An electrolytic capacitor anode treated with a surfactant during anodic oxidation is provided. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the surfactant may lower the surface tension of an electrolyte, which inhibits the clustering of grown oxides and allows the dielectric layer to become more homogeneous and uniformly spread over the anode body. The resulting dielectric layer may thus have a substantially homogeneous thickness, smooth surface, and improved leakage current stability.
