Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of photovoltaic cell encapsulation films, and specifically to a method for detecting low concentration acid value in photovoltaic films. Background Technique

[0002] Photovoltaic films are one of the core materials in the encapsulation link of photovoltaic modules, and play a crucial role in the life and power generation efficiency of solar cells. The quality of photovoltaic films is of vital importance for the protection of batteries. In the prior art, currently, relatively mature photovoltaic module encapsulation film materials at home and abroad include EVA, POE, EP (films containing EVA raw materials), etc. However, due to their structural and performance reasons, EVA and EP films are prone to cause the degradation of EVA film molecular chains under long-term aging and water vapor influence, releasing acidic substances such as acetic acid, acid-containing organic substances, and polyacids. These acidic substances will corrode the surface and solder ribbons of the battery chips, and at the same time will further promote the aging of the film. For POE films, although they are relatively stable in structure, there will be residual decomposition of some organic additives in the encapsulation film formulation design, resulting in the generation of acidic substances, thus causing corrosion of the battery chips and solder ribbons. The existence of these problems will directly affect the power generation efficiency and battery life.

[0003] Due to the low concentration of acidic substances in the film, there are great difficulties in acid value testing. Currently, for the acid value testing of films, Chinese Patent CN202211274306.7 discloses a test and evaluation method for corrosion resistance, and uses the acid-base titration method to measure the acid value of the film. However, due to the low content of acid value in the film, there may be large errors for traditional acid-base titration. Chinese Patent CN202211586465.0 uses LC-MS to test the film precipitation solution, and can analyze the substances and contents of acids in the solution. However, the acids in the film are extremely easy to escape. During the aging sample preparation and film precipitation process, acetic acid and some volatile acidic substances are extremely easy to escape, resulting in deviations in the acid value results during the testing process, and the corrosion effects of this part of acidic substances on solar cells and solder ribbons cannot be ignored. The present invention provides a method for detecting low concentration acid value in photovoltaic films, which simulates the generation of aging acidic substances and the volatilization of acidic substances, and can more comprehensively and accurately analyze and characterize the actual content of acid value in the film, providing a reference for the formulation design and additive selection of encapsulation films. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for detecting low concentration acid value in photovoltaic films, which can more comprehensively and accurately analyze and characterize the actual content of acid value in the film, and provides a reference for the formulation design and additive selection of encapsulation films.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for detecting low concentration acid value in a photovoltaic encapsulant film is carried out according to the following steps:

[0007] It mainly combines quantitative analysis by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-GC-MS) and testing with an automatic potentiometric titrator. The testing method includes the following steps:

After swelling extraction by water bath ultrasonic treatment, an extraction solution is obtained. After titration testing with an automatic potentiometric titrator combined with an indicator, the acid value C is obtained;

[0010] (c) Analysis of the test results.

[0011] 1. The method for detecting low concentration acid value in a photovoltaic encapsulant film according to claim 1, characterized in that it is carried out according to the following steps:

[0012] In step (a), the method for preparing the sample by high-temperature and high-humidity aging is to laminate it into a component or place the laminated encapsulant film in a headspace vial;

[0013] In step (b), for the HS-GC-MS method, the test environment settings are as follows: the temperature of the sample thermostat is set at 50 - 150 °C, the temperature of the injection valve is set at 100 - 170 °C, the temperature of the transfer line is set at 130 - 200 °C, the column temperature: 50 - 60 °C, the column flow rate is 1 - 2 ml / min, and the high-purity nitrogen gas flow rate is 1 - 3 ml / min;

[0014] Its detection steps are as follows: First, seal the sample to be tested in a headspace vial with a mass of M (g), place it in a thermostat and heat for 30 - 60 min, then inject the sample by headspace and conduct HS-GC-MS testing. According to the comparison with the standard curve, the acid content m x (g) in the sample is obtained.

[0015] Preferably, in step (a), the preparation of the sample after high-temperature and high-humidity aging in a headspace vial is carried out according to the following specific steps: Place the laminated encapsulant film into a headspace vial, then add 0.01 - 2 ml of deionized water into the headspace vial, cover and seal it, place it in a high-temperature and high-humidity aging chamber, simulate the high-temperature aging environment in the headspace vial, and the treatment time is 96 - 192 h;

[0016] In step (b), the standard curve is the standard curve of acetic acid solution, with a concentration range of 0 - 1000 ppm. The standard curve S = ma + b of the measured acetic acid content and peak area is obtained, where S is the peak area, m is the mass of acetic acid, and a, b are coefficients;

[0017] The acid content is measured by HS-GC-MS, and through the calculation formula:

[0018] C x = m x ×1000×56.1×1000 / (M×60.05)

[0019] the acid value C can be obtained x ; where C x is the acid value in the adhesive film, m x is the acid content measured by HS-GC-MS, and M is the mass of the sample for headspace injection.

[0020] Preferably, in step (a), the lamination temperature is 135 - 150 °C, the treatment time is 15 - 30 min; the high-temperature aging treatment temperature is 100 - 120 °C, the humidity is 95 - 100% RH, and the treatment time is 96 - 192 h.

[0021] Preferably, in step (b), the solvent is at least one of ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, toluene, xylene, n-heptane, n-octane, deionized water;

[0022] the water bath ultrasonic frequency is 70 - 90 kHz, the water bath temperature is 20 - 60 °C, and the ultrasonic time is 30 - 60 min;

[0024] the indicator is one of phenolphthalein and bromothymol blue.

[0025] Preferably, in step (b),

[0026] the solvent is one of ethanol, n-heptane, xylene, a 1:1 mixture of ethanol and n-heptane, and a 1:1 mixture of ethanol and deionized water; the volume of the solvent is 50 - 100 ml;

[0027] the titration test is alkali titration and back titration, because the organic acids in the adhesive film are mainly weak acids.

[0028] Preferably, in step (b), the titration test is back titration. The back titration uses a standard concentration of alkali solution to react with the extract by stirring, uses an acid to conduct potentiometric titration on the test solution, synchronously confirms the titration end point through the potential and the indicator, and through the calculation formula:

[0029] C = 56.1×1000×[C1×V1 - C2×(V2 - V0)] / M0

[0030] the acid value C can be obtained, where C is the acid value measured by an automatic potentiometric titrator, C1 is the molar concentration of the standard base solution, V1 is the volume of the standard base added, C2 is the molar concentration of the acid, V2 is the volume of the acid solution consumed at the titration endpoint, V0 is the volume of the acid solution consumed by the blank sample, and M0 is the weight of the adhesive film.

[0032] The volume ratio of the standard base solution to the extraction solution added is 1:50 to 1:100;

[0033] The acid solution is a hydrochloric acid ethanol solution with a concentration of 0.01 to 0.1 mol / L.

[0034] Preferably, in step (c), the test result analysis is that the acid value content measured by HG-GC-MS and the acid mass content measured by the back titration method pass through the formula:

[0035] AN = C + C x ,

[0036] and measured, where AN is the acid value of the sample to be tested.

[0037] Preferably, the mass of the photovoltaic adhesive film is 5 to 12 g;

[0038] In step (a), the photovoltaic adhesive film is one of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyolefin elastomer (POE), and an adhesive film containing EVA raw material (EP);

[0039] In step (a), the sample to be tested is: (1) an unlaminated encapsulation adhesive film; (2) an encapsulation adhesive film after lamination and crosslinking; (3) a sample after high-temperature and high-humidity aging; (4) polymer particles.

[0040] The gain effect of adopting the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0041] In practice, after the photovoltaic encapsulation film has experienced long-term environmental aging and water vapor intrusion, the molecular chains of the film itself are likely to degrade, releasing a part of acid. In addition, some organic additives added to the encapsulation film will also decompose to produce some acidic substances after aging. These acidic organic substances include one or more of acetic acid, carboxylic acid organic substances, phenol, carbonic acid or silanol. In a long-term aging and humid environment, they will corrode the surface of the battery chip and the welding strip, thus affecting the life and power generation efficiency of the module. However, the concentration of these acidic organic substances is relatively low, and acetic acid is extremely volatile and easy to escape. It is difficult for ordinary acid value tests to accurately reflect the true situation of the acid value of the encapsulated module. Based on the above situation, the present invention simulates the actual application (long-term aging and water vapor intrusion) through high temperature and high humidity, obtains the content of acidic substances generated in the film (i.e., C), comprehensively considers the existence of low-concentration acids, weak acids, and acetic acid that is extremely easy to escape, uses a headspace bottle to simulate the high temperature and high humidity aging environment, and innovatively proposes for the first time to combine the headspace GC-MS method with the automatic potentiometric method. By adopting the back titration method and an indicator, the error brought during the test is further reduced, and the acid value situation of the encapsulation film after aging can be accurately analyzed. By analyzing the acid value content in the encapsulation film and combining the corrosion situation of the sample module in the EL, the potential failure risk to the encapsulation film can be inferred. This detection method comprehensively analyzes the acid value content in the film, has higher detection accuracy, the test results have guiding significance for the encapsulation film, and the evaluation reliability is higher.
