Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of macromolecule-based conductive materials and, in particular, to a low temperature-sintering rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell.


BACKGROUND

With the rapid development of modern industry, the natural energy resources such as petroleum, coal and natural gas on the earth are gradually depleted, and the subsequent energy crisis, greenhouse effect and environmental pollution are increasingly serious, which poses the need for seeking novel clean energy resources capable of replacing the natural energy resources. The sun has become an effective provider of novel energy sources. Solar energy can be converted into electric energy by solar cells, which is the most direct way to convert solar energy with the least steps among all the methods for utilizing clean energy sources.


Solar cells available on the market are mainly crystalline silicon solar cells at present, and in consideration of technical maturity, photoelectric conversion efficiency, sources of starting materials and the like, silicon solar cells will remain the main focus of development of photovoltaic solar cells for a long time in the future. Therefore, how to further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of crystalline silicon solar cells is one of the continuous pursuits in the industry.


Aluminum back surface field (BSF) is a typical back surface passivation structure commonly employed in modern crystalline silicon solar cells. After years of development, the production process of the aluminum back surface field gradually tends to be mature and stable, and various studies on the aluminum back surface field are increasingly deepened. All those above indicate that the aluminum back surface field will remain to be widely used for crystalline silicon solar cells in a long time in the future and to be a major contribution to improving the conversion efficiency of cells.


Therefore, the preparation process flow of a conventional crystalline silicon solar cell at present comprises performing diffusion on the starting material, a silicon die, to prepare p-n junctions after pre-cleaning and texturing, removing the phosphorosilicate glass (PSG) layer by etching, plating an anti-reflection coating to give a blue film plate by PECVD, printing a rear silver paste to prepare rear silver electrodes by screen printing, printing a rear aluminum paste to prepare the aluminum back surface field after drying, printing a front silver paste to prepare front silver electrodes after drying, and sintering at high temperature for a short time after drying to give a cell plate.


In addition to properties of good printing performance and a low silver content required for a conventional crystalline silicon cell rear silver paste, the requirements of the PERC cell on the PERC rear silver paste further comprise the following: (1) low activity to reduce the reaction of the glass powder with the passivation coating, to prevent a large number of recombination centers from forming at the place where the silver paste contacts with the silicon die, and to improve the open-circuit voltage; (2) a wide process window suitable for the low temperature-sintering process; and (3) excellent adhesion and aging adhesion.


Chinese Patent CN109659068A discloses a low temperature-curing rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell, prepared from 10-20 parts of a spherical silver powder, 50-60 parts of a flake silver powder, 14-30 parts of bisphenol A epoxy resin, 5-9.6 parts of a reactive diluent, 0.77-1.18 parts of curing agent dicyandiamide, 0.02-0.04 parts of a curing accelerator and 0.2-0.5 parts of a thixotropic auxiliary agent. However, the rear electrode printed with the low temperature-curing rear silver paste of the invention has poor adhesion, resulting in reduced open voltage of the PERC solar cell and thus reduced photoelectric conversion efficiency of the PERC solar cell.


SUMMARY

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a low temperature-sintering rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell for reducing recombination of current carriers and formation of silver-aluminum alloy. The process of the silver paste features simplified procedures and is suitable for the existing process flow. The technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:


The present invention provides a low temperature-sintering rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell, comprising the following components in part by mass:




















i.
a nano-silver powder
60-70
parts;



ii.
an organic vehicle
20-45
parts;



iii.
a dispersant
0.1-0.3
parts; and



iv.
a thixotropic agent
0.1-0.3
parts;










wherein the nano-silver powder has a tap density of 3-3.5 g/cm3, a specific surface area of 4.8-5.8 cm2/g, a median particle size D50 of 0.05-0.5 μm, a span of the particle size of 0.8-0.9, and a loss on ignition of 0.1-0.2%.


In some embodiments of the present invention, the low temperature-sintering rear silver paste further comprises 1-10 parts by mass of a glass powder.


In some embodiments of the present invention, the glass powder is a lead-free glass powder, and has a softening temperature of 500-700° C. and an average particle size D50 of 0.3-0.4 μm. (custom-character)


In some embodiments of the present invention, the glass powder comprises, in part by mass, 60-65 parts of Bi2O3, 20-30 parts of B2O3, 5-10 parts of ZnO or Zn3(PO4)2, 20-25 parts of SiO2, 1-3 parts of Al2O3, 5-10 parts of NiO and 2-5 parts of V2O5.


In some embodiments of the present invention, the organic vehicle is selected from ethyl cellulose, terpineol, butyl carbitol, butyl carbitol acetate and texanol, or a mixture thereof.


In some embodiments of the present invention, the dispersant is selected from DMA, TDO, sorbitan trioleate, BYK-110 and BYK-111, or a mixture thereof.


DMA is dimethylacetamide, or N,N-dimethylacetamide (chemical formula: CH3C(O)N(CH3)2; abbreviated as DMAC or DMA); DMA is commonly used as an aprotic polar solvent in the form of a colorless, transparent and flammable liquid. It is miscible with organic solvents such as water, alcohol, ether, ester, benzene, chloroform and aromatic compounds, suitable for preparing medicines and synthesizing resins, and also used as a solvent for spinning polyacrylonitrile and as an extraction and distillation solvent for separating styrene from a C8 fraction. It is prepared by the reaction of dimethylamine and acetyl chloride.


TDO is a special dual-ion long-chain super wetting dispersant, and is suitable for preparing various aqueous and oily organic and inorganic coating pastes. As TDO has high surface activity, it has remarkable performance. TDO enables the paste to migrate during the curing process of the painted coating and to firmly adhere to a solid surface, so as to give an ideal effect.


BYK-110 deflocculates the paste by steric hindrance. High gloss and increased color intensity can be provided due to the low particle size in the deflocculated paste. In addition, transparency and hiding power are increased. Such products have reduced viscosity and thus improved leveling property. Therefore, the paste content can be increased.


BYK-111 is a solvent-free wetting dispersant for solvent-based and solvent-free pastes and printing inks, and can stabilize inorganic pigments, especially titanium dioxide. The viscosity of the grinding material is significantly reduced.


In some embodiments of the present invention, the thixotropic agent is selected from hydrogenated castor oil and polyamide wax, or a mixture thereof.


The present invention further provides a method for preparing a rear silver electrode of a PERC solar cell by using the low temperature-sintering rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell disclosed herein, comprising forming a silicon nitride anti-reflection passivation coating on a front of a P-type crystalline silicon, plating a rear passivation layer on a rear of the P-type crystalline silicon, grooving on the rear passivation layer, and metallizing the front and the rear of the P-type crystalline silicon, wherein metallizing the rear of the P-type crystalline silicon comprises the following steps:


printing an aluminum paste on the rear passivation layer of the P-type crystalline silicon and drying, then printing a silver paste on the front and drying, and sintering; and


printing the low temperature-sintering rear silver paste on the rear aluminum paste according to the step (1), drying and sintering to form a rear silver electrode.


In some embodiments of the present invention, for the rear aluminum paste in step (1) above, the drying temperature is 150-250° C., and the drying time period is 2.5-3.5 min; for the front silver paste, the drying temperature is 150-250° C., the sintering temperature is 750-850° C., and the sintering time period is 8-15 s.


In some embodiments of the present invention, for the rear electrode in step (2) above, the drying temperature is 150-250° C., the drying time period is 1.5-2.5 min, the sintering temperature is 250-400° C., the width is 0.6-2.5 mm, the length is 8-20 mm, and the height is 2-5 μm.


Beneficial Effects: The present invention has the following advantages:


Printing the low temperature-sintering rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell disclosed herein on a PERC solar cell can effectively prevent silver and aluminum from mutual diffusion to form silver-aluminum alloy and the welding performance can be improved; the rear silver paste is printed on the rear aluminum layer to form a layer in the rear silver region, which can increase the contact area between the rear silver paste and the aluminum paste, thereby increasing the open-circuit voltage of the solar cell prepared, reducing the lap resistance of silver and aluminum and thus improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell.


The nano-silver powder in the low temperature-sintering rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell disclosed herein has a tap density of 3-3.5 g/cm3, specific surface area of 4.8-5.8 cm2/g, a median particle size D50 of 0.05-0.5 μm, a span of the particle size of 0.8-0.9, and a loss on ignition of 0.1-0.2%. The nano-silver powder adopted in the present invention has good sintering activity, and thus is suitable for sintering at low temperature. In addition, part of the silver paste will permeate into a rear aluminum paste in the process of sintering to form good silver-aluminum contact.


The low temperature-sintering rear silver paste for an all-aluminum back surface field crystalline silicon solar cell disclosed herein can be used for preparing rear silver electrodes, wherein the low temperature-sintering rear silver paste is printed on the all-aluminum rear. By using the method of preparing the rear electrode, a complete BSF layer can be formed, leading to an improved field passivation property of electrode regions and reduced carrier recombination. Besides, no silver entering a silicon substrate avoids electric leakage, thereby reducing leakage current in cells and improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency. Compared to a conventional paste, eliminated need for overprinting process reduces the width of the electrode and thus the costs.
