1. An energy storage device comprising at least one metallized substrate with a coating of an aluminum ion storage material, a counterelectrode, a nonwoven separator component, a package material including an electrical contact component, wherein said electrical contact includes a portion present internally within said package material and a portion present external to said package material, and at least one liquid electrolyte, wherein said energy storage device is manufactured through the steps of:
a. providing said electrode having at least one metallized substrate with a coating of an aluminum ion storage material;
b. providing said counterelectrode;
c. layering said electrode and said counterelectrode opposite each other with said nonwoven separator component interposed between said electrode and said counterelectrode;
d. providing said package material including said electrical contact component;
e. electrically connecting said electrical contact with said at least one metallized substrate to form an electrical connection between said electrical contact and said at least one metallized substrate;
f. introducing said at least one liquid electrolyte wherein ions thereof are present internally within said package material; and
g. sealing said package material.
