Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic glass coating, and particularly relates to a mesoporous silica microsphere solution and an antireflection composite coating solution. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the solar photovoltaic industry is facing huge development opportunities. Crystalline silicon cells account for the mainstream of photovoltaic power generation, and photovoltaic glass as a solar cell cover material is one of the important component materials. Photovoltaic cells are priced according to power generation, and the level of photoelectric conversion efficiency is directly related to the price, so the power generation efficiency of solar cells has always been one of the focuses of the industry.

[0003] Under the current technical conditions, it is difficult to simply increase the power of the cell through the improvement of the processing and packaging technology of the silicon wafer, and the increase of the transmittance of the photovoltaic glass can increase the photoelectric conversion energy and improve the power generation efficiency, which is the focus and important development direction of the industry at present. Developing an antireflection super-white embossed glass with high transmittance in the response spectrum range of solar cells can improve the power generation efficiency of solar cells to the same extent, which has very good economic prospects. The popularization and application of the antireflection solution for solar photovoltaic use has a positive effect on the improvement of the efficiency of solar cells, the reduction of the cost, the improvement of the competitiveness of solar cell power generation, and the shortening of the cost recovery period of grid-connected power generation. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a mesoporous silica microsphere solution and an antireflection composite coating solution.

[0005] The conventional glass or optical material has low transmittance at the air-glass interface, resulting in light energy loss and affecting the light transmission efficiency and display effect of the optical device. The existing antireflection coating has defects in film uniformity, adhesion and long-term stability, and is easy to fail due to environmental influences (such as humidity, temperature change, etc.). In the existing antireflection solution material, the particle size distribution, porosity and film thickness are difficult to accurately control, resulting in unsatisfactory optical performance, especially poor performance consistency in a wide spectral range. Some traditional coating preparation methods require expensive equipment and high-precision control, which limits the widespread application in industrialization.

[0008] The present application adopts ethyl cellulose and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as double templates to prepare a mesoporous silica microsphere solution, wherein the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide provides a surfactant template effect to form a regular mesoporous structure; the ethyl cellulose acts as a pore-forming agent to further regulate the pore size and pore distribution, and can enhance the stability of the mesoporous structure. The synergistic effect of the double templates helps to precisely control the pore structure in the micro and meso scales, and improve the specific surface area and pore volume of the mesoporous silica.

[0009] The second aspect of the present application provides an anti-reflection composite coating solution, wherein the preparation raw materials of the anti-reflection composite coating solution comprise the mesoporous silica microsphere solution of the first aspect, a silane coupling agent, an acrylic resin, an organic solvent and water.

[0024] The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed herein are not limited to the precise values stated. The endpoints of the ranges and any values are understood to be approximate values. The exact numerical values of the endpoints of the ranges and any values are understood to be approximations. It is intended to include all values substantially equivalent to the recited values within the range of values and any values.

[0025] The first aspect of the present application provides a mesoporous silica microsphere solution, wherein the raw materials for preparing the solution include a silicon source, a double template agent, an alkaline catalyst, an organic solvent and water.

[0026] The double template agent includes ethyl cellulose and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).

[0027] In the present application, CTAB, as a cationic surfactant, generates small-sized mesopores (2-4 nm) through micellar self-assembly, endows the material with high specific surface area and ordered pore structure, and enhances the light regulation ability; ethyl cellulose, as a macromolecular polymer template, forms large-aperture mesopores or macro-pores (tens to hundreds of nanometers) through physical entanglement or phase separation, and provides a low-refractive skeleton. In the present application, the combination of the double template realizes a hierarchical pore structure (mesopore-macropore composite), and takes into account both high specific surface area and light transmission optimization, significantly reduces the refractive index of the film, and improves the transmission performance. CTAB is a cationic surfactant, the hydrophilic head group of which interacts with inorganic precursors (such as SiO2 sol), and the hydrophobic tail chain forms a micellar core. The hydrophobic chain of ethyl cellulose is adsorbed on the surface of the CTAB micelles, forming a hierarchical pore structure and realizing pore interconnection.

[0028] In the present application, ethyl cellulose is used to replace high-cost or environmentally unfriendly templates, reducing production costs and improving environmental protection. The green process and environmentally friendly characteristics of the template meet the current direction of sustainable development of the materials industry.

[0029] In addition, ethyl cellulose can enhance mechanical stability. The flexible long chains of ethyl cellulose play a "skeleton" role in the sol-gel process, inhibiting the excessive aggregation of CTAB template micelles, reducing the risk of structure collapse during drying or calcination, and obtaining high-integrity spherical micrometer-sized particles. The viscosity regulation of ethyl cellulose can slow down the hydrolysis and polycondensation rate, promote uniform coating of the silica precursor, form well-dispersed and uniform-sized microspheres, and facilitate uniformity of the coating solution.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass ratio of ethyl cellulose to cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in the double template is 1-1.5:1, preferably 1.3:1. In the present application, a mass ratio that is too high leads to a decrease in mesopores, and a mass ratio that is too low inhibits macroporous structures. By adjusting the mass ratio of the two, the pore size can be precisely controlled from 10 nm to 200 nm. Within this specific mass ratio range, the porosity can be adjusted to significantly reduce the refractive index of the film, and the transmittance effect is best.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass percentage of the double template is 1.25-2.6%, preferably 1.4%.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the silicon source is selected from at least one of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), trimethylethoxysilane (TMEO), and ethyltriethoxysilane.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the mass percentage content of the organic solvent is 53-58%, preferably 57%.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the water content is 2.75-4.3%, preferably 3.35%.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the preparation raw materials of the antireflection composite plating solution include, in percentage by mass: mesoporous silica microsphere solution 35%, KH570 0.2%, acrylic resin 2.5%, anhydrous ethanol 58%, and deionized water 4.3%.

[0065] In the present application, the antireflection composite plating solution can be prepared by the following method:

[0066] (1) Add mesoporous silica microsphere solution into organic solvent (ultrasonic for 30 minutes), then add silane coupling agent and water, and stir at room temperature to promote silanization of SiO2 particle surface;

[0067] (2) Add acrylic resin and stir until uniform to obtain the antireflection composite plating solution.

[0068] The third aspect of the present application provides an antireflection coating prepared from the antireflection composite plating solution of the second aspect.

[0069] The antireflection coating of the present application can be prepared by the following method:

[0070] (1) Substrate treatment: clean the substrate surface to ensure no oil stains and dust (use ultrasonic cleaning, isopropanol wiping or ultraviolet ozone treatment);

[0071] (2) Coating process: uniformly coat the antireflection composite plating solution on the substrate surface by spraying, rolling or dipping method;

[0072] (3) High temperature preheating: preheating temperature is 150-250℃, and the duration is 3-5 minutes (the specific temperature is determined according to the substrate thickness and equipment;

[0073] (4) High temperature treatment: heating the substrate (close to the softening point of the substrate, for example, glass is 650-700℃), ensuring that the internal part of the substrate reaches a uniform temperature, heating time is about 3-5 minutes, and the heating time of thick substrate needs to be extended.

[0158] Principle: Use a spectrophotometer to measure the light transmittance in a specific wavelength range (usually 380-1100 nm, covering the solar spectrum).

[0159] Steps:

[0160] Calibrate the instrument using a standard reference sample (blank glass).

[0161] Place the photovoltaic glass sample (sample after coating) in the light path, avoiding contamination or scratching.

[0162] Scan the wavelength range and record the transmittance spectrum curve.

[0165]

[0166] In the formula:

[0167] T - photovoltaic transmittance;

[0168] T(λ) - spectral transmittance;

[0169] S λ - relative spectral distribution of solar radiation for air mass AM = 1.5;

[0170] Δλ - wavelength interval, in nanometers (nm);

[0171] S λ Δλ - product of the relative spectral distribution of solar radiation and the wavelength interval, see Appendix A;

[0172] λ - wavelength, in nanometers (nm).

[0173] Pencil hardness test method:

[0174] According to the national standard GB / T 6739-2022, the pencil method is used to test the hardness of paint film.

[0176] Ensure that the pencil core is exposed about 5-6mm, and use 400 grit sandpaper to smooth the tip (form a cylindrical flat head, with no burrs on the edge).

[0177] The angle between the pencil and the paint film surface is 45°, and the test is performed.

[0178] Adhesion test method:

[0179] According to GB / T 9286-2021, the cross-hatch test is used to test the paint and varnish.

[0180] Cross-hatch tool: multi-blade cutting knife (blade spacing 1mm), use the tool to cut 6 parallel lines on the paint film surface, the depth needs to penetrate the coating to the substrate. Turn 90° and cut another set of 6 parallel lines, forming 25 squares (5x5).

[0181] The adhesive tape is closely attached to the grid area, and the bubbles are removed by pressing with fingers. After standing for 60±30 seconds, the adhesive tape is quickly torn away at an angle of 60° (it is recommended to complete within 0.5-1 seconds). The surface paint film peeling grade is set to 0-5 levels. The 0 level has the best effect.

[0182] Artificial aging paint film transmittance test:

[0183] The test is carried out according to GB / T 30984.1-2015 Solar Energy Glass.

[0184] The sample is irradiated under a wavelength of 280-320nmz ultraviolet lamp for 168h, and the transmittance of the sample is tested. The test method is consistent with the previous transmittance method. The higher the transmittance, the better the aging resistance.

[0185] The results are shown in Table 1.
