Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hydrophobic film is formed on the electrode foil surface by adding a straight-chain saturated dicarboxylic acid represented by the general formula: HOOC(CH 2 ) n COOH (wherein n indicates an integer from 9 to 11) to the electrolytic solution for medium/high-voltage electrolytic capacitor. Addition of a large amount of water to the electrolytic solution is allowed since this hydrophobic film suppresses the hydration reaction between the electrode foil and water. Further, it is possible to retain good lifespan property of the electrolytic capacitor in a medium/high-voltage electrolytic solution by having low specific resistance property and by suppressing the hydration decomposition of the electrode foil, wherein the electrolytic solution is azelaic acid, sebacic acid, 1-methyl-azelaic acid, 1,6-decanedicarboxylic acid, or a salt thereof dissolved in a solvent having ethylene glycol as the main component.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrolytic solution for electrolytic capacitor, wherein at least one of azelaic acid, sebacic acid, 1-methyl-azelaic acid, 1,6-decanedicarboxylic acid, and a salt thereof is dissolved as a solute in ethylene glycol and 15-50 wt % of the total electrolytic solution of water, a straight-chain saturated dicarboxylic acid represented by general formula (1) is added for forming a hydrophobic film on an electrode foil: HOOC(CH 2 ) n COOH  (1) where…
