NOVELTY - Energy storage device comprises anode; solid multilayer electrolyte having alternating anionic and cationic exchange polymer electrolyte layers, where anionic exchange polymer electrolyte layer comprises polymer having chemically bound positive ions and electrostatically bound negative ions, and cationic exchange polymer electrolyte layer with polymer having chemically bound negative ions and electrostatically bound positive ions; and cathode, where anionic exchange polymer electrolyte layers is adjacent the cathode and cationic exchange polymer electrolyte layers is adjacent anode.    USE - As energy storage device such as capacitors, batteries, and ultracapacitors, to store or create energy by utilizing electric charge on two metal or electrodes.    ADVANTAGE - The device has solid multilayer dielectrics with alternating polarized polymer layers that can have breakdown voltages in excess of 120 V/micrometer and low leakage current as result of high resistivity of inherently non-electrically conductive electrolyte layers. The high dielectric permittivity of solid multilayer dielectrics combined with modest plate surface area and high voltage can result in high energy density structures having large total energy storage capacity; thus increasing electrolyte charge density can increase resulting polarized permittivity. The presence of polarized molecules can alter electric field between plates, with direction of electric field illustrated going from positive to negative. The overall field can be reduced, allowing more electrons to crowd onto plates, thus increasing charge that can be held by capacitor. The polymer electrolytes can act as adhesive to bind conductive particle electrode to interior face of outer layer i.e. metal foil. The polymer electrolytes can also serve dielectric function by modulating electric field at surface of the particles, and increasing charge capacity of electrode and the cell. The polymer electrolytes can also fill void between particles, preventing any voids from creating paths to dielectric layer. The loading of conductive graphite powders in graphite composite electrodes is high enough to achieve electrical conductivity, but not so high as to impede the dielectric access of ions to the conductive surfaces. The flat cells can allow for the use of prismatic shape or other shapes for devices, to generate energy storage devices that are efficient in space and volume. The flat sheets can be laminated together to form a cell of the energy storage device; that can allow for generation of energy storage devices having the ability to cycle and re-cycle with good power delivery. The energy storage devices exhibits behavior analogous to electrochemical battery at lower voltages, but can transition to electrostatic capacitor behavior as voltages rise; and also provides large total energy storage capacity.
