[0023] The anti-corrosion solar frame processed using the raw material formula of this invention can effectively improve its own anti-corrosion performance, while ensuring its safety and stability when used in environments with large temperature differences and strong winds and sandstorms, thereby ensuring its service life. The activation liquid applied to the surface of the solar substrate can impart a large number of active groups to the surface of the solar substrate, which is beneficial to the adhesion of the subsequent protective layer to the surface of the solar substrate, while ensuring the adhesion between particles inside the protective layer and reducing porosity. It can effectively prevent the protective layer from peeling off at high temperatures, ensuring the durability of the protective layer, thereby extending the service life of the solar frame. The base liquid of the anodic oxide film is used to form an anodic oxide film on the surface of the solar substrate. The pore-sealing agent is used to seal the pores of the anodic oxide film, which can effectively seal the pores on the outer surface and effectively improve the corrosion resistance of the anodic oxide film. The stearic acid and ammonium fluorotitanate in the surface modifier work together to modify the surface of the anodic oxide film after sealing, forming a micro-nano rough structure with low surface energy, which can improve hydrophobicity, reduce the corrosion contact area and inhibit corrosion, and further improve corrosion resistance.

[0024] This invention enables laser cleaning of the frame substrate surface. During the cleaning process, thermal oxidation occurs on the frame substrate surface, effectively improving the corrosion resistance of the cleaned surface. Spraying an activation solution onto the substrate surface followed by high-temperature flame treatment effectively ensures that aluminum chloride, sodium methyl methacrylate, and hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride work together to impart a large number of active groups to the solar cell substrate surface. Anodizing is then performed on the frame substrate to create an anodic oxide film. Sealing the anodic oxide film effectively seals the surface pores. Surface modification of the sealed anodic oxide film further enhances its hydrophobic properties. The sealed and surface-modified anodic oxide film serves as a protective layer for the solar cell frame substrate. Detailed Implementation

[0047] The anti-corrosion solar cell frames in the comparative examples and embodiments of this invention were tested. First, an automatic potential polarization test was performed on the solar cell frames. The test period was 30 days, the scanning range was -250mV to 1000mV (vs. OCP), and the scanning rate was 0.3333mV / s. Then, the measured polarization curves were fitted using C-View software to obtain the self-corrosion potential A and self-corrosion current density B of the solar cell frames in the comparative examples and embodiments.

[0048] The solar panel frame is then pretreated under the following conditions: light intensity of 200,000 lx and temperature of 60℃ and -20℃, which are switched every 12 hours. At the same time, gravel is dropped from a height of 1 meter above the solar panel frame and freely impacts the surface of the solar panel frame. The gravel particle size is 1.7-2.2 mm. The gravel impacts once per hour, with a total weight of 0.5 kg for each impact. The pretreatment time is 120 hours.

[0049] After pretreatment, an automatic potential polarization test was performed on the solar frame.

[0050] Calculate the self-corrosion potential loss E = (AC) / A * 100%;

[0051] Calculate the self-corrosion current density loss F = (BD) / B * 100%;

[0052] The results are shown in Table 1:

[0053] Table 1:

[0054]

[0055] As shown in the table above, the anti-corrosion solar panel frame of the present invention can effectively improve its own anti-corrosion performance, while ensuring its safety and stability when used in environments with large temperature differences and strong winds and sandstorms, thereby ensuring its service life.

[0056] In this invention, the activation solution is applied to the surface of the solar cell substrate. Aluminum chloride, sodium methyl propylene sulfonate, and hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride work together to impart a large number of active groups to the solar cell substrate surface. This enhances the adhesion of the subsequent protective layer to the substrate surface, while also ensuring the adhesion between particles within the protective layer and reducing porosity. This effectively prevents the protective layer from peeling off at high temperatures, ensuring its durability and extending the lifespan of the solar cell frame. The anodic oxide film base solution is used to form an anodic oxide film on the solar cell substrate surface. Sulfuric acid, aluminum sulfate, glycerol, and deionized water work together to form a double-layer anodic oxide film on the solar cell substrate surface. The anodic oxide film consists of two layers: an inner barrier layer, which is thin, dense, and has high electrical resistance; and an outer porous layer, which is thicker, loose, and has low electrical resistance. A sealing agent is then used to seal the pores of the anodic oxide film, effectively sealing the pores on the outer surface. The alumina in the oxide film and the pore walls reacts chemically with a highly oxidizing potassium dichromate solution to form basic aluminum chromate or basic aluminum dichromate. This hydration of the oxide film increases its volume and seals the pores. This combined effect of product sealing and passivation effectively improves the corrosion resistance of the anodic oxide film. Ammonium fluorotitanate generates Ti(OH)₄ during the sealing process, which fills the pores and effectively improves the corrosion resistance of the anodic oxide film. The film exhibits good density and hydrophobicity, resulting in improved corrosion resistance. The stearic acid and ammonium fluorotitanate in the surface modifier work together to modify the surface of the sealed anodic oxide film, forming a micro-nano rough structure with low surface energy. This improves hydrophobicity, reduces the corrosion contact area, inhibits corrosion, and further enhances corrosion resistance. In step one, various raw materials are weighed. In step two, the raw materials are prepared into a reagent for use. In step three, the frame substrate surface undergoes laser cleaning. During the cleaning process, the frame substrate surface undergoes thermal oxidation, effectively improving the corrosion resistance of the cleaned surface. In step four, the activation solution is sprayed onto... The substrate surface is then subjected to high-temperature flame treatment, which effectively ensures that aluminum chloride, sodium methacrylate, and hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride work together to impart a large number of active groups to the surface of the solar cell substrate. In step five, the frame substrate is anodized to produce an anodic oxide film. In step six, the anodic oxide film is sealed to effectively seal the surface pores. In step seven, the sealed anodic oxide film is surface modified to effectively enhance its surface hydrophobic properties. The anodic oxide film, after sealing and surface modification, serves as a protective layer for the solar cell frame substrate.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
