Abstract

An electrolytic capacitor includes a pair of electrodes, one of which is composed of a film-forming metal and an electrolyte comprising substantially one volume of dimethyl sulfoxide and substantially three volumes of a member of a solvent group consisting of N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-methyl pyrrolidone, butyrolactone, propylene carbonate and substituted cyanamides such as di-ally cyanamide, and mixtures thereof. Preferably the electrolyte also includes from 3 volume % to 10 volume % phosphoric or phosphorous acid and an ionogen, such as an amine salt.
