Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrolytic capacitor, especially, the electrolytic capacitor having a low impedance characteristic and a high withstand voltage characteristic.
- An electrolytic capacitor typically has such a structure shown in FIG. 1 . That is, an anode electrode foil 2 is made of a band-shaped high purity aluminum foil where the effective aluminum foil surface has been enlarged through etching process chemically or electrochemically, and an oxide film is formed on the surface, through a chemical process of treating the aluminum foil with a chemical solution such as ammonium borate aqueous solution and the like.
- a cathode electrode foil 3 is also made of an etched aluminum foil of high purity.
- Capacitor element 1 is formed by the anode electrode foil 2 and the cathode electrode foil 3 , wound together with intervening separator 11 made of manila paper and the like.
- the capacitor element 1 after impregnating with electrolyte solution for driving the electrolytic capacitors, is housed into a bottomed outer case 10 made of aluminum and the like.
- the outer case 10 is equipped at the opening with a sealing member 9 made of an elastic rubber, and is sealed by drawing.
- the anode electrode foil 2 and the cathode electrode foil 3 are each connected to lead wires 4 and 5 , employed as electrode leading means to lead the electrodes, by means of stitching, ultrasonic welding, and the like, as shown in FIG. 2 .
- Each of the lead wires 4 and 5 employed as electrode leading means is comprised of a rod member 6 made of aluminum, a connecting member 7 that comes into contact with each of the electrode foils 2 and 3 , and an outside connecting member 8 made of solderable metal which has been fixed at the tip of the rod member 6 .
- the electrolytic capacitor requires the withstand voltage characteristic of 28V and 84V and more. Furthermore, the electrolytic capacitors must withstand high temperature in this field, and a high temperature life characteristic is in demand.
- the electrolytic capacitor cannot cope with the low impedance characteristic as such. Moreover, although the withstand voltage of 28V is capable, the limit is 30V, and it cannot respond to the requirement of the high withstand voltage of 84V and more. Moreover, these electrolytic capacitors suffer from a problem that the electrolyte solution would leak between the sealing member 12 and the perforation hole of the lead wire 5 for leading the cathode electrode. The electrolyte solution leakage invites the deterioration electronically such as decline in electrostatic capacity of the electrolytic capacitor resulting in the disadvantage of the short life of the electrolytic capacitors.
- the present invention aims to provide an electrolytic capacitor, having a low impedance characteristic and a high withstand voltage characteristic of 100V class, and excellent in high temperature life characteristic and leakage characteristic.
- an electrolytic capacitor of the present invention comprising a capacitor element fabricated by winding an anode electrode foil provided with anode leading means and a cathode electrode foil provided with cathode leading means via a separator is impregnated with electrolyte solution, an outer case for housing the capacitor element, and a sealing member for sealing an open part of the outer case, wherein the electrolyte solution in use contains an aluminum tetrafluoride salt, wherein the electrolytic capacitor has a ceramics coating layer at a contact portion with the sealing member of the cathode leading means.
- FIG. 1 is an inner cross-sectional view showing a structure of electrolytic capacitor
- FIG. 2 is a decompositional oblique view showing a structure of electrolytic capacitor
- FIG. 3 is an inner cross-sectional view showing a structure of the large-sized electrolytic capacitor.
- Aluminum electrolytic capacitor has such a structure same as the conventional structure, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
- Capacitor element 1 is formed by an anode electrode foil 2 and a cathode electrode foil 3 , wound together with intervening separator 11 .
- lead wires 4 and 5 employed as the electrode leading means, are connected to the anode electrode foil 2 and the cathode electrode foil 3 , respectively.
- the lead wires 4 and 5 are comprised of connecting members 7 that come into contact with both electrode foils; rod members 6 which are connected to the connecting members 7 ; and outer connecting members 8 weld to the rod members 6 .
- each foil and lead wire is mechanically connected by means of stitching, ultrasonic welding, and the like.
- the anode electrode foil 2 used is one obtained in such a manner that an aluminum foil of a purity of 99% is subjected to chemical or electrochemical etching in an acidic solution to enhance the surface area thereof and then subjected to chemical treatment in an ammonium borate or ammonium adipate aqueous solution, so as to form an anode oxide film layer on the surface thereof.
- the capacitor element 1 impregnating with the electrolyte solution is housed in an aluminum cylindrical outer case 10 with a bottom, and a sealing member 9 , having a perforation hole for guiding the lead wires 4 and 5 , is inserted into an open end of the outer case 10 , and further, the open end of the outer case 10 is sealed by drawing to seal the electrolytic capacitor.
- a continuously pressed aluminum wire material is cut into a specified dimension to form an aluminum conductor comprised of rod member 6 and flat member 7 , which is subjected to chemical treatment, and anode oxide film is formed on the surface.
- an outer connecting member 8 made from CP wire is weld to the end face of the aluminum conductor, whereby the lead wires 4 and 5 are formed.
- a coating agent composed of metal alcoxide ceramics is discharged, coated, and heated, which are repeated, followed by the formation of coating layer on the aluminum conductor.
- Ceramics of the metal alcoxide ceramics include Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , MgO, H 2 BO 3 , Cr 2 O 3 , BaTiO 3 , PbTiO 3 , KTaO 3 , and the like. Further, the preferred ceramics are one kind or two kinds and more selected from Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , and ZrO 2 , as the ceramics to be used herein. Furthermore, taking the strength into consideration, the mixture made from Al 2 O 3 , and SiO 2 is preferable.
- a method of coating the rod member 6 by impregnating it with the coating agent is also available as the coating method. That is to say, this is the method of forming the coating layer on the aluminum conductor by impregnating the aluminum conductor with the coating agent, followed by thermal processing subsequent to impregnation to the coating agent repeatedly, followed by another thermal processing. After that, the flat member is impregnated with a methanol solvent, and then the coating layer is removed by means of ultrasonic waves and the like. The ceramic layer remains only on the rod member 6 . However, adjustment of the coating removal cannot be facilitated in this method.
- the discharging and coating method is ideal for accurately forming the coating layer on the rod member.
- the flat member 7 of the lead wires 4 and 5 formed accordingly are mechanically connected to the electrode foils 2 and 3 by means of stitching, ultrasonic welding, and the like.
- the coating layer is preferably formed before the capacitor production process.
- the ceramic coating layer should be formed at least on the rod member 6 of the lead wire 5 , in order to obtain a sufficient leakage prevention effect.

- the electrolytic capacitors suffer from a problem of electrolyte solution leakage from between the sealing member 9 and the rod member 6 of the lead wire during the life test.
- no liquid leakage is observed in the electrolytic capacitor of the present invention.
- the spontaneous immersion potential of the cathode lead wire 5 is noble as compared with the spontaneous immersion potential of the cathode electrode foil 3 .
- a local cell is formed by the cathode lead wire and the cathode electrode foil and thus a cathode current passes through the cathode lead wire. That is to say, a cathode current passes through the cathode lead wire both in the loaded and unloaded states.
- hydroxyl ion is formed at electrolyte solution interface between the rod member 6 and the connecting member 7 of the cathode lead wire.
- the hydroxyl ion thus formed reacts with a quaternized cyclic amidinium.
- the quaternized cyclic amidinium undergoes ring-opening to give a secondary amine.
- .-butyrolactone employed as the solvent also reacts with hydroxyl ion to give .-hydroxybutyric acid, and the pH is lowered. Due to a decline in the pH value, the secondary amine formed by the ring-opening of the quaternized cyclic amidinium undergoes ring-closure to give the quaternized cyclic amidinium salt again.
- the quaternized cyclic amidinium salt thus formed is not volatile but highly hygroscopic, there arises liquid leakage due to the hygroscopicity of the quaternized cyclic amidinium salt regenerated between the rod member and the sealing member of cathode lead wire.
- a ceramics coating layer is formed, and as a solute the aluminum tetrafluoride salt of the quaternized cyclic amidinium compound is used. For this reason, the cathode current flows to the cathode electrode foil. Most of the hydroxyl ions are generated in the cathode electrode foil. Further, when aluminum of high purity is used in the cathode tab, a difference in the potentials of the cathode electrode foil and the cathode tab gets large, and the hydroxyl ion generation at the cathode tab gets less.
- the aluminum tetrafluoride salt of the quaternized cyclic amidinium compound seems to show a less reactivity with the hydroxyl ion.

That is to say, this is a method of forming the coating layer on aluminum conductor by impregnating the aluminum conductor with the coating agent. After that, the flat member 7 is impregnated with a methanol solvent, and then the coating layer is removed by means of ultrasonic waves and the like. The ceramics layer remains only on the rod member 6 . However, adjustment of the coating removal cannot be facilitated in this method.

The entire contents of each of the above-identified applications are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to an electrolytic capacitor, especially, the electrolytic capacitor having a low impedance characteristic and a high withstand voltage characteristic.
- An electrolytic capacitor typically has such a structure shown in
FIG. 1 . That is, ananode electrode foil 2 is made of a band-shaped high purity aluminum foil where the effective aluminum foil surface has been enlarged through etching process chemically or electrochemically, and an oxide film is formed on the surface, through a chemical process of treating the aluminum foil with a chemical solution such as ammonium borate aqueous solution and the like. Acathode electrode foil 3 is also made of an etched aluminum foil of high purity.Capacitor element 1 is formed by theanode electrode foil 2 and thecathode electrode foil 3, wound together with interveningseparator 11 made of manila paper and the like. Next, thecapacitor element 1, after impregnating with electrolyte solution for driving the electrolytic capacitors, is housed into a bottomedouter case 10 made of aluminum and the like. Theouter case 10 is equipped at the opening with a sealingmember 9 made of an elastic rubber, and is sealed by drawing. - The
anode electrode foil 2 and thecathode electrode foil 3 are each connected tolead wires FIG. 2 . Each of thelead wires rod member 6 made of aluminum, a connectingmember 7 that comes into contact with each of theelectrode foils member 8 made of solderable metal which has been fixed at the tip of therod member 6. - Herewith, as electrolyte solution for driving the electrolytic capacitor having high conductivity, and to be impregnated to the capacitor element, wherein .-butyrolactone is employed as the main solvent composed of quaternized cyclic amidin compounds (imidazolinium cation and imidazolium cation) as the cationic component and acid conjugated bases as the anionic component are dissolved therein as the solute (refer to Unexamined Published Japanese Patent Application No. H08-321449 and No. H08-321441)
- However, due to the remarkable development of digital information devices in recent years, the high-speed driving frequency of micro-processor which is a heart of these electronic information devices is in progress. Accompanied by the increase in the power consumption of electronic components in the peripheral circuits, the ripple current is increased abnormally, and there is a strong demand for the electrolytic capacitors used in these circuits to have a low impedance characteristic.
- Moreover, in the field of vehicles, with the recent tendency toward improved automobile functions, a low impedance characteristic is in high demand. By the way, the driving voltage of the vehicle circuit of 14V has been progressed to 42V accompanied by the increase in the power consumption. To comply with such a driving voltage, the electrolytic capacitor requires the withstand voltage characteristic of 28V and 84V and more. Furthermore, the electrolytic capacitors must withstand high temperature in this field, and a high temperature life characteristic is in demand.
- However, the electrolytic capacitor cannot cope with the low impedance characteristic as such. Moreover, although the withstand voltage of 28V is capable, the limit is 30V, and it cannot respond to the requirement of the high withstand voltage of 84V and more. Moreover, these electrolytic capacitors suffer from a problem that the electrolyte solution would leak between the sealing
member 12 and the perforation hole of thelead wire 5 for leading the cathode electrode. The electrolyte solution leakage invites the deterioration electronically such as decline in electrostatic capacity of the electrolytic capacitor resulting in the disadvantage of the short life of the electrolytic capacitors. - The problem with a small-sized electrolytic capacitor has been described so far. A similar problem does exist with a large-sized electrolytic capacitor. That is to say, in regard to the electrolytic capacitor shown in
FIG. 3 , it had a problem of leakage occurring from a contact portion with therivet 15 and thesealing component 13 of the cathode electrode side. - Henceforth, the present invention aims to provide an electrolytic capacitor, having a low impedance characteristic and a high withstand voltage characteristic of 100V class, and excellent in high temperature life characteristic and leakage characteristic.
- According to an electrolytic capacitor of the present invention, comprising a capacitor element fabricated by winding an anode electrode foil provided with anode leading means and a cathode electrode foil provided with cathode leading means via a separator is impregnated with electrolyte solution, an outer case for housing the capacitor element, and a sealing member for sealing an open part of the outer case, wherein the electrolyte solution in use contains an aluminum tetrafluoride salt, wherein the electrolytic capacitor has a ceramics coating layer at a contact portion with the sealing member of the cathode leading means.

FIG. 2 is a decompositional oblique view showing a structure of electrolytic capacitor; and -
FIG. 3 is an inner cross-sectional view showing a structure of the large-sized electrolytic capacitor. - Aluminum electrolytic capacitor has such a structure same as the conventional structure, as shown in
FIGS. 1 and 2 .Capacitor element 1 is formed by ananode electrode foil 2 and acathode electrode foil 3, wound together with interveningseparator 11. Moreover, as shown inFIG. 2 ,lead wires anode electrode foil 2 and thecathode electrode foil 3, respectively. Thelead wires members 7 that come into contact with both electrode foils;rod members 6 which are connected to the connectingmembers 7; and outer connectingmembers 8 weld to therod members 6. Further, each foil and lead wire is mechanically connected by means of stitching, ultrasonic welding, and the like. - The
anode electrode foil 2 used is one obtained in such a manner that an aluminum foil of a purity of 99% is subjected to chemical or electrochemical etching in an acidic solution to enhance the surface area thereof and then subjected to chemical treatment in an ammonium borate or ammonium adipate aqueous solution, so as to form an anode oxide film layer on the surface thereof. - The
capacitor element 1 impregnating with the electrolyte solution is housed in an aluminum cylindricalouter case 10 with a bottom, and asealing member 9, having a perforation hole for guiding thelead wires outer case 10, and further, the open end of theouter case 10 is sealed by drawing to seal the electrolytic capacitor. - Further, in the present invention, a continuously pressed aluminum wire material is cut into a specified dimension to form an aluminum conductor comprised of
rod member 6 andflat member 7, which is subjected to chemical treatment, and anode oxide film is formed on the surface. After that, an outer connectingmember 8 made from CP wire is weld to the end face of the aluminum conductor, whereby thelead wires - That is to say, on the
rod member 6 of the aluminum conductor which forms the anode oxide film on the surface as per above, a coating agent composed of metal alcoxide ceramics is discharged, coated, and heated, which are repeated, followed by the formation of coating layer on the aluminum conductor. - Examples of ceramics of the metal alcoxide ceramics include Al2O3, SiO2, ZrO2, TiO2, MgO, H2BO3, Cr2O3, BaTiO3, PbTiO3, KTaO3, and the like. Further, the preferred ceramics are one kind or two kinds and more selected from Al2O3, SiO2, and ZrO2, as the ceramics to be used herein. Furthermore, taking the strength into consideration, the mixture made from Al2O3, and SiO2 is preferable.
- Moreover, a method of coating the
rod member 6 by impregnating it with the coating agent is also available as the coating method. That is to say, this is the method of forming the coating layer on the aluminum conductor by impregnating the aluminum conductor with the coating agent, followed by thermal processing subsequent to impregnation to the coating agent repeatedly, followed by another thermal processing. After that, the flat member is impregnated with a methanol solvent, and then the coating layer is removed by means of ultrasonic waves and the like. The ceramic layer remains only on therod member 6. However, adjustment of the coating removal cannot be facilitated in this method. The discharging and coating method is ideal for accurately forming the coating layer on the rod member. - The
flat member 7 of thelead wires electrode foils lead wire 5 to thecathode electrode foil 3. However, taking the coating precision into consideration, the coating layer is preferably formed before the capacitor production process. Furthermore, the ceramic coating layer should be formed at least on therod member 6 of thelead wire 5, in order to obtain a sufficient leakage prevention effect. - The electrolyte solution of the electrolytic capacitor used in the present invention contains an aluminum tetrafluoride salt.
- As the aluminum tetrafluoride salt constituting the aluminum tetrafluoride as anion component, examples of this salt include an ammonium salt, an amine salt, a quaternary ammonium salt, or a quaternary cyclic amidinium ion as cation component, can be used. Examples of an amine constituting the amine salt include a primary amine (such as methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, ethylenediamine, monoethanolamine, and the like); secondary amine (such as dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, ethyl-methylamine, diphenylamine, diethanolamine and the like); and tertiary amine (such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, triethanolamine, and the like).

- Furthermore, as for salt containing the quaternized cyclic amidinium ion as a cationic component, the quaternized cyclic amidinium ion is a cation formed by quaternized a cyclic compound having an N,N,N′-substituted amidine group, and the following compounds are exemplified as the cyclic compound having an N,N,N′-substituted amidine group. They are an imidazole monocyclic compound (for example, an imidazole homologue, such as 1-methylimidazole, 1-phenylimidazole, 1,2-dimethyl-imidazole, 1-ethyl-2-methylimidazole, 2-ethyl-1-methylimidazole, 1,2-diethylimidazole, 1,2,4-trimethylimidazole and the like, an oxyalkyl derivative, such as 1-methyl-2-oxymethylimidazole, 1-methyl-2-oxyethyl-imidazole, and the like, a nitro derivative such as 1-methyl-4(5)-nitroimidazole, and the like, and an amino derivative such as 1,2-dimethyl-5(4)-aminoimidazole, and the like), a benzoimidazole compound (such as 1-methylbenzoimidazole, 1-methyl-2-benzylbenzoimidazole, 1-methyl-5(6)-nitrobenzo-imidazole and the like), a compound having a 2-imidazoline ring (such as 1-methylimidazoline, 1,2-dimethylimidazoline, 1,2,4-trimethylimidazoline, 1-methyl-2-phenylimidazoline, 1-ethyl-2-methylimidazoline, 1,4-dimethyl-2-ethyl-imidazoline, 1-methyl-2-ethoxymethylimidazoline, and the like), a compound having a tetrahydropyrimidine ring (such as 1-methyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine, 1,2-dimethyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0] undecen-7,1,5-diazabicyclo[4,3,0]-nonene-5, and the like), and the like.
- The solvent in use for electrolyte solution according to the present invention comprises a polar protic solvent, a polar aprotic solvent, and their mixture thereof. Examples of the polar protic solvent include monohydric alcohols (such as ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, cyclo-butanol, cyclo-pentanol, cyclo-hexanol, benzyl alcohol, and the like); and polyhydric alcohol and oxy alcohol compounds (such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerine, methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, methoxy propylene glycol, dimethoxy propanol, and the like). Moreover, representative examples of the aprotic polar solvent include amide series (such as N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N-ethylformamide, N,N-diethylformamide, N-methyl acetamide, N,N-dimethyl acetamide, N-ethyl acetamide, N,N-diethyl acetamide, hexamethylphosphoric amide, and the like); lactone compounds (such as .-butyrolactone, .-valerolactone, .-valerolactone, and the like); sulfolane series (such as sulfolane, 3-methyl sulfolane, 2,4-dimethyl sulfolane, and the like); cyclic amide compounds (such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and the like); carbonate compounds (such as ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, isobutylene carbonate, and the like); nitrile compound (such as acetonitrile, and the like); sulfoxide compound (such as dimethyl sulfoxide, and the like); 2-imidazolidinone solvents [for example, 1,3-dialkyl-2-imidazoridinone (such as 1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazoridinone, 1,3-diethyl-2-imidazoridinone, 1,3-di(n-propyl)-2-imidazoridinone, and the like); and 1,3,4-trialkyl-2-imidazoridinone (such as 1,3,4-trimethyl-2-imidazoridinone, and the like)], and the like. Among them, .-butyrolactone is preferably used because the impedance characteristic improves. Sulfolane, 3-methyl sulfolane, and 2,4-dimethyl sulfolane are preferably used because the high temperature characteristic improves. Ethylene glycol is preferably used because the withstand voltage characteristic improves.
- Herewith, in the electrolyte solution containing quaternized cyclic amidinium salts as the solute, and employing .-butyrolactone as the solvent, although the electrolytic capacitors suffer from a problem of electrolyte solution leakage from between the sealing
member 9 and therod member 6 of the lead wire during the life test. In contrast thereto, no liquid leakage is observed in the electrolytic capacitor of the present invention. Namely, in a normal electrolytic capacitor, the spontaneous immersion potential of thecathode lead wire 5 is noble as compared with the spontaneous immersion potential of thecathode electrode foil 3. When a direct current is loaded, therefore, more cathode current passes through the cathode lead wire than through the cathode electrode foil. Moreover, when left standing unloaded, a local cell is formed by the cathode lead wire and the cathode electrode foil and thus a cathode current passes through the cathode lead wire. That is to say, a cathode current passes through the cathode lead wire both in the loaded and unloaded states. As a result, hydroxyl ion is formed at electrolyte solution interface between therod member 6 and the connectingmember 7 of the cathode lead wire. - Then, the hydroxyl ion thus formed reacts with a quaternized cyclic amidinium. The quaternized cyclic amidinium undergoes ring-opening to give a secondary amine. When hydroxyl ion is formed, however, .-butyrolactone employed as the solvent also reacts with hydroxyl ion to give .-hydroxybutyric acid, and the pH is lowered. Due to a decline in the pH value, the secondary amine formed by the ring-opening of the quaternized cyclic amidinium undergoes ring-closure to give the quaternized cyclic amidinium salt again. Since the quaternized cyclic amidinium salt thus formed is not volatile but highly hygroscopic, there arises liquid leakage due to the hygroscopicity of the quaternized cyclic amidinium salt regenerated between the rod member and the sealing member of cathode lead wire.
- However, in the present invention, at a contact portion with the sealing member of the cathode leading means, a ceramics coating layer is formed, and as a solute the aluminum tetrafluoride salt of the quaternized cyclic amidinium compound is used. For this reason, the cathode current flows to the cathode electrode foil. Most of the hydroxyl ions are generated in the cathode electrode foil. Further, when aluminum of high purity is used in the cathode tab, a difference in the potentials of the cathode electrode foil and the cathode tab gets large, and the hydroxyl ion generation at the cathode tab gets less. Furthermore, the aluminum tetrafluoride salt of the quaternized cyclic amidinium compound seems to show a less reactivity with the hydroxyl ion. These synergistic effects prevent the leakage. The leakage is similarly prevented in the unloaded state.
- Subsequently, the second electrolytic capacitor of the present invention will be explained. An electrolytic capacitor of the present invention is comprising a capacitor element fabricated by winding an anode electrode foil provided with anode leading means and a cathode electrode foil provided with cathode leading means via a separator is impregnated with electrolyte solution, an outer case for housing the capacitor element, and a sealing member for sealing an open part of the outer case, wherein the electrolyte solution in use contains an aluminum tetrafluoride salt, is forming an insulating synthetic resin layer at a contact portion with the sealing member of the cathode leading means.
- The electrolytic capacitor has the same structure as the first electrolytic capacitor, however, the present invention employs the coating of aluminum conductor as the cathode leading means, by forming the insulating synthetic resin layer.
- Examples of insulating synthetic resin material include thermosetting resin such as epoxy resin, phenol resin, furan resin, melamine resin, xylene resin, guanamine resin, and the like; and thermoplastic resin such as fluorocarbon resin, polybutadiene, polyamido, polyamido-imido, polyarylate, polyphenylenesulphide polyimido, polyether imide, polyetheretherketone, polycarbonate, poly vinyl formal, liquid crystal polymer, ketone resin, cumarone resin, MBS resin, and the like. These materials may be used in combination with coupling agent such as silane, titanate, and the like.
- That is to say, the insulating synthetic resin layer is formed on the aluminum conductor by discharging and coating a coating agent to the
rod member 6 of the aluminum conductor followed by the drying process to form the anode oxide film on the surface. The coating agent is comprised of insulating synthetic material melt adjusted by appropriate solvent or by heating, without employing the coupling agent, or after forming the coupling agent by coating and drying the coupling agent. - Alternatively, a molded synthetic resin film, having a thermal melting property, is employed as the
rod member 6, followed by its thermal processing. - Moreover, a method of coating the
rod member 6 by impregnating with the coating agent is also available as the coating method. That is to say, this is a method of forming the coating layer on aluminum conductor by impregnating the aluminum conductor with the coating agent. After that, theflat member 7 is impregnated with a methanol solvent, and then the coating layer is removed by means of ultrasonic waves and the like. The ceramics layer remains only on therod member 6. However, adjustment of the coating removal cannot be facilitated in this method. The discharging and coating method is ideal for accurately forming the coating layer on the rod member. - Herewith, a behavior of the electrolyte solution leakage is similar to the first electrolytic capacitor, however, in the present invention, an insulating synthetic resin layer is formed on a contact portion with the sealing member of the cathode leading means, and as solute, the aluminum tetrafluoride salt of quaternary cyclic amidinum compound is utilized. Thus, the current passing through the cathode leading means is controlled, and the generation of hydroxyl ion near the cathode leading means is reduced. Then, the reactivity of aluminum tetrafluoride salt of the quaternary cyclic amidinum compound with the hydroxyl ion is seemingly less. Thus, these synergistic effects prevent the liquid leakage. The leakage is similarly prevented in the unloaded state.
- Subsequently, the third electrolytic capacitor of the present invention will be described. According to the electrolytic capacitor of the present invention comprises the capacitor element fabricated by winding an anode electrode foil and a cathode electrode foil via a separator is impregnated with the electrolyte solution, an outer case for housing the capacity element, and wherein the electrolyte solution in use contains an aluminum tetrafluoride salt, and as sealing member, a partial cross-linking peroxide butyl rubber that added peroxide as cross-linking agent to a butyl rubber polymer comprised of isobutylene, isoprene, and divinylbenzene copolymer is used.
- Structure of this electrolytic capacitor is same as the first electrolytic capacitor of the present invention. However, in the present invention, a partial cross-linking peroxide butyl rubber that added peroxide as cross-linking agent to a butyl rubber polymer comprised of isobutylene, isoprene, and divinylbenzene copolymer is used as the sealing member. Examples of vulcanizing agents used in the vulcanization of peroxides include ketone peroxides, peroxy ketals, hydro-peroxides, dialkyl peroxides, diacyl peroxides, peroxy dicarbonates, peroxy esters, and the like. Specific examples are 1,1-bis-t-butylperoxy-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, n-butyl-4,4-bis-t-butylperoxy-valerate, dicumyl peroxide, t-butyl-peroxy-benzoate, di-t-butyl-peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, 1,3-bis (t-butyl peroxy-isopropyl) benzene, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di-t-butylperoxyl-hexene-3, t-butyl peroxy cumene, .,.’bis(t-butylperoxy) diisopropylbenzene, and the like.
- According to the electrolytic capacitor of the present invention, a partial cross-linking peroxide butyl rubber that added peroxide as cross-linking agent to a butyl rubber polymer comprised of isobutylene, isoprene, and divinylbenzene copolymer is used as the sealing member. The electrolyte solution containing the aluminum tetrafluoride salt is used. The electrolytic capacitor of the present invention has a low impedance characteristic, and a high withstand voltage characteristic of 100V class. The high temperature life characteristic is improved further by the excellent high temperature characteristics of the electrolyte solution and the sealing member of the present invention.
- Moreover, the quaternary cyclic amidinium compound tends to cause leakage due to the reaction with the hydroxyl ion generated in the vicinity of the cathode leading means, however, the electrolyte solution used in the present invention seemingly has a less reactivity with the hydroxyl ion, and owing to the excellent sealability between the perforation hole of the sealing member and the lead wire, the leakage characteristic is further improved by these synergistic effects.
- The large-sized, fourth electrolytic capacitor will be described subsequent to the small-sized electrolytic capacitor that has been described so far.

In other words, the coating layer is formed on therod member 16 of therivet 15 by discharging and coating with the coating agent made of metal alcoxide ceramics, followed by drying the aluminum conductor. Herewith, taking the leakage prevention effect into consideration, the coating layer should at least be formed on therod member 16 of therivet 15. Moreover, preferably, the rivet may be subjected to chemical treatment prior to coating, and the anode oxidation film is formed on its surface. - The ceramics coating material and the coating method adopted here are the same as the first electrolytic capacitor.

cathode leading terminal 19 may be similarly coated replacing the cathodeelectrode side rivet 15. - Then, the
capacitor element 1 formed accordingly is impregnated with the electrolyte solution for driving electrolytic capacitor. The electrolyte solution in use is the same as the first electrolytic capacitor. - The electrode leading terminal of the
capacitor element 1 impregnated with the electrolyte solution as per above is connected to lower ends of therivets capacitor element 1 is housed into a cylindricalouter case 10 with a bottom, made from aluminum. Then, the sealingcomponent 13 is inserted to the open end of theouter case 10. Further, the end part of theouter case 10 of the electrolytic capacitor is sealed by drawing and bending. - According to the large-sized electrolytic capacitor as such, an electrochemical relationship exists between a cathode electrode foil and a
cathode lead wire 5 described previously regarding the small-sized electrolytic capacitor likewise exists between the cathodeelectrode side rivet 15 or the cathodeelectrode leading terminal 19 and the cathode electrode foil. The leakage might be occurring. To comply with this, in the present invention, the ceramics coating layer is formed on the cathodeelectrode side rivet 15 or thecathode leading terminal 19, so that the current does not pass through the cathodeelectrode lead terminal 19 or the cathodeelectrode side rivet 15 both in the loaded and unloaded states, and the leakage is thought to be prevented. - According to the electrolytic capacitor of the present invention, it has the low impedance characteristic and the high withstand voltage characteristic of 100V class, and the excellent leakage characteristic. Moreover, the high temperature life characteristic is also excellent.

- Structure of this electrolytic capacitor is similar to the fourth electrolytic capacitor. However, in the present invention, the cathode
electrode side rivet 15 of the cathode electrode side is coated by the insulating synthetic resin layer. In other words, the coating layer is formed on therod member 16 of therivet 15 by discharging and coating with the coating agent made of metal alcoxide ceramics, followed by drying of the aluminum conductor. Herewith, taking the leakage prevention effect into consideration, the coating layer should at least be formed on therod member 16 of therivet 15. Moreover, preferably, the rivet may be subjected to chemical treatment prior to coating, and the anode oxidation film is formed on its surface. - The ceramics coating material and the coating method adopted here are the same as the first electrolytic capacitor.
- Herewith, a behavior of the electrolyte solution leakage is similar to the first electrolytic capacitor, however, in the present invention, an insulating synthetic resin layer is formed on the cathode

- Furthermore, the first to fifth electrolytic capacitors of the present invention will be described. The electrode foil subjected to phosphate treatment is used as the electrode foils. The present invention is still effective by using the electrode foil subjected to phosphate treatment as one of the cathode electrode foil and the anode electrode foil. Deterioration of both foils is prevented if this is applied to both foils so normally both foils are subjected to phosphate treatment.

In other words, in case of performing the high temperature life test by using the aluminum tetrafluoride salt, the reactivity of the electrolyte solution with the electrode foil gets large due to the moisture inside the electrolyte solution, and the characteristics are affected. However, since the electrolytic capacitor of the present invention utilizes the electrode foil subjected to phosphate treatment, the reaction of the electrode foil with the electrolyte solution is controlled, whereby the high temperature life characteristic is stabilized.
