  • 摘要: 光伏组件表面污染是制约光电转换效率的关键因素。为此,本研究设计并制备了一种基于SiO2与埃洛石纳米管(HNTs)复合的多功能涂层,通过HNTs独特的管状结构在涂层表面与SiO2结合并均匀分散,在涂层表面构筑纳米结构。其中HNTs表面的铝羟基(—Al—OH)通过两种途径与SiO2表面硅羟基(—Si—OH)脱水缩合,形成Si—O—Si和Si—O—Al键,与3,4-乙烯二氧噻吩(PEDOT)充分混合后形成的致密复合网络结构共同赋予了涂层远超单一SiO2或单一HNTs涂层的高硬度和高耐磨性。涂层兼具超亲水、与抗静电特性,可通过协同作用有效抑制灰尘附着、提升透光率,从而保障组件高效稳定发电。此外,涂层还具有优异的抗雾性能及抗腐蚀性能。测试结果表明,在标准光照条件下,镀膜组件峰值功率较未镀膜组件提升1.33%;在模拟积灰环境中,于45°与75°入射光条件下,镀膜组件发电量分别较未镀膜组件提升19.8%和44.8%。该涂层不仅表现出良好的环境适应性与耐久性,更为光伏组件表面功能化提供了一种具有实际应用前景的高性价比解决方案。

     

    Abstract: Surface contamination of photovoltaic (PV) modules is a major constraint on their photoelectric conversion efficiency. To address this issue, we developed a multifunctional composite coating using a synergistic composite of SiO2 and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs). The unique tubular structure of HNTs allows them to integrate uniformly with SiO2, creating a nanostructured surface when dispersed in the coating. The aluminum hydroxyl groups (Al—OH) on the HNTs surface undergo condensation with the silicon hydroxyl groups (Si—OH) of SiO2, forming robust Si—O—Si and Si—O—Al bonds. When combined with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT), a dense composite network is produced, resulting in a coating with substantially higher hardness and abrasion resistance than those based on SiO2 or HNTs only. The coating exhibits both superhydrophilicity and antistatic behavior. These two properties work together to effectively minimize dust accumulation and improve light transmittance, thereby supporting stable and efficient power generation from PV modules. Furthermore, the coating demonstrates excellent anti-fogging and anti-corrosion performance. Test results revealed that under standard illumination conditions, the peak power output of coated modules increased by 1.33% compared to uncoated ones. In simulated dust accumulation environments with incident light angles of 45° and 75°, the power generation of coated modules rose by 19.8% and 44.8%, respectively, relative to uncoated modules. In addition to outstanding environmental adaptability and durability, this coating offers a cost-effective and practical route toward the surface functionalization of PV modules.
