  • Patent number: 11424078
    Abstract: An electrolytic solution for an electrolytic capacitor comprising an electrolyte and a solvent, in which the electrolyte contains an anion and a cation, and the anion is an anion having a structure obtained by removing at least one hydrogen ion from a carboxy group from a copolymer having a carboxy group, the copolymer having a carboxy group has a substituent having 5-20 carbon atoms bonded to a carbon atom of a backbone of the copolymer, the copolymer having a carboxy group does not include a hydroxy group or if it does include a hydroxy group, the content of monomers including a hydroxy group in the structural monomers of the copolymer having a carboxy group is less than 60 wt % based on the weight of all monomers constituting the copolymer having a carboxy group, and the copolymer satisfies a specific condition, and the solvent contains ethylene glycol.

  • Patent number: 11309136
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electrolyte solution for an electrolytic capacitor which has high withstand voltage. The electrolyte solution for an electrolytic capacitor that is used contains: an organic solvent; an acrylic polymer which has hydroxy group and/or carboxy group; and an electrolyte. A concentration of hydroxy groups included in the organic solvent is 10 mmol/g or less with respect to the weight of the organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 10879009
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide an electrolyte solution for electrolytic capacitors and an electrolytic capacitor, in which the electrolyte solution has high sparking voltage and good heat resistance and does not readily solidify even at low temperatures, so that the electrolytic capacitor can be driven even in cold areas. The electrolyte solution for electrolytic capacitors of the present invention contains a solvent (C); and an electrolyte, the electrolyte consisting of a salt of a diprotic acid component (A) and a base (B), the diprotic acid component (A) containing two or more diprotic acids, wherein the two or more diprotic acids are characterized such that a mixture (E) of two or more acid anhydrides corresponding to a diprotic acid mixture containing the two or more diprotic acids is a liquid at 50° C., with the molar ratio of the acid anhydrides being the same as that of the diprotic acids in the diprotic acid component (A).
