  • Patent number: 9865402
    Abstract: An anode body for an electrolytic capacitor, prepared by sintering a tungsten powder to obtain a sintered body and subjecting the obtained sintered body to chemical conversion to form a dielectric layer comprising a tungsten trioxide compound on the surface of the sintered body, wherein the ratio of the hydration water in the tungsten trioxide compound becomes one molecule or less to 10 molecules of the tungsten trioxide compound. Use of the anode body of the present invention enables production of a tungsten capacitor, which is reduced in the capacitance change due to DC voltage (bias dependency).

  • Publication number: 20160322168
    Abstract: A method of producing an anode body of a capacitor, which includes: forming a sintered body of tungsten powder; forming a dielectric body layer on a surface of the sintered body; and bringing the dielectric body layer into contact with an alkoxide compound of a valve metal after the formation of the dielectric body layer. The treatment step is performed so that: (A) a ratio of a mass reduction of the sintered body having formed thereon the dielectric body layer after differential thermal analysis from 100° C. to 300° C. to a mass of the sintered body before the analysis is 0.02% or less; (B) a ratio of a number of atoms of the valve metal other than tungsten to a number of tungsten atoms in a surface layer of the dielectric body layer is from 0.05 to 0.35; or (C) the requirements of (A) and (B) are satisfied.
