Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of adhesives, in particular to a kind of fast curing acrylic glue and application. BACKGROUND

[0002] Solar cell is an electrical device that converts light energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic effect. Traditional solar cells collect the current generated by the cell through busbars and fingers, and the current is finally connected to external leads through solder strips. Busbars and fingers are formed by conductive silver paste through high-temperature sintering. Due to the presence of solder strips, a shadow dead zone is formed in the light absorption area, which has a negative impact on the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The shingled photovoltaic module is connected in series in the form of overlapping cell pieces. The overlapping parts are bonded together with conductive adhesive. The conductive adhesive not only connects the cell pieces, but also conducts electricity.

[0003] The existing shingled conductive adhesive is mainly based on single-component epoxy resin, single-component silicone resin and single-component acrylic resin adhesion technology. The main advantage of epoxy adhesive is high bonding strength, but the curing time is too long, which affects the process efficiency. Single-component silicone resin has good flexibility and low internal stress after curing, but the bonding strength is low. Single-component acrylic resin has fast curing speed and high bonding strength, but it is rigid and has high modulus, which is prone to cracking under the condition of cold and hot impact with force load, resulting in poor reliability and module failure.

[0004] Chinese patent CN109439268A discloses a low Tg low silver content conductive adhesive for photovoltaic shingled module. The silver-containing conductive adhesive uses multi-functional (functional group 6-9) polybutadiene type polyurethane acrylate and multi-functional (1.5-3) VTBN (vinyl terminated butyronitrile rubber) as the base oligomer, supplemented with active acrylic monomer diluent / peroxide and other additives. The system has fast curing speed and excellent conductive performance, but the multi-functional polybutadiene type polyurethane acrylate in the raw material involves a complex two-step reaction synthesis process.

[0005] Chinese patent CN103928077A discloses a conductive adhesive, the polymer matrix resin of which is composed of at least one ethylene / alkyl (meth)acrylate copolymer elastomer and at least one ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer. The adhesive needs to be hot-pressed into a film and cut into strips for use, which is relatively complex compared with the screen printing coating process.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to develop a new acrylic shingled conductive adhesive with good weather resistance, fast curing speed, balanced bonding strength and internal stress (modulus) of the cured product. SUMMARY

[0065]

[0066] Curing condition 1: hot stage 150℃ for 45s.

[0067] Curing condition 2: put into oven 150℃, heat for 10min.

[0070]

[0071] Curing condition 1: hot stage 150℃ for 45s.

[0072] Curing condition 2: put into oven 150℃, heat for 10min.

[0073] From Example 1 to Example 8: the volume resistivity of the cured object placed in the 150℃ oven for 1min changes little compared with that placed in the 150℃ hot stage for 45s, which can be considered that the curing degree under the two conditions is the same. That is, curing condition 1 has realized rapid curing, and has good electrical performance.

[0074] Comparative Example 1, relative to Example 1, the polyurethane acrylate oligomer was replaced by the methacrylate-terminated nitrile rubber, and the tensile modulus and glass transition temperature and adhesive strength of the cured product were greatly reduced, and the corresponding volume resistivity was greatly increased; while Comparative Example 2, relative to Example 2, the methacrylate-terminated nitrile rubber was replaced by the polyurethane acrylate oligomer, and the tensile modulus and glass transition temperature and adhesive strength of the cured product were greatly increased, and the volume resistivity was slightly decreased.

Similar situations also exist in Example 1 and Example 2.

[0076] Comparative Example 3 and Example 7, the ratio of the mono-functional acrylate monomer to the two-functional acrylate monomer was increased, resulting in an increase in volume resistivity, and a decrease in glass transition temperature and adhesive strength and modulus, which may be related to the decrease in crosslinking density of the curing system. Similar phenomena can also be seen in the comparison of Example 1 and Example 4, and the comparison of Example 7 and Example 8.

[0077] Comparative Example 4 and Example 8, the proportion of the sum of the contents of the two oligomers to the sum of the contents of the three monomers was increased, resulting in an increase in volume resistivity, and a decrease in glass transition temperature, modulus and adhesive strength.

[0078] Example 9 and Examples 6, 10, the corresponding silver powder content was 1.0 times, 1.5 times and 2.0 times the sum of the amounts of the other components, and as the silver content increased, the volume resistivity and adhesive strength showed a downward trend.

[0079] The above specific embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present application, and are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not limiting on the present application, and any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made to the present application fall within the protection scope of the present application.
