Problems solved by technology

However, this method needs to use silver paste as a raw material, which usually contains silver powder, glass powder and organic vehicle, wherein the cost of silver powder is extremely high, which leads to a corresponding increase in the cost of the process
In addition, there are also some problems in screen printing other cheap metals, for example, screen printing copper has the defect of easy oxidation during high temperature sintering, while screen printing nickel has the defect of low conductivity

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of a solar cell, and discloses a method for manufacturing a solar cell electrode. The method comprises the following steps of (1) coating the surface of a solar cell silicon wafer with metal slurry containing a transitional metal complex; (2) performing optical curing on a region, where an electrode needs to be formed, on the surface of the solar cell silicon wafer coated with the metal slurry, so as to enable the metal slurry on the region to be subjected to an optical curing reaction; (3) immersing the optically-cured solar cell silicon wafer by a developing medicinal liquid to dissolve the metal slurry on the non-optically-cured region in the developing medicinal liquid to form an electrode pattern; and (4) performing high-temperature sintering on the product obtained in the step (3), and carrying out surface activation and surface metallization on the electrode pattern in sequence. By adoption of the method provided by the invention, the cost is greatly lowered, the production efficiency is improved, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a solar cell corresponding to the obtained solar cell electrode is relatively high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a method for making solar cell electrodes. Background technique [0002] Due to the gradual depletion of fossil energy sources, new energy sources such as solar energy and wind energy are gradually emerging. As a device that directly converts light energy into electrical energy through photoelectric effect or photochemical effect, solar cells have the advantages of various installation forms, safety and pollution-free, inexhaustible and inexhaustible, so they have been vigorously developed. The solar cell silicon wafer contains a PN junction, which can generate current under light. In order to export the current, it is necessary to make positive and negative electrodes on the surface of the solar cell silicon wafer. [0003] At present, the production method of the positive and negative electrodes of solar cells is usually to print silver paste on the front and back sides of the solar...
