Abstract

A solid electrolytic capacitor element includes an anode body; a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the anode body; a solid electrolyte layer that covers at least a portion of the dielectric layer; and a carbon layer that covers at least a portion of the solid electrolyte layer and contains carbon particles. The carbon layer shows a D/G ratio of 1.5 or less, the D/G ratio being a ratio of an intensity of a D band relative to an intensity of a G band in a Raman spectrum of the carbon layer.

Claims (19)

1 . A solid electrolytic capacitor element comprising:

an anode body;

a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the anode body;

a solid electrolyte layer that covers at least a portion of the dielectric layer; and

a carbon layer that covers at least a portion of the solid electrolyte layer and contains carbon particles,

wherein the carbon layer shows a D/G ratio of 1.5 or less, the D/G ratio being a ratio of an intensity of a D band relative to an intensity of a G band in a Raman spectrum of the carbon layer;

the carbon particles have an average particle size D50 of 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less; and

the carbon layer contains a cellulose resin having a carboxy group or a salt thereof.

2 . The solid electrolytic capacitor element in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the D/G ratio is 1 or less.

3 . The solid electrolytic capacitor element in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the carbon particles include flake-shaped particles.

4 . A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising at least one of the solid electrolytic capacitor elements in accordance with claim 1 , and a resin outer housing made of an insulating resin around the at least one of the solid electrolytic capacitor elements.

5 . The solid electrolytic capacitor element in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the cellulose resin includes carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC).

6 . A carbon paste for a solid electrolytic capacitor element that is used to form a carbon layer included in the solid electrolytic capacitor element, the carbon paste comprising: carbon particles; and a dispersion medium,

wherein a dried coating film formed using the carbon paste shows a D/G ratio of 1.5 or less, the D/G ratio being a ratio of an intensity of a D band relative to an intensity of a G band in a Raman spectrum of the dried coating film;

the carbon particles have an average particle size D50 of 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less; and

the carbon layer contains a cellulose resin having a carboxy group or a salt thereof.
