Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a conductive paste for a TOPCon cell and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the growing global demand for clean energy, crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell technology has garnered widespread attention and rapid development. TOPCon (Tunneling Oxide Passivated Contact) cells, a common type of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell, have gradually become a mainstream technology in the solar cell market due to their high photoelectric conversion efficiency, low attenuation performance, and high cost-effectiveness in mass production. However, the production process of traditional TOPCon cells, particularly the conductive paste used in electrode preparation, has exposed numerous limitations when faced with the emerging LECO (Laser-Enhanced Contact Opening) technology.
[0003] As an advanced laser sintering technology, LECO technology works by irradiating the cell with a high-intensity laser to excite charge carriers, while applying a deflection voltage of more than 10V to generate a local current of several amperes, which promotes the mutual diffusion of silver paste and silicon, thereby significantly reducing the contact resistance between the metal and the semiconductor and improving the fill factor. During the entire sintering process, the carrier lifetime ends quickly after the laser passes, minimizing the loss of the original passivation layer. However, traditional conductive pastes are difficult to adapt to the LECO process. On the one hand, the components such as silver powder, glass powder and organic carrier in traditional pastes cannot achieve good synergistic effects with the silicon wafer surface and each other during the laser sintering process. On the other hand, the softening temperature of the traditional glass powder system does not match the LECO process. Within the laser sintering temperature range, it cannot fully react with the silicon wafer surface and silver powder, resulting in poor metal-semiconductor contact performance and affecting the electrical performance of the battery. In addition, traditional organic carriers cannot meet the slurry's requirements for rheological properties such as viscosity and thixotropy under the LECO process, resulting in reduced printing performance, incomplete printing patterns, broken lines, collapsed edges and other problems, reducing the yield and efficiency of battery preparation.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN118800497A discloses a conductive paste for LECO laser sintering, its preparation method, electrode, and solar cell. The conductive paste includes: silver powder, glass powder, organic carrier, and inorganic additive; wherein the inorganic additive is at least one of yttrium hexaboride, lanthanum hexaboride, aluminum boride, titanium boride, and zirconium diboride. By adding inorganic additives to the conductive paste, the invention can reduce the porosity of the grid line, increase the density of the grid line, effectively reduce the line resistance, improve the open circuit voltage and photoelectric conversion efficiency, and meet the requirements of the electrode material for sintering N-type TOPcon cells using LECO technology. However, the conductivity, bonding strength, printing performance and battery efficiency of the conductive paste still need to be further improved.
[0005] It can be seen that it is particularly important to develop a conductive paste for TOPCon batteries and a preparation method thereof, which has good conductivity, strong bonding with the passivation layer of the TOPCon battery, sufficient printing performance, and high battery efficiency of the TOPCon battery.
