  • Publication number: 20210343482
    Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor according to the present disclosure includes an anode body, a cathode body, a solid electrolyte, and a liquid component. The anode body has a surface on which a dielectric layer is to be formed. The solid electrolyte is in contact with the dielectric layer and is disposed between the anode body and the cathode body. The liquid component is in contact with the dielectric layer and the solid electrolyte and contains a solvent and an acid component. The acid component includes a composite acid compound of an inorganic acid and an organic acid. The solvent contains a polyol including two or more hydroxyl groups and a polyalkylene glycol having three or more carbon atoms per repeating unit.

  • Patent number: 9153384
    Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element and an electrolyte solution impregnated in the capacitor element. The capacitor element includes an anode foil, cathode foil, separator, and a solid electrolytic layer. The anode foil has a dielectric layer on its surface, and the cathode foil confronts the anode foil. The separator is interposed between the anode foil and the cathode foil. The solid electrolytic layer is formed on the surfaces of the anode foil, cathode foil, and separator as an aggregate of fine particles of conductive polymer. The separator has an air-tightness not greater than 2.0 s/100 ml. Sizes of the fine particles measure not greater than 100 nm in diameter, and an amount of the fine particles contained falls within a range from 0.3 mg/cm2 to 1.2 mg/cm2, inclusive, as converted to weight per unit area of the anode foil.
