  • Publication number: 20070096055
    Abstract: An oxidizing agent useful for oxidative polymerization of high conductive polymers is provided. This oxidizing agent is a kind of organic metal complex formed of metal ion salts having oxidizing capability and nitrogen-containing compound having lone pair electrons with partial ?-electron character. This organic metal complex has weak oxidizing strength for monomers at room temperature. As such, a mixture of the organic metal complex and the monomers has long-term stability under room temperature. While, at a high temperature, the organic metal complex provides proper oxidative polymerization capability for the monomers. The conductive polymers synthesized by the organic metal complex have excellent conductivity.

  • Patent number: 7208104
    Abstract: A mixture solution for preparing conducting polymers. The conducting polymer is formed from a mixture of monomer and oxidant solution. The oxidant solution has a high concentration, and also includes a five or six-member ring compound with a functional group which acts as a retardant for the polymerization. Thus, the mixture of a monomer and oxidant solution exhibits excellent stability at room temperature. The conducting polymer accumulating in the space of the capacitor element can be more efficiently formed by using this high concentration oxidant solution. Therefore, the immersion and polymerization processes to form conducting polymer as the electrolyte of a solid electrolytic capacitor can be limited to only a few occurrences.
