Under the premise that the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 remains unchanged, by increasing the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the connection between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is more stable and reliable, the second electrode 5 is prevented from falling off, the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 maintain good ohmic contact, the structural stability of the solar cell is improved, and the reliability of the solar cell in use is improved.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the first electrode 4 and the second electrode 5 are prepared, the slurry composition of the first electrode 4 and the second electrode 5 can be controlled, the bonding effect of the slurry used by the second electrode 5 on the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is better than the bonding effect of the slurry used by the first electrode 4 on the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2, so that the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is greater than the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2; or, the roughness of the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1 can be controlled to be greater than the roughness of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1, which can also further make the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 greater than the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2.

[0047] As some optional embodiments of the present disclosure, the ratio of the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 to the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is 1.01-2.

[0048] In the embodiment, the ratio of the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 to the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is 1.01-2, so that the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is greater than the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2, and the difference between the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 and the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is kept appropriate, the balance between the second electrode 5 and the first electrode 4 and the corresponding doped polysilicon layer is achieved, and the design of the solar cell is optimized.

[0049] As some optional embodiments of the present disclosure, the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is 4-6 N, and the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is 5-8 N. Of course, the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 and the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be set according to actual needs.

[0050] As some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electrode 4 and the second electrode 5 each include silver, glass frit and organic binder, and the sum of the silver and glass frit contents in the first electrode 4 is greater than the sum of the silver and glass frit contents in the second electrode 5.

[0051] In the embodiment, since the sum of the silver and glass frit contents in the first electrode 4 is greater than the sum of the silver and glass frit contents in the second electrode 5, the organic binder content in the second electrode 5 is greater than the organic binder content in the first electrode 4, the organic binder content in the slurry of the second electrode 5 is higher, the bonding effect of the slurry used by the second electrode 5 on the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is better than the bonding effect of the slurry used by the first electrode 4 on the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2, and the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is greater than the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2.

[0052] In the embodiment, the slurry ratio of the first electrode 4 to the second electrode 5 can be set according to actual needs, as long as the sum of the silver and glass frit contents in the first electrode 4 is greater than the sum of the silver and glass frit contents in the second electrode 5, and the organic binder content in the second electrode 5 is greater than the organic binder content in the first electrode 4. For example, the ratio of the organic binder content in the second electrode 5 to the organic binder content in the first electrode 4 can be 1.01-2.

[0053] As some embodiments of the present disclosure, the roughness of the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1 is greater than the roughness of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1.

[0054] In the embodiment, the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is in contact with the second electrode 5 away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1, and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is in contact with the first electrode 4 away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1. Thus, by increasing the roughness of the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1, the contact between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be more stable, thereby increasing the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3, and making the connection between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 more stable and reliable, and improving the stability of the battery structure.

[0055] As some optional embodiments of the present disclosure, the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is provided with a plurality of counterbores (not shown) away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1 for contacting the second electrode 5.

[0056] In the embodiment, the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is in contact with the second electrode 5 through the plurality of counterbores, which can increase the contact area between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3, and further increase the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3. The counterbores can be circular counterbores.

[0057] As some optional embodiments of the present disclosure, the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is provided with a plurality of counterbores away from the surface of the silicon substrate 1 for contacting the first electrode 4, and the distribution density of the counterbores on the surface of the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is greater than that of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2.

[0058] In the embodiment, by also providing a plurality of counterbores on the surface of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 away from the silicon substrate 1, the contact area between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 can be increased, the bonding force between the first electrode 4 and the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 can be increased, and the stability of the first electrode 4 can be improved. Moreover, the distribution density of the counterbores on the surface of the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is greater than that of the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2, so that the contact area between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is larger, the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is increased, the connection between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is more stable and reliable, and the stability of the battery structure is improved.

[0059] As some embodiments of the present disclosure, the width d1 of the first electrode 4 is less than the width d2 of the second electrode 5.

[0060] In the embodiment, since the width d1 of the first electrode 4 is less than the width d2 of the second electrode 5, it can be understood that by increasing the width of the second electrode 5, the contact area between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be larger, the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be increased, the connection between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be more stable and reliable, and the stability of the battery structure can be improved.

[0061] As some embodiments of the present disclosure, the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is less than the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3.

[0062] In the embodiment, since the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is less than the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3, by increasing the depth of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3, the contact area of the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be increased, thereby increasing the bonding force between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3, making the connection between the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 more stable and reliable, and improving the stability of the battery structure.

[0063] As some embodiments of the present disclosure, the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is 10-150 nanometers; and the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is 20-200 nanometers.

[0064] In the embodiment, the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 and the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be set according to actual needs, and the two can be equal or not equal. In some embodiments, the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is less than the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3.

[0065] In the embodiment, the depth of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 can be 10 nanometers, or 25 nanometers, or 30 nanometers, or 45 nanometers, or 58 nanometers, or 60 nanometers, or 80 nanometers, or 90 nanometers, or 100 nanometers, or 120 nanometers, or 135 nanometers, or 140 nanometers, or 146 nanometers, or 150 nanometers; and the depth of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be 20 nanometers, or 25 nanometers, or 30 nanometers, or 45 nanometers, or 58 nanometers, or 60 nanometers, or 80 nanometers, or 90 nanometers, or 100 nanometers, or 120 nanometers, or 135 nanometers, or 140 nanometers, or 146 nanometers, or 150 nanometers, or 160 nanometers, or 170 nanometers, or 180 nanometers, or 190 nanometers, or 200 nanometers.

[0066] As some embodiments of the present disclosure, the height H1 of the first electrode 4 is greater than the height H2 of the second electrode 5.

[0067] In the embodiment, the height H1 of the first electrode 4 is the distance from the surface of the silicon substrate 1 to the end of the first electrode 4 away from the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2; and the height H2 of the second electrode 5 is the distance from the surface of the silicon substrate 1 to the end of the second electrode 5 away from the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3.

[0068] In the embodiment, the height H1 of the first electrode 4 is greater than the height H2 of the second electrode 5, because the depth H1 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is less than the depth of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the ratio of the height H1 of the first electrode 4 to the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 is 10-100.

[0070] In the embodiment, the ratio of the height H1 of the first electrode 4 to the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2 can be 10, or 15, or 20, or 25, or 30, or 32, or 40, or 45, or 50, or 60, or 70, or 85, or 90, or 100.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the ratio of the height H2 of the second electrode 5 to the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is 5-80.

[0072] In the embodiment, the ratio of the height H2 of the second electrode 5 to the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 can be 5, or 15, or 20, or 25, or 30, or 32, or 40, or 45, or 50, or 60, or 70, or 75, or 80.

[0073] In the embodiment, the ratio of the height H2 of the second electrode 5 to the depth d4 of the second electrode 5 into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3 is less than the ratio of the height H1 of the first electrode 4 to the depth d3 of the first electrode 4 into the P-type doped polysilicon layer 2, so that the second electrode 5 is deeper into the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3, which is beneficial to increase the contact area of the second electrode 5 and the N-type doped polysilicon layer 3.
