Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of solar cell encapsulation adhesive films and preparation thereof, and particularly relates to a rare earth europium complex containing a reactive double bond, a POE light-converting adhesive film containing the rare earth europium complex and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Solar energy is a sustainable and clean energy source, and crystalline silicon solar cells play a leading role in light conversion. To prevent the cells from being damaged in harsh environments such as light and UV rays over a long period of time, they are usually protected with excellent encapsulation films. POE has high transmittance, high volume resistivity, and low water vapor permeability, making it a good encapsulation material. Since the spectrum of response of silicon solar cells does not match the solar energy spectrum, the conversion efficiency remains very low. How to broaden the spectral response of cells and improve the efficiency of solar cells is an urgent problem that the solar cell industry needs to solve. Selecting down-shifting species to convert ultraviolet light, which solar cells cannot respond to, into visible light is an effective way to improve the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic modules.
[0003] Europium complexes absorb ultraviolet light and emit visible light that solar cells can respond to. This not only improves solar cell conversion efficiency but also effectively addresses the problem of traditional UV absorbers and antioxidants, which absorb UV light and convert it into heat, leading to energy loss in the battery and becoming ineffective and difficult to remove after long-term use. Conventional small-molecule europium complex light-conversion agents have poor compatibility with POE and tend to migrate to the substrate surface during use, causing the film to lose its light-conversion properties. There is an urgent need to develop europium complexes with improved compatibility with POE and superior light-conversion and UV-resistance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Based on the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a rare earth europium complex containing a reactive double bond and a POE light-converting adhesive film, as well as their preparation methods.
[0005] The present invention first uses methacrylic acid (MAA) and 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-furyl)-1,3-butanedione (FTFA) as ligands and triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) as a co-ligand to synthesize a rare earth europium complex EuMFT with a reactive double bond, and then combines EuMFT and a modifier POE- g -PHEMA and other additives are added to POE, because POE- g -PHEMA and EuMFT have a strong interaction force, while POE- gThe good compatibility of PHEMA and POE allows EuMFT to be evenly dispersed in POE to create the film raw material, which is then laminated and cross-linked to produce the light-converting film. During the lamination and cross-linking process, EuMFT bonds to the POE molecular chains through a double-bond addition reaction, forming a high-molecular-weight light-converting agent. This imparts permanent light-converting and UV-resistant properties to the film, preventing the small-molecule light-converting agent from migrating to the POE surface during use and becoming ineffective. Furthermore, the introduction of polar components effectively enhances intermolecular forces, giving the light-converting film improved bonding properties.
[0006] The present invention first provides a rare earth europium complex containing a reactive double bond, with rare earth europium as a central ion, methacrylic acid (MAA) and 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-furyl)-1,3-butanedione (FTFA) as ligands, and triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO) as a co-ligand; the rare earth europium complex has a reactive double bond, and its structural formula is as follows:

[0013] Among them, the molar ratio of EuCl3, MAA, FTFA and TPPO is 1:1:2:2.
[0014] More specifically, the specific steps of step (2) are: preparing MAA ethanol solution, FTFA ethanol solution and TPPO ethanol solution respectively; dropping MAA ethanol solution into EuCl3 ethanol solution, adding pH regulator to adjust pH to 6-7, reaction temperature to 60-80°C, and fully reacting; then dropping FTFA ethanol solution, and fully reacting; finally dropping TPPO ethanol solution, and reacting to produce precipitate; collecting the precipitate by centrifugation, washing and drying.

After a reaction time of 1-2 hours, FTFA was added dropwise, and the reaction continued for 1-2 hours. Then, an ethanolic solution of TPPO was added dropwise, and the reaction continued for 3-5 hours.

During subsequent lamination and crosslinking, the double bonds of EuMFT participate in the reaction, further firmly bonding to the POE molecular chains to form a high-molecular-weight light-converting agent. This avoids the problem of small-molecule light-converting agents migrating and concentrating on the substrate surface during use, causing failure. The light-converting adhesive film prepared by this invention not only exhibits long-lasting light conversion and UV resistance, but also exhibits superior bonding properties compared to conventional POE adhesive films.

[0114] (3) POE / POE- g -Preparation of PHEMA / EuDT light-converting adhesive film
[0115] EuDT was used to replace the EuMFT containing active double bonds of the present invention to prepare 0.15 wt% POE / POE- g -PHEMA / EuDT light-converting film.
[0116] It can be seen from Table 1 that the crosslinking degree of the film prepared in Comparative Example 6 is 86.9%.
[0117] It can be seen from Table 2 that the tensile strength of the film prepared in Comparative Example 6 is 17.4 MPa, the elongation at break is 1532%, and the peel strength is 20.5 N / cm.
[0118] Table 3 shows that the JV characteristic parameters of the cell prepared by laminating the crystalline silicon solar cell, the light conversion film, the glass and the back plate from the inside out to form the light conversion film in Comparative Example 6 show a cell efficiency of 13.06%.
[0119] Table 1 shows the crosslinking degree of POE film
[0120] .
[0121] As can be seen from the Examples and Comparative Example 2 in Table 1, the degree of crosslinking of the film increases with increasing EuMFT content, and the active double bonds of EuMFT participate in the crosslinking reaction during curing. Comparative Examples 2-6 and Example 1 show that small molecule complexes without double bonds have little effect on the degree of crosslinking of the film during curing.
[0122] Table 2 shows the mechanical properties of POE film
[0123] .
[0124] From Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in Table 2, it can be seen that the modifier POE- g-The introduction of PHEMA increases the tensile strength and elongation at break, playing a toughening role. It can be seen from Examples 1-4 that with the increase of EuMFT content, the tensile strength of the light-converting film increases significantly and the elongation at break decreases. It can be seen that the chemical bond generated by EuMFT and the POE matrix during cross-linking significantly enhances the bonding force, and the strong polar complex and the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the encapsulated glass produce chemical bonds during cross-linking, further improving the peel strength and significantly improving the bonding performance. In Comparative Examples 4-6, the polarity of the complex produces hydrogen bonds with the matrix, which increases the tensile strength, decreases the elongation at break, and increases the peel strength, but the degree of change is not large. In Comparative Example 3, the strong polarity of the complex produces a strong force with the matrix, which significantly increases the tensile strength and peel strength of the film, but is still less than the tensile strength and peel strength of the film in Example 4. This shows that EuMFT can effectively improve the bonding force of the matrix.
[0125] Table 3 JV characteristic parameters of batteries prepared with POE film
[0126] .
[0127] As shown in Examples 1-4 in Table 3, cell efficiency increases with increasing EuMFT content. Comparative Examples 2 and 4 show that the photoelectric conversion efficiency increases from 12.99% to 14.08%. The presence of EuMFT-doped light-converting adhesive film effectively improves the cell's photoelectric conversion efficiency. Comparative Examples 3-6 show that doping POE films with other complexes also improves cell conversion efficiency, but to a lesser extent than with EuMFT.
[0128] The film was subjected to UV aging and long-term storage to test its fluorescence effect and investigate its permanent light conversion and UV resistance. The film was placed in a UV aging chamber, irradiated with UV light of 0.87 W / m² in the wavelength range of 280 nm to 400 nm. The irradiation in the 280 nm to 320 nm band accounted for (3-10)% of the total irradiation. The film was irradiated for 500 h at a temperature of 60°C ± 5°C. After the film was removed and stored for a period of time, its light conversion performance was tested. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0129] Table 4 Fluorescence intensity of POE film after UV aging
[0130] .
[0131] As can be seen from the examples, the excitation and emission peak intensities before and after aging remain essentially unchanged, and the fluorescence intensity is essentially unaffected by UV aging and prolonged storage. This indicates that the EuMFT complex has good compatibility with the POE matrix and will not migrate to the surface of the matrix during use, causing failure. It exhibits permanent light conversion and good UV resistance. However, the light-converting film in the comparative example exhibits a halving of its excitation and emission peak intensities after aging and prolonged storage, significantly reducing its fluorescence performance. This is significantly affected by the external environment, likely due to migration or failure of the small molecule light-converting agent during aging. It lacks permanent light conversion and its UV resistance is far inferior to that of the POE / POE- g -PHEMA / EuMFT light-converting film.
