Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells and relates to a double-sided electroplating device and a double-sided electroplating method and application. Background Art
[0002] As a clean energy, solar energy has received more and more attention in recent years. With the goals of carbon neutrality and carbon peak in my country, the market volume of solar cells as a green conversion solution has increased significantly, and there is greater room for development in the future. At present, the market competition is fierce and new technologies are developing rapidly. Although TOPCon batteries have gradually become the mainstream technology and occupy 70% of the N-type battery market, in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency, 0BB and BC technologies have gradually come into the sight of scientific researchers. BC can place both the PN junction and the metal contact on the back of the solar cell, so that there is no electrode blocking the front of the cell, thereby increasing the area of the cell absorbing sunlight, thereby improving the conversion efficiency and generating more electricity; in addition, the BC structure can be combined with TOPCon and HJT, and has good compatibility. In 0BB, the current transmission path in the fine grid is shorter, which further reduces the power loss; at the same time, 0BB technology removes the main grid, reduces non-silicon costs, and thus reduces the overall cost of photovoltaic cells.
[0003] In order to reduce the amount of silver used, from a process perspective, silver-coated copper paste is used to replace silver paste. This reduces the consumption of silver, but still cannot solve the problem that limited silver reserves cannot meet market demand. Copper has a similar electrical conductivity to silver and is a good candidate to replace silver.
[0004] In addition, the common copper electroplating equipment on the market adopts vertical and horizontal electroplating modes, and vertical electroplating equipment has inevitable disadvantages for BC and 0BB batteries: 1. For 0BB batteries, there is a lack of Pad points, and the conductive fixture is difficult to design. If the clamping points are too dense, the fragmentation rate will rise sharply. Conversely, the conductive effect is very poor and the copper plating effect is difficult to guarantee. 2. The design of the back grid line of the BC battery is complex, which increases the difficulty of fixture design. In addition, the BC battery has high requirements for the front appearance, and the vertical fixture will cause scratches on the front. 3. The uniformity of vertical electroplating is poor, and the copper deposition speed near the conductive clamping point is obviously too fast, resulting in an excessively thick copper layer in this area. 4. In order to ensure the electroplating effect, the vertical electroplating fixture needs to be customized according to the number of battery grid lines, which is costly and has poor adaptability.
[0005] CN116805655A discloses a method for preparing a TOPCon cell and a TOPCon cell prepared thereby. The method for preparing a TOPCon cell comprises the following steps: chemically plating nickel, sintering, removing the oxide layer, electroplating copper, and electroplating silver on a TOPCon solar cell substrate in sequence to obtain a TOPCon solar cell.
[0006] CN220934089U discloses an n-type TOPCon battery, which comprises an n-type silicon substrate, an N-side and a P-side on both side surfaces of the n-type silicon substrate; the N-side and the P-side are independently provided with wire grooves, and grid lines are provided in the wire grooves; the grid lines on the N-side comprise a silver electrode layer, and the silver electrode layer is in contact with the bottom of the wire grooves on the N-side; the grid lines on the P-side comprise a copper electrode layer and a silver-aluminum electrode layer which are stacked, and the copper electrode layer is in contact with the bottom of the wire grooves on the P-side.
[0007] Due to the different properties of the N / P surfaces of the battery cells, their tolerance to the same electroplating process is different, and the effects under the same electroplating solution are different. The preparation process of the battery described in the above scheme is cumbersome, and requires electroplating on both sides separately, and the electroplating uniformity is poor and the efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

[0181] Performance Testing:
[0182] The solar cells prepared in the embodiment and the comparative example were tested using an X-ray film thickness meter, a solar cell efficiency tester, and an electron microscope. The test results are shown in Table 1-2:

[0188] As can be seen from Table 1-2, from Examples 1-7, the uniformity of the N-side conductive layer in the solar cell prepared by the double-sided electroplating method of the present invention can reach within ±0.07μm, the uniformity of the P-side conductive layer can reach within ±0.06μm, the uniformity of the N-side metal grid line can reach within ±0.5μm, the uniformity of the P-side metal grid line can reach within ±0.6μm, and the series resistance Rs of the solar cell can reach 0.15mΩ / cm 2 Within this range, the photoelectric conversion efficiency Eta can reach above 26.30%, the short-circuit current Isc can reach above 7.96A, and the open-circuit voltage Voc can reach above 736mV.
[0189] By comparing Example 1 with Examples 4-5, it can be seen that the mass fraction of phosphorus in the N-side conductive layer of the solar cell of the present invention affects its performance. When the mass fraction of phosphorus is controlled at 1% to 5%, the performance of the solar cell is better. If the mass fraction of phosphorus is too low, the electron transmission effect is not obvious, which is close to the effect of direct Ni electroplating. If the mass fraction of phosphorus is too high, the battery contact resistance increases.
[0190] By comparing Example 1 with Examples 6-7, it can be seen that the mass fraction of the boron element in the P-side conductive layer of the solar cell of the present invention affects its performance. When the mass fraction of the boron element is controlled at 0.8% to 4%, the performance of the solar cell is better. If the mass fraction of the boron element is too low, the hole transport effect is not obvious, which is close to the effect of direct Ni electroplating. If the mass fraction of the boron element is too high, the resistivity increases, resulting in an increase in the battery contact resistance.
[0191] By comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the traditional electroplating method cannot set different conductive layers according to different doping elements, so that the conductive Rs of one side is always too high, and the thickness uniformity of the nickel layer and the copper layer is also quite different. The present invention can use different conductive layers according to different doping elements in the N / P zone to dope the conductive layer, and the contact resistance is significantly reduced.
[0192] From the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the double-sided electroplating method of the present invention causes less corrosion damage to the film layer, and the original passivation effect and short-circuit current will not be lost.
[0193] The applicant declares that the above is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention shall fall within the protection scope and disclosure scope of the present invention.
