Abstract

The invention discloses high-conductivity silver paste for a positive electrode of a crystalline silicon solar cell. The silver paste comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 75-90% of Ag powder, 2-10% of glass powder and 5-20% of organic carrier, wherein the glass powder comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 30-75% of PbO, 7-30% of SiO2, 2-30% of Bi2O3, 1-5% of Al2O3, 1-5% of V2O5, 1-10% of ZnO, 1-5% of Ag2O and 1-8% of MgO. The silver paste has the following beneficial effects: the micron-sized silver powder is adopted to prepare the silver paste, the prepared silver paste has good rheological behavior and thixotropy, a single wafer consumes less silver paste, and the compactness of the positive grid line is improved, thus improving the conductivity; and the glass powder with low-melting erosion property is adopted and can effectively and moderately erode the antireflective film, thus reducing the contact resistance of the crystalline silicon solar cell and improving the conversion efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a front electrode silver paste of a crystalline silicon solar photovoltaic cell and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of high-performance solar electronic paste preparation. Background technique [0002] Energy and environment are two basic issues facing human society. Most of the energy on the earth comes directly or indirectly from solar energy, and solar energy can be regarded as an inexhaustible and inexhaustible clean energy. When non-renewable energy sources such as electricity, coal, and oil are running out frequently, and energy issues have increasingly become a bottleneck restricting the development of the international society and economy, more and more countries have begun to implement the "Sunshine Plan" to develop solar energy resources and seek new impetus for economic development. Driven by the huge potential of the international photovoltaic market, the solar cell manufacturing in...
