Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electrode foil manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method for forming a small wide electrode foil for high-density chip capacitors. Background Technology
[0002] Electrode foil is a crucial basic material that determines the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. With the rapid development of electronic components towards miniaturization, high density, surface mounting, and integration, high-density surface-mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors have been widely used in consumer electronics, new energy, industrial control, and communications. The electrode foil requires etching, hydration, and multi-stage formation processes to generate a dense, uniform, and low-defect alumina dielectric film on the porous surface of the etched aluminum foil. This formation process directly determines the electrode foil's specific capacitance, leakage current, mechanical strength, and bending performance.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream formation processes for small-sized wide electrode foils in the industry are mainly divided into two categories: organic acid formation system and inorganic acid-boric acid composite formation system. Among them, pure organic acid formation has the advantages of high capacity conversion rate and good basic bending strength, but for small-sized wide electrode foils of 5mm and below, there are problems such as stress concentration at the cutting edge and obvious edge accumulation effect of formation current, which easily leads to foil breakage and poor film uniformity. Although inorganic acid composite boric acid formation has excellent product life, ripple resistance and charge-discharge performance, and high substrate strength, it has the disadvantages of low capacity conversion rate, high production cost, and small-sized wide foils are prone to crystal brittleness and insufficient bending resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided in this application include: This application provides a method for forming small-width electrode foils for high-density surface-mount capacitors. A pretreatment solution is used to impregnate and modify the surface of the small-width etched aluminum foil. Sophorolipids, as a biosurfactant, can be uniformly adsorbed on the cut edges of the aluminum foil, weakening the edge current accumulation effect. Nano-titanium dioxide fills the microcracks and lattice defects in the edge cuts. Polyglycolic acid imparts flexibility and toughness to the oxide film. After hydration treatment, uniform Al(OH)3 is generated on the surface of the aluminum foil. At the same time, the pretreatment solution is added to the secondary electrolyte to further strengthen the edge film structure and improve the bending resistance of the electrode foil.
[0016] During primary formation, ammonium azelate and a primary modifier are used as the primary electrolyte. A positive pulse promotes oxide film growth within the pores. Ti 4+ Doping replaces part of the Al in the alumina lattice 3+ The process involves several steps: First, lithium fluoride and sodium hypophosphite are used to refine the oxide film grains and promote film formation, thereby increasing the dielectric constant and specific capacitance of the oxide film. Second, a borate composite solution and a primary modifier are used as the secondary electrolyte. The borate composite solution includes ammonium borate and sodium hexametaphosphate, which promotes oxide film crystallization and increases strength. Simultaneously, sodium hexametaphosphate forms a dense phosphate protective film at the edges, suppressing edge current concentration. Third, a mixture of ammonium 2,5-furandicarboxylate solution and the borate composite solution, along with the secondary modifier, is used as the tertiary electrolyte. Nano-carbon nitride possesses excellent thermal stability and conductivity, which can buffer the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the aluminum substrate and the oxide film. Combined with heat treatment, this improves the crystallinity of the film layer, achieving a significant reduction in leakage current under high specific capacitance conditions.

[0040] For the high-density chip capacitor small wide electrode foil (hereinafter referred to as "small wide electrode foil") prepared by the formation method provided in the examples and comparative examples, the capacitance, leakage current and bending times were tested in accordance with SJ / T 11140-2022 "Electrode Foil for Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors".

[0042] The primary modifiers added to the secondary electrolyte include titanium tetrachloride and Ti. 4+ Doping with sodium hypophosphite effectively improves the dielectric constant of Al2O3. Sodium hypophosphite promotes film formation at the bottom of pores, reduces defects, and increases specific capacitance.

Comparative Example 1 lacks Ti... 4+ Doping significantly reduced the specific volume, while insufficient film formation at the bottom of the pores led to an increase in leakage current. Comparative Example 2, lacking a secondary modifier, had a higher specific volume, but its leakage current was significantly higher than that of Example 1. Comparative Example 3, lacking a pretreatment solution, had more residual impurities on the electrode foil surface, more defects in the oxide film layer, and a decline in related performance.
