Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A disclosed electrolytic capacitor includes a capacitor element. The capacitor element includes an anode body, a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the anode body, a cathode body, and a electrolyte layer and a separator that are disposed between the dielectric layer and the cathode body. The electrolyte layer includes a non-aqueous solvent, conductive particles, and a conductive polymer. An amount of the conductive particles present in a first portion included in the electrolyte layer and located on the dielectric layer side is different from an amount of the conductive particles in a second portion included in the electrolyte layer and located on the cathode body side.

1 . An electrolytic capacitor comprising a capacitor element, wherein the capacitor element includes an anode body, a dielectric layer formed on a surface of the anode body, a cathode body, and an electrolyte layer and a separator that are disposed between the dielectric layer and the cathode body, the electrolyte layer includes a non-aqueous solvent, conductive particles, and a conductive polymer, and an amount of the conductive particles present in a first portion included in the electrolyte layer and located on the dielectric layer side is different from an amount of the conductive particles in a second portion included in the electrolyte layer and located on the cathode body side. 2 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte layer includes a dopant of the conductive polymer. 3 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 2 , wherein the dopant is a polymeric dopant containing an acidic group, and the electrolyte layer includes an electrolytic solution including the non-aqueous solvent and a base component dissolved in the non-aqueous solvent. 4 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 3 , wherein a content of the base component in the electrolytic solution is 0.1 mass % or more and 20 mass % or less. 5 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 2 , wherein a mass of the conductive particles included in the electrolyte layer is larger than a total mass of the conductive polymer and the dopant included in the electrolyte layer. 6 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein a content C1 (vol %) of the conductive particles in the first portion is in a range of 0 to 0.5 times a content C2 (vol %) of the conductive particles in the second portion. 7 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive particles are unevenly distributed in the second portion. 8 . The electrolytic capacitor according to claim 6 , wherein the cathode body is a metal foil, and the conductive particles are metal particles.
