1. An energy storage device comprising:

  • a first electrode capable of storing a positive electrical charge;

    a second electrode capable of storing a negative electrical charge;

    a separator disposed between the first and the second electrodes, the separator creating a dielectric layer between the first and the second electrodes; and

    an electrolyte contacting the first electrode, the second electrodes, and the separator and creating an ionic interface with the first and second electrodes,wherein the separator comprises fibrous form chitosan capable of binding parasitic ions contained in the electrolyte, thereby preventing the free circulation of the parasitic ions within the electrolyte.
