Provided is an electrolytic solution suitable for use in a 100 WV class electrolytic capacitor having low inductance at low temperatures and high durability in high-temperature use conditions. This electrolytic solution for an electrolytic capacitor contains: a mixed organic solvent including sulfolane and &#x3b3;-butyrolactone; water; an electrolyte selected from the group consisting of a quaternized pyridinium salt of carboxylic acid and a quaternized imidazolinium salt of carboxylic acid; boric acid; and mannitol; and has a mass ratio of boric acid and mannitol in the range of 1:1.2 to 1:1.6, and a total amount of boric acid and mannitol of 10.0 to 14.5% by mass of the total electrolytic solution, the water content being 1.5 to 2.0% by mass of the total electrolytic solution.

Electrolytic solution for electrolytic capacitor, and electrolytic capacitor

Disclosed are an aluminum electrolytic capacitor having low impedance properties and a long service life, and an electrolytic solution which enables to give such capacitor. The electrolytic solution contains a solvent containing water, a phosphorus oxoacid ion-generating compound which can generate a phosphorus oxoacid ion in an aqueous solution, and a chelating agent which can coordinate with aluminum to form an aqueous aluminum chelate complex. The electrolytic solution further contains a compound selected from the group consisting of azelaic acid and an azelaic acid salt, and a compound selected from the group consisting of formic acid, a formic acid salt, adipic acid, an adipic acid salt, glutaric acid and a glutaric acid salt. The content of azelaic acid and/or the azelaic acid salt is at least 0.03 moles per kg of the solvent. When the electrolytic solution is used in an electrolytic capacitor which utilizes an anode having an aluminum oxide film containing phosphorus in an amount of 30 to 150 mg per unit CV product in terms of phosphoric acid, the service life of the capacitor is remarkably prolonged.
