ABSTRACT:
A nitrogen containing metal powder wicth a large specific surface area, and containing a suitable quantity of nitrogen dispersed uniformly within the metal is produced with good productivity, and provides a solid electrolytic capacitor with a high capacitance, minimal leakage current, and excellent long term reliability. This nitrogen containing metal powder has a ratio W/S between the nitrogen content W [ppm] of the powder, and the specific surface area S [m2/g], as measured by a BET method, that falls within a range from 500 to 3000. This type of powder can be produced by a process in which a metal salt containing the metal is reacted with a reducing agent and undergoes reduction within a diluent salt, thereby generating the metal, wherein a nitrogen containing gas is introduced into the space contacting the reaction melt comprising the metal salt, the reducing agent and the diluent salt, thereby generating the metal and incorporating the nitrogen within the metal.
