Description
POLYMER SHEET
The invention relates to a polymer sheet comprising a luminescence downshifting compound. Such compounds have the property that it can at least 5 partially absorb radiation having a certain wavelength and re-emit radiation at a longer wavelength than the wavelength of the absorbed radiation.
Such a polymer sheet is known from WO-A-2008/110567. This publication describes a polymer encapsulation sheet which is used to protect a photovoltaic cell and wherein the polymer encapsulation sheet comprises a luminescence 10 downshifting compound. This publication does not disclose any working examples. The specification does disclose a large list of possible luminescence downshifting compounds of which many are organic compounds.
Many organic compounds have favourable properties regarding their efficiency to absorb radiation in a certain wavelength and re-emit radiation at a higher 15 wavelength. A problem of applying such compounds is their stability. When a sheet comprising such organic compound is used in combination with a photovoltaic cell in a solar cell it is preferred that they remain stable during the life time of the solar cell.
The object of the present invention is to provide a polymer sheet comprising a luminescence downshifting compound, wherein the luminescence downshifting 20 compound retains its downshifting capability over a longer period of time.
This object is achieved by the following polymer sheet. Polymer sheet comprising multiple coextruded polymer layers, wherein at least one of these layers comprise a luminescence downshifting compound for at least partially absorbing radiation having a certain wavelength and re-emitting radiation at a longer 25 wavelength than the wavelength of the absorbed radiation.
Applicants found that by having separate polymer layers the stability of the luminescence downshifting compound as present in at least one layer can be improved.
The polymer sheet may have a first polymer layer comprising an UV 30 stabilizer additive and another polymer layer comprises the luminescence downshifting compound. In this manner the luminescence downshifting compound may be protected against UV radiation and UV induced degradation.
2
Preferably two or more layers of the polymer sheet comprise a luminescence downshifting compound. This allows that a layer comprising of luminescence downshifting compound or compounds which are less stable when exposed to radiation of a certain wavelength can be used in combination with a layer 5 comprising a luminescence downshifting compound which can convert by means of a Stoke shift the harmful radiation to a less harmful radiation. The above layout results in a more stable polymer sheet.
The invention further provides that UV sensible polymers, like for example ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) can be used in combination with no or considerably less 10 UV stabilizer. In the prior art UV stabilizers are required to protect the polymer encapsulant sheet comprising EVA. The use of these stabilisers lowered the efficiency of a solar panel because the UV radiation is converted to heat by these UV stabilisers. By using a luminescent downshifting compound which can absorb radiation in the UV wavelength range and emit at a higher wavelength range the UV 15 light is converted into radiation which is less harmful for the polymer and which can be effectively used to generate electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect.
Unless stated otherwise, all percentages, parts, ratios, etc., are by weight. When an amount, concentration, or other value or parameter is given as either a range, preferred range or a list of upper preferable values and lower preferable 20 values, this is to be understood as specifically disclosing all ranges formed from any pair of any upper range limit or preferred value and any lower range limit or preferred value, regardless of whether ranges are separately disclosed. Where a range of numerical values is recited herein, unless otherwise stated, the range is intended to include the endpoints thereof, and all integers and fractions within the range. It is not 25 intended that the scope of the invention be limited to the specific values recited when defining a range.
When the term "about" is used in describing a value or an end-point of a range, the disclosure should be understood to include the specific value or end- point referred to.
30 As used herein, the terms "comprises," "comprising," "includes," "including," "containing," "characterized by," "has," "having" or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such 3 process, method, article, or apparatus. Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, "or" refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. The transitional phrase "consisting essentially of limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) 5 of the claimed invention.
Where applicants have defined an invention or a portion thereof with an open-ended term such as "comprising," it should be readily understood that unless otherwise stated the description should be interpreted to also describe such an invention using the term "consisting essentially of.
10 Use of "a" or "an" are employed to describe elements and components of the invention. This is merely for convenience and to give a general sense of the invention. This description should be read to include one or at least one and the singular also includes the plural unless it is obvious that it is meant otherwise.
In describing certain polymers it should be understood that sometimes 15 applicants are referring to the polymers by the monomers used to produce them or the amounts of the monomers used to produce the polymers. While such a description may not include the specific nomenclature used to describe the final polymer or may not contain product-by-process terminology, any such reference to monomers and amounts should be interpreted to mean that the polymer comprises 20 those monomers (i.e. copolymerized units of those monomers) or that amount of the monomers, and the corresponding polymers and compositions thereof.
In describing and/or claiming this invention, the term "copolymer" is used to refer to polymers formed by copolymerization of two or more monomers. Such copolymers include dipolymers, terpolymers or higher order copolymers.
25 The “melt flow index”, further referred to as MFI herein, is a measure of the ease of flow of the melt of a thermoplastic polymer. It is defined as the mass of polymer, in grams, flowing in ten minutes through a capillary of a specific diameter and length by a pressure applied via prescribed alternative gravimetric weights for alternative prescribed temperatures, and is determined according to ASTM D1238. 30 It should be noted that where a polymer is formulated with a crosslinking mechanism that is initiated above a certain temperature, e.g. EVA copolyerms and peroxides, the rheology values employed herein refer to materials that are not, or only partially crosslinked. Once the crosllonking has been complete, e.g. in a photovoltaic module lamination process, the polymers that have crosslinked are no 4 longer considered as thermoplastic materials. Therefore, in so far as the specification refers to photovoltaic modules after lamination, the described properties refer to the polymers prior to the lamination process, also including the crosslinked polymers.
The term melting point as referred to herein refers to the transition from a 5 crystalline or semi-crystalline phase to a solid amorphous phase, also known as the crystalline melting temperature. The melting point of a polymer may be advantageously be determined by DSC. In the case of a block co-polymer, the term melting point herein refers to the temperature at which the higher melting block component will pass its glass transition temperature, thereby allowing the polymer to 10 melt and flow. The “extrusion temperature” refers to the temperature to which a polymer material is heated during extruded, by means of a heated extruder and/or heated die.
Where to the melting temperature of a certain layer is referred, due to the fact that the layers are essentially composed of polymer materials with additives or 15 optional other polymers only, this temperature will be largely determined by the melting temperature of the polymer material present in the layer. Accordingly, the melting temperature should be considered as the temperature of the polymer material present in the layer. The additives and/or optional polymers may be present in an amount of up to 25 wt%, based on the total weight of the main polymer in a 20 layer, provided that the inclusion of such additives and/or optional polymers does not adversely affect the melt flow index.
Preferably a luminescence downshifting compound is present in a first polymer layer, which luminescence downshifting compound has the property that it can absorb more radiation at a lower wavelength that the luminescence downshifting 25 compound present in a next layer. Thus the barrier layer will comprise luminescence downshifting compound or compounds which will absorb radiation at a lower wavelength than the luminescence downshifting compound(s) in the remaining polymer layer(s). This is advantageous because many organic compounds are sensitive to especially the shorter wavelength radiation. By filtering said shorter 30 wavelength radiation and re-emitting longer wavelength radiation a more stable polymer sheet is obtained. More preferably a first polymer layer, i.e. barrier layer, has the property that it can absorb at least partially UV radiation, suitably between 10 and 400 nm, and re-emit radiation at a higher wavelength. The luminescence downshifting compound(s) which absorb in this UV wavelength may be combined 5 with traditional UV stabilizers. It is preferred to limit the use of such classic stabilizers because they transform the absorbed UV radiation into thermal energy rather than re-emitting the radiation at the longer wavelengths. Thus a more efficient polymer sheet is obtained when such UV stabilizers are omitted or used in a low 5 concentration. The luminescence downshifting compound will then take over the protective function of the UV stabilizer.
The luminescence downshifting compound may be an organic or inorganic luminescent compound, which are capable of partially absorbing radiation having a certain wavelength and re-emitting radiation at a longer wavelength than the 10 wavelength of the absorbed radiation. Such compounds are known and for example described by Efthymios Klampaftis, David Ross, Keith R. McIntosh, Bryce S. Richards, Enhancing the performance of a solar cell via luminescent down-shifting of incident spectrum, a review, Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells 93 (2009) 1182-1194. At least some of the luminescence downshifting compounds are preferably 15 organic compounds because the advantages of the invention apply especially to this group of compounds.

Besides perylene dyes, other fluorescent dyes having similar structures may be employed, such as dyes on the basis of violanthrones and/or iso-violanthrones, such as the structures disclosed in EP-A-073 007.

30 The concentration of the luminescence downshifting compound in the polymer layer will depend on the chosen luminescence downshifting compound. Some compounds are more effective and will require a lower concentration in the polymer 9 layer and some compounds will require a higher concentration because they are less efficient in absorbing and re-emitting radiation.
