The invention relates to a
flame-retardant
electrolyte and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein the
flame-retardant
electrolyte comprises, by weight percent, 63 percent to 86.5 percent of
ethylene glycol, 1 percent to 3 percent of
silicon dioxide, 5 percent to 15 percent of
boric acid, 5 percent to 10 percent of
ammonium pentaborate, 1 percent to 5 percent of
mannitol, 0.5 percent to 2.0 percent of o-nitroanisole and 1 percent to 2 percent of
phosphoric acid; the manufacturing method comprises: (a). heating the
ethylene glycol to 60 to 75 DEG C, sequentially adding the
boric acid, the
ammonium pentaborate and the
mannitol, continuously heating to 95 to 105 DEG C, and stirring till the
boric acid, the
ammonium pentaborate and the
mannitol is completely dissolved; (b). adding the
silicon dioxide into the solution and continuously stirring till the solution is completely clarified; (c). and cooling the solution to 65 to 70 DEG C, adding the o-nitroanisole and the
phosphoric acid, and naturally cooling to acquire the
electrolyte. According to the invention, the electrolyte has the performance to
resist high temperature and
high voltage and the
hydrogen amount produced during the working process of an
electrolytic capacitor is also reduced; and the
vapor pressure of the electrolyte can be lowered, thus the electrolyte provided herein has
flame-retardant performance.
