Electrolytic Capacitors The aluminium electrolytic capacitor consists of two foils interleaved with an absorbent paper, and wound tightly into a cylinder. The positive foil, or anode, is made from pure aluminium foil on the surface of which aluminium oxide dielectric has been formed electrolytically. The foil has been etched to increase the effective surface area, and the area of the anode is ypically 30–100 times larger than the plan area of the foil. http://www.ami.ac.uk/courses/topics/0136_ec/ Lecture 6.3
