Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain electrolytic capacitors having low electric resistance and excellent high-temperature stability by using a driving electrolyte solution made by dissolving quaternary ammonium salt of hypophosphorous acid in a polar organic solvent. CONSTITUTION:A driving electrolyte solution made by dissolving quaternary ammonium salt of hypophosphorous acid in a polar organic solvent is used. As quaternary ammonium salt of hypophosphorous acid to be used here, it is desirable the number of carbons of the alkyl radical (R) of quaternary ammonium expressed by an equation R4N<+> should be 1-10, especially 1-4. Besides, it is desirable that the content of the quaternary ammonium being hypophosphorous acid in the composition of an electrolytic solution should be 1-50wt.%. Particularly, it is desirable that the content should be 5-40wt.% to obtain better high-temperature stability. Doing this makes it possible to obtain electrolytic capacitors having smaller impedance variations and excellent high-temperature stability under high-temperature conditions.

In the present invention, it is not necessary to include water in the electrolytic solution, but it is effective to lower the specific resistance. However, if the water content is increased beyond a certain limit, it will increase the swelling of the electrolytic capacitor case due to internally generated gas and the vocal corrosion of the electrode foil. It is preferable that the water content be as low as possible. Therefore, depending on the intended use of the capacitor, the water content should be between 0.1 and 20% in the electrolyte composition.
A range of % by weight is preferred, and a range of 0.5 to 15% by weight is more preferred.
