The invention relates to the field of
monocrystalline silicon surface treatment, in particular to a low-weight-loss
monocrystalline silicon texturing additive and application thereof. The
monocrystalline silicon texturing additive comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.01%-1% of
polysaccharide sulfonate, 0.1%-3% of a defoaming dispersant, 0.01%-1% of a
corrosion inhibitor, 0.05%-0.5% of a water-
soluble polymer protective agent, 0.05%-2% of an alkali and the balance being water. The texturing additive and an alkali solution are mixed and compound to obtain a low-weight-loss texturing
corrosion solution. The defects of low production capacity, large
weight loss of texturing
silicon slices, high alkali consumption, short service life and the like in the prior art, are overcome. The additive has the advantages that the
reflectivity of a
silicon wafer is reduced, the battery efficiency is effectively improved, the texturing time is shortened, and the single-tank yieldis improved. Meanwhile, the additive is suitable for surface texturing of a large-size and thin
silicon slice, and has positive effects of reducing the alkali consumption, prolonging the service lifeof a single groove, and the like.
