Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar cell manufacturing, in particular to glass powder for preparing a solar cell electrode, a paste composition comprising the glass powder, the solar cell electrode and a solar cell.
Background
Solar cells generate electrical energy by converting photons of sunlight through a p-n junction using the photovoltaic effect. In a solar cell, front and rear electrodes are formed on upper and lower surfaces of a semiconductor wafer or substrate having a p-n junction, respectively. Then, the photoelectric effect of the p-n junction is induced by solar light entering the semiconductor wafer, and electrons generated by the photoelectric effect of the p-n junction supply current to the outside through the electrodes. The composition for an electrode is disposed on a wafer, and is patterned and baked to form an electrode of a solar cell.
Increasing the efficiency of solar cells by continuously reducing the emitter thickness may instead lead to shunting, which will deteriorate the performance of the solar cell. In addition, solar cells have gradually increased in area to improve efficiency. However, in this case, there may be a problem of efficiency degradation due to an increase in contact resistance of the solar cell.
The solar cells are connected to each other by solder ribbons to constitute a solar cell module. At present, the adhesion of solar cell electrodes made of ingredients including typical lead-containing glass frit to solder ribbons is insufficient, and low adhesion between the electrodes and the solder ribbons results in high series resistance and deterioration of conversion efficiency.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a solar cell electrode is provided. The solar cell is prepared from any one of the paste compositions.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a solar cell is provided, including an electrode. The electrode is a solar cell electrode prepared from the paste composition of the present invention.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a solar cell electrode composition includes silver powder, lead oxide-tellurium oxide-group IA metal oxide-group IIA metal oxide-transition metal oxide-based glass frit, and an organic vehicle. Now, the composition of the solar cell electrode of the present invention will be described in more detail.
(A) Silver powder
According to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the paste composition for preparing the solar cell electrode includes silver powder as the conductive powder. The particle size of the silver powder may be in the nanometer or micrometer range. For example, the silver powder may have a particle size of several tens to several hundreds of nanometers, or several to several tens of micrometers. Alternatively, the silver powder may be a mixture of two or more silver powders having different particle diameters.
The silver powder may have a spherical, flake, or amorphous shape.
The silver powder preferably has an average particle diameter (D50) of about 0.1 μm to about 10 μm, more preferably an average particle diameter (D50) of about 0.5 μm to about 5 μm. The average particle size can be measured using an instrument such as Mastersize 2000(Malvern co., Ltd.) after dispersing the conductive powder in isopropyl alcohol (IPA) by ultrasonic waves at 25 ℃ for 3 minutes. Within this average particle size range, the composition can provide low contact resistance and low line resistance.
The silver powder can be present in an amount of about 60 wt% to about 95 wt%, based on the total weight of the composition. Within this range, the conductive powder can prevent the deterioration of the conversion efficiency due to the increase in resistance. More preferably, the conductive powder is present in an amount of about 70 wt% to about 95 wt%.
(B) Glass powder based on lead oxide-tellurium oxide-group IA metal oxide-group IIA metal oxide-transition metal oxide
The glass frit serves to enhance adhesion between the conductive powder and the wafer or the substrate, and to reduce contact resistance by forming silver grains in the emitter region by etching the anti-reflection layer and melting the silver powder during sintering of the conductive paste. In addition, during the sintering process, the glass frit softens and lowers the sintering temperature.
When the area of the solar cell is increased in order to improve the efficiency of the solar cell, there may be a problem in that the contact resistance of the solar cell is increased. Therefore, there is a need to minimize the series resistance (Rs) and the effect on the p-n junction. In addition, as the suitable sintering temperature varies over a wide range using various wafers having different surface resistances, the glass frit needs to ensure sufficient thermal stability to withstand a large sintering temperature window.
The solar cells are connected to each other by solder ribbons to constitute a solar cell module. In this case, the low adhesive strength between the solar cell electrode and the solder ribbon may cause detachment of the cell or decrease reliability. In the present invention, in order to ensure that the solar cell has desired electrical and physical properties such as adhesive strength, a lead oxide-tellurium oxide-group IA metal oxide-group IIA metal oxide-transition metal oxide-based glass frit is used.
In the invention, the lead oxide-tellurium oxide-IA group metal oxide-IIA group metal oxide-transition metal oxide based glass powder can contain 20-50 wt% of PbO and 31-70 wt% of TeO20.1-7 wt% of IA group metal oxide, 0.1-7 wt% of IIA group metal oxide and other oxides RO, wherein the mass ratio of the IA group metal oxide to the IIA group metal oxide is 0.1-7: 1, and the IA group metal oxide, the IIA group metal oxide and other oxides RO areThe total addition amount of the oxides in the glass powder is 1-25 wt%. Within this range, the glass frit can ensure excellent adhesive strength and excellent conversion efficiency.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the lead oxide-tellurium oxide-group IA metal oxide-group IIA metal oxide based glass frit may further comprise at least one other oxide selected from the group consisting of phosphorus oxide (P)2O5) Boron oxide (B)2O3) Titanium oxide (TiO)2) Tungsten oxide (WO)3) Nickel oxide (NiO), silicon dioxide (SiO)2) Zinc oxide (ZnO).
The glass frit may be prepared from the lead oxide-tellurium oxide-group IA metal oxide-group IIA metal oxide-transition metal oxide by any typical method. For example, the oxide is mixed with lead oxide-bismuth oxide-tellurium oxide-tungsten oxide in a certain ratio. The mixing may be performed using a ball mill or a planetary mill. The mixed composition is melted at about 900 ℃ to about 1300 ℃ and then quenched to about 25 ℃. The resultant material is pulverized using a disk mill, a planetary mill, or the like, thereby providing glass frit.
The average particle size D50 of the glass frit may be from about 0.1 μm to about 10 μm and is present in an amount of from about 0.1 wt% to about 5 wt% based on the total amount of the composition. The glass frit may have a spherical or amorphous shape.
(C) Organic vehicle
The organic vehicle imparts the appropriate viscosity and rheological characteristics required for the conductive paste printing process by mechanical mixing with the inorganic components in the solar cell electrode.
The organic vehicle may be any typical organic vehicle used in a solar cell electrode composition, and may include a binder resin, a solvent, and the like.
The binder resin may be selected from acrylate resins or cellulose resins. Ethyl cellulose is generally used as the binder resin. Further, the binder resin may be selected from ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, nitrocellulose, a blend of ethyl cellulose and phenolic resin, alkyd resin, phenol, acrylate, xylene, polybutene, polyester, urea, melamine, vinyl acetate resin, wood rosin, polymethacrylate of alcohol, and the like.
The solvent may be selected from, for example, hexane, toluene, ethyl cellosolve, cyclohexanone, butyl cellosolve, butyl carbitol (diethylene glycol monobutyl ether), dibutyl carbitol (diethylene glycol dibutyl ether), butyl carbitol acetate (monobutyl ether acetate), propylene glycol monomethyl ether, hexylene glycol, terpineol, methyl ethyl ketone, benzyl alcohol, gamma-butyrolactone, ethyl lactate, and combinations thereof.
The organic vehicle can be present in an amount of about 1 wt% to about 20 wt%, based on the total weight of the composition. Within this range, the organic vehicle may provide sufficient adhesive strength and excellent printability to the composition.
(D) Additive agent
The composition may further include typical additives to enhance flow properties, processability and stability, as desired. The additives may include, but are not limited to, a dispersant, a thixotropic agent, a plasticizer, a viscosity stabilizer, an antifoaming agent, a pigment, a UV stabilizer, an antioxidant, a coupling agent, and the like. These additives may be used alone or as a mixture thereof. These additives may be present in an amount of about 0.1 wt% to about 5 wt% of the composition, but the amount may vary as desired.
According to a typical embodiment of the present invention, a solar cell manufactured using the paste composition. As shown in fig. 1, the back surface electrode 210 and the front surface electrode 230 may be formed by printing a cell electrode composition on a wafer or substrate 100 including a p layer 101 and an n layer 102 serving as an emitter, and sintering. For example, a preliminary process for preparing the back electrode is performed by printing the composition on the back surface of the wafer and drying the printed composition at about 200 to about 400 ℃ for about 10 to 60 seconds. In addition, a preliminary process for preparing the front electrode may be performed by printing the slurry on the front surface of the wafer and drying the printed composition. The front and back electrodes may then be formed by sintering the wafer at about 400 ℃ to about 950 ℃, preferably about 850 ℃ to about 950 ℃, for about 30 seconds to 50 seconds.
