  • Patent number: 8279581
    Abstract: An electrolytic solution for an electrolytic capacitor includes a solvent and an electrolyte dissolved in the solvent. This electrolyte includes at least one of a carboxylic acid and a salt of the carboxylic acid. The carboxylic acid has a carboxyl group and at least one or more of substituents bonded to each terminal carbon of a straight main chain. The substituent bonded to the each terminal carbon of the main chain is hydrophilic, and/or a hydrophilic substituent is bonded to at least one of carbons other than the both terminal carbons of the main chain.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6970343
    Abstract: An aluminum electrolytic capacitor produced by winding an anode foil 11 and a cathode foil 12 via a separator 13 impregnated with a driving electrolyte solution 14, wherein the driving electrolyte solution 14 comprises a polar solvent, at least one electrolyte selected from inorganic acids, organic acids, inorganic acid salts, and organic acid salts, and a random copolymer of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene having a hydroxy group at one end and a hydrogen group at the other end and the separator 13 is formed by overlaying a cellulosic fiber-mixed paper, a cellulosic fiber paper, and a cotton linter. The present invention provides a long-lasting driving electrolyte solution higher in electric conductivity and superior in the chemical self-restoring ability and heat resistance at high temperature, and an aluminum electrolytic capacitor using the same.

  • Patent number: 6839222
    Abstract: An electrolytic capacitor including a positive foil, a negative foil and an intervening separator which contains a polymeric electrolyte composite. The polymeric electrolyte composite contains electrolyte in the matrix of copolymeric acrylic ester. The separator contains at least either one of rayon fiber and cotton linter. Or, other separator takes the form of several overlaid sheets, each of the sheet being made of a cellulose fiber. The above-configured electrolytic capacitors have the advantages of high withstanding voltage, high heat resisting property and long life.
