In a traditional crystalline silicon solar cell, silver paste grid line electrodes are used in large quantities. And obtaining the silver paste grid line electrode through screen printing and subsequent high-temperature (800 ℃) annealing. The silver paste grid electrode used by the traditional crystalline silicon solar cell is prepared by a screen printing process, the current process limit resolution line width size of the silver paste grid electrode prepared by the screen printing is more than 20um, and then the silver paste grid electrode is easy to break in printing, the large-size grid line electrode with the line width of more than 20um causes an obvious shadow effect on the light receiving surface of the cell, and the light receiving surface loss of the light receiving surface caused by electrode coverage is increased; and the grid line intervals are very large, in order to obtain better conductivity, the surface emitter of the battery adopts n + + heavy doping, so that the carrier recombination probability of the surface emitter is obviously increased, the short-wave absorption rate of the battery is reduced, and the performance of the whole emitter and the efficiency of the battery are reduced. The theoretical efficiency upper limit value of the monocrystalline silicon solar cell reaches 33 percent, the efficiency of the existing industrialized cell is about 16 to 25 percent, and the structural design of the counter electrode and the improvement of the electrode preparation process are the main reasons of the difference source of the efficiency of the existing industrialized cell. The structural design of the electrodes also affects the power density and electrical performance of the cell, and thus the life of the cell sheet. In addition, the excessive use of silver paste also greatly increases the preparation cost of the battery.
Chinese patent No. CN 103367541 a discloses a method for preparing a silver wire grid electrode of a solar cell based on a photolithographic mask method and a liquid phase method, which comprises: (1) manufacturing a photoresist template, namely uniformly spin-coating photoresist on the surface of a silicon substrate by a spin coating method, and copying a designed specific pattern on a mask plate onto the silicon substrate after the steps of exposure, development, hardening and the like; (2) depositing Ag particles by a chemical method, and depositing the Ag particles on the photoresist template by an electrochemical reaction method; (3) removing the photoresist template and removing the photoresist by using a photoresist film remover; (4) the Ag particles which are annealed, sintered and arranged tightly are heated at high temperature and are communicated with each other to form an Ag electrode. The method adopts the traditional semiconductor chip photoetching process, adopts the conventional glue coating, prebaking, exposing, developing, rinsing, film hardening, depositing, photoresist removing and stripping process steps, can use photoetching machine equipment, and has higher manufacturing cost. The size of the prepared electrode still stays at the micron-sized 8um, the line width size of the photoresist mask stripe also stays at the micron-sized 10um-20um, and only the granularity size of silver for deposition reaches between 1nm-10um, the granularity size has no relation with the line width size of the electrode, so the line width of the whole process still stays at the micron-sized.
