The invention discloses a modified silver thick film
sizing agent for a
crystalline silicon solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The modified silver thick film
sizing agent comprises the following ingredients by weight percentage: conductive superfine silver powders accounting for 75 to 90 percent, glass powders accounting for 1 to 8 percent, and organic phases accounting for 9 to 17 percent; in addition, the modified silver thick film
sizing agent also comprises
surface active agents accounting for 0.05 to 2 percent of the total weight of the conductive superfine silver powders and the glass powders. According to the invention, the surfaces of the powders are coated with a layer of
surface active agents, so that the aggregation condition of the powders can be improved, the powders can be dispersed in the organic phases better so as to form a more stable sizing agent
system, at the same time, the scraper
fineness of the sizing agent can be reduced, and the service life of the sizing agent can be prolonged. An
electrode printed through the modified silver thick film sizing agent achieves great height, low
body resistance and higher
mechanical strength after being sintered. Therefore, not only the modified silver thick film sizing agent disclosed by the invention improves the
mechanical strength of the
electrode of the
cell, but also fill factors (FF) of the
cell are increased, the series resistance is reduced, the optical conversion efficiency is improved, and the
cell can be enabled to achieve good balance of comprehensive electrical property and mechanical performance.
