Background
The metal silver has excellent electric and heat conducting properties, and is widely applied to the fields of thick film electric conducting paste, high and low temperature electric conducting glue, electromagnetic shielding and other electronic paste. Silver powder is used as a conductive filler, is an important component of electronic paste, is a key material for determining the performance of the paste, and is therefore a noble metal powder material which is most widely used and has the greatest dosage at present. As an important component of the electronic paste, the morphology, particle size, dispersibility, specific surface area and other basic powder characteristics of silver powder play an important role in the electrical performance, flowability, printability and the like of the electronic paste. The dispersion performance of the silver powder determines whether the silver powder can be uniformly dispersed in the electronic paste, and the excellent dispersion performance can ensure that the silver powder is uniformly distributed in the electronic paste, so that the conductivity and the stability of the electronic paste are improved. The sintering performance of the silver powder determines the stability and the forming effect of the electronic paste under the high-temperature condition, and the good sintering performance can ensure that the electronic paste forms a compact conductive layer in the sintering process, so that the performance and the reliability of an electronic device are improved. Therefore, the conductivity, dispersion and sintering properties of silver powder play a decisive role in the electronic paste.
In the field of solar cells, electronic paste generally requires high sphericity, narrow fluidity, narrow particle size distribution, high tap density and the like of silver powder, and people generally pay attention to particle size, tap density, specific surface, surface morphology and the like of the silver powder in the process of synthesizing and modifying the silver powder, so that the surface modification of the silver powder is often studied very little. But the surface modification of silver powder can improve the bonding strength of silver powder and a substrate material, improve the uniformity and compactness of sintering by changing the surface property, morphology, introducing functional materials and the like, and introduce other functional materials to improve the sintering performance.
In order to adapt to the rapid firing process of the crystalline silicon solar cell, performance requirements of high sintering activity are put forward on silver powder forming front silver paste, and particularly with development of novel efficient cell technologies such as PERC, HJT and the like, the silver powder is required to have higher sintering activity at lower temperature. The application of the nano silver powder solves one selection of the application problems, and the comprehensive performance requirements of the front silver paste of the crystalline silicon solar cell on the aspects of screen printability, sintering activity, electrical performance and the like can be met through the compound use of the micro crystal silver powder and a small amount of nano silver powder. However, the use of the nano silver powder may cause an increase in the cost of the paste, and operational complexity and quality risks in terms of whether the nano silver powder can be uniformly dispersed in the paste, and the like.

The results are shown in tables 2 and 3 below.
TABLE 2 viscosity and rheological Properties of surface modified silver powder
The front side silver paste needs to have good thixotropic properties so that it can pass through the screen when printed and the printed grid lines are not easily collapsed. From the viscosity and rheological data in the table, the viscosity and rheological change of the silver powder after the surface silver carboxylate modification are small, and good rheology and thixotropy still remain, which indicates that the printing line of the silver powder obtained in the example is not degraded due to the surface modification.
TABLE 3 silver paste string resistance and aspect ratio
Group of String resistance Rs/Ohm Aspect ratio
Example 1 1.04 0.29
Example 2 1.03 0.30
Example 3 1.05 0.28
Example 4 1.07 0.27
Comparative example 1 1.23 0.24
Comparative example 2 1.11 0.26
As can be seen from the series resistance data in the table, the series resistance of the comparative example 1 is higher than that of the example 3, which shows that under the rapid firing process, the silver powder modified by the surface silver carboxylate decomposes silver simple substance due to the silver carboxylate during sintering, so that the silver powder is directly welded together, a conductive network is easier to form, the series resistance is lower, and the conductive performance is better. According to the data of the aspect ratio, the silver powder modified by the surface carboxylic acid is welded together because of the low decomposition temperature of the silver carboxylate and the high surface sintering activity, and the printed line shape cannot collapse along with the volatilization and decomposition of the organic carrier, so that the line shape is better in preservation and has better aspect ratio.
Test example 4
The surface-modified silver powders obtained in example 3 and comparative example 1 were characterized by a thermogravimetric analyzer, and the thermogravimetric curves were measured as shown in fig. 3. As can be seen from fig. 3, the temperature at which the thermal weight loss starts in example 3 is significantly lower than in comparative example 1, which is that the silver carboxylate modified on the surface of the silver powder can be thermally decomposed to form elemental silver, which shortens the sintering temperature of the silver powder.
