The first article in this series [1] covered the early history of electrolytic capacitors, from their invention around 1880 to the invention of the modern Al electrolytic capacitor structure in 1925. The second article [2] takes us from Samuel Ruben's 1925 invention to the wide range of Al electrolytic capacitors presently on the market. The present article discusses electrolytic capacitors based on metals other than Al.
