Electrolytic Capacitor Electrolytic capacitors are capacitors that exist in two forms: non-polar and polar. The anode of these capacitors typically comprises metal foil, such as aluminum or tantalum, with an oxide film, often aluminum oxide or tantalum pentoxide, serving as the dielectric and adhering closely to the anode.
The basic structure of an electrolytic capacitor consists of two conductive plates, which are usually aluminum sheets, separated by a layer of dielectric. The dielectric is a thin film of aluminum oxide, and the electrolyte solution is impregnated in this film.
An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a capacitor that uses an aluminum oxide film as dielectric. A method for forming an oxide layer by electrochemical surface treatment was developed near the end of the 19th century, and the precursor of today's aluminum electrolytic capacitor appeared as a product at the beginning of the 20th century.
This type of electrolytic capacitor combined with a liquid or gel-like electrolyte of a non-aqueous nature, which is therefore dry in the sense of having a very low water content, became known as the "dry" type of electrolytic capacitor.
The most commonly used model for electrolytic capacitors is based on Arrhenius' law, which describes the influence of the constraints related to the ambient temperature and the current flowing through the capacitors, and on the Coffin-Manson empirical law for the consideration of the applied voltage.
There are three families of electrolytic capacitor: aluminium electrolytic capacitors, tantalum electrolytic capacitors, and niobium electrolytic capacitors. The large capacitance of electrolytic capacitors makes them particularly suitable for passing or bypassing low-frequency signals, and for storing large amounts of energy.
