Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. CN2023115711486, filed on November 23, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to the field of electroplating technology, specifically to a conductive tape, a conductive tape assembly, and a solar cell. Background Technology
[0003] Electroplating is a mainstream technology for forming metal grid lines on solar cells. The principle involves placing an anode in the electroplating solution and connecting it to the positive terminal of the electroplating power source. The solar cell is then immersed in the solution and connected to the negative terminal of the power source, positioned near or able to move close to the anode. This creates an electric field between the anode and the solar cell, which deposits metal cations from the electroplating solution onto the solar cell, forming the metal grid lines. The solar cell in the electroplating solution is typically connected to the negative terminal of the power source via conductive connectors, such as conductive clips, conductive leads, conductive rollers, or conductive probes. During the electroplating process, the connection points between the conductive connectors and the solar cell are electroplated, and sometimes even the entire surface of the connector immersed in the solution is electroplated. This makes it easy for the solar cell and the connector to stick together after electroplating. Separating the solar cell and connector after electroplating can easily lead to the solar cell breaking. After separation, the connector needs to be de-plated to prevent it from affecting the subsequent electroplating of the solar cell.
[0004] To address this issue, the applicant has developed a conductive tape to replace existing conductive connectors. The conductive tape and the solar cell are connected flexibly or elastically, unlike existing rigid connections, which reduces the breakage rate of the solar cell. As a consumable material, the conductive tape does not require deplating after separation from the solar cell, thus saving time in the electroplating process and improving electroplating efficiency.
[0005] However, how to improve the conductivity of conductive tape, how to protect local areas on conductive tape (such as corrosion and electroplating protection), and how to balance the conductivity and protection properties of conductive tape have become new technical problems that need to be solved.

[0127] This invention provides a conductive tape, comprising a conductive functional layer 10, which includes a conductive material layer and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive adhesive layer 12 covers all or part of the outer surface of the conductive material layer. The conductive tape also includes a surface protective layer, which does not completely cover the outer surface of the conductive functional layer 10, leaving a portion of the conductive functional layer 10 exposed for bonding and electrical connection with other conductive components. This facilitates quick connection and separation of the conductive tape from other conductive components; simultaneously, it prevents corrosion or electroplating of the area of the conductive functional layer 10 covered by the surface protective layer.
[0128] Specifically, the conductive functional layer 10 has at least a first exposed portion and a second exposed portion. A portion of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is exposed from the first exposed portion, and a portion of the conductive material layer or another portion of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is exposed from the second exposed portion. The first exposed portion and the second exposed portion are located at different positions along the length of the conductive adhesive tape. The first exposed portion is used to bond the electroplating area on the solar cell 2, and the second exposed portion is used to bond or connect other conductive components.
[0129] In some conductive tapes, the surface protective layer specifically includes a masking layer and a connecting adhesive layer. The masking layer is connected to the outer surface of the conductive functional layer 10 via the connecting adhesive layer, allowing the masking layer to adhere well to the outer surface of the conductive functional layer 10 and preventing it from easily detaching. In particular, when the surface protective layer is connected to the outer surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12, if the connecting adhesive layer is not provided and the masking layer is directly placed on the outer surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12, that is, the masking layer adheres to the conductive adhesive layer 12 through its adhesiveness, however, the adhesiveness and conductivity of the conductive adhesive layer 12 are negatively correlated. In order to balance the conductivity and adhesiveness of the conductive adhesive layer 12, the adhesiveness of the conductive adhesive layer 12 cannot be too strong. If the masking layer is directly placed on the outer surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12, the masking layer is prone to detachment during subsequent use. However, the masking layer is connected to the outer surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 via the connecting adhesive layer, which can improve the adhesion between the masking layer and the conductive adhesive layer 12, thereby reducing the risk of the masking layer detaching. In some other conductive tapes, the surface protective layer may be an insulating coating that is attached to the outer surface of the conductive functional layer 10.
[0130] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the conductive tape has a layered structure. In the conductive functional layer 10, the upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive material layer, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive material layer; the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is formed as the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10, such as... Figures 1 to 50 In the illustrated embodiment; in some other embodiments, conductive adhesive layers 12 are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the conductive material layer, such as... Figures 51 to 56 The example shown.
[0131] When the conductive tape has a layered structure, the surface protective layer includes a first protective layer 20 and / or a second protective layer 30. The first protective layer 20 is disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and the second protective layer 30 is disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. When the second protective layer 30 is disposed on the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12, the second protective layer 30 does not completely cover the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12. In this embodiment, the conductive tape achieves bonding and electrical connection with other conductive components through the exposed conductive adhesive layer 12, facilitating rapid connection and separation of the conductive tape from other conductive components. Under the protection of the first protective layer 20 and / or the second protective layer 30, corrosion or electroplating of the covered area of the conductive functional layer 10 can be avoided.
[0132] In some conductive tapes, the conductive material layer may consist only of a conductive substrate layer 11, meaning the conductive functional layer 10 consists only of a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. In other conductive tapes, the conductive material layer may include a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive coating layer 13, meaning the conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11, a conductive adhesive layer 12, and a conductive coating layer 13. The conductive coating layer 13 is applied to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, covering all or part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13.
[0133] In other embodiments of the present invention, the conductive tape is cylindrical or prismatic, the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the periphery of the conductive material layer, and the surface protective layer is a third protective layer covering the periphery of the conductive functional layer 10. This third protective layer only covers the middle section of the conductive functional layer 10, leaving both ends of the conductive functional layer 10 exposed. Figures 57 to 63 The example shown.
[0134] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. The embodiments described below are not merely one embodiment, but a collection of embodiments with similar schemes or features.
[0135] It should be noted that in this article, the terms "upper" and "lower" are defined based on the thickness direction of the conductive tape when the conductive tape has a layered structure. Figures 1 to 47 , Figures 49 to 56The directions shown; the terms "left" and "right" correspond to the length extension direction of the conductive tape, which are also... Figures 1 to 47 , Figures 49 to 57 , Figure 60 , Figure 62 , Figures 64 to 68 The left and right directions are shown above. The above orientations and positional relationships are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
[0136] Example 1
[0137] like Figures 1-7 The conductive tape shown includes a conductive functional layer 10 and a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10.
[0138] In some conductive tapes, the conductive functional layer 10 includes at least a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive substrate layer 11 forms a conductive material layer, and the upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The conductive adhesive layer 12 covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. When the conductive adhesive layer 12 only covers a part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, it may be that the conductive adhesive layer 12 only covers the lower surface of one end of the conductive substrate layer 11, or the conductive adhesive layer 12 does not cover the lower surface of the other end of the conductive substrate layer 11.
[0139] In some other conductive tapes, to improve the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, a conductive coating 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive coating 13 improves the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10.

The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 and exposes the lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11. For example, part or all of the area of the conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 forms a first exposed portion, which is adhered to the area to be electroplated on the solar cell. The exposed right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 forms a second exposed portion, which is connected to the conductive clip, so that the current used for electroplating the solar cell can flow sequentially through the conductive clip and the conductive tape to the area to be electroplated on the solar cell. The lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 is not provided with the conductive adhesive layer 12, which can prevent the lower surface of the right end of the conductive tape from adhering to the conductive clip and being unable to be separated.

[0142] The third structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10, and a first protective layer 20 is disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11, a conductive adhesive layer 12, and a conductive coating layer 13. The conductive coating layer 13 is coated on the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 and together with the conductive substrate layer 11 forms a conductive material layer, covering the entire lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the entire area of the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13.

The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13, covering the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13 and exposing the lower surface of the right end of the conductive coating layer 13. For example, the conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13 is bonded to the electroplating area on the solar cell, and the exposed right end of the conductive coating layer 13 is connected to a conductive clip, so that the current used for electroplating the solar cell can flow sequentially through the conductive clip and the conductive tape to the electroplating area on the solar cell. The lower surface of the right end of the conductive coating layer 13 is not provided with the conductive adhesive layer 12, which can prevent the lower surface of the right end of the conductive tape from sticking to the conductive clip and being unable to separate.

The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the entire area of the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13, keeping the lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 exposed. For example, the conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the lower surface of the conductive coating 13 is bonded to the electroplating area on the solar cell. The right end of the exposed conductive substrate layer 11 is connected to the conductive clip, so that the current used for electroplating the solar cell can flow sequentially through the conductive clip and the conductive tape to the electroplating area on the solar cell. The lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 is not provided with the conductive coating 13 and the conductive adhesive layer 12, which can prevent the lower surface of the right end of the conductive tape from sticking to the conductive clip and being unable to separate.

[0146] The seventh structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 7As shown, the conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 and exposes the lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11. For example, the conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 is bonded to the electroplating area on the solar cell. The exposed right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 is connected to a conductive clip, allowing the current used for electroplating the solar cell to flow sequentially through the conductive clip and the conductive adhesive tape to the electroplating area on the solar cell. The lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 is not provided with the conductive adhesive layer 12, which prevents the lower surface of the right end of the conductive adhesive tape from adhering to the conductive clip and becoming inseparable. The first protective layer 20 includes a first insulating coating 23, which completely covers the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 to prevent the conductive substrate layer 11 from being corroded or electroplated.

The conductive adhesive layer 12 covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. When the conductive adhesive layer 12 only covers a part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, it may be that the conductive adhesive layer 12 only covers the lower surface of one end of the conductive substrate layer 11, or the conductive adhesive layer 12 does not cover the lower surface of the other end of the conductive substrate layer 11.
[0150] In some other conductive tapes, to improve the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, a conductive coating 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12.

The second protective layer 30 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10, not completely covering it. The lower surface in the middle of the conductive functional layer 10 is covered, while the lower surfaces at both ends of the conductive functional layer 10 are exposed. The covered areas of the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10 are protected from corrosion or electroplating, while the exposed areas can be used for conductive connections to other conductive components. At least one of the lower surfaces at the left and right ends of the conductive functional layer 10 is formed by the lower surface of the conductive tape 12, allowing one end of the conductive tape to be adhered to the electroplating area on the solar cell.
[0152] In this embodiment, the first structure of the conductive tape is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the entire area of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The first protective layer 20 includes a first shielding layer 21 and a first connecting adhesive layer 22. The first shielding layer 21 is connected to the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 through the first connecting adhesive layer 22. The first shielding layer 21 completely covers the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 to prevent the conductive substrate layer 11 from being corroded or electroplated.

The covered area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be prevented from being corroded or electroplated, while the exposed area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components. In this embodiment, the second structure of the conductive tape is as follows... Figure 9As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers a portion of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, with the conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 and exposing the lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11. For example, a conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 forms a first exposed portion, which is used to adhere to the electroplating area on the solar cell. The exposed right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 forms a second exposed portion, which is used to connect to the conductive clip, so that the current for electroplating the solar cell can flow sequentially through the conductive clip and the conductive tape to the electroplating area on the solar cell. The lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 is not provided with a conductive adhesive layer 12, which can prevent the lower surface of the right end of the conductive tape from adhering to the conductive clip and being unable to separate. The first protective layer 20 includes a first shielding layer 21 and a first connecting adhesive layer 22.

The second shielding layer 31 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 through the second connecting adhesive layer 32. The second shielding layer 31 does not completely cover the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12. The lower surface of the left end of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is exposed and not covered. The area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 that is covered can be prevented from being corroded or electroplated. The area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 that is exposed can be used to conductively connect other conductive components.

The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11, a conductive adhesive layer 12, and a conductive coating layer 13. The conductive coating layer 13 is applied to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 and together with the conductive substrate layer 11 forms a conductive material layer, covering the entire lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 (i.e., the entire area on the lower surface). The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13, covering the entire lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13. The first protective layer 20 includes a first shielding layer 21 and a first connecting adhesive layer 22. The first shielding layer 21 is connected to the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 through the first connecting adhesive layer 22, completely covering the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 to prevent the conductive substrate layer 11 from being corroded or electroplated. The second protective layer 30 includes a second shielding layer 31 and a second connecting adhesive layer 32. The second shielding layer 31 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 through the second connecting adhesive layer 32. The second shielding layer 31 does not completely cover the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12. The lower surfaces at both ends of the conductive adhesive layer 12 are exposed and not covered, forming a first exposed portion and a second exposed portion, respectively. The covered area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be prevented from being corroded or electroplated. The exposed area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components.
[0154] The fourth structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 11As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11, a conductive adhesive layer 12, and a conductive coating layer 13. The conductive coating layer 13 is applied to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 and together with the conductive substrate layer 11 forms a conductive material layer. The conductive coating layer 13 covers the entire lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 (i.e., the entire area on the lower surface). The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13. The conductive adhesive layer 12 covers a portion of the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13 and exposes the lower surface of the right end of the conductive coating layer 13. The first protective layer 20 includes a first shielding layer 21 and a first adhesive layer 22. The first shielding layer 21 is connected to the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 through the first adhesive layer 22. The first shielding layer 21 completely covers the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 to prevent the conductive substrate layer 11 from being corroded or electroplated. The second protective layer 30 includes a second shielding layer 31 and a second adhesive layer 32. The second shielding layer 31 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 through the second adhesive layer 32. The second shielding layer 31 does not completely cover the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12; the lower surface at the left end of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is exposed and not covered. The covered area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be protected from corrosion or electroplating, while the exposed area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components.
[0155] Based on the first to fourth structures described above, alternatively, the second shielding layer 31 can be directly disposed on the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12. That is, the second shielding layer 31 adheres to the conductive adhesive layer 12 through its adhesiveness. However, the adhesiveness and conductivity of the conductive adhesive layer 12 are negatively correlated. To balance the conductivity and adhesiveness of the conductive adhesive layer 12, its adhesiveness cannot be too strong. If the second shielding layer 31 is directly disposed on the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12, it is prone to detachment during subsequent use. The second shielding layer 31 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 through the second connecting adhesive layer 32. The second connecting adhesive layer 32 can improve the adhesion between the second shielding layer 31 and the conductive adhesive layer 12, thereby reducing the risk of the second shielding layer 31 detaching. The fifth structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 12As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the entire lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The first protective layer 20 includes a first insulating coating 23, which completely covers the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 to prevent corrosion or electroplating. The second protective layer 30 includes a second insulating coating 33, which covers the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 and exposes the lower surfaces at both ends of the conductive adhesive layer 12. The covered area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is protected from corrosion or electroplating, while the exposed area can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components.
[0156] The sixth structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 13 As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 and exposes the lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11. The lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components. The first protective layer 20 includes a first insulating coating 23, which completely covers the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 to prevent the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 from being corroded or electroplated. The second protective layer 30 includes a second insulating coating 33, which covers the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 and exposes the lower surface of the left end of the conductive adhesive layer 12, while keeping the lower surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11 exposed. The area covered by the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be prevented from being corroded or electroplated, and the exposed area of the lower surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components.

Optionally, the second protective layer 30 covers the lower surface of the middle part of the conductive material layer and a portion of the lower surface of the adjacent conductive adhesive layer 12. The covered area of the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10 can be prevented from being corroded or electroplated, while the exposed area of the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components. Optionally, the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers the lower surfaces at both ends of the conductive material layer, exposing the lower surface of the middle part of the conductive material layer. The second protective layer 30 is suspended below the lower surface of the middle part of the conductive material layer, forming a hollow area 12a. The second protective layer 30 covers a portion of the conductive adhesive layer 12 near the hollow area 12a. In this embodiment, the conductive adhesive layer 12 is not provided on the lower surface of the middle part of the conductive material layer, which can reduce the amount of conductive adhesive layer 12 used, thereby reducing the overall cost of the conductive tape.

[0210] like Figures 41-46 As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 is disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 is disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10.
[0211] In some conductive tapes, the conductive functional layer 10 includes at least a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive substrate layer 11 forms a conductive material layer. The upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the conductive adhesive layer 12 covers a portion of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. A third connecting groove 12b is provided on the conductive adhesive layer 12, penetrating the conductive adhesive layer 12, so that a portion of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 is exposed from the third connecting groove 12b. Preferably, the third connecting groove 12b is provided adjacent to one end of the conductive adhesive layer 12.
[0212] In some other conductive tapes, to improve the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, a conductive coating 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12.

For example, the conductive adhesive layer 12 may only cover the lower surface of one end of the conductive substrate layer 11, or the conductive adhesive layer 12 may not cover the lower surface of the other end of the conductive substrate layer 11.
[0223] In some other conductive tapes, to improve the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, a conductive coating 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12.

[0228] Example 10
[0229] like Figures 51-56 The conductive tape shown includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10.
[0230] The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive material layer and a conductive adhesive layer 12. In this embodiment, conductive adhesive layers 12 are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the conductive material layer. For ease of description, the conductive adhesive layers 12 provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the conductive material layer are respectively referred to as the first conductive adhesive layer and the second conductive adhesive layer.
[0231] In some conductive tapes, a conductive material layer is formed by a conductive substrate layer 11. A conductive adhesive layer 12 is provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the conductive substrate layer 11. A first conductive adhesive layer covers all or part of the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and a second conductive adhesive layer covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. For example, the first conductive adhesive layer only covers the upper surface of one end of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the second conductive adhesive layer only covers the lower surface of the corresponding end of the conductive substrate layer 11.
[0232] In other conductive tapes, to improve the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, a conductive coating 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive coating 13 enhances the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, meaning that the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive coating 13 together constitute a conductive material layer. Above the conductive substrate layer 11, the conductive coating 13 covers all or part of the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The lower surface of the first conductive adhesive layer is connected to the upper surface of the conductive coating 13, and the first conductive adhesive layer covers all or part of the upper surface of the conductive coating 13. Below the conductive substrate layer 11, the conductive coating 13 covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The upper surface of the second conductive adhesive layer is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating 13, and the second conductive adhesive layer covers all or part of the lower surface of the conductive coating 13.
[0233] The first protective layer 20 does not completely cover the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The upper surface of the middle part of the conductive functional layer 10 is covered, while the upper surfaces at both ends of the conductive functional layer 10 are exposed and not covered. The covered area of the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10 can be protected from corrosion or electroplating, while the exposed area of the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components. The second protective layer 30 does not completely cover the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The lower surface of the middle part of the conductive functional layer 10 is covered, while the lower surfaces at both ends of the conductive functional layer 10 are exposed and not covered. The covered area of the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10 can be protected from corrosion or electroplating, while the exposed area of the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10 can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components.
[0234] In specific application environments, the first and second conductive adhesive layers of a conductive tape can each bond one solar cell, meaning that one conductive tape can simultaneously bond two solar cells and electroplate both solar cells at the same time. This reduces the amount of conductive tape used as a consumable material, thereby lowering the cost of solar cell electroplating. Preferably, the solar cell is a single-sided electroplated solar cell, such as an IBC solar cell.
[0235] In this embodiment, the first structure of the conductive tape is as follows: Figure 51As shown, the conductive tape includes a conductive functional layer 10. A first protective layer 20 is disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 is disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive adhesive layer 12 is disposed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the conductive substrate layer 11. The first conductive adhesive layer covers the entire area of the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the second conductive adhesive layer covers the entire area of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11. The first protective layer 20 includes a first shielding layer 21 and a first connecting adhesive layer 22. The first shielding layer 21 is connected to the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11 through the first connecting adhesive layer 22. The first shielding layer 21 does not completely cover the upper surface of the first conductive adhesive layer. The upper surface of the middle part of the first conductive adhesive layer is covered, while the upper surfaces at both ends of the first conductive adhesive layer are exposed and not covered. The covered area of the upper surface of the first conductive adhesive layer can be prevented from being corroded or electroplated, and the exposed area of the upper surface of the first conductive adhesive layer can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components. The second protective layer 30 includes a second shielding layer 31 and a second connecting adhesive layer 32. The second shielding layer 31 is connected to the lower surface of the second conductive adhesive layer through the second connecting adhesive layer 32. The second shielding layer 31 does not completely cover the lower surface of the second conductive adhesive layer. The lower surface in the middle of the second conductive adhesive layer is covered, while the lower surfaces at both ends of the second conductive adhesive layer are exposed and not covered. The area of the lower surface of the second conductive adhesive layer that is covered can be prevented from being corroded or electroplated. The area of the lower surface of the second conductive adhesive layer that is exposed can be used to conductively connect other conductive components.
[0236] In this embodiment, the second structure of the conductive tape is as follows: Figure 52 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the first structure of the conductive tape is that the first conductive adhesive layer covers a portion of the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, specifically, the first conductive adhesive layer covers the upper surface of the left end of the conductive substrate layer 11, exposing the upper surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the second conductive adhesive layer covers the entire area of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11.

[0237] The third structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 53As shown, the main difference from the first structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is that, to improve the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, a conductive coating layer 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive coating layer 13 enhances the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10. Above the conductive substrate layer 11, the conductive coating layer 13 covers the entire area of the upper surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the lower surface of the first conductive adhesive layer is connected to the upper surface of the conductive coating layer 13, covering the entire area of the upper surface of the conductive coating layer 13. Below the conductive substrate layer 11, the conductive coating layer 13 covers the entire area of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, and the upper surface of the second conductive adhesive layer is connected to the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13, covering the entire area of the lower surface of the conductive coating layer 13.
[0238] The fourth structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 54 As shown, the difference from the second structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is that a conductive coating 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12, which improves the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10.

The first insulating coating 23 does not completely cover the upper surface of the first conductive adhesive layer; the upper surface in the middle of the first conductive adhesive layer is covered, while the upper surfaces at both ends of the first conductive adhesive layer are exposed and not covered. The covered area of the upper surface of the first conductive adhesive layer can be protected from corrosion or electroplating, and the exposed area of the upper surface of the first conductive adhesive layer can be used for conductive connection to other conductive components. The second protective layer 30 includes a second insulating coating 33, which is connected to the lower surface of the second conductive adhesive layer.

The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 located at the center of the cylinder, and a conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the outer periphery of the conductive substrate layer 11. To improve conductivity, a conductive coating layer 13 is also provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive material layer is formed by the conductive substrate layer 11, or the conductive material layer is formed by the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive coating layer 13 together.
[0243] In this embodiment, the first structure of the conductive tape is as follows: Figures 57-58 As shown, the third protective layer 70 specifically includes a third shielding layer 71 and a third adhesive layer 72. The third shielding layer 71 is bonded and covered around the conductive functional layer 10 via the third adhesive layer 72. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 located at the center of the cylinder, and a conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the periphery of the conductive substrate layer 11. Figure 59 As shown, as a modified structure, the exposed ends of the conductive functional layer 10 are flat, which facilitates the bonding of the conductive adhesive layer 12 to other conductive components.
[0244] In this embodiment, the second structure of the conductive tape is as follows: Figures 60-61As shown, the main difference from the first structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is that, in order to improve the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10, a conductive coating layer 13 is further provided between the conductive substrate layer 11 and the conductive adhesive layer 12, thereby improving the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive coating layer 13 enhances the conductivity of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes a conductive substrate layer 11 located at the center of the cylinder, a conductive coating layer 13 covering the periphery of the conductive substrate layer 11, and a conductive adhesive layer 12 covering the periphery of the conductive coating layer 13.
[0245] The third structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 62-63 As shown, the difference from the first structure of the conductive tape in this embodiment is that the third protective layer 70 specifically includes a third insulating coating 73, which is bonded and covered around the electrical functional layer 10.
[0246] In other embodiments, the conductive tape may be prismatic in shape, including a conductive functional layer 10 located at the center of the prism and a third protective layer 70 covering the outer periphery of the conductive functional layer 10; or the middle section of the conductive tape may be prismatic, and the two ends of the conductive tape may be flat. For example, the conductive tape may be triangular prism in shape, including a conductive functional layer 10 located at the center of the triangular prism and a third protective layer 70 covering the outer periphery of the conductive functional layer 10.
[0247] Example 12
[0248] like Figures 64-66 The conductive tape shown includes a conductive functional layer 10, a first protective layer 20 disposed on the upper surface of the conductive functional layer 10, and a second protective layer 30 disposed on the lower surface of the conductive functional layer 10. The conductive functional layer 10 includes at least a conductive substrate layer 11 and a conductive adhesive layer 12. The conductive substrate layer 11 constitutes a conductive material layer, and the upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 12 is connected to the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11, covering all or part of the lower surface of the conductive substrate layer 11.
[0249] The first protective layer 20 and / or the second protective layer 30 may refer to or incorporate the structures described in embodiments 1-9 above. The conductive functional layer 10 has at least two exposed portions, one for bonding the first conductive component (a first exposed portion) and the other for bonding or connecting the second conductive component (a second exposed portion). In specific application embodiments, conductive tape is used as a conductive connector in the electroplating of solar cells. The first conductive component may be a seed layer or a TCO layer on the solar cell, and the second conductive component may be a conductive clip or a conductive support.
[0250] like Figure 64As shown, the first exposed portion is the lower surface of the left end of the conductive functional layer 10, specifically the lower surface of the left end of the conductive adhesive layer 12, and the second exposed portion is the lower surface of the right end of the conductive functional layer 10, specifically the lower surface of the right end of the conductive adhesive layer 12.
[0251] like Figure 65 As shown, the first exposed portion is the lower surface of the left end of the conductive functional layer 10, specifically the lower surface of the left end of the conductive adhesive layer 12, and the second exposed portion is the upper surface of the right end of the conductive functional layer 10, specifically the upper surface of the right end of the conductive substrate layer 11.

[0253] Assuming the dimension of the first exposed portion extending along the length of the conductive tape is 'a', that is, the length of the first exposed portion is 'a', the dimension of the second exposed portion extending along the length of the conductive tape is 'b', that is, the length of the second exposed portion is 'b', and the length of the conductive tape is 'L', then the following conditions are met: 0.01L≤a<0.5L, 0.01L≤b<0.5L, 0.02L≤a+b<L; preferably, 0.05L≤a≤0.2L, 0.05L≤b≤0.4L, 0.1L≤a+b≤0.6L. The values of a and b should be moderate. If they are too large, the conductive functional layer 10 will be excessively exposed, and the first protective layer 20 and / or the second protective layer 30 will not be able to provide adequate protection. In addition, if the area of the first exposed part is too large, it will adhere too firmly to the first conductive component, and it will be easy to leave residual adhesive on the first conductive component. If they are too small, it will easily lead to poor contact. In addition, if the area of the first exposed part is too small, it will not adhere tightly to the first conductive component, and the conductive tape will easily fall off the first conductive component.

For example, the material composition of the conductive adhesive layer 12 includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive acrylic resin and a plasticizer, wherein the plasticizer can be di-n-octyl phthalate or di-n-butyl phthalate, which can improve the removability of the conductive adhesive layer 12 and reduce or avoid the risk of leaving residue during the peeling process between the conductive adhesive layer 12 and the adhered object.

Each group of conductive tape 1 is inclinedly arranged on the base film 50 and spaced apart along the length direction of the base film 50. Each group of conductive tape 1 is in a linear array.
