Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are (usually) polarized electrolytic capacitors whose anode electrode (+) is made of a pure aluminum foil with an etched surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of aluminum oxide by anodization that acts as the dielectric of the capacitor.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors with non-solid electrolytes normally can be charged up to the rated voltage without any current limitation. This property is a result of the limited ion movability in the liquid electrolyte, which slows down the voltage ramp across the dielectric, and the capacitor's ESR.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can be applied for a short time with an overvoltage, also called a surge voltage.
Electrolytic capacitors are available in several types as aluminum, tantalum, and niobium versions (Ho et al., 2010). The internal structure of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two aluminum foils, which are separated by a porous material such as paper which is impregnated with an electrolyte as shown in Fig. 6.11.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitor construction delivers colossal capacitance because etching the foils can increase surface area more than 100 times and the aluminum-oxide dielectric is less than a micrometer thick. Thus the resulting capacitor has very large plate area and the plates are intensely close together.
The essential property of a capacitor is to store electrical charge. The amount of electrical charge (Q) in the capacitor (C) is proportional to the applied voltage (U). d = thickness of the dielectric (oxide layer in aluminum capacitors) (m). Characteristics of aluminum capacitors vary with temperature, time and applied voltage.
