Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase electrostatic capacity and make continuous etching effective by interposing a process of wash of aluminum foil, which is etched in a first etching process, between the first and second etching processes. CONSTITUTION:In a first etching process, many pits are formed by electrically etching aluminum foil in electrolyte of a chloride solution to which coating film formation acid such as sulfuric acid, superacid, and phosphoric acid is added. In a second etching process, the diameter of the pits formed in the first etching process is made as large as desired by electric or chemical etching in electrolyte containing chlorine ions or nitrate ions or both. A process of wash of the aluminum foil etched in the first etching process is interposed between the first and second etching processes. Water or the same electrolyte as used in the second etching process is used as washing liquid in the process of wash. Thereby a sulfuric acid radical, a superacid radical, and a phosphoric acid radical are not left over to the second etching process while formation of a hydrated film is suppressed.

Various methods have been proposed to increase the area expansion ratio, but for boat fishing, aluminum foil is electrically etched in a chloride aqueous solution to which a film-forming acid such as sulfuric acid, oxalic acid, or phosphoric acid is added to form a pit. A pre-etching process is performed to form a large number of pits, and electrical or chemical etching is performed in an aqueous solution containing at least one of chlorine ions and nitrate ions to dissolve aluminum along the inner wall of the pit and reduce the pit diameter to the desired thickness. This is done in combination with subsequent etching.
