In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0049] The following describes the solar cell 100 , the method for preparing the solar cell 100 , and the screen printing device according to the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the solar cell 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a silicon wafer 110, a back electrode 130 and an aluminum back field 200. The silicon wafer 110 is provided with a back electrode surface 120. The back electrode 130 comprises a first silver paste layer 160 and a second silver paste layer 140, both of which are connected to the back electrode surface 120, the first silver paste layer 160 is used for welding with a welding strip, the second silver paste layer 140 at least wraps a part of the first silver paste layer 160, the tensile strength of the first silver paste layer 160 is higher than that of the second silver paste layer 140, and the conductivity of the second silver paste layer 140 is higher than that of the first silver paste layer 160. The aluminum back field 200 is connected to the back electrode surface 120, and the aluminum back field 200 is connected to the second silver paste layer 140.

[0051] Since the tensile strength of the first silver paste layer 160 is higher than that of the second silver paste layer 140, the welding performance of the first silver paste layer 160 is higher than that of the second silver paste layer 140. By using the first silver paste layer 160 as the welding part between the back electrode 130 and the welding strip, it is possible to ensure that the back electrode 130 and the welding strip have a good welding effect. Since the conductivity of the second silver paste layer 140 is higher than that of the first silver paste layer 160, the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100 can be improved by contacting the second silver paste layer 140 with the aluminum back surface field 200 for electrical conduction. By setting the back electrode 130 as an electrode composed of the first silver paste layer 160 and the second silver paste layer 140, the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100 can be improved while ensuring that the back electrode 130 has sufficient welding performance.

[0052] Specifically, the tensile strength and conductive properties of the first silver paste layer 160 and the second silver paste layer 140 can be achieved by adjusting the properties of the silver particles, adhesives, solvents and additives of the conductive silver paste. Among them, the tensile strength can be adjusted by adjusting the content of the adhesive, for example, the content of organic polymers, glass powder, and other oxides as a bonding phase, and the selection of solvents and additives also has a certain influence on the tensile strength. The conductive properties can be adjusted by adjusting the content of silver particles in the conductive silver paste and the selection of solvents, and the selection of solvents and additives also has a certain influence on the tensile strength.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the content of silver particles in the first silver paste layer 160 is less than that in the second silver paste layer 140 , and the content of silver particles in the first silver paste layer 160 and the second silver paste layer 140 are both less than 90%.

[0054] Silver particles are the main component of the conductive silver paste, and the conductive properties of the first silver paste layer 160 and the second silver paste layer 140 are directly related to the content of the silver particles. When the content of the silver particles is greater than 90%, the conductivity of the silver particles reaches a peak value, and the resistance value of the back electrode 130 will increase with the increase in the content of the silver particles, affecting the conductivity of the back electrode 130. When the content of the silver particles is less than 90%, the conductivity of the conductive silver paste is positively correlated with the content of the silver particles. Therefore, by setting the content of the silver particles in the first silver paste layer 160 to be less than the content of the silver particles in the second silver paste layer 140, the conductivity of the second silver paste layer 140 can be made higher than the conductivity of the first silver paste layer 160, thereby ensuring that the second silver paste layer 140 and the aluminum back surface field 200 have good conductivity.

[0055] Specifically, the content of the silver particles in the first silver paste layer 160 may be selected to be 60% to 80%, and the content of the silver particles in the second silver paste layer 140 may be selected to be 70% to 90%.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the materials of the first silver paste layer 160 and the second silver paste layer 140 both include glass powder, and the content of the glass powder in the first silver paste layer 160 is greater than the content of the glass powder in the second silver paste layer 140 .

[0057] Glass powder can be used as a binder for the conductive silver paste to achieve the solidification and film formation of the conductive silver paste. The adhesion of the silver paste layer formed by the solidification of the conductive silver paste is positively correlated with the content of the glass powder. Therefore, by setting the content of the glass powder of the first silver paste layer 160 to be greater than the content of the glass powder of the second silver paste layer 140, the tensile strength of the first silver paste layer 160 can be higher than that of the second silver paste layer 140, thereby ensuring that the first silver paste layer 160 has sufficient tensile strength when used for welding, reducing the probability of the welding ribbon falling off or poor welding.

[0058] Furthermore, since the second silver paste layer 140 has a lower glass powder content, the second silver paste layer 140 and the aluminum back surface field 200 have less mutual diffusion after sintering, which can reduce the contact resistance, thereby improving the conductive contact between the second silver paste layer 140 and the aluminum back surface field 200. In addition, the second silver paste layer 140 with a lower glass content can effectively increase the minority carrier lifetime of the silver-silicon contact area, protect the open circuit voltage of the battery, and extend the service life of the solar cell panel.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second silver paste layer 140 has a set length, and an end surface of the second silver paste layer 140 along the length direction includes a curved surface.

[0060] The second silver paste layer 140 is formed by a drying operation after the conductive silver paste is screen-printed onto the back electrode surface 120 by a screen printing device. In the screen printing operation, the right-angle shape is prone to printing missing problems during printing, affecting the printing smoothness and pattern integrity. By providing a curved surface on the end surface of the second silver paste layer 140 along the length direction, the transition surface of the right-angle shape can be changed into a curved surface, so that the conductive paste is easier to be printed from the screen printing plate onto the back electrode surface 120, reducing the probability of printing missing problems.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 According to a further embodiment of the present invention, the second silver paste layer 140 has a set width, and the second silver paste layer 140 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 150 along the width direction, each protrusion 150 is arranged along the length direction of the second silver paste layer 140, and the outer surface of each protrusion 150 includes a curved surface.

[0062] When the end face of the second silver paste layer 140 along the width direction is set as a straight face, when the screen printing device prints the second silver paste layer 140, the problem of printing missing is also easy to occur on the straight face, affecting the printing smoothness and pattern integrity. By providing a plurality of protrusions 150 on the end face of the second silver paste layer along the width direction, and the outer surface of each protrusion 150 is provided with a curved surface, the end face of the straight edge can be changed into an end face composed of a plurality of alternating undulating curved surfaces, which is more conducive to the printing of the screen printing device, so that the conductive paste is easier to be printed from the screen printing plate to the back electrode surface 120, reducing the probability of the occurrence of the printing missing problem. In addition, when the maximum width and maximum length of the back electrode 130 remain unchanged, the printing shape of the second silver paste layer 140 of this embodiment can reduce the consumption of the conductive silver paste, thereby saving the production cost of the solar cell 100, and because the second silver paste layer 140 has a high conductivity, the contact conductivity between the second silver paste layer 140 and the aluminum back field 200 can also be guaranteed.

[0063] Reference Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second silver paste layer 140 has a set thickness, the thickness of the aluminum back field 200 is greater than the thickness of the second silver paste layer 140, and the aluminum back field 200 covers at least a portion of the outer surface of the second silver paste layer 140 along the thickness direction.

[0064] By setting the thickness of the aluminum back field 200 to be greater than the thickness of the second silver paste layer 140, the aluminum back field 200 can wrap the second silver paste layer 140 in the thickness direction, thereby increasing the contact area between the aluminum back field 200 and the second silver paste layer 140, thereby improving the contact conductivity between the aluminum back field 200 and the second silver paste layer 140, and improving the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0065] Reference Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of back electrodes 130 are provided, and each back electrode 130 is evenly arranged on the back electrode surface 120 .

[0066] The current collection effect of a single back electrode 130 on the solar cell panel is limited. By setting multiple back electrodes 130 and evenly arranging them on the back surface 120, the radiation collection area of ​​a single electrode can be effectively utilized to evenly collect the current in each area of ​​the solar cell 100, thereby improving the power generation stability and energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first silver paste layer 160 has a set width, and the width of the first silver paste layer 160 is greater than or equal to 0.9 mm.

[0068] Specifically, the width of the first silver paste layer 160 can be set to a value greater than or equal to 0.9 mm, such as 0.9 mm, 1 mm or 1.1 mm. Since the first silver paste layer 160 is used for welding with the soldering strip, the first silver paste layer 160 needs to have a certain width to ensure the welding effect with the soldering strip. When the width of the first silver paste layer 160 is greater than or equal to 0.9 mm, it can reduce the occurrence of poor welding problems such as cold welding and false welding between the first silver paste layer 160 and the soldering strip, and ensure that the first silver paste layer 160 and the soldering strip have sufficient welding area to ensure sufficient peeling strength between the first silver paste layer 160 and the soldering strip, and reduce the probability of the soldering strip peeling off the first silver paste layer 160.

[0069] Reference Figure 5 According to the method for preparing the solar cell 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the method for preparing the solar cell 100 of the embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0070] S100, preparing a silicon wafer 110, and setting a positive electrode surface and a back electrode surface 120;

[0071] S200, preparing a first silver paste, a second silver paste, a front silver electrode paste and an aluminum back field paste;

[0076] S700 , performing a sintering operation to complete the preparation of the solar cell 100 .

[0077] The preparation method of the solar cell 100 of the present embodiment prepares the conductive silver paste into a first silver paste and a second silver paste respectively, and prints and solidifies the first silver paste and the second silver paste respectively on the back electrode surface 120, thereby forming a back electrode 130 composed of a first silver paste layer 160 and a second silver paste layer 140. The back electrode 130 composed of the first silver paste layer 160 and the second silver paste layer 140 can improve the conductive contact between the back electrode 130 and the aluminum back surface 200 while ensuring the welding strength between the back electrode 130 and the welding strip, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

[0078] Specifically, the temperature of the drying operation can be set between 150° C. and 180° C., which can take into account the drying efficiency while reducing the probability of the first silver paste layer 160 and / or the second silver paste layer 140 falling off the back surface 120 due to over-baking.

[0079] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to the screen printing device of the embodiment of the present invention, the method for preparing the solar cell 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is used, and the screen printing device includes a first screen plate 300 and a second screen plate 400. The first screen plate 300 includes a first printing area 310, the first silver paste layer 160 has a set thickness, and the shape of the first printing area 310 is adapted to the shape of the first silver paste layer 160 along the thickness direction. The second screen plate 400 includes a second printing area 420, the second silver paste layer 140 has a set thickness, and the shape of the second printing area 420 is adapted to the shape of the second silver paste layer 140 along the thickness direction. The second screen plate 400 is also provided with a shielding part 430, and the shielding part 430 is provided in the second printing area 420, and the shape of the shielding part 430 is adapted to the shape of the first silver paste layer 160 along the thickness direction. By applying the first screen plate 300 and the second screen plate 400 of this embodiment, the back electrode 130 of the solar cell 100 of the embodiment of the present invention can be printed.

[0080] Specifically, the printer of the screen printing device uses a conventional screen printing machine in the art. The first printing area 310 and the second printing area 420 are areas with printing channels on the screen, and the conductive silver paste can be printed onto the back electrode surface 120 through the printing channels.

Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
