Method for manufacturing electrode material for aluminum electrolytic capacitor

Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to increase the thickness of a sintered body. Thus, the present invention provides a production method that is suitable for the production of anode electrode materials with high capacitance useful for medium- to high-voltage aluminum electrolytic capacitors, that does not involve an etching treatment, and that enables desired formation of the resulting electrode material for aluminum electrolytic capacitor into the desired shape. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for producing an electrode material for aluminum electrolytic capacitor, comprising the steps of: (1) forming, in a sintering mold, an unsintered laminate in which a substrate is held between compositions comprising a powder of at least one member selected from the group consisting of aluminum and aluminum alloys; and (2) sintering the unsintered laminate in the sintering mold, wherein the method does not comprise an etching step.
