Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a passivating agent for solar cells and application thereof, and a TopCon solar cell passivation method. Background Art

[0002] TopCon solar cells require laser cutting during the module manufacturing process. The cut cell strips are then connected to the positive and negative electrodes using solder ribbons to form a cell string. The cell string is then processed to form a battery module. The laser cutting process can cause some damage to the cells, resulting in reduced efficiency.

[0003] In existing passivation technologies, TopCon solar cells cut through laser non-destructive cutting typically utilize ALD technology to deposit an aluminum oxide film on the cut surfaces. However, ALD equipment is expensive to manufacture and maintain, and the lack of specialized gas supply at the module end prevents it from meeting cleanliness requirements. Furthermore, the ALD process is lengthy, and the high temperatures experienced during operation can affect cell efficiency to varying degrees. Consequently, existing TopCon solar cells cut through laser non-destructive cutting are susceptible to damage at the cut edges, resulting in significant cell leakage at the cut edges, impacting cell efficiency. Existing passivation technologies are also costly and complex.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a passivator for solar cells, comprising the following components: a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dispersion and metal oxide nanoparticles; the metal oxide nanoparticles include at least one of aluminum oxide nanoparticles and magnesium oxide nanoparticles. PTFE exhibits excellent passivation properties, aluminum oxide nanoparticles have excellent thermal stability, and nano-magnesium oxide exhibits strong antioxidant and corrosion inhibition capabilities. The present invention provides a passivator for solar cells by adding metal oxide nanoparticles to a PTFE dispersion, resulting in a strong passivation effect, reduced edge leakage current, and improved cell efficiency.

[0006] A second object of the present invention is to provide an application of the solar cell passivator in passivating solar cells.

[0007] A third objective of the present invention is to provide a TopCon solar cell passivation method. The TopCon solar cell passivation method comprises the following steps: applying the aforementioned solar cell passivator to the cut surfaces of the cell strips to passivate the cell strips. Passivating the cell strips with the passivator can passivate exposed dangling bonds, minimizing cutting damage, thereby reducing edge leakage current and improving cell efficiency.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a passivator for a solar cell, wherein the passivator for a solar cell comprises the following components:

[0011] Wherein, the metal oxide nanoparticles include at least one of aluminum oxide nanoparticles and magnesium oxide nanoparticles.

[0012] In the present invention, the passivation component adopts polytetrafluoroethylene dispersion. The large binding energy of CF bond in polytetrafluoroethylene makes it have good heat resistance, and the physical and chemical properties of the passivation liquid components can be maintained during the subsequent drying process. In addition, the fluorine atoms are negatively charged, which effectively shields the positive charge of the main chain carbon atoms. At the same time, the negative charge they carry can form a negative electric field on the surface of the cutting surface, preventing electrons from flowing out of the cutting edge of the battery, increasing the parallel resistance and reducing the leakage current, and playing a better passivation role. Moreover, the fluorine atoms are large in size and repel each other with the same charge, so that the molecular chain cannot be in a planar zigzag shape but in a spiral twisted shape. The complex molecular chain shape can protect the cutting surface of the battery. It can effectively adhere to maintain the adhesion strength of the passivation solution. On the other hand, the complex molecular chain shape can also better wrap the aluminum oxide nanoparticles and magnesium oxide nanoparticles, prevent the nanoparticles from agglomerating, and maintain the stability of the passivation solution; nano-aluminum oxide has excellent thermal stability, outstanding chemical inertness and excellent electrical insulation properties. While maintaining the stability of the passivation organization, it can avoid the reduction of parallel resistance caused by the component manufacturing process and maintain the battery efficiency; nano-magnesium oxide has strong antioxidant and corrosion inhibition capabilities, which can protect the passivation solution from being oxidized during the drying process. At the same time, its excellent stability can avoid damage to the passivation organization during the component manufacturing process.
