Abstract: Provided is an electrode body that exhibits a good cathode side capacitance, and an electrolytic capacitor provided with this electrode body. The electrode body used for a cathode of the electrolytic capacitor has a cathode foil and a carbon layer. The cathode foil is made of a valve acting metal, and an enlarged surface layer is formed on the surface thereof. The carbon layer is formed on the enlarged surface layer. The interface between the enlarged surface layer and the carbon layer has an uneven shape.

Abstract: An electrode foil that progresses an enlargement of the surface area of a dielectric film and that barely causes cracks at the time of winding, a winding capacitor obtained by winding the electrode foil, an electrode foil manufacturing method, and a winding capacitor manufacturing method are provided. An electrode foil 1 is formed of a belt-like foil, and has a surface enlarged part 3, a core part 2, and a plurality of separation parts 4. The surface enlarged part 3 is formed on the surface of the foil, and the core part 2 is a part remained when excluding the surface enlarged part 3 within the foil. The separation part 4 extends on the surface enlarged part 3, dividing the surface enlarged part 3. The plurality of separation parts 4 share bending stress when the electrode foil 1 is wound, preventing concentration of stress.

Abstract: An object is to suppress generation of molecular hydrogen from atomic hydrogen generated in a capacitor so as to suppress a rise in pressure of the capacitor due to the increased molecular hydrogen. A capacitor (2) includes a capacitor element (6) formed by winding an anode foil (14) and a cathode foil (16), and an outer case (4) storing the capacitor element therein. A hydrogen reaction film (22) reactive with atomic hydrogen generated in the outer case is formed on a surface of the cathode foil.

Abstract: An electrode foil that progresses an enlargement of the surface area of a dielectric film and that barely causes cracks which would even break a core part at the time of winding, a winding capacitor obtained by winding the electrode foil, an electrode foil manufacturing method, and a winding capacitor manufacturing method are provided. An electrode foil is formed of a belt-like foil, and has a surface enlarged part, a core part, and a plurality of separation parts. The surface enlarged part is formed on the surface of the foil, and the core part is a part remained when excluding the surface enlarged part within the foil. The separation part extends in a width direction of the belt in the surface enlarged part, dividing the surface enlarged part. The plurality of separation parts share bending stress when the electrode foil is wound, preventing concentration of stress.
