Electrolytic capacitor and method for manufacturing same

A method for manufacturing an electrolytic capacitor, the method comprising:

• a step of obtaining an aggregated particle mixture by mixing first aggregated particles and second aggregated particles, the first aggregated particles being obtained by aggregating first particles having an average particle diameter D1, the second aggregated particles being obtained by aggregating second particles having an average particle diameter D2 larger than the average particle diameter D1;
• a step of obtaining a molded body by molding the aggregated particle mixture;
• a step of obtaining an anode body including a first region in which the first particles sintered together and a second region in which the second particles sintered together by sintering the molded body;
• a step of forming a dielectric layer on a surface of the anode body;
• and
• a step of forming a cathode part that covers at least part of the dielectric layer,
• wherein a volume-based pore diameter distribution of the anode body before forming the dielectric layer has a first peak in a range of less than or equal to 0.5 μm in pore diameter, and a second peak in a range of more than 0.5 μm in pore diameter.
