Problems solved by technology

For the role of electrical connection, the current silver paste can play a better effect and achieve a relatively low contact resistance, but for the role of a conductor, since the silver paste itself is composed of silver powder, the electrode prepared by it is a porous structure, its conductivity is much worse than that of pure metal dense conductors, which also limits the improvement of electrode conductivity, thus restricting the improvement of photovoltaic cell efficiency
[0004] At present, the conductive paste used for the front metallization of photovoltaic cells is mainly silver paste. Due to the requirement of conductivity, the silver content in the silver paste is very high, reaching about 90%. Seriously restricting the further reduction of photovoltaic cell manufacturing costs
[0005] In addition, the traditional process of using screen printing and silver paste to realize the front metallization of photovoltaic cells is to use the permeability of the screen itself to squeeze the highly viscous silver paste through the mesh under a certain pressure. To the front of the photovoltaic cell, due to the high viscosity of the paste and the small opening of the screen, it takes a lot of pressure to form a qualified electrode pattern. Such a large pressure increases the fragmentation rate when printing the battery. In the future, photovoltaic Under the trend of thinner and thinner battery sheets, the traditional screen printing metallization scheme hinders the application of new technologies

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic cells, and in particular relates to a preparation process of a front electrode of a photovoltaic cell. Background technique [0002] The metallization of the front side of photovoltaic cells is currently mainly achieved by screen printing conductive paste. The electrode prepared by it has a small aspect ratio, a large electrode width, uneven width and serious edge collapse, and a small and uneven electrode height. For photovoltaic cells, large electrode width and serious collapse mean large front shading area, low and uneven electrode height means poor electrode conductivity and high internal resistance of the battery, which seriously affect and restrict the improvement of photovoltaic cell efficiency. [0003] The front electrode of the photovoltaic cell mainly has two functions: on the one hand, the lower part of the electrode forms an alloy and ohmic contact with the front surface of the b...
