What is the Working Principle of the Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor?

An electrolytic capacitor is constructed of two metal plates, often made of aluminum foil with inter-leaved paper or plastic. This assembly of metal and paper or plastic is referred to as ‘anodes’. The break between the two plates is known as the ‘separator’ and this is where a very thin layer of oxide layer is elected to form.
The anode is then immersed in an electrolytic solution, usually acetic acid, and then sealed under vacuum. This electrolytic solution then has a higher electric field strength than the oxide layer in the break, known as the ‘separator’. This causes a ‘passive’ layer to be formed, with a negative charge on the anode and a positive charge on the cathode side.

How Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Work

Electrons move from the negative charged anode towards the positive charged cathode and this causes the capacitor to absorb energy and stores it within its chemical bonds. When the voltage is reduced, electrons flow back towards the anode and release their energy. This release causes the capacitance to increase. This type of capacitor is usually polarized and has a positive and negative lead. The direction of the voltage determines which way the capacitor will store energy.
