Abstract
An electrolytic capacitor employs an electrolyte having amic acid salts prepared in situ in the electrolyte by reacting a cyclic anhydride with ammonia or an amine in an aprotic solvent acting as an acceptor in hydrogen bonding and thereafter adding glycol.
Claims4
An electrolytic capacitor comprising separated electrodes, at least one of said electrodes bearing a dielectric oxide, an electrolyte bridging the separation between said electrodes, said electrolyte being an in situ produced amate salt solute dissolved in a mixed solvent of an aprotic solvent which is an acceptor in hydrogen bonding and glycol.
A process for preparing a capacitor electrolyte comprising reacting a cyclic anhydride with a member selected from ammonia and an amine in an aprotic solvent acting as an acceptor in hydrogen bonding to form an amate salt solute, and then adding glycol to effect solubilization of said amate.
