Abstract

The solid electrolytic capacitor according to the present invention is a solid electrolytic capacitor including a valve metal, an oxide film layer formed on a surface of the valve metal, and a solid electrolyte layer formed on the oxide film layer, wherein the solid electrolyte layer contains a conductive polymer and a gel of an organic solvent solidified with a chemical gelling agent.

Claims (12)

1. A solid electrolytic capacitor comprising a valve metal, an oxide film layer formed on a surface of the valve metal, and a solid electrolyte layer formed on the oxide film layer,

wherein the solid electrolyte layer comprises a conductive polymer and a gel of an organic solvent solidified with a chemical gelling agent,

the chemical gelling agent is selected from combinations of monomers or oligomers having one or more polymerizable functional groups per molecule and polymerization initiators, and combinations of polymers having two or more functional groups serving as staring points of crosslinking and crosslinking agents, and

the gel has a melting point of 160° C. or more.

2. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the gel has a melting point of 180° C. or more.

3. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 2 , wherein the gel has a melting point of 260° C. or more.

4. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the solid electrolyte layer is a solid electrolyte layer formed by forming a conductive polymer layer on the oxide film layer, and then impregnating the conductive polymer layer with the organic solvent containing the chemical gelling agent to gel the organic solvent.

5. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 wherein the solid electrolyte layer is a solid electrolyte layer formed by gelling a conductive polymer solution containing the conductive polymer, the chemical gelling agent, and the organic solvent.

6. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the gel comprises a gel electrolyte formed by solidifying an electrolyte solution containing the organic solvent and an electrolyte.

7. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 6 , wherein the solid electrolyte layer is a solid electrolyte layer formed by forming a conductive polymer layer on the oxide film layer, and then impregnating the conductive polymer layer with the electrolyte solution containing the chemical gelling agent to gel the electrolyte solution.

8. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 6 , wherein the solid electrolyte layer is a solid electrolyte layer formed by gelling a conductive polymer solution containing the conductive polymer, the chemical gelling agent, the organic solvent, and an electrolyte.

9. The solid electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the valve metal is at least one selected from aluminum, tantalum, niobium, tungsten, titanium, and zirconium or at least one selected from alloys of the valve metals.
