Definitions
- the present invention relates to a paste for solar cell electrodes and solar cells using the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a paste for solar cell electrodes, which includes nanometer and micron scale metal oxide particles and exhibits superior printability and conversion efficiency, and to solar cells using the same.
- a solar cell is formed to generate electric energy using the photovoltaic effect of a p-n junction which converts photons into electricity.
- a front electrode and a rear electrode are formed on a front surface and a rear surface of a semiconductor wafer or substrate with the p-n junction, respectively. Then, the photovoltaic effect of the p-n junction is induced by sunlight entering the wafer and electrons generated by the photovoltaic effect of the p-n junction provide an electric current flowing to the outside through the electrodes.
- the electrodes of the solar cell are formed on the wafer by applying, patterning, and burning a paste for electrodes.
- the conversion efficiency of the solar cells is a value that indicates a conversion amount of incident light into electrical energy and is expressed as the ratio of the maximum output to incident energy. Characteristics of electrodes are an important factor in improving the conversion efficiency of the solar cells, and a paste for front electrodes configured to receive incident sunlight generally includes conductive particles, glass frit powders and a vehicle provided as a liquid carrier.
- Another conventional method using 7 to 100 nm average diameter zinc oxide powder suffers disadvantages such as an increase in viscosity of pastes, pattern losses due to poor printability, and decrease in conversion efficiency.
- the inventors developed a paste for solar cell electrodes and a solar cell using the same, which has improved paste printability while exhibiting superior conversion efficiency.
- the paste for solar cell electrodes includes (a) a conductive powder, (b) a glass frit, (c) an organic vehicle, and (d) metal oxide particles comprising nanometer scale particles having an average particle diameter (D50) of ⁇ 15 to ⁇ 50 nm and micron scale particles having an average particle diameter (D50) of ⁇ 0.1 to ⁇ 2 ⁇ m.
- the conductive powder may include at least one selected from the group consisting of silver (Ag), gold (Au), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), aluminum (Al), tin (Sn), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh), tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and indium tin oxide (ITO).
- the glass frit may include a leaded glass frit, a lead-free glass frit or a mixture thereof. Further, the glass frit may be selected from a crystallized glass frit, a non-crystallized glass frit, and a mixture thereof.
- the organic vehicle may include an organic binder and a solvent.
- the metal oxide particles may include at least one selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide (ZnO), lead oxide (PbO), copper oxide (CuO), silicon oxide (SiO 2 ), and titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) particles.
- the metal oxide particles may include particles having a nanometer scale average particle diameter (D50), and particles having a micron scale average particle diameter (D50).
- the nanometer scale particles may have an average particle diameter (D50) of ⁇ 15 to ⁇ 50 nm, and preferably ⁇ 20 to ⁇ 40 nm
- the micron scale particles may have an average particle diameter (D50) of ⁇ 0.1 to ⁇ 2 ⁇ m, and preferably 0.5 to ⁇ 1.5 ⁇ m.
- the nanometer scale particles may be present in an amount of ⁇ 5 to ⁇ 50 wt% with respect to a total amount of the metal oxide particles.
- the paste for solar cell electrodes may include (a) ⁇ 60 to ⁇ 90 wt% of the conductive powder, (b) ⁇ 1 to ⁇ 10 wt% of the glass frit, (c) ⁇ 8 to ⁇ 20 wt% of the organic vehicle, and (d) ⁇ 1 to ⁇ 10 wt% of the nanometer and micron scale metal oxide particles.
- the paste for solar cell electrodes may further include additives, such as a plasticizer, a dispersant, a thixotropic agent, a viscosity stabilizer, an anti-foaming agent, a pigment, a UV stabilizer, an antioxidant, a coupling agent, etc., which may be added in amounts well known to those skilled in the art.
- Another aspect provides an electrode formed of the paste.
- a further aspect provides a solar cell including the electrode.
- a paste for solar cell electrodes includes (a) a conductive powder, (b) a glass frit, (c) an organic vehicle, and (d) nanometer and micron scale metal oxide particles.
- the conductive powder may comprise a conductive organic material, a conductive inorganic material, or a combination thereof.

- the pastes prepared by mixing the leaded or lead-free glass frit with nanometer scale and micron scale zinc oxide particles exhibited superior fill factors and conversion efficiency.
- Such improvement in fill factor and conversion efficiency is believed to be due to promotion of paste crystallization by the glass frit and zinc oxide powder during a cooling process after drying and sintering the paste printed on the front and rear sides of the silicon wafer such that the paste is crystallized on a layer (or an emitter layer) of the silicon wafer to prevent silver (Ag) ions from entering the silicon wafer and to improve surface distribution of the silver ions.
- the nanometer scale zinc oxide particles were mixed in an amount of 5 to 50 wt% with respect to the total weigh of zinc oxide particles, the specific surface area and volume of the metal oxide particles increased to provide more spaces for reacting with the glass frit, thereby providing desired effects.
- the mixed amount of the nanometer scale zinc oxide particles exceeded 50 wt% with respect to the total weigh of zinc oxide particles, the metal oxide particles caused rapid increase in viscosity of the paste and in pattern loss resulting from poor printability due to excessive increase in specific surface area and volume and, thereby causing significant deterioration in fill factor and conversion efficiency.
