The invention relates to lead-free glass-coated
copper powder for an HJT photovoltaic
cell, conductive
copper paste and a preparation method of the lead-free glass-coated
copper powder and the conductive copper paste, the glass-coated copper
powder comprises nano-copper powder and a
coating layer on the surface of the nano-copper powder, and the
coating layer is composed of
bismuthate glass. According to the preparation method, a
sol-
gel method is adopted, the
bismuthate glass is coated on the
nano copper powder, the glass and the copper powder form a core-shell structure, the glass can be molten into a
liquid phase during
sintering, the contact between the glass and the copper powder is more uniform, and the
oxidation resistance of the copper powder is enhanced. The prepared glass-coated copper powder can effectively isolate the copper powder from being in contact with an external
oxidizing agent, excellent anti-oxidation protection is provided, the rapid oxidation point of the copper powder is increased by 100-150 DEG C compared with the rapid oxidation point of the copper powder before
coating, and the service life of the copper powder is prolonged; meanwhile, the conductive copper paste has high stability, high reliability, low cost and
high conductivity, and meets the
environmental protection requirement.
