Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of photovoltaic cell electrode materials, and relates to a glass powder silver paste suitable for a laser grooving TOPCon cell and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] TOPCon cells (tunnel oxide passivated contact cells) are widely used in high-efficiency cell routes due to their excellent passivation contact structure, but in the process of module interconnection and metallization, in order to obtain lower series resistance and higher current collection capability, the surface passivation layer often needs to be broken or weakened in local areas by means of laser grooving and the like to form a window suitable for electrode penetration. Laser grooving can introduce microstructures, recast layers and defect-rich zones on the silicon surface, and expose more active silicon matrix or thin oxide layer interfaces, so that the wetting, reaction and diffusion behaviors in the subsequent silver paste printing and sintering processes are significantly different from those in the ungrooved areas.
[0003] The existing glass powder silver paste for crystalline silicon cell metallization mainly relies on the softening flow and interfacial reaction of the glass phase during sintering to realize the cleaning of the silicon surface, the removal of residual oxides and the formation of stable electrical contact, but in the laser grooving TOPCon structure, if the reactivity and fluidity of the glass phase are not properly controlled, excessive penetration and local enrichment may occur in the groove, leading to increased corrosion, uneven contact morphology, deformed line boundaries and increased hole defects, thereby causing fluctuations in contact resistance, rising series loss and performance dispersion; on the contrary, if the glass phase is not reactive enough, it may not be fully cleaned, wetted or have poor interfacial connectivity, resulting in unstable contact and decreased reliability. At the same time, the depth variation and edge roughness caused by laser grooving also make the silver paste more prone to problems such as solvent migration, component stratification, sedimentation and mismatch between thixotropic windows during printing and drying, further amplifying the risk of defects after sintering. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a glass powder silver paste suitable for a laser grooving TOPCon cell and a preparation method and application thereof. A surface-functionalized exfoliated zirconium phosphate nanosheet slurry and a core-shell dispersion with a sol core / organic shell structure are prepared and introduced into an ethyl cellulose organic carrier system, and then matched with a customized glass powder, spherical silver powder and titanate interfacial promoter to prepare the paste. The silver paste is stable and shaped during printing and drying, and realizes the synergistic regulation of the flow and interfacial reaction of the glass phase during sintering, inhibits deep penetration and over-corrosion in the groove, and improves the consistency and reliability of the electrical contact, thereby meeting the needs of actual production.
[0005] To achieve this purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the present application is as follows:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of a glass powder silver paste suitable for a laser grooving TOPCon cell, the preparation method comprising:

[0009] S3, mixing ethyl cellulose and diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate, sequentially adding polymethyl lauryl methacrylate, mZrP-MA slurry and the dispersion to obtain an organic carrier, mixing glass powder, spherical silver powder and tetrabutyl titanate with the organic carrier to obtain a glass powder silver paste suitable for a laser grooving TOPCon cell.
[0010] Specifically comprising:
[0011] S1, mixing zirconium oxychloride octahydrate and deionized water to obtain a zirconium salt solution, heating to a first temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere, adding a phosphoric acid solution to the zirconium salt solution while stirring, then heating to a second temperature to obtain an α-ZrP precipitate slurry, centrifuging, washing and drying to obtain α-ZrP powder, mixing the α-ZrP powder, anhydrous ethanol and n-butylamine, stirring at a third temperature to obtain an intercalation slurry, shearing and dispersing the intercalation slurry to obtain a nanosheet dispersion liquid, mixing methacryloyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, second deionized water and glacial acetic acid to obtain a pre-hydrolysis solution, adding the pre-hydrolysis solution to the nanosheet dispersion liquid, stirring and reacting at a fourth temperature, centrifuging, washing and drying to obtain mZrP-MA dry powder, mixing the mZrP-MA dry powder and diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate to obtain mZrP-MA slurry;
[0012] S2, mixing diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate, tetraethyl orthosilicate, triethyl phosphate, trimethyl borate with anhydrous ethanol to obtain solution A, adding aqueous acetic acid dropwise to solution A under room temperature and continuing to stir, then sealing and aging to obtain sol-gel nucleus, mixing isododecane, Span 80 with the sol-gel nucleus and dispersing to obtain a W / O dispersion system, mixing methyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate with azobisisobutyronitrile to obtain a shell monomer liquid, adding the shell monomer liquid to the W / O dispersion system, reacting under nitrogen atmosphere at a fifth temperature to obtain a hydrocarbon phase dispersion liquid, adding diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate to the hydrocarbon phase dispersion liquid, discarding the upper layer after stirring and standing, and continuing to add diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate to the lower layer dispersion phase and stirring and standing, repeating 2-3 times to obtain a dispersion;
[0013] S3, mixing ethyl cellulose with diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate and mixing uniformly at a fifth temperature, adding poly lauryl methacrylate, mZrP-MA slurry and the dispersion in sequence after cooling to obtain an organic carrier, mixing glass powder, spherical silver powder and tetrabutyl titanate with the organic carrier, vacuum defoaming and three-roll grinding to obtain a glass powder silver paste suitable for a laser grooving TOPCon cell.
[0014] In step S1, zirconium oxychloride octahydrate exists in the form of zirconium-containing complex ions after being dissolved in water, and coordination substitution and polycondensation precipitation occur after adding phosphoric acid, the zirconium center is connected with the phosphate group through bonding to form a layered zirconium phosphate skeleton, and the layered structure is further ordered and the defect density is reduced during subsequent constant temperature aging, thereby obtaining α-type zirconium phosphate. The layered material has exchangeable proton sites between the layers, and after the addition of n-butylamine, the n-butylamine is protonated by acid-base reaction and enters the interlayer to form ion pairs and hydrogen bond networks with the interlayer acidic sites, thereby increasing the interlayer spacing and weakening the interlayer electrostatic coupling, and the nanosheets are dispersed in the form of nanosheets. Methyl methacryloyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane is hydrolyzed to generate silanol in the presence of water and acetic acid, and the silanol reacts with the surface hydroxyl groups or P-OH sites of the nanosheets to form a local silicon-oxygen network through condensation. Finally, an organic silicon layer containing a methacryloyl group is introduced on the surface of the nanosheet, which reduces the driving force for restacking of the layers on one hand, and on the other hand, the nanosheets obtain solvation and interfacial compatibility in the subsequent organic carrier.
[0015] In step S2, tetraethyl orthosilicate hydrolyzes to form silanol units after introduced into the acidic aqueous phase, followed by condensation between silanols and gradual evolution of sol-gel nuclei. Triethyl phosphate hydrolyzes to form phosphate species containing P-O bonds under acidic conditions, which can condense with silanols or embed into the silica condensation network through coordination and hydrogen bonding, resulting in the inclusion of Si-O-P structural units in the sol-gel nuclei. Trimethyl borate hydrolyzes to form boric acid / boronic acid species in the aqueous environment, which can condense with silanols and enter the sol structure as glass network modifier units. The sealing and aging stage is dominated by condensation, and the sol-gel nuclei transition from small molecular clusters to higher connectivity inorganic networks, while the surface still maintains a certain density of reactive hydroxyl sites. The sol-gel nuclei are dispersed into the isomeric hydrocarbon phase and form an oil-in-water dispersion system under the action of Span 80. After the addition of shell monomer liquid, free radical polymerization occurs under the action of initiator. Methyl methacrylate provides the polymer backbone, glycidyl methacrylate provides epoxy functional groups as subsequent interfacial reaction sites, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate provides crosslinking points to form a three-dimensional network shell.
[0016] In step S3, ethyl cellulose is dissolved in an ester solvent, and after cooling, poly(lauryl methacrylate) is added. The dispersant is compatible with the organic phase through its hydrophobic segment and interacts with the surface of inorganic particles through polar groups, thereby reducing the flocculation tendency of silver powder and glass powder in the organic phase. The mZrP-MA slurry and core-shell dispersion are added to the polymer carrier, and the mZrP-MA nanosheets form a sheet network through the solvation interaction of the surface organic silicon layer with the carrier solvent, and the core-shell particles provide additional inter-particle volume fraction effects and interfacial friction effects as discrete micro-phase fillers in the polymer solution, thereby affecting the thixotropic recovery and anti-settling behavior.
[0017] During subsequent printing, drying, and sintering processes, the organic carrier gradually volatilizes and undergoes thermal cracking, and the silver powder particles form necks at contact points and sinter to become densified; the glass powder transitions to a viscous liquid phase after reaching the softening and melting interval and migrates along the inter-particle gaps, and the liquid phase chemically interacts with the native oxide layer or the grooved exposed interface of the silicon surface, typical processes include rearrangement of the silicon-oxygen bond environment and formation of silicate / borosilicate interface layers, thereby establishing an electrical contact channel between the silver electrode and the silicon. The mZrP-MA nanosheets form a geometric barrier in the liquid phase migration path and increase the diffusion tortuosity; the core-shell dispersion relies on the cross-linked shell layer to maintain its shape during the drying stage, and the sol-gel nuclei are exposed after the shell layer thermally cracks upon heating, and the sol-gel nuclei further condense and convert to inorganic networks as the temperature rises, which enter the glass phase or are distributed near the interface, changing the structural connectivity and local fluidity of the glass phase, thereby restricting the spreading, penetration, and reaction range of the liquid phase.

[0069] Comparative Example 1
[0070] This comparative example provides a glass powder silver paste adapted for laser-grooved TOPCon cells and its preparation method. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mass of mZrP-MA paste and dispersion in S3 is 0, and lead-containing glass powder is used as a mass substitute for the glass powder. Other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0071] Comparative Example 2
[0072] This comparative example provides a glass powder silver paste adapted for laser-grooved TOPCon cells and its preparation method. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mass of mZrP-MA paste in S3 is 0, and the reduced mass of mZrP-MA paste is made up with an equal mass of diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate. Other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0073] Comparative Example 3
[0074] This comparative example provides a glass powder silver paste adapted for laser-grooved TOPCon cells and its preparation method. The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the mass of the dispersion in S3 is 0, and the reduced mass of the dispersion is made up with an equal mass of diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate. Other process parameters and operating conditions are exactly the same as in Example 1.
[0075] The complete melting temperature of glass powder was determined by differential scanning calorimetry: dried glass powder was placed in a crucible and heated according to a fixed heating program under a specified atmosphere. The heat flow curve was recorded, and the endothermic peak characteristic temperature at which the glass powder transitioned from softening to melting was taken as the complete melting temperature. The average value of parallel tests was taken.
[0076] The tunneling oxide layer corrosion depth was determined using a cross-sectional morphology and thickness comparison method: After printing and sintering the laser-grooved TOPCon sample, a cross-sectional sample was prepared from the area covered by the finger grid. The difference in tunneling oxide layer thickness before and after sintering was measured using SEM or TEM, and the average value was calculated from multiple points along the finger grid direction.
[0077] Contact resistance was determined using the transmission line method: parallel silver bars with different spacings were printed on test pieces of the same structure and sintered using the same process. The total resistance was measured using a four-probe / micro-ohmmeter and linearly fitted to calculate the contact resistance.
[0078] The open-circuit voltage and conversion efficiency of the battery were tested using an I-V test under a solar simulator: the battery cells were fixed with standardized fixtures and a temperature control platform, and the I-V curves were measured under specified irradiation and spectral matching conditions. The Voc and efficiency were obtained from the curves, and the consistency was evaluated by repeated tests.
[0079] Table 1. Test results of glass powder silver paste in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3
[0080]
[0081] As shown in Table 1, compared with Example 1, Comparative Example 1 showed a decrease in glass powder melting temperature, an increase in corrosion depth, an increase in contact resistance, an increase in open-circuit voltage, and a decrease in conversion efficiency; Comparative Example 2 showed a decrease in glass powder melting temperature, an increase in corrosion depth, an increase in contact resistance, a decrease in open-circuit voltage, and a decrease in conversion efficiency; and Comparative Example 3 showed a decrease in glass powder melting temperature, an increase in corrosion depth, an increase in contact resistance, an increase in open-circuit voltage, and a decrease in conversion efficiency.
[0082] This is because, in Comparative Example 1, the lead-containing glass powder softens earlier, and the liquid phase rapidly penetrates the groove and expands the reaction zone during the initial sintering stage, leading to excessive corrosion of the tunneling oxide layer. Simultaneously, the lack of mZrP-MA confinement and core-shell stability results in uncontrolled glass phase flow and distribution, uneven interfacial contact, increased contact resistance, and decreased Voc and efficiency. In Comparative Example 2, the removal of mZrP-MA eliminates the lamellar barrier, allowing the glass phase to penetrate deeper along the groove wall and expand the reaction range, deepening oxide layer corrosion. Although retaining the core-shell dispersion can suppress some stratification and participate in network formation during sintering, it provides insufficient constraint on liquid phase penetration, leading to increased contact resistance and decreased Voc and efficiency. In Comparative Example 3, the removal of the core-shell dispersion weakens the carrier support during the drying stage. Solvent migration and component stratification cause uneven distribution of the glass phase in the grooved area. mZrP-MA still provides some confinement, limiting the increase in corrosion, but interfacial connectivity and densification stability deteriorate, resulting in a slight increase in contact resistance and a decrease in efficiency.
[0083] Table 2. Test results of the glass powder silver paste prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 at different sintering temperatures.
[0084]
[0085] As shown in Table 2, the contact resistance, open-circuit voltage, and efficiency of Example 1 showed small changes at different sintering temperatures, indicating that it has stronger adaptability and stability to the sintering window. In contrast, the contact resistance of Comparative Example 1 deteriorated significantly with increasing temperature, and Voc and efficiency decreased simultaneously, reflecting uncontrolled glass phase reaction and infiltration, and increased interface damage. This proves that the present invention can achieve controllable contact formation over a wide temperature range.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
