Description

Ni-P alloy additive for front silver paste of solar cell, preparation method and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of conductive paste for solar cells, and particularly relates to a Ni-P alloy additive for front silver paste of a solar cell, a preparation method and application.
Background
Compared with the conventional energy, the renewable energy has an unparalleled advantage, and among various renewable energy, solar energy is widely considered as the most valuable clean energy, and the solar energy irradiated to the earth in each hour is equivalent to the sum of various energies required by mankind every year. With the development and utilization of solar energy by people, the photovoltaic industry brought along with the development of solar energy is rapidly developed like a spring bamboo shoot after rain. Solar cells have been widely used in industrial production due to their mature technology and high conversion efficiency, and their application is expected to replace conventional power generation devices. Solar cells are essentially energy converters of solar photovoltaic power generation. Photovoltaic technology can convert sunlight directly into electricity to generate electricity directly. When sunlight incident light irradiates the photovoltaic cell and is absorbed, electron-hole pairs are generated on the surface of the photovoltaic cell and are separated under the action of a built-in electric field formed by the electron-hole pairs, opposite charges appear at two ends of the photovoltaic cell, and a photogenerated voltage is generated. Among all photovoltaic technology products, crystalline silicon solar cells dominate the global photovoltaic market, occupying more than 90% of the market share. The crystalline silicon solar cell is provided with a P-type substrate, a P-doped n-type semiconductor layer is laid to form a P-n junction, an antireflection film is coated on the P-type semiconductor layer, silver paste is printed on the P-type semiconductor layer through screen printing to prepare a front silver paste electrode, and back aluminum paste and a back silver paste electrode are coated on the back of the crystalline silicon solar cell to form a complete cell structure.
The conductive paste for the crystalline silicon solar cell belongs to one of thick film conductive pastes and mainly comprises an organic carrier, silver powder or aluminum powder and an inorganic phase adhesive. The inorganic phase adhesive is generally low-melting glass powder, the melting point is below 600 ℃, and the inorganic phase adhesive can be easily welded with other substances, and the glass powder is an important factor for determining contact resistance, surface etching reaction and the performance of the whole battery piece. The type and quantity of the glass powder have great influence on the open circuit voltage of the solar cell and the filling factor of the paste under the high-temperature sintering condition, and in the sintering step of the solar cell manufacturing process, the glass powder in the silver electrode paste is bonded with the lower silicon layer through corroding the SiNx antireflection film layer, so that the good ohmic contact can be guaranteed to be formed through full and complete reaction. The softening temperature of the glass powder is an important index for measuring the performance of the glass powder, if the softening temperature is low, the glass powder can be softened too early in the high-temperature sintering process, the p-n junction is easy to be punctured, and a slurry sintering film can not be in good contact with a silicon wafer, so that the performance of the whole electrode is poor; when the glass softening temperature is higher, the glass powder is not easy to melt in the high-temperature sintering process, and cannot react with the anti-reflection film and penetrate through the anti-reflection film to contact with silicon, so that the adhesive force of the slurry sintering film is reduced.
The conventional technical means for adjusting the softening point of the glass powder is to reduce the softening temperature of the glass by adjusting the proportion of low-melting point oxides and high-melting point oxides in the glass powder and adding network external oxides, and the softening temperature is usually reduced by adjusting TeO 2 、PbO、Bi 2 O 3 、WO 3 、SiO、ZnO、Li 2 O、Na 2 O、TiO 2 And the composition ratio of the oxides is equal. The low softening point enables the glass to flow prematurely and fully contact with the Si substrate, so that the solar cell has good contact performance, namely a high filling factor, but the open-circuit voltage is low; a higher softening point causes the glass to flow later, giving the solar cell a higher open circuit voltage, but poor contact performance, i.e. a poor fill factor. The adjustment of the oxide composition in the glass can only be balanced between the open-circuit voltage and the fill factor, and it is difficult to obtain a higher open-circuit voltage and fill factor at the same time. Therefore, it is an urgent need to solve the problems of making the solar cell have a higher open-circuit voltage and a higher fill factor, and increasing the short-circuit current and the conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
