A solid electrolytic capacitor includes a valve metal formed with an
anodized film; an inner conductive polymer film formed on the anodized
film; and an outer conductive polymer film formed on the inner conductive
polymer film. The outer conductive polymer film is obtained by: preparing
a first polymer solution (PEDOT/PSSA); dissolving a predetermined
dissolved substance in a non-aqueous solvent, the predetermined dissolved
substance being selected from the group consisting of boric acid,
1-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid,
1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid, and polystyrenesulfonic acid, and a
salt thereof; mixing the dissolved solvent with pure water to obtain an
additive solution; adding the additive solution into the first polymer
solution to obtain a second polymer solution; and applying the second
polymer solution to the inner conductive polymer film.
