Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are essential electronic components in circuit systems and are widely used in modern industry. The anode foil is the core component of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. The characteristics of the anode foil oxide film directly determine the performance level of the capacitor. Hydration and formation are critical processes for preparing anode foil oxide films, and there is no systematic review of these two processes. This paper analyzes the current status of domestic and international research on hydration and formation processes, introduces methods to control the process conditions to enhance the oxide film properties, and provides an outlook for future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
