It has been known that in order to obtain an electrolytic solution containing ethylene glycol as a main solvent and having a high specific conductivity, a large amount of water should be added to the solvent of the electrolytic solution. However, as the operating temperature of the capacitor increases and the amount of water added to the solvent increases, the hydration reaction between the cathode aluminum foil and water tends to occur. When this hydration reaction occurs, hydrogen gas is generated and the pressure inside the electrolytic capacitor increases. The rise in the internal pressure of the electrolytic capacitor ultimately affects the operation of the
It causes problems such as popping out of the sealing rubber and leakage of the electrolyte.
