Problems solved by technology

This method is mainly used to prepare nano-scale silver powder. The prepared silver powder has high purity, good crystallinity and uniform particle size, but the sintering temperature of the existing powder is high, which is not conducive to the rapid sintering process of the slurry.

Abstract

The invention relates to a silver powder production method capable of controlling sintering activity. In particular, on the basis of the silver powder obtained by physical condensation, a layer of silver grains with controllable grain size is deposited on the surface by adopting a chemical plating mode. According to the method, the grain size of silver particles generated on the surface can be controlled according to the concentration and the reaction time of silver nitrate, the silver powder treated through the process is good in dispersity, uniform in particle and high in sintering activity,the method can be used for industrial production, and the silver powder prepared through the method can be better applied to the field of solar cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a method for producing silver powder with controllable sintering activity. Background technique [0002] Solar front silver paste is the key material for making the front grid electrode of silicon solar cells, which directly affects the conversion efficiency (η), series resistance (Rs), open circuit voltage (V∝) and other properties of solar cells. Front silver paste is mainly composed of superfine metal silver powder, glass frit, organic vehicle and inorganic additives. Front-side silver paste is screen-printed and sintered to form a grid electrode on the front of the cell. The quality of the Ag-Si ohmic contact of the grid electrode directly affects the conversion efficiency of the cell. There are two key points and difficulties in the front silver electrode. First, the front silver paste needs to have a high solid content (usually requiring a mass fraction greater than 90...
