Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic cells, specifically relating to a conductive silver paste and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic silver paste is widely used in the screen printing process of photovoltaic cells. The grid lines prepared are crucial for electron collection in the cells, subsequent solder ribbon connection, and module reliability. However, silver is prone to electromigration (ECM) in the presence of electric fields and moisture. On the one hand, the continuously generated hydroxide increases the grid line resistance or contact resistance, leading to power loss; on the other hand, electromigration can also cause grid line damage or the formation of bypasses between unconnected conductors, resulting in decreased insulation or even short circuits, ultimately leading to module failure or even fire.

[0003] Currently, methods for addressing silver ECM include adding fluorine-containing materials, adding mixed powders, alloy powders, or compound powders of copper, tin, and manganese, and adding corrosion inhibitors commonly used for metal oxidation resistance. Fluorine-containing materials have excellent weather resistance but are water- and oil-repellent, which is detrimental to adhesion with EVA (Electrode Vapor Adhesive) solar encapsulation films. Mixed powders, alloy powders, or compound powders of copper, tin, and manganese may interact, such as forming intermetallic compounds, leading to performance instability. Corrosion inhibitors typically contain organic groups with strong coordination capabilities. These organic groups can form a dense protective film on the Ag surface, preventing the diffusion and transport of silver ions generated by Ag oxidation into the electrolyte. However, corrosion inhibitors have poor weather resistance; the organic groups are prone to decomposition and failure under sintering, curing, and light exposure, making it difficult to meet the long-term reliability requirements of photovoltaic modules.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a conductive silver paste with stability, long-term reliability, excellent conductivity, and resistance to silver migration. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention optimizes the formulation of photovoltaic silver paste by using inorganic additives as silver ion diffusion inhibitors. Under electric field and humid conditions, the dissolved silver ions form insoluble precipitates, which act as physical barriers to prevent the diffusion and transport of silver ions, suppress silver electromigration, and increase the long-term reliability of the module. Furthermore, by precisely controlling the amount of inorganic ion diffusion inhibitors added, optimal conductivity and anti-migration performance can be achieved.

[0028] During long-term use, moisture can penetrate the grid lines of photovoltaic modules, forming an electrolyte containing dissolved ion diffusion inhibitors. In the presence of this electrolyte and an electric field, adjacent silver particles act as the cathode and anode, respectively, undergoing an electrochemical reaction. For example... Figure 1 As shown, during long-term use, moisture can penetrate the grid lines of photovoltaic modules, forming an electrolyte containing dissolved ion diffusion inhibitors.

[0098] Test case

[0099] (1) Silver paste stability test

[0100] According to GB / T 17473.5, the test temperature was set to (25±0.5)℃, the rotation speed was adjusted to 10 r / min, and the initial viscosity V0 was read after 30s. Each sample was measured 3 times and the average value was taken. After the slurry was stored for 3 months, the viscosity V was measured under the same conditions. The viscosity change rate RoC was examined as (V-V0) / V0×100%. The smaller the RoC, the better the long-term stability of the slurry. The stability test results of the silver paste in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 1.

[0101] (2) Grid line resistance test

[0102] The paste was printed onto the solar cell, with a grid line width of 40 μm, and cured at 190℃ for 30 min. The length L of the grid line section was measured using a ruler, and the resistance R of the grid line section was measured using a multimeter with an accuracy of 0.1 mΩ. The grid line resistance R was then examined. L =R / L, where 3 grid lines are measured for each sample and the average value is taken. R L The smaller the value, the better the grid line conductivity. The grid line resistance test results for Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 1.

[0103] (3) Anti-silver electromigration test

[0104] like Figure 2As shown, the paste was printed onto the battery cell to obtain paste sheets with dimensions of 10mm × 10mm × 10μm and a spacing of 2mm. The curing conditions were 190℃ for 30 minutes. After curing, a pair of paste sheets were cut as a whole, and 200μL of deionized water was dropped between the sheets. The VI curve under a 2V bias voltage was measured using a potentiostat. The time t until the current value reached 0.1mA was examined. Each sample was measured three times and the average value was taken. The larger the t, the better the silver electromigration resistance. The test results of silver electromigration resistance of Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 1.
