Problems solved by technology

However, it has been found in practical applications that the isopropanol system has the following problems: (1) because the isopropanol system is volatile and unstable, it needs liquid replenishment in the process of making texture, which increases the preparation steps; (2) the use of isopropanol system (3) The texturing process using isopropanol system is difficult to control and has poor repeatability; thus it is not suitable for industrial production

Abstract

The invention discloses an etching liquid for preparing a texture surface of a monocrystalline silicon solar cell. The etching liquid comprises the following components by weight: (a) 1-10% of base; (b) 3-15% of sodium silicate; (c) 5-20% of 1,3,5-cyclohexane triol; and the balance of water. By using the etching liquid disclosed by the invention, the size and uniformity of the texture surface areguaranteed; the prepared texture surface has the size and uniformity equivalent to those of an IPA system; and the etching liquid can be applied to a monocrystalline silicon texturing system and has a positive practical significance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an etchant, in particular to an etchant for preparing the textured surface of a single crystal silicon solar cell, which is used to prepare the textured structure of the solar cell. Background technique [0002] Conventional fossil fuels are increasingly depleted. Among all sustainable energy sources, solar energy is undoubtedly the cleanest, most common and most potential alternative energy source. At present, among all solar cells, silicon solar cells are one of the solar cells that have been widely commercialized. This is because silicon materials have extremely abundant reserves in the earth's crust, and silicon solar cells have Excellent electrical and mechanical properties; among them, monocrystalline silicon solar cells occupy most of the market share. [0003] At present, the conventional production process of monocrystalline silicon solar cells includes: texturing, diffusion, insulation, coating, and silk screen sinte...
