[0002] The xBC cell (Interdigitated Back Contact Solar Cell) is a high-efficiency solar cell. Its core feature is that both the positive and negative electrodes are placed on the back of the cell, thus avoiding the front electrode from blocking the light and significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. The xBC cell has broad application prospects in the photovoltaic field due to its high efficiency, low light decay and good temperature coefficient.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] Unless otherwise specified, various raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in this application can be purchased from the market or prepared by existing methods.
[0035] In a first aspect, the present application provides a conductive paste for an xBC battery, which is composed of the following components, measured in parts by mass: 50 to 80 parts of silver powder, 5 to 25 parts of silver-coated tungsten, 1.5 to 5.5 parts of glass material, 10 to 15 parts of organic carrier, and 0.5 to 2 parts of additives; wherein the silver powder is composed of chain silver powder, dendritic silver powder, hollow spherical silver powder, micro-nano mesh silver powder, micron-sized spherical silver powder, nano-sized spherical silver powder and flaky silver powder.
[0036] Silver powder (50-80 parts): As the main conductive phase of the conductive paste, the morphology and particle size distribution of silver powder directly affect the construction of the conductive network. Through the synergistic effect of silver powders with various morphologies and particle sizes, a complex and dense conductive network is formed, which significantly reduces the contact resistance and body resistance, while improving the mechanical properties and process performance of the paste.
[0037] Silver-coated tungsten (5-25 parts): Silver-coated tungsten is a core-shell structure material with an outer layer of silver (high conductivity) and an inner layer of tungsten (high melting point, high mechanical strength). During the sintering process, the silver layer forms a good conductive connection with the silver powder, while the tungsten core provides high temperature stability and mechanical support. At the same time, the silver-coated tungsten and silver powder work synergistically to further reduce resistance. In addition, tungsten, as a base metal, is much more expensive than silver. Therefore, using silver-coated tungsten to replace part of the silver powder in conductive photovoltaic slurries can significantly reduce material costs.
[0038] Glass material (1.5-5.5 parts): Glass material can improve the interface contact during sintering and reduce the contact resistance. At the same time, it can improve the high temperature stability and mechanical strength of the slurry. In addition, it can adjust the thermal expansion coefficient and reduce the interface defects caused by thermal stress.
[0039] Organic carrier (10-15 parts): Organic carrier can optimize the rheological properties of the slurry, making it suitable for screen printing or coating processes. At the same time, it can improve the wettability of the slurry to the substrate and improve the printing or coating effect. In addition, it can promote the complete volatilization of the organic carrier during the sintering process to avoid the influence of residues on the conductive properties.
[0040] Additives (0.5-2 parts): Additives are used to improve the dispersibility, rheology and antioxidant properties of the slurry.
[0041] In some embodiments, the mass m1 of the chain silver powder, the mass m2 of the dendritic silver powder, the mass m3 of the hollow spherical silver powder, the mass m4 of the micro-nano mesh silver powder, the mass m5 of the micron-sized spherical silver powder, the mass m6 of the nano-sized spherical silver powder and the mass m7 of the flaky silver powder satisfy the following relationship:
[0042] m1:m2:m3:m4:m5:m6:m7=(10~20):(10~20):(5~10):(10~15):(20~30):(10~15):(5~10).
[0043] In some embodiments, the diameter of the chain-like silver powder is 0.1 to 1 μm, and the length is 5 to 20 μm; and / or,

[0046] The mesh size of the micro-nano mesh silver powder is 0.5-2 μm, and the wire diameter is 0.1-0.5 μm; and / or,
[0047] The particle size of the micron-sized spherical silver powder is 1 to 10 μm; and / or,
[0048] The particle size of the nano-scale spherical silver powder is 20 to 100 nm; and / or,
[0049] The flaky silver powder has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 μm and a diameter of 1 to 5 μm.
[0050] It should be noted that silver powders of different morphologies play different roles in the conductive network, as follows:
[0051] Chain-shaped silver powder: has a high aspect ratio and can form a long-range conductive path, significantly reducing contact resistance.
[0052] Dendritic silver powder: has a multi-branch structure, which increases the contact points of the conductive network and reduces the body resistance.
[0053] Hollow spherical silver powder: The low density property improves the rheological properties of the slurry. At the same time, its hollow structure can release internal stress and reduce shrinkage deformation during the sintering process.
[0054] Micro-nano mesh silver powder: has a high specific surface area and a complex mesh structure, providing more conductive pathways and enhancing conductive properties.
[0055] Micron-sized spherical silver powder: As the main filler, it provides basic conductive properties and mechanical strength.

[0059] It should be noted that lead borosilicate glass (PbO-B2O3-SiO2 system) is a typical low-melting glass with good wettability, fluidity and low softening temperature, and is suitable for low-temperature sintering process. In terms of mass fraction, lead borosilicate glass is composed of the following chemical components: PbO: 60%, B2O3: 15%, SiO2: 20%, Al2O3: 3%, Na2O: 2%.

[0061] The glass material softens during the sintering process, and the various components play the following roles:
[0062] Lead borosilicate glass (low melting point): softens at low temperatures, promotes the interface contact between silver powder and substrate, and reduces contact resistance.
[0063] Aluminosilicate glass (high melting point): Remains stable at high temperatures, preventing excessive flow or deformation during sintering.
[0064] Bismuth oxide and zinc oxide: adjust the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass powder to match that of the silver powder and substrate, reducing thermal stress.
[0065] Nano-silicon dioxide: Improve the dispersibility and interface contact effect of glass powder.
[0066] In some embodiments, the organic carrier is composed of the following chemical components by mass fraction: 40-60% terpineol, 20-30% ethyl acetate, 1-5% polyether modified siloxane, 10-20% polyvinyl butyral, 1-10% epoxy resin, and 1-10% acrylic resin.
[0067] The organic carrier provides rheological, wettability and drying properties of the slurry, and its composition is designed as follows:
[0068] Terpineol (high boiling point solvent): provides good rheological properties, suitable for printing process.
[0069] Ethyl acetate (low boiling point solvent): speeds up the drying of the slurry and reduces printing defects.

[0078] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for preparing a conductive paste for xBC batteries provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0079] like Figure 1 As shown, in a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a conductive paste for an xBC battery according to any one embodiment of the first aspect, the method comprising:
[0080] S1, pre-treating chain silver powder, dendritic silver powder, hollow spherical silver powder, micro-nano mesh silver powder, micron-sized spherical silver powder, nano-sized spherical silver powder and flake silver powder respectively, and then mixing with part of the organic carrier to obtain mixed silver powder;
[0081] S2, mixing the mixed silver powder, silver-coated tungsten, glass material, the remaining part of the organic carrier and additives to obtain a mixed slurry;
[0082] S3. Under an inert atmosphere, subjecting the mixed slurry to a microwave-ultrasound combined treatment to obtain the conductive slurry.
[0083] In some embodiments, the microwave-ultrasound combined treatment includes the following parameters: microwave power is 100-200 W, ultrasonic power is 200-300 W, and treatment time is 10s-40s.
[0084] Silver particles and glass powder in silver paste can form agglomerates during the preparation process, which will affect the dispersion and conductivity of silver paste. Microwave-ultrasound combined treatment can produce strong vibration and impact, effectively destroying these agglomerate structures and making silver particles and glass powder more evenly dispersed in the organic carrier.
[0085] The penetrating and heating properties of microwaves can rapidly heat up the interior of the blend, accelerating the thermal motion between molecules, thereby promoting the dispersion of silver particles and glass powder in the organic carrier. At the same time, the cavitation effect and micro-jet action of ultrasound can produce a strong stirring effect on a microscopic scale, further promoting the mixing and uniform distribution of the components.
[0086] Therefore, the present application can efficiently disperse silver powder and glass powder through the synergistic effect of microwave and ultrasound, and promote the uniform mixing of organic carrier and solid particles. Microwave heating can quickly soften the organic carrier and improve the mixing efficiency. Ultrasonic cavitation can break up the agglomeration of silver powder and improve the uniformity of dispersion. In an inert atmosphere (such as nitrogen), oxidation of silver powder can be prevented.
[0087] In some embodiments, the pretreatment of the chain silver powder, the dendritic silver powder, the hollow spherical silver powder, the micro-nano mesh silver powder, the micron-sized spherical silver powder, the nano-sized spherical silver powder and the flaky silver powder comprises:
[0088] The chain-shaped silver powder and the dendrite-shaped silver powder are mixed with a silane coupling agent to form a coating layer on the surface of the chain-shaped silver powder and the dendrite-shaped silver powder;
[0089] The hollow spherical silver powder and the flake silver powder are subjected to plasma treatment to introduce functional groups on the surfaces of the hollow spherical silver powder and the flake silver powder;
[0090] The micro-nano mesh silver powder, nano-scale spherical silver powder and micron-scale spherical silver powder are subjected to surface passivation treatment to form a nano-scale silver oxide protective layer on the surface of the micro-nano mesh silver powder, nano-scale spherical silver powder and micron-scale spherical silver powder.
[0091] It should be noted that plasma treatment is a surface modification technology that bombards the material surface with high-energy particles (such as electrons, ions, and free radicals) to introduce functional groups (such as carboxyl, amino, and hydroxyl groups), thereby improving the surface activity and interfacial bonding strength of the material.
[0092] Surface passivation treatment is to form a dense protective layer (such as a silver oxide layer) on the surface of the silver powder to prevent the silver powder from oxidizing during the storage and use of the slurry, while improving its chemical stability.
[0093] In some embodiments, the plasma treatment includes the following parameters: power of 50-100 W, treatment time of 10-20 min, and oxygen flow rate of 30-80 mL / min.
[0094] In some embodiments, the surface passivation treatment uses hydrogen peroxide with a concentration of 1 to 10 wt %, a treatment temperature of 20 to 60° C., and a treatment time of 10 to 60 min.
[0095] In the present application, the dispersibility, chemical stability and interface bonding strength of the silver powder are improved by surface modification treatment.
[0096] Surface coating treatment of chain-like silver powder and dendritic silver powder: Silane coupling agent forms an organic coating layer on the surface of silver powder to reduce surface energy and reduce agglomeration.
[0097] Plasma treatment of hollow spherical silver powder and flake silver powder: introducing functional groups such as carboxyl and amino groups on the surface of silver powder to enhance compatibility with organic carriers.
[0098] Surface passivation treatment of micro-nano mesh silver powder, nano-scale spherical silver powder and micron-scale spherical silver powder: forming a nano-scale silver oxide protective layer to prevent oxidation.
[0099] In a third aspect, the present application provides an xBC battery P region electrode, which is prepared using the conductive paste for xBC battery described in any one of the first aspects, and the electrode structure includes a highly conductive bottom layer, an intermediate layer and a protective layer.
[0100] Electrode structure design:
[0101] Through the multi-layer structure design, the contact resistance and body resistance are further reduced. The high-conductivity bottom layer uses a high-silver content paste to provide high conductivity and reduce contact resistance. The middle layer can use this patented conductive paste to form a complex and dense conductive network to reduce body resistance. The protective layer can use a low-silver content paste to provide surface protection to prevent oxidation of the electrode surface.
[0102] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides an xBC battery, characterized in that it includes a P-region electrode according to the third aspect.
[0103] The P-zone electrode is a key component responsible for collecting holes in xBC batteries, and its performance directly affects the battery's fill factor and conversion efficiency. The P-zone electrode prepared by this patented conductive paste has low contact resistance and body resistance, as well as high mechanical strength and anti-oxidation properties.
