[embodiment]
At present, in the aluminium electrolytic capacitor field, the specific volume of aluminum electric pole foil is proportional to the relative dielectric constant of oxide-film.Aluminium anode oxide film Al
20
3Dielectric constant be generally 8~10, and Detitanium-ore-type TiO
2Dielectric constant be 48, rutile TiO
2Dielectric constant be 110~117.In the prior art field, will have ceramic oxide such as high-k valve metal oxides and be incorporated into through the method on the aluminium foil of expansion face and can adopt physical method or chemical method.
Physical method normally will have high-k valve metal or its oxide, adopt the way of magnetron sputtering, electron beam heating equal vacuum evaporation, make it form the coating of micron thickness at aluminium foil surface; Chemical method then is that the aluminium foil that will be coated with metal alkoxide carries out elevated temperature heat and decomposes or hydrolysis, prepares ultra micro (nanoscale) metal oxide powder and is deposited on method on the aluminium foil.Two kinds of methods are compared, and adopt the aluminium foil specific capacity of vacuum deposition method gained higher, and impedance is lower.
For the conductive solid polymer electrochemical capacitor, its capacity is closely related with tightness degree and the contact area that aluminium foil contacts with solid electrolyte with impedance, and solid electrolyte adheres to tight more on Cathode Foil and anode foils, and contact area is big more, it is big more that it draws capacity, and impedance is more little.Compare with liquid electrolytic electric capacity, because solid electrolyte and the contacted area of aluminium foil and level of intimate can not show a candle to the exposure level of liquid electrolyte and aluminium foil after all in the solid electrolytic capacitor, so in wet-electrolytic capacitor, show and the problem of inapparent capacity extraction rate, it is most important just to seem in solid electrolytic capacitor.For the fuse of same size, solid electric capacity will seek out the capacity close with liquid electrolytic electric capacity, is a very thing of difficulty.
Usually, the total capacity of capacitor is closely related by the actual capacity of drawing of its Cathode Foil and anode foils, has following relation.
C=Ca×Cc/(Ca+Cc)
Wherein: C is the capacitor total capacity, and Ca is the anode foils specific volume, and Cc is the Cathode Foil specific volume.
By above-mentioned formula as can be seen, improve the specific volume of Cathode Foil, can make high the drawing of trying one's best of the capacity of anode foils.As want to draw the capacity of anode foils 80%, and the capacity that then needs Cathode Foil is 4 times of anode foils, wants to draw the capacity of anode foils 90%, the capacity that then needs Cathode Foil is 9 times of anode foils.For low pressure large bulk capacitance series, usually adopt the aluminium foil of low pressure high power capacity as anode foils, the high capacity of drawing anode foils of trying one's best, thereby the size of reduction capacitor, need adopt the very Cathode Foil of high power capacity, yet be difficult to reach so high capacity by the prepared conventional cathode paper tinsel of electrochemical corrosion.
At corrosive aluminum foil or light paper tinsel surperficial mode evaporation one deck titanium, titanium nitride or nitrogen titanium aluminide, titanium carbonitride by magnetron sputtering or other vacuum evaporations, greatly improved the specific area of aluminium foil, to compare with former paper tinsel surface, its specific capacity is several times and increases.With its negative electrode, can improve the capacity extraction rate greatly, and reduce the impedance and the DF value of electric capacity as solid electric capacity.
Because capacitor core before the impregnation polymerization generates solid electrolyte, need be handled through high temperature carbonization after a while usually, this just requires through the foil of cathode with high specific volume of special processing at high temperature in the air atmosphere, advantages of higher stability is arranged.On light paper tinsel or etched foil surface, the method by magnetron sputtering plates one deck titanium or titanium nitride, can make the very big raising of capacity of aluminium foil, uses it for the negative paper tinsel of coiling type solid electric capacity, can obtain desirable capacity extraction rate.But the applicant finds that high-temperature process will be found the big high attenuation of its capacity after a period of time in air, and impedance also improves a lot, for the Cathode Foil of using it for solid electric capacity has caused very big difficulty.If the high temperature carbonization process is carried out under nitrogen protection; these problems can be avoided; capacity and impedance nearly all do not have any change; but because high temperature processing step needs nitrogen protection; for production brings very big inconvenience; and under nitrogen atmosphere, obtain sufficient charing, need the long time.
By the Cathode Foil surface of the high specific volume of this class is analyzed, find at high temperature, above-mentioned defective mainly is that airborne oxygen can be to the binding site generation oxidation of aluminium and titanium, make the surface oxidation of aluminium, generate oxide layer, cause the script close attachment to descend to some extent, thereby cause its capacity and impedance operator acute exacerbation in the Titanium on aluminium surface and the combination degree between the base material.
Selective light paper tinsel of the present invention is as base material, earlier carry out anodized on its surface, its formation voltage is between 1.0~3.0 volts, change into 50 ℃~80 ℃ of temperature, change into time 5min~30min, make it form one deck densification, uniform, as to have unilateral conduction alumina layer, and then the mode of employing magnetron sputtering is at its surperficial evaporation one deck titanium, titanium nitride, nitrogen titanium aluminide or titanium carbonitride at aluminium foil surface, to improve the specific area of its aluminium foil, increase specific capacity.Owing in advance anodic oxidation is carried out on the aluminium surface, what directly contact with evaporation metal during magnetron sputtering is exactly alumina layer, and aluminium oxide is highly stable under oxidizing atmosphere, can not change, thus to the adhesive force of evaporation metal less than influencing.Thereby, even if in air, carry out high temperature carbonization, the final impedance and the capacity that also can not influence product, simplified the preparation difficulty of high specific volume solid electric capacity greatly, when simultaneously also having solved high-temperature process, airborne oxygen causes the problem of its capacity and impedance operator acute exacerbation to the binding site generation oxidation of aluminium and titanium.
Light paper tinsel as base material, can adopt the means of mechanical expansion face, adopting metallic brush to brush out ditch earlier on its surface returns, to increase its surface area, also can adopt chemistry or electrochemical means,, its surface slightly be corroded as adopting hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid as corrosive liquid, suitably increase the surface, its corrosion multiplying power is defined as 1~10.This is because when Cathode Foil corrosion multiplying power is too high, can cause the impedance of Cathode Foil to increase.
In the magnetron sputtering process, by improving the concentration of nitrogen continuously, from aluminium foil surface, the composition of Titanium descends in gradient with acquisition, and the composition of titanium nitride increases in gradient.Because titanium nitride is at high temperature more stable to air than titanium, thereby further improve the stability of sputtering layer.Thickness of coating is lower than 1 μ m between 1~3 μ m, or is higher than 3 μ m, and the aluminium foil capacity is all not enough.
Behind the aluminium foil surface process magnetron sputtering layer of metal titanium, again 300~500 ℃ of following high-temperature process 20~60 minutes, (it is identical to carry out high temperature carbonization in high-temperature process herein and the air, be in high temperature furnace, to handle) make surface of metal titanium form one deck passivating film, can make capacity stable, and because the iris action of passivating film, can avoid changing into liquid and highly acid electrolyte corrosiveness, thereby improve the stability of final products solid electrolyte capacitor titanium.
