If D50 is less than 1.5μm, the glass activity is too high, and if D50 is greater than 2μm, the glass activity is too low.
[0041] Optionally, in one embodiment, the aluminum powder includes micron-sized spherical aluminum powder and nano-sized spherical aluminum powder, and the silver powder includes micron-sized spherical silver powder and nano-sized spherical silver powder. Specifically, the aluminum powder includes micron-sized spherical aluminum powder with a purity of 3 nines and nano-sized spherical aluminum powder with a purity of 3 nines, and the silver powder includes micron-sized spherical silver powder with a purity of 3 nines and nano-sized spherical silver powder with a purity of 3 nines.

[0046] The organic solvent includes at least four of benzyl alcohol, diethyl phthalate, terpineol, butyl carbitol, butyl carbitol acetate, tributyl citrate, Span 85 and alcohol ester 12.
[0047] The present invention also provides a method for preparing IBC battery aluminum paste, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes steps 101 to 103:
[0048] Step 101: Mixing an organic binder, nano-aluminum powder, and nano-silver powder to obtain a first mixture;

The nano-aluminum powder is nano-spherical aluminum powder with a purity of 3.9, and the nano-silver powder is nano-spherical silver powder with a purity of 3.9. The organic binder comprises a polymer resin and an organic solvent. The polymer resin is dissolved in the organic solvent, allowing the organic solvent to act as an organic binder, i.e., the slurry acts as a binder for the powders after drying.
[0052] In step 102, micron aluminum powder, micron silver powder, and glass powder containing one or more of lead, vanadium, and titanium are added to the first mixture, which is then dispersed again using a disperser and ground to obtain a powder, which is the second mixture. The micron aluminum powder is micron-grade spherical aluminum powder with a purity of 3.9, and the micron silver powder is micron-grade spherical silver powder with a purity of 3.9.
[0053] In step 103, an organic additive is added to the second mixture, and after high-speed dispersion, a high-efficiency aluminum paste for positive electrode grid lines of an IBC battery is obtained. The organic additive has a dispersing effect and specifically includes one or more of a fatty alcohol ether phosphate, an aluminate coupling agent, a silane coupling agent, a zirconium aluminate coupling agent, lauryl phosphate, Digo 655, and a BYK105 mixture.
[0054] Optionally, in the above steps, the mass ratio of the organic additive, boron powder, aluminum powder, silver powder, organic adhesive and glass powder is 0.15-0.4: 0.04-0.08: 68-75: 2-6: 17.94-22.77: 0.8-1.2.
[0055] Alternatively, in one embodiment, the glass powder comprises Bi2O3 of 20-25%, Al2O3 of 6-8%, Pb2O5 of 10-12%, ZnO of 5-29%, Sb2O5 of 15-20%, V2O5 of 5-8%, T i O2.
[0056] Optionally, the organic binder includes a high molecular polymer resin and an organic solvent;
[0057] The mass fraction of the high molecular weight polymer in the organic binder is 6 to 12%;
[0058] The mass fraction of the organic solvent in the organic binder is 88-94%.
[0059] Optionally, in the above-mentioned IBC battery aluminum paste, the high molecular weight polymer is one or more of ethyl cellulose-N20, ethyl cellulose N-50, and ethyl cellulose-N100;
[0060] The organic solvent includes at least three of benzyl alcohol, diethyl phthalate, terpineol, butyl carbitol, butyl carbitol acetate, tributyl citrate, Span 85 and alcohol ester dodecahydrate.
[0061] The present invention also provides another method for preparing IBC battery aluminum paste, wherein: Figure 2 As shown, it includes steps 201 to 202:
[0062] Step 201: Mixing an organic binder, boron powder, nano-aluminum powder, nano-silver powder, glass powder, and an organic additive to obtain a third mixture; wherein the glass powder contains lead, vanadium, and titanium elements;
[0063] Step 202: Add micron aluminum powder and micron silver powder to the third mixture, mix well, and grind to obtain aluminum paste for positive electrode grid lines of IBC batteries.
[0064] In this embodiment, an organic binder, boron powder, nano-aluminum powder, nano-silver powder, glass powder, and an organic additive are mixed, dispersed using a disperser, and then micron aluminum powder and micron silver powder are added. The mixture is dispersed again using a disperser and ground to obtain the above-mentioned IBC battery positive electrode grid line aluminum paste that does not require laser grooving.
[0065] The present invention also provides a method for preparing an IBC battery, wherein: Figure 3 As shown, it includes steps 301 to 302:

[0067] Step 302: sintering the silicon wafer with the aluminum paste printed on the first area and the silver paste printed on the second area at high temperature to produce an IBC battery.
[0068] In the embodiment of the present invention, because the glass powder contains lead, vanadium and titanium elements, after high-temperature sintering, the aluminum paste can corrode the silicon nitride film and use boron powder to increase the doping concentration of the P+ doped area, and aluminum and silicon can form a good ohmic contact. Therefore, when the above-mentioned aluminum paste is used to print to form the positive electrode grid line, there is no need to perform laser grooving, and it can be directly printed on the silicon nitride film on the surface of the P+ doped area. Then, through high-temperature sintering, the positive electrode grid line in contact with the P+ doped area can be formed, and the doping concentration of the P+ doped area can be increased. The addition of silver powder can reduce the metal composite of aluminum in the aluminum paste and reduce the contact resistivity in the aluminum fine grid, thereby improving the efficiency of the IBC battery. Therefore, the problem that the existing IBC battery aluminum paste performs laser grooving on the silicon nitride film at the P+ area before printing the positive electrode grid line is solved, which is cumbersome and costly.
[0069] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, since there is no need to laser groove the silicon nitride film on the surface of the P+ doped region, the situation in which the passivation of the P+ region is reduced and the P+ region is damaged due to the laser groove is avoided.
[0070] Optionally, the high temperature sintering temperature is 785-790°C, for example, 786°C or 788°C.
