Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polyurethane film preparation, and in particular to a super-hydrophobic self-repairing polyurethane film for photovoltaics and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the promotion of environmental protection concepts, more and more groups have paid attention to renewable energy, such as hydropower, wind power, solar energy, biomass (biogas), geothermal energy (including ground source and water source), tidal energy, etc. Among them, solar power generation refers to a method in which photovoltaic modules convert light energy into electrical energy under the irradiation of sunlight. Photovoltaic power stations are an important part of it. Dust, rain, bird droppings and other dirt will seriously affect the power generation efficiency of photovoltaic panels. Most photovoltaic panels are located at sea or in deserts and fields. The coating must be completed before the photovoltaic panels leave the factory. For photovoltaic panels that have been installed at the factory, on-site operations are difficult, and effective coating cannot be guaranteed, and a lot of manpower and material resources are required. If the coating on the photovoltaic panel is attenuated and needs to be re-coated, the original coating must be cleaned with a solvent first. After cleaning, it needs to be coated quickly to prevent dust and stains from adhering again and affecting the film-forming performance. The outdoor coating of the coating needs to consider the influence of temperature, humidity and weather factors. If it is exposed to rain too early after coating, the coating will fail or the effect will be weakened.

[0003] Most solutions nowadays are to apply a layer of hydrophobic or hydrophilic coating on the surface of photovoltaic panels, which can effectively solve the self-cleaning problem of photovoltaic panels without affecting the transmittance. This method is more suitable for direct coating in factories. It is difficult to apply coating to photovoltaic panels that have been installed at the factory, and it is difficult to perform maintenance and rework in the later stage.

[0004] Self-healing polyurethane is a polymer material that can gradually recover to its pre-damage state after being damaged by external factors. Its stability and plasticity have made it the matrix of choice for many materials.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention discloses a super hydrophobic self-healing polyurethane film for photovoltaics and a preparation method thereof, wherein disulfide compounds are introduced into a polyurethane matrix, and its self-healing mechanism is mainly through internal disulfide bonds, which can be re-entangled and reconnected after being cut to achieve self-healing.

[0072] Comparative Example 2

[0073] The present embodiment provides a super-hydrophobic self-healing polyurethane film for photovoltaics and a preparation method thereof. The super-hydrophobic self-healing polyurethane film for photovoltaics comprises the following components by weight: 20 parts of polytetramethylene glycol (molecular weight 2000), 6 parts of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), 0.08 parts of dilauryl dibutyltin, 4 parts of 4,4'-dithiodiphenylamine, 15 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide, 1 part of ethylene glycol, and 1 part of hydrophobic nanoparticles;

[0074] The method for preparing the super-hydrophobic self-healing polyurethane film for photovoltaics comprises the following steps:

[0075] S1, dehydrate polytetrahydrofuran diol in a 110 ℃ vacuum drying oven for 2 hours, take it out, seal and cool to room temperature for use;

[0076] S2, 20 parts of dehydrated polytetrahydrofuran diol and 6 parts of isocyanate were mixed uniformly, 0.08 parts of dibutyltin dilaurate were added under nitrogen atmosphere protection, and polymerization was carried out at 75°C and 300r / min for 2 hours. During the reaction, a small amount of bubbles appeared in the material to obtain a uniformly mixed polyurethane prepolymer;

[0077] S3, adding 4 parts of 4,4'-dithiodiphenylamine and 15 parts of N,N-dimethylformamide to the uniformly mixed polyurethane prepolymer obtained in step S2, and continuing the reaction at 75° C. for 5 hours to obtain a polyurethane solution with self-healing properties;

[0078] S4, raising the temperature of the polyurethane solution with self-repairing properties obtained in step S3 to 80° C., adding 1 part of ethylene glycol to carry out chain extension reaction, and reacting for 30 minutes to obtain a self-repairing polyurethane film material with a high degree of polymerization;

[0080] The high-polymerization self-healing polyurethane film material obtained in step S4 is mixed with 1 part of super-hydrophobic nanoparticles, and then vacuum-dried in an oven at 60° C. for 12 hours, and then the temperature is raised to 100° C. and vacuum-dried for 12 hours to obtain the super-hydrophobic self-healing polyurethane film for photovoltaics.

[0081] The super-hydrophobic self-healing polyurethane films for photovoltaics prepared in the above-mentioned embodiments and comparative examples were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0082] Table 1

[0083] Test items Hydrophobic angle (°) Roll angle (°) Self-repair efficiency (%) Transmittance (%) Example 1 160 3 95 92 Example 2 150 5 92 95 Example 3 140 3 88 96 Comparative Example 1 150 5 80 95 Comparative Example 2 130 13 94 98

[0084] As shown in Table 1, when too little hydrophobic nanoparticles are added, the hydrophobic performance of the composite film material is poor. When too much hydrophobic nanoparticles are added, the self-healing efficiency of the composite film is reduced. This is because too much filler hinders the polyurethane molecular chain, which in turn affects the re-entanglement of the disulfide bonds and reduces the self-healing efficiency. When the amount of self-healing additive is used less, the self-healing efficiency is also reduced.

[0085] In summary, the present invention introduces a self-repairing auxiliary agent to make the composite film have self-repairing properties, improves the service life and durability of the composite material, and can self-heal after the material is damaged by the outside world. On the basis of self-repair, hydrophobic nanoparticles are added to realize super-hydrophobic surface. The present invention mixes hydrophobic nanoparticles with self-repairing polyurethane by physical blending, and under the premise of not affecting self-repairing properties, the composite material can also be made to have super-hydrophobicity. The transparent polyurethane film material for photovoltaic panels of the present invention can be pasted by electrostatic adsorption or other adhesives, so that the film material is loaded on the photovoltaic panel, and a protective effect is played to the photovoltaic panel to prevent damage to the photovoltaic panel due to external environmental pollution.
