Problems solved by technology

However, due to the unmelted silicon material at the bottom of this method, the impurity rate of the silicon ingot is high, and the yield of the ingot is low. In addition, this method needs to accurately control the remaining amount of the seed crystal. At present, automatic control cannot be realized, and it can only be artificially used. Rod detection, the control of the remaining amount of seed crystal is unstable, and it is difficult to achieve comprehensive promotion
In addition, the existing technology also directly coats the composite of silica powder and silica sol, but the silica powder cannot be dissolved into the silica sol, and the composite is directly melted away, so uniform nucleation centers cannot be formed

Abstract

The invention discloses a quartz crucible for ingotting a polycrystalline silicon solar cell, and a spraying method of the quartz crucible. The spraying method comprises the following steps: a, preparing a mixing agent, namely dissolving a mixture of silicon powder and silicon nitride powder in a solvent, and uniformly mixing; b, spraying, brushing or infiltrating the mixing agent at the bottom of the quartz crucible to form a mixing agent coating layer; c, drying at the temperature of 20-100 DEG C till the mixing agent coating layer is dried. The crucible for ingotting, manufactured by the method provided by the invention has the advantages that silicon wafer crystal defects are relatively few, the minority carrier lifetime is longer, and the cell efficiency is higher; meanwhile, the crucible is simple to operate, stable in performance and easy to largely and quickly popularize, and additional equipment does not need to be added.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing solar cells, in particular to a quartz crucible for ingot casting of polycrystalline silicon solar cells [0002] spraying method. Background technique [0003] Crystalline silicon solar cells have high efficiency and high stability, and are the most advantageous type of solar power generation device. Among them, polycrystalline silicon solar cells occupy more than 80% of the current market due to their high cost performance. However, solar cell technology is still immature, and defects such as low photoelectric conversion efficiency and high power generation cost restrict the large-scale application of solar cells. Therefore, improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery and reducing the manufacturing cost of the battery are problems to be solved urgently in the photovoltaic industry. [0004] Polycrystalline silicon solar cells are made on polycrystalline silicon sub...
