Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a paste and a battery for double-sided poly solar cells. Background Art
[0002] Double-sided Poly technology, also known as double-sided polysilicon technology, uses a poly layer on the front side of the cell to further reduce the carrier recombination rate on the cell surface and reduce contact resistance, thereby further improving cell efficiency. The core of double-sided Poly technology lies in the use of polycrystalline silicon. Polycrystalline silicon has long been one of the main materials for photovoltaic cells due to its high photoelectric conversion efficiency and low production cost.
[0003] Generally speaking, sintering is the process of heating powder or powder compact to a temperature below the melting point of its constituents, followed by cooling to room temperature using a specific method and speed. The sintering process for solar cells is similar, being closely linked to the screen printing process. The quality of sintering directly impacts the quality of screen printing. The sintering process primarily ensures that the screen-printed positive and negative electrodes form a good ohmic contact with the silicon wafer at high temperatures, thereby improving the solar cell's open-circuit voltage and fill factor. It also provides good passivation for the solar cell, boosting its conversion efficiency. Bifacial poly (polyethylene) solar cells also have a poly (polyethylene) layer on the front side, which serves as a passivation layer. However, during current sintering of the front side of bifacial poly (polyethylene) solar cells, glass frit deeply etches the front side, severely damaging the poly layer and rendering the passivation layer ineffective. Furthermore, the front and back sides of bifacial poly (polyethylene) solar cells have different structures, so using the same silver paste for sintering cannot achieve the desired effect on both sides.
[0004] In order to solve the problem of excessive damage to the poly layer during the sintering process of double-sided poly solar cells while ensuring good contact effects, the present application provides a slurry and a cell for double-sided poly solar cells. Summary of the Invention

The embodiments described in the following embodiments are not intended to represent all possible implementations consistent with the present application.

[0026] To address the issue of excessive damage to the poly layer during the sintering process of bifacial poly solar cells while ensuring good contact, this application provides a slurry for bifacial poly solar cells, comprising a conductive slurry for the front fine grid and a conductive slurry for the back fine grid. The slurry provided in this application can be specifically used in bifacial poly solar cells, with the front and back of the cell sintered using different slurries.
[0027] The structure of double-sided poly solar cells, such as Figure 1 As shown, both sides of the silicon substrate are designed with poly layers. Starting from the silicon substrate layer, the front structure is SiO2 layer, Poly layer and SiN X Layer (front passivation layer), the back structure is SiO2 layer, Poly layer Al2O3 layer and SiN X layer.
[0028] In some embodiments, the conductive paste for the front fine grid includes a front conductive phase, a front glass frit, a front organic phase, and a front additive.

[0030] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of silver powder in the conductive paste of the front fine grid is 88%-90.5%, the mass fraction of the front organic phase is 5%-10%, and the mass fraction of the front additive is 0.1%-0.5%.
[0031] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the first front glass powder in the conductive paste of the front fine grid is 0.3%-0.5%, the mass fraction of the second front glass powder is 1.2%-2.0%, the mass fraction of the third front glass powder is 0.2%-0.5%, and the mass fraction of the fourth front glass powder is 0.2%-0.4%.
[0032] Glass powder is a crucial additive in conductive pastes, primarily enhancing the adhesion and conductivity of the silver paste. It also improves the fluidity of the silver paste, promoting its even distribution across the cell surface, thereby increasing the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of solar cells. Despite its low content, glass powder plays a crucial role in the paste, corroding the silicon nitride layer, forming the electrode, and bridging the electron transport process. Glass powder requires careful balancing and adjustment under varying conditions, performing crucial functions such as bonding the silver powder, lowering the sintering temperature, corroding the anti-reflective layer on the silicon substrate, and forming an ohmic contact.
[0033] In some embodiments, based on the total molar percentage content of the first front glass powder as 100%, the first front glass powder includes 30% to 50% Pb, 10% to 20% Si, 5% to 30% B, 1% to 10% Al, and 5% to 20% Zn; based on the total molar percentage content of the second front glass powder as 100%, the second front glass powder includes 1% to 10% P, 20% to 30% Pb, 10% to 20% Si, 10% to 25% B, 5% to 20% Bi, 5% to 15 %Al, 5%~20%Ca; based on the total molar percentage content of the third front glass powder as 100%, the third front glass powder includes 25%~45%Si, 10%~30%B, 10%~20%Ca, 5%~15%Ba, and 5%~15%Zn; based on the total molar percentage content of the fourth front glass powder as 100%, the fourth front glass powder includes 30%~45%Bi, 1%~15Cu, 5%~15%Pb, 10%~30%Si, and 5%~20%B.
[0034] In some embodiments, the glass transition temperature of the first front glass powder is 320-350°C, the glass transition temperature of the second front glass powder is 350-380°C, the glass transition temperature of the third front glass powder is 380-420°C, and the glass transition temperature of the fourth front glass powder is 420-480°C.
[0035] First, the lead content in the front glass powder is high, resulting in strong etching ability and good etching results. It mainly etches the silicon nitride and aluminum oxide passivation layers. The amount added should not be too much, as too much can easily damage the Poly layer, resulting in a loss of opening voltage. Second, the lead content in the front glass powder is low, with a transition temperature of 350-380°C. Due to the addition of the P element, it can soften better during sintering and has better fluidity, which can promote the uniform distribution of the glass powder, thereby driving a better uniform distribution of the silver powder. Its large addition amount plays a role in assisting in etching the passivation layer. At the same time, its etching ability has little damage to the Poly layer, which can protect the Poly layer to a certain extent. Third, some elements that can dissolve oxygen on the silver surface are added to the front glass powder, which can better dissolve silver and improve the contact between silver and silicon wafers. The transition temperature of the fourth front glass powder is higher than that of other glass powders, which can promote sintering. The fourth front glass powder melts later and leaves more residue in the silver. The glass powder will shrink during sintering, which will shrink and densify the silver, reducing the holes in the silver grid and increasing the density, thereby reducing the line resistance, reducing electron transmission loss, and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0036] In some embodiments, based on the total molar percentage content of the first back glass powder as 100%, the first back glass powder includes 20% to 40% Te, 20% to 40% Pb, 10% to 20% Si, 5% to 20% B, 1% to 10% Al, and 5% to 15% Zn; based on the total molar percentage content of the second back glass powder as 100%, the second back glass powder includes 10% to 30% Te, 15% to 30% Pb, 10% to 20% Si, 5% to 20% B, 5% to 15% Bi, and 5% to 15% Ca, 1% to 5% W, 1% to 5% Mn; based on the total molar percentage content of the third back glass powder as 100%, the third back glass powder includes 25% to 45% Si, 10% to 30% B, 10% to 20% Ca, 5% to 15% Ba, and 5% to 15% Zn; based on the total molar percentage content of the fourth back glass powder as 100%, the fourth back glass powder includes 30% to 45% Bi, 1% to 15% Cu, 5% to 15% Pb, 10% to 30% Si, and 5% to 20% B.
[0037] In some embodiments, the glass transition temperature of the first back glass powder is 320-350°C, the glass transition temperature of the second back glass powder is 350-380°C, the glass transition temperature of the third back glass powder is 380-420°C, and the glass transition temperature of the fourth back glass powder is 420-480°C.
[0038] First, the backside glass powder has high tellurium and lead content, resulting in strong etching ability and excellent etching results. It primarily etches the silicon nitride and aluminum oxide passivation layers. Excessive addition should be avoided, as this can easily damage the poly layer, leading to a loss in opening voltage. Second, the backside glass powder has low tellurium and lead content, and the use of lead and bismuth in combination reduces damage to the poly layer. Its transition temperature is 350-380°C. The addition of W and Mn enhances softening and fluidity during sintering, promoting uniform distribution of the glass powder and, in turn, silver powder. Its high addition aids in etching the passivation layer, while its etching ability minimizes damage to the poly layer, providing some protection. Third, the backside glass powder incorporates elements that dissolve oxygen on the silver surface, enhancing silver dissolution and ensuring better contact between the silver and the silicon wafer. The glass transition temperature of the fourth back glass powder is higher than that of other glass powders, which can promote sintering. In addition, the fourth glass powder melts later and leaves more residue in the silver. The glass powder will shrink during sintering, which will shrink and densify the silver, reducing the holes in the silver grid and increasing the density, thereby reducing the line resistance, reducing electron transmission loss, and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0039] In some embodiments, the mass fraction of the first back glass powder in the conductive paste of the back fine grid is 0.3%-0.5%, the mass fraction of the second back glass powder is 1.2%-2.0%, the mass fraction of the third back glass powder is 0.2%-0.5%, and the mass fraction of the fourth back glass powder is 0.2%-0.4%.
[0040] In some embodiments, the front additive includes ZnAl4 alloy powder, and the front organic phase includes resin, organic solvent, and organic additive.
[0041] In some embodiments, the conductive paste for the back fine grid further includes a back conductive phase, a back organic phase, and a back additive.

The conductive paste for the back fine grid has a silver powder mass fraction of 88% to 90.5%, a back organic phase mass fraction of 5% to 10%, and a back additive mass fraction of 0.1% to 0.5%.
[0042] In some embodiments, the front conductive phase and the back conductive phase comprise aluminum powder.
[0043] In some embodiments, the resin in the front conductive paste and the back conductive paste is one or more of a linear triblock copolymer, polyvinyl butyral ester or cellulose acetate butyrate; the organic solvent is one or more of butyl ether, methyl ester or acetate; and the organic additive is one or both of stearate or silicone oil.

[0091] Figure 2 This is an electron microscope image of a battery prepared with silver paste according to Example 1 of this application. The pyramid morphology is basically intact, and the shiny edges of the pyramids indicate good contact. AgSi ions diffuse into each other to form good ohmic contact.

Figure 3 The pyramids on the surface of the battery shown are severely etched, the peak shape has been destroyed, the AgSi contact interface has less mutual diffusion, and the contact is poor.
[0092] The present application provides a paste for a double-sided poly solar cell, including a conductive paste for the front fine grid and a conductive paste for the back fine grid, which are respectively used as the sintering raw materials for the front passivation layer and the back passivation layer of the double-sided poly solar cell. The conductive paste for the front fine grid and the conductive paste for the back fine grid each contain four types of glass powder.
[0093] The four types of glass powder in the front conductive paste play different roles. The etching effect of the paste can be adjusted, which not only ensures good contact effect, but also causes less damage to the front poly layer, thus protecting the passivation effect of the front poly layer. The four types of glass powder in the back paste can etch the silicon nitride and aluminum oxide on the back of the battery, while ensuring good contact effect, avoiding excessive damage to the poly layer, ensuring the passivation ability of the battery, and further improving the battery efficiency. The paste provided in this application solves the problem of excessive damage to the poly layer during the sintering process of double-sided poly solar cells while ensuring good contact effect.
[0094] The present application also provides a double-sided poly solar cell, and the slurry provided in the present application is used to sinter the front and back sides of the cell respectively.
