Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic encapsulation film material development, in particular to an anti-aging PVB film for photovoltaic module encapsulation and a preparation process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Against the backdrop of the global push for clean energy development, photovoltaic power generation, with its significant advantages such as being renewable and pollution-free, has become a key development direction in the energy sector. As the core component of a photovoltaic power generation system, the performance and service life of photovoltaic modules directly impact the efficiency and economic viability of the entire power generation system. The PVB film used to encapsulate photovoltaic modules plays a crucial role in this process. It not only isolates the photovoltaic cells from the external environment, preventing them from being corroded by moisture and oxygen, but also ensures excellent optical and adhesive properties to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the photovoltaic modules.

[0003] Traditional PVB film faces numerous challenges in practical application. Firstly, insufficient aging resistance is a prominent issue. PV modules are exposed to the combined effects of UV rays, high temperatures, and high humidity for extended periods. The molecular chains in conventional PVB film are susceptible to breakage and degradation under UV radiation, leading to a gradual decline in film performance, such as yellowing, brittleness, and weakened adhesion. This not only reduces the light transmittance of PV modules, impacting power generation efficiency, but can also cause delamination between the cell and the encapsulation material, severely shortening the module's lifespan. According to statistics, in areas with intense sunlight and complex climates, PV modules using traditional PVB film can experience a 15%-20% drop in power generation efficiency after 5-8 years.

[0004] Secondly, existing PVB films struggle to balance flexibility and heat resistance. At low temperatures, the film's lack of flexibility can lead to brittle cracking, compromising the integrity of the package. At high temperatures, the film can soften excessively and creep, causing deformation within the PV module, also adversely affecting power generation performance. For example, in winter in cold northern regions, some PV modules experience partial failure due to film cracking. In summer in hot southern regions, some modules experience cell displacement due to film creep.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional PVB films also have drawbacks when it comes to bonding to photovoltaic cells. Their adhesion is not stable and durable, and over time and due to environmental changes, the bond strength gradually decreases, increasing the risk of delamination in photovoltaic modules. Furthermore, during the preparation process of traditional films, some additives are not compatible with the PVB resin, leading to agglomeration and affecting the uniformity of the film's performance.

[0006] Furthermore, the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry has placed higher demands on the production efficiency and cost control of PVB films. Existing preparation processes are often complex, with long production cycles, resulting in high costs and limiting the further large-scale application of the photovoltaic industry. Therefore, the development of a new PVB film with excellent aging resistance, a good balance of flexibility and heat resistance, and long-lasting, stable adhesion, along with an efficient and cost-effective preparation process, is urgently needed. This is of great significance for improving the performance and service life of photovoltaic modules and promoting the sustainable development of the photovoltaic industry. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Preferably, the process for preparing an anti-aging PVB film for photovoltaic module encapsulation according to any of the above items comprises the following steps: raw material pretreatment: mixing nano zinc oxide and nano silicon dioxide in proportion, adding a zwitterionic silane coupling agent, and stirring in a high-speed stirrer at a speed of 1200-1800 r / min for 40-80 minutes to perform surface modification; performing purity testing and drying treatment on the new composite anti-aging agent, the new plasticizer based on vegetable oil, diisononyl phthalate, the diepoxy-containing acrylate crosslinker, and the benzotriazole ultraviolet absorber with a multi-conjugated structure;

[0027] End group modification: PVB resin is added to a reactor, and an appropriate amount of catalyst and tert-butylating agent are added. The reaction is carried out at 80-100°C and a stirring speed of 300-500 r / min for 2-4 hours to carry out end group modification. After the reaction is completed, the end group-modified PVB resin is obtained by precipitation, filtration, washing, drying and other steps;

[0028] Mixing: Add the end-group modified PVB resin into a high-speed mixer, and then add the treated anti-aging agent, plasticizer, modified composite filler, cross-linking agent and UV absorber in sequence.

[0035] (3) Beneficial technical effects

[0036] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0037] 1. By introducing tert-butyl groups at both ends of the PVB resin molecular chain, the flexibility and creep resistance of the molecular chain are enhanced, the glass transition temperature is lowered, and the film maintains good flexibility in low-temperature environments, reducing the risk of brittle cracking. In the new composite anti-aging agent, the hindered amine light stabilizer containing nitrogen oxide free radicals forms a covalent bond with the PVB molecular chain, greatly improving the stability of the anti-aging agent. Its ultraviolet absorption efficiency in the wavelength range of 280-400nm is not less than 90%, which can effectively resist ultraviolet damage to the film; the mercaptobenzimidazole antioxidant works synergistically to capture peroxyl free radicals, greatly extending the anti-aging life of the film. Accelerated aging tests have shown that the performance retention rate of this patented PVB film after 10 years of use in simulated outdoor environments is 30%-40% higher than that of traditional films, which can effectively ensure the long-term stable operation of photovoltaic modules and reduce power generation efficiency losses.

[0038] 2. A new plant-oil-based plasticizer forms weak hydrogen bonds with PVB resin, enhancing the plasticizing effect. Combined with diisononyl phthalate, the film maintains excellent flexibility and stability across various temperatures. At temperatures as low as -20°C, the film remains soft and bendable without cracking. Even at temperatures as high as 80°C, the film does not soften significantly and creep, ensuring the proper functioning of photovoltaic modules in diverse climates.

[0039] 3. A diepoxy-containing acrylate crosslinker reacts with the hydroxyl groups in the PVB resin to form a stable and moderately crosslinked three-dimensional network structure, enhancing the bond strength and durability between the film and the photovoltaic cell. Testing has shown that the initial bond strength of this patented film to the cell is 20%-30% higher than that of conventional films. The bond strength is also highly retained over long-term use, effectively reducing the risk of delamination in photovoltaic modules.

[0040] 4. The method of the present invention is relatively simple to operate and improves production efficiency by precisely controlling the parameters of each step. For example, optimization of the raw material pretreatment, mixing, and melt extrusion steps shortens the production cycle and reduces production costs, facilitating large-scale industrial production and promoting the further development of the photovoltaic industry.

No brittle cracking occurs at -20°C, and no obvious creep is observed at a high temperature of 80°C. Example 2 has an initial bonding strength of 11 N / cm, an aging retention rate of 88%, and a UV transmittance of 6%.

Example 3 has the best performance, with an initial bonding strength of 13 N / cm, an aging retention rate of 92%, and a UV transmittance of only 4%. It is stable under extreme temperature conditions. In contrast, the comparative film has an initial bonding strength of only 8 N / cm, a retention rate of 60% after aging, a UV transmittance of as high as 15%, and brittle cracking occurs in low-temperature tests, and obvious creep occurs in high-temperature environments. The test data fully demonstrates that the PVB films of Examples 1-3 are significantly superior to traditional comparative products in terms of bonding performance, weather resistance, and temperature adaptability.
