Description

  The present invention relates to a capacitor such as an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, a tantalum electrolytic capacitor, a niobium electrolytic capacitor, and a method for manufacturing the same.

 In recent years, with the digitization of electronic devices, capacitors used in electronic devices are required to reduce impedance in a high frequency region. Conventionally, in order to meet this requirement, so-called functional capacitors, in which an oxide film of valve metal such as aluminum, tantalum, or niobium is used as a dielectric, and a π-conjugated conductive polymer is formed on this surface as a cathode. Is used.

As shown in Patent Document 1, the structure of this functional capacitor includes an anode made of a valve metal porous body, a dielectric layer formed by oxidizing the surface of the anode, a solid electrolyte layer, carbon It is common to have a cathode having a laminated layer and a silver layer. The capacitor's solid electrolyte layer is a layer composed of π-conjugated conductive polymers such as pyrrole and thiophene, penetrates into the porous body, and comes into contact with a larger area of the dielectric layer to increase its capacitance. In addition, it plays a role of preventing the occurrence of leakage current by repairing the defective portion of the dielectric layer.
As a method for forming a π-conjugated conductive polymer, an electrolytic polymerization method (see Patent Document 2) and a chemical oxidation polymerization method (see Patent Document 3) are widely known.
However, in the electropolymerization method, it is necessary to previously form a conductive layer made of manganese oxide on the surface of the valve metal porous body, which is very complicated, and manganese oxide has low conductivity and high conductivity. There is a problem that the effect of using a conductive π-conjugated conductive polymer is reduced.
In addition, in the chemical oxidation polymerization method, the polymerization time is long, and it is necessary to repeat the polymerization in order to ensure the thickness, so that the production efficiency of the capacitor is low and the conductivity is also low.

 Therefore, a method has been proposed in which a π-conjugated conductive polymer is not formed on the dielectric layer by an electrolytic polymerization method or a chemical oxidative polymerization method (see Patent Document 4). Patent Document 4 describes a method of preparing water-soluble polyaniline by polymerizing aniline in the presence of a polymer acid having a sulfo group, a carboxy group, etc., and applying and drying the polyaniline aqueous solution on the dielectric layer. Has been. However, although this production method is simple, the permeability to the inside of the porous body is inferior, and since the polymer acid is included in addition to the π-conjugated conductive polymer, the conductivity is low. As a result, the electrical conductivity was sometimes dependent on humidity.

By the way, a capacitor having a small equivalent series resistance (ESR) is required, and in order to reduce the ESR, it is necessary to increase the conductivity of the solid electrolyte layer. As a method for increasing the conductivity of the solid electrolyte layer, for example, it has been proposed to highly control the conditions of the chemical oxidation polymerization method (see Patent Document 5). However, the manufacturing method often complicates the complicated chemical oxidative polymerization method, and thus simplification of the process and cost reduction cannot be realized.

In the capacitor 10 described above, the cathode 13 includes the solid electrolyte layer 13a including the π-conjugated conductive polymer, the polyanion, and the hydroxy group-containing aromatic compound. Since the hydroxy group-containing aromatic compound contained in the solid electrolyte layer 13a releases hydrogen, radicals generated during oxidative degradation of the π-conjugated conductive polymer can be deactivated. Thereby, the chain reaction of radicals can be blocked and the progress of deterioration can be suppressed, so that heat resistance and stability are considered to be improved.
The hydroxy group-containing aromatic compound is likely to interact with the anion group in the polyanion, and it is considered that the polyanion can be brought close to each other by this interaction. Therefore, π-conjugated conductive polymers adsorbed on the polyanion by doping can also be brought close to each other. As a result, it is considered that the energy required for hopping, which is an electrical conduction phenomenon between π-conjugated conductive polymers, is reduced, and the overall electrical resistance is reduced (conductivity is increased).

(Capacitor manufacturing method)
The method for manufacturing a capacitor includes: an anode 11 made of a porous body of valve metal; and a dielectric layer 12 side surface of a capacitor intermediate having a dielectric layer 12 of an oxide film formed by oxidizing the surface of the anode 11. In this method, a conductive polymer solution is applied to form the solid electrolyte layer 13a.

The conductive polymer solution in this production method contains a π-conjugated conductive polymer, a polyanion, a hydroxy group-containing aromatic compound, and a solvent.
In order to prepare a conductive polymer solution, first, polyanion is dissolved in a solvent capable of dissolving the polyanion, and aniline, pyrrole, thiophene, or the like that forms a π-conjugated conductive polymer is obtained in the resulting solution. The precursor monomer is added. Subsequently, an oxidizing agent is added to polymerize the precursor monomer, and then the excess oxidizing agent and the precursor monomer are separated and purified. Then, a hydroxy group-containing aromatic compound is added to obtain a conductive polymer solution.

 The solvent contained in the conductive polymer solution is not particularly limited. For example, alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol (IPA), N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), dimethylformamide (DMF) Amide solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), acetone and cyclohexanone, ester solvents such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, toluene, xylene and water. These may be used alone or in combination. Among these, from the viewpoint of environmental protection in recent years, water and alcohol solvents having a low environmental load are preferable.

  Examples of the method for applying the conductive polymer solution include known methods such as coating, dipping, and spraying. Examples of the drying method include known methods such as hot air drying.

  After the solid electrolyte layer 13a is formed, the conductive layer 13b can be formed by a known method of forming the conductive layer 13b with a carbon paste or a silver paste, or facing the cathode electrode through a separator.

 In the solid electrolyte layer 13a, the π-conjugated conductive polymer is often formed as particles having a particle diameter of 1 to 500 nm. For this reason, the π-conjugated conductive polymer does not reach the deepest part of the fine voids on the surface of the dielectric layer of the capacitor intermediate, making it difficult to draw out the capacitance. For this reason, it is preferable to replenish the capacity by forming a solid electrolyte layer 13a and then infiltrating an electrolyte as necessary.

[Electrolyte]
The electrolytic solution is not particularly limited as long as it has high conductivity, and a known electrolyte is dissolved in a known solvent.
Examples of the solvent in the electrolytic solution include alcohol solvents such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, and glycerol, lactone solvents such as γ-butyrolactone, γ-valerolactone, and δ-valerolactone, Examples thereof include amide solvents such as N-methylformamide, N, N-dimethylformamide, N-methylacetamide and N-methylpyrrolidinone, nitrile solvents such as acetonitrile and 3-methoxypropionitrile, water and the like.
Examples of the electrolyte include adipic acid, glutaric acid, succinic acid, benzoic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, maleic acid, toluic acid, enanthic acid, malonic acid, formic acid, 1,6-decanedicarboxylic acid, 5,6 -Decane dicarboxylic acid such as decanedicarboxylic acid, octane dicarboxylic acid such as 1,7-octane dicarboxylic acid, organic acid such as azelaic acid and sebacic acid, or boric acid, polyhydric alcohol of boric acid obtained from boric acid and polyhydric alcohol Complex compounds, inorganic acids such as phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, and silicic acid are used as anionic components, and primary amines (methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, ethylenediamine, etc.), secondary amines (dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, Methylethylamine, diphenylamine, etc.), tertiary amine (trimethyl) Amine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, triphenylamine, 1,8-diazabicyclo (5,4,0) -undecene-7, etc.), tetraalkylammonium (tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, tetrapropylammonium, tetrabutylammonium, Examples thereof include electrolytes containing methyltriethylammonium, dimethyldiethylammonium, etc.) as cationic components.

 The capacitor manufacturing method described above forms a solid electrolyte layer by applying and drying a conductive polymer solution, so that the process is simple, suitable for mass production, and low cost. In addition, since the conductive polymer solution contains a π-conjugated conductive polymer, a polyanion, and a hydroxy group-containing aromatic compound, it prevents deterioration of the π-conjugated conductive polymer in the solid electrolyte layer. In addition, hopping energy can be reduced. Therefore, since the conductivity of the solid electrolyte layer can be increased, the performance of the capacitor can be increased.
