Paste for solar cell electrode and solar cell
View Patent ↗In a paste for a solar cell light-receiving surface electrode including silver particles, glass frit, resin binder, and thinner, silver particles with a specific surface of 0.20-0.60 m 2 /g are used as the silver particles. The silver particles are preferably included at 80 mass % or more to the total amount of silver particles being included in the paste.
1. A method of producing a light receiving surface electrode of a solar cell comprising the steps of:
applying a conductive paste on a silicon substrate; wherein the conductive paste comprises silver particles with a specific surface of 0.20-0.60 m 2 /g, and wherein the conductive paste further comprises glass frit, resin binder; and thinner and firing the applied conductive paste at a temperature of 600-900 degrees C for 2-15 minutes.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the above-mentioned silver particles are included at 80 mass % or more of the total amount of silver particles being included in the paste.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the average particle diameter of the silver particles is 0.1-14 μm.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the average particle diameter of the silver particles is 2.0-8.0 μm.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the content of the silver particles in the paste is 70-90% based upon the weight of the paste.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein the content of the glass frit is 0.5-10 wt % based upon the weight of the paste.
