Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic materials technology, and in particular to a UV-resistant light transfer agent, its preparation method, light transfer film, and photovoltaic module. Background Technology
[0002] Light transfer materials (LTCs) are functional materials that can absorb light of a specific wavelength and convert it into light of other wavelengths. LTCs are widely used in the photovoltaic field to improve the efficiency of light energy utilization. Current LTCs mainly include organic fluorescent pigments, rare-earth organic complexes, rare-earth inorganic compounds, and quantum dots. However, these materials still face several technical bottlenecks in practical applications: Firstly, under UV irradiation, LTCs undergo photodegradation, leading to molecular structure destruction. This photo-induced degradation significantly reduces light transfer efficiency, thus affecting module power. Although adding UV blockers can appropriately protect LTCs, it results in a loss of some UV light utilization. Secondly, in HJT and other battery modules, some LTC material in the front-side LTC film migrates from the gaps between cells to the back-side LTC film, reducing the amount of LTC material in the front-side film and causing a decrease in the front-side LTC efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the embodiments described below are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments, and are only used to illustrate the present invention, and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Where specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer shall be followed. Where the manufacturers of reagents or instruments are not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0026] The first aspect of the present invention provides a UV-resistant phototransfer agent, comprising a copolymer obtained by anionic polymerization of a benzotriazole compound containing unsaturated bonds and methyl methacrylate; Benzotriazole compounds containing unsaturated bonds are selected from at least one of the following formulas I to II: , ; In these equations, R is independently selected from each of the following formulas: I and II. , .
[0027] In different embodiments, the structures of benzotriazole compounds containing unsaturated bonds can be as follows: , , , .
[0028] The method for preparing the benzotriazole compounds containing unsaturated bonds of the present invention can be referred to the method described in Chinese patent application CN117720474A, but is not limited thereto. The unsaturated bonds in the benzotriazole compounds of the present invention can undergo anionic polymerization with the double bonds in methyl methacrylate under the initiation of an initiator to obtain a copolymer. The benzotriazole compounds in the copolymer are distributed on the polymer chains of methyl methacrylate, avoiding the close packing of the benzotriazole compounds themselves, which not only improves the dispersion uniformity but also reduces fluorescence quenching; furthermore, the formation of chemical bonds in the copolymer structure enhances the stability of the benzotriazole compounds. Simultaneously, the methyl methacrylate segments coat the benzotriazole compounds, forming a physical barrier and improving the UV aging resistance of the phototransfer agent. Furthermore, the polymerized methyl methacrylate has high light transmittance and good compatibility with film substrates such as EVA resin.
[0029] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the mass ratio of the benzotriazole compound containing unsaturated bonds to methyl methacrylate is (5-20):100. In different embodiments, the mass ratio of the benzotriazole compound containing unsaturated bonds to methyl methacrylate can be 5:100, 8:100, 10:100, 12:100, 15:100, 18:100, 20:100, or any combination thereof. Controlling the ratio within the above range helps to balance the distribution of the benzotriazole compound in the copolymer chain and the coating and protection of the benzotriazole compound by the methyl methacrylate segments. When the amount of benzotriazole compounds containing unsaturated bonds is too low, the content of benzotriazole compounds in the prepared light transfer agent is low, resulting in low fluorescence efficiency. When the amount of benzotriazole compounds containing unsaturated bonds is too high, it is not conducive to the distribution of benzotriazole compounds in the copolymer chain and the full coating of benzotriazole compounds by methyl methacrylate.
[0030] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the number average molecular weight of the copolymer is 8,000 to 15,000.

[0033] This invention prepares UV-resistant phototransfer agents through anionic polymerization. On the one hand, this method is beneficial for controlling the molecular weight and results in a narrow molecular weight distribution of the copolymer. On the other hand, after the copolymerization reaction, the terminal unsaturated bonds can be retained, which is beneficial for modifying the phototransfer agent onto the EVA resin through covalent bonds during the assembly and lamination process of the components, effectively inhibiting the migration of the phototransfer agent.
[0034] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the catalyst is 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). Further, the amount of catalyst used is 0.05% to 2% of the mass of methyl methacrylate, such as 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, or any combination thereof.
[0035] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the initiator is ethylene glycol. Further, the amount of initiator is 0.05% to 0.1% of the mass of methyl methacrylate, such as 0.05%, 0.06%, 0.07%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.1%, or any combination thereof. Using the above-mentioned amount of initiator ensures that the copolymer obtained by anionic polymerization has a suitable molecular weight.
[0036] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the solvent includes xylene. Further, the amount of solvent used is 0.5 to 2 times the mass of methyl methacrylate, such as 0.5 times, 0.8 times, 1 time, 1.2 times, 1.5 times, 1.8 times, 2 times, or any combination thereof.
[0037] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the reaction temperature in the anionic polymerization reaction is 50–70°C, and the reaction time is 4–6 h.
[0038] In different embodiments, the reaction temperature can be a range of 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C or any combination thereof; the reaction time can be a range of 4h, 4.5h, 5h, 5.5h, 6h or any combination thereof. The reaction time can be conventionally adjusted according to the number average molecular weight of the copolymer obtained by the anionic polymerization reaction to obtain a copolymer with a molecular weight that meets the requirements.

The test results are shown in Table 1.

During the lamination process, the heating plate temperature is 140℃, the vacuum time is 5 minutes to remove air between the layers, and then three pressurizations are performed to press the layers together.

Furthermore, the methyl methacrylate segments encapsulate the benzotriazole compounds, forming a physical barrier and improving the UV aging resistance of the light transfer agent. This results in enhanced light transfer performance of the corresponding light transfer film, increased component power, and improved UV resistance at 120 kWh / m². 2 The power degradation rate of the components decreases afterward.
