Abstract

The invention discloses silver conductor slurry for back electrodes of a solar energy battery. The slurry is composed of, by weight, 50% to 65% of silver powder, 10% to 30% of glass powder, and 20% to 40% of organic carriers, wherein the glass powder is composed of, by weight, 50% to 70% of Bi2O3, 5% to 20% of SiO2, 5% to 10% of ZnO, 5% to 10% of TiO2, 5% to 15% of B2O3, and 1% to 5% of Al2O3. According to the silver conductor slurry for back electrodes of the solar energy battery, metal-oxide frits without lead oxide are used as binders so that the slurry is environment-friendly and is good for import and export; spherical silver powders with high tap density and bright silver powders with high conductivity are collocated according to a certain proportion, a compact network with excellent conductivity is formed after sintering and each of the back electrodes has an attractive appearance; the surface active agent and / or antifoaming agent in the organic carrier can reduce foams in the silver slurry so that the printed pattern is compact, foam-free and airhole-free.
