Electrolytic capacitor different types: aluminum, tantalum, and niobium capacitors. Each of these three capacitor families uses non-solid and solid manganese dioxide or solid polymer electrolytes, so a great spread of different combinations of anode material and solid or non-solid electrolytes is available. Like other conventional capacitors, electrolytic capacitors store the electric energy statically by charge separation in an electric field in the dielectric oxide layer between two electrodes. The non-solid or solid electrolyte in principle is the cathode, which thus forms the second electrode of the capacitor. This and the storage principle distinguish them from electrochemical capacitors or supercapacitors, in which the
Electrolytic Zinc Electrolytic Zinc Electrolytic Zinc or the Electrolyic Zinc Company of Australasia (frequently abbreviated to "EZ" ) was the company that operated a Zinc refinery on the banks of the Derwent River in Risdon in Hobart in Tasmania between 1916 and 1984. The refinery was often given names such as the "Risdon works", the "Zinc works","reduction works" The current usage and place name located at the Risdon works is identified as Lutana. The operations of the Risdon works were tied in with the mining of zinc in Rosebery on the West Coast of Tasmania. The company started operation in 1916 at
