively. Therefore, in a winding process to be described later, it is possible to prevent the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 from being departed from the first and second separators  110  and  130 , thereby performing easy handling. 
     Thereafter, the second separator  130  with the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 is aligned on the first separator  110  with the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5. That is, the first separator  110  and the second separator  130  may be stacked to be opposed to each other. Thus, the second separator  130  may be disposed on the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5, and the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 are disposed to correspond to each other. At this time, the unoccupied space  145  corresponding to the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 is provided on a point where the second separator  130  begins to be wound. 
     Referring to  FIG. 7 , the aligned first and second separators  110  and  130  begin to be wound. At this time, when the first-time winding of the first and second separators  110  and  130  are made, the unoccupied space  145  of the second separator  130  is wound to cover the tope of the second electrode  140   n  disposed on one side of the unoccupied space  145  of the second separator  130 . Thus, at the time of next-time winding, the first electrodes  120   n −1 and  120   n  stacked on the upper and lower portions of the second electrode  140   n  disposed on one side of the unoccupied space  145  may be electrically separated from each other. 
     As shown in  FIG. 8 , by winding the stacked first and second separators  110  and  130  centering on the second electrode  140   n  disposed on one side of the unoccupied space  145  several times, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 are alternately stacked between the wound first and second separators  110  and  130 , respectively. Thus, the first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 alternately stacked to one another may be electrically separated by one of the first separator  110  and the second separator  130 . 
     In addition, after winding of the stacked first and second separators  110  and  130  are finished, a point where the first and second separators  110  and  130  finish to be wound may be fixed on the wound first separator  110  of being the outermost layer by using the fixing member  160 . Herein, as the fixing member  160 , a tape may be used. As other example of the fixing member  160 , an adhesive resin coated on a part of end-surface of the first and second separators  110  and  130 . 
     Also, although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the wound first and second separators  110  and  130  and the stacked first and second electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and  140   n  to  140   n −4 are received inside the housing. Thereafter, the electrolyte solution is injected into the housing, and then the opening of the housing is subjected to a sealing process. 
     Also, in case where the electrochemical capacitor  100  is a lithium ion capacitor, a process for preliminarily doping lithium ions to the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 (i.e., anodes) may further be performed prior to a process for bonding the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 on the second separator  130 . Also, after the first and second separators  110  and  130  with the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 bonded thereto are wound, there may be performed a process for preliminarily doping lithium ions to the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 (i.e., anodes). Herein, the process of preliminarily doping lithium ions may be performed either through short-circuit between the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 and lithium metals, or through a method for performing charging between the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 and performing discharging between the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 and the lithium metals several times. 
     In the embodiments of the present invention, since the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 with the pattern shapes are stacked, there is no bending portion on the electrodes, as in the case of the conventional winding type. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 from being cracked from the bending of the first and second electrodes, which results in an increase of the yield of the electrochemical capacitor  100 . 
     Also, it is unnecessary to add binder to the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 in consideration of the crack occurrence, which results in improvement of electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor  100 . 
     Also, the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4 are bonded and fixed on the first separator  110  and second separator  130  by the first and second adhesion members  151  and  152 , and thus the conventional winding scheme where tension is applied is used as it is, so that there is no need to deploy new equipment in manufacturing the hybrid-type electrochemical capacitor. Thus, it is possible to maximize the productivity, as in the case of the winding type. Moreover, it is possible to use the conventional equipment as it is, which results in a reduction of the cost taken for the production equipment. 
     Also, it is possible to manufacture the hybrid-type electrochemical capacitor even through the conventional winding scheme, and thus to secure close adhesion between the first electrodes  120   n  to  120   n −5 and the second electrodes  140   n  to  140   n −4. Therefore, it is possible to improve electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor. The electrochemical capacitor of the embodiments of the present invention includes winding-type separators and stacking-type electrodes, thereby satisfying both the productivity&#39;s improvement effect and the anti-short defect effect which are respectively provided by the stacking type and the winding type. 
     Also, the electrochemical capacitor according to the embodiments of the present invention can prevent short-defect between the electrodes due to their bending, so that it is possible to decrease binder&#39;s content of the electrodes. Therefore, it is possible to improve electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor. 
     Also, in the electrochemical capacitor according to the embodiments of the present invention, electrodes are bonded to separators, and thus an assembly process may be performed by using the conventional winding equipment. Therefore, there is no need to deploy additional equipment and there is an increase in the speed of the assembly process. 
     Also, in the electrochemical capacitor according to the embodiments of the present invention, an assembly process is performed by using the conventional winding equipment, thereby maintaining close adhesion between cathodes and anodes. Therefore, it is possible to improve electrical characteristics of the electrochemical capacitor. 
     As described above, although the preferable embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that substitutions, modifications and variations may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
