  • Publication number: 20120237782
    Abstract: A carbon coated aluminum foil as a cathode of solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. A surface of an aluminum foil is hit by ions turned into a rough surface. Then carbon atoms are mounted into the surface of the aluminum foil and accumulated sequentially to form a carbon film on the surface of the aluminum foil. Thus the carbon atoms are attached to the surface of the aluminum foil firmly due to the roughness of the surface. Moreover, the carbon film has good adhesion and electrical conductivity. Therefore, not only mechanical strength of the aluminum foil is increased dramatically, the electrical conductivity, capacitance ratio, power density and use life of capacitors are also improved significantly.
