Abstract

An electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element, and an electrolyte solution with which the capacitor element is impregnated. The capacitor element includes an anode foil having a dielectric layer on a surface thereof, and a solid electrolyte layer including a conductive polymer and in contact with the dielectric layer of the anode foil. The electrolyte solution contains at least one of polyalkylene glycol and a derivative of polyalkylene glycol, and at least one of diphenyl amine, naphthol, nitrophenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, and pyrogallol.

Claims (32)

1. An electrolytic capacitor comprising:

a capacitor element having:

an anode foil having a dielectric layer thereon; and

a solid electrolyte layer including a conductive polymer and in contact with the dielectric layer, and

an electrolyte solution with which the capacitor element is impregnated,

wherein the electrolyte solution contains:

a solvent including at least one of polyalkylene glycol and derivatives thereof, and

a component including at least one of diphenyl amine, naphthol, nitrophenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid, boric acid, boric-acid compounds, phosphoric acid, phosphoric-acid compounds, and complexes of mannitol and boric acid.

2. The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 ,

wherein the component contains at least one of catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, pyromellitic acid, and boric acid.

3. An electrolytic capacitor comprising:

an anode foil having a dielectric layer thereon;

a solid electrolyte layer including a conductive polymer and in contact with the dielectric layer;

a solvent in contact with the dielectric layer and including at least one of polyalkylene glycol and derivatives thereof; and

a component dissolved in the solvent and including at least one of diphenyl amine, naphthol, nitrophenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid, boric acid, boric-acid compounds, phosphoric acid, phosphoric-acid compounds, and complexes of mannitol and boric acid.

4. The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 3 ,

wherein the component includes at least one of catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, pyromellitic acid, and boric acid.

5. A manufacturing method for an electrolytic capacitor, the method comprising:

forming a capacitor element including an anode foil having a dielectric layer thereon, and a solid electrolyte layer including a conductive polymer and in contact with the dielectric layer; and

impregnating the capacitor element with an electrolyte solution,

wherein the solid electrolyte layer is formed by impregnating the capacitor element with a dispersion solution containing at least one of polythiophene and derivatives thereof dispersed in a dispersion medium, and removing the dispersion medium from the dispersion solution thereafter, and

the electrolyte solution contains:

a solvent including at least one of polyalkylene glycol and derivatives thereof, and

a dissolved component including at least one of diphenyl amine, naphthol, nitrophenol, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol trimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid, boric acid, boric-acid compounds, phosphoric acid, phosphoric-acid compounds, and complexes of mannitol and boric acid.

6. The method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the dissolved component includes at least one of catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogallol, pyromellitic acid, and boric acid.

7. The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 ,

wherein a total weight content of polyalkylene glycol and derivatives thereof in the solvent is 15 wt % or greater with respect to a weight of the electrolyte solution.

8. The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 3 ,

wherein a total weight content of polyalkylene glycol and derivatives thereof in the solvent is 15 wt % or greater with respect to a total weight of the solvent and the component.

9. The method according to claim 5 ,

wherein a total weight content of polyalkylene glycol and derivatives thereof in the solvent is 15 wt % or greater with respect to a weight of the electrolyte solution.
