Abstract

An electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body, a dielectric layer disposed on the anode body, and a solid electrolyte layer disposed on the dielectric layer. The solid electrolyte layer includes a self-doped conductive polymer and an organic alkali.

Claims (20)

1. An electrolytic capacitor comprising:

the first conductive polymer layer includes a self-doped conductive polymer and a first organic alkali,

the first organic alkali is distributed in an entirety of the first conductive polymer layer, and

the second conductive polymer layer includes a non-self-doped conductive polymer and a second organic alkali.

2. The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the self-doped conductive polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a self-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-conductive polymer and a self-doped poly(isothianaphthene)-based conductive polymer.

3. The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the self-doped conductive polymer has a sulfonate group or a salt of the sulfonate group.

4. The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the first organic alkali is an amine compound.

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

preparing an anode body on which a dielectric layer is formed;
