Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrolytic solution for driving an electrolytic capacitor, and more particularly to an electrolytic solution for driving an aluminum electrolytic capacitor for medium and high pressures. The present invention relates to an electrolytic solution for driving an electrolytic capacitor (hereinafter, referred to as an electrolytic solution) that realizes long-term stabilization of the life characteristics of the electrolytic capacitor. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, so-called ethylene glycol boric acid-based electrolytes in which boric acid or ammonium borate is dissolved in ethylene glycol are used as electrolytes for aluminum electrolytic capacitors for medium and high pressures, especially for 85 ° C. It is widely used for electrolytic capacitors. This type of electrolytic solution has excellent characteristics of flame retardancy, but on the other hand, the generation of esterified water by the esterification reaction between boric acid and ethylene glycol and the generation of hydrogen gas resulting therefrom, the electrolytic capacitor for 105 ° C. The situation was difficult to deal with. on the other hand,
An electrolytic solution using an ammonium salt of a dibasic acid having 8 to 22 carbon atoms for the purpose of improving the withstand voltage at high temperatures is also known. In the latter, despite being a monocarboxylic acid, they are used in combination with benzoic acid or a salt thereof, which is excellent in chemical conversion properties and has a benzene ring, which is stable at high temperatures. In an electrolytic solution obtained by dissolving benzoic acid or a salt thereof in ethylene glycol in combination with an ammonium salt of such a dibasic acid, although a significant improvement effect is observed in terms of heat resistance, the ester solution undergoes esterification at a high temperature. The reduction in capacity and the increase in tan δ due to the amidated precipitate covering the electrode surface could not be avoided. Although benzoic acid has very good thermal stability, it has a limit in withstand voltage. [0003] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by improving the electrolyte solution to improve the initial solution.
While keeping the tan δ value low, capacity change at high temperature and
It is an object of the present invention to provide a medium- and high-voltage capacitor that can suppress the increase in tan δ over a long period of time and has improved withstand voltage. [0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention relates to a monocarboxylic acid having a benzene group represented by Chemical formula 2 in an electrolytic solution for an electrolytic capacitor using a polyhydric alcohol as a main solvent. Or a salt thereof is dissolved. That is, ethylene glycol, 1,3-
This is an electrolytic solution in which at least one of the acids shown in Chemical Formula 1 or salts thereof (generally ammonium salts) is dissolved as a solute in a solvent mainly containing propanediol. [0005] When the number of carbon atoms in the side chain containing the carboxyl group added to the benzene ring is larger than that of benzoic acid, the withstand voltage of the electrolytic solution is improved. Further, since the benzene ring is formed by π-electron bonds, the stability of the electrolytic solution at high temperatures is maintained. Further, since the esterification reaction of the ammonium salt of the dibasic acid is moderated compared to the case of using benzoic acid,
A decrease in capacity and an increase in tan δ due to amidated precipitates are suppressed. Hereinafter, specific examples of the present invention will be described.
Table 1 shows the results of comparison of the composition, specific resistance, and spark generation voltage of the electrolytes of Examples of the present invention and conventional examples for medium and high pressures. In Table 1, electrolyte sample symbol A is a conventional example, and B,
C, D, and E are examples of the present invention, and F is a reference example. [Table 1] As is evident from Table 1, when the ammonium salt shown in Chemical Formula 1 is used in an almost equimolar amount to the ammonium benzoate used in the conventional example, the change in the specific resistance is very small, while the withstand voltage is small. The improvement is great. Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a medium containing ethylene glycol for medium pressure and containing 1 to 8% by weight of water is added to a salt of azelaic acid or a higher dibasic acid such as sebacic acid. An electrolyte in which the acid shown in Chemical Formula 1 or its ammonium salt is dissolved together with the salts of the present invention. Also, if necessary,
The properties can be further improved by adding boric acid, mannite, phosphorous acid, hypophosphorous acid or salts thereof. The amount of the acid or the salt thereof shown in Chemical formula 1 is preferably in the range of 0.5 wt% to 10 wt%. 0.5
If it is less than wt%, the effect of improving the withstand voltage will not be exhibited, and if it exceeds 10 wt%, the spark generation voltage will decrease. [0011] In addition to these examples, it is also possible to mix with other solutes or replace ethylene glycol with 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol to improve low-temperature characteristics. Application is possible. As described above, a monocarboxylic acid having a benzyl group represented by the above general formula or a salt thereof according to the present invention is used in an electrolytic solution for an electrolytic capacitor using a polyhydric alcohol as a main solvent. The solute electrolytic solution can improve the withstand voltage of the electrolytic solution and can maintain the stability of the electrolytic solution at a high temperature, so that it has great industrial and practical value. is there.
