Abstract

A solid electrolytic capacitor includes an anode body, a dielectric coating provided on a surface of the anode body, and a first conductive polymer layer provided on the anode body. The first conductive polymer layer includes a bis(perfluoroalkanesulfonyl)imide anion and an organic solvent having a boiling point of 240° C. or higher.

Claims (34)
