Abstract

See full text

A wet tantalum electrolytic capacitor containing a cathode, fluidic working electrolyte, and anode formed from an anodically oxidized sintered porous tantalum pellet is provided. The pellet is formed from a pressed tantalum powder. The tantalum powder is formed by reacting a tantalum oxide compound, for example, tantalum pentoxide, with a reducing agent that contains a metal having an oxidation state of 2 or more, for example, magnesium. The resulting tantalum powder is nodular or angular and has a specific charge that ranges from about 11,000 μF*V/g to about 14,000 μF*V/g. Using this powder, wet tantalum electrolytic capacitors have breakdown voltages that ranges from about 250 volts to about 400 volts. This makes the electrolytic capacitors ideal for use in an implantable medical device.
