Abstract

An electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body, a dielectric layer formed on the anode body, a first conductive polymer layer covering at least a part of the dielectric layer, and a second conductive polymer layer covering at least a part of the first conductive polymer layer. The first conductive polymer layer contains a first conductive polymer and a first silane compound. The second conductive polymer layer contains a second conductive polymer and a basic compound. The basic compound may be an amine compound.
