ALUMINUM FOIL FOR ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR

摘要

An aluminum foil for electrolytic capacitor electrodes comprises a foil substrate and zinc phosphate composite particles containing at least zinc and phosphorous or zinc phosphate composite particles containing at least zinc and phosphorous and further containing one or more elements selected from the group consisting of iron, manganese, nickel, cobalt, calcium, and magnesium adhered to the surface of the foil substrate. When the aluminum foil is subjected to etching treatment, the zinc phosphate composite particles are dissolved preferentially, resulting in the formation of nuclei of etch pits, which leads to the uniform formation of a number of etch pits. As a result, high capacitance is achieved.
