Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a lithium and tellurium-silicate binary glass-oxide-complex system and a conductive paste containing the complex system, and belongs to the technical field of solar cells. The present disclosure uses a “functional modularity” strategy in the formula design of a glass-oxide-complex system (GOC). Alkali metal ions with high migration and reactivity are separated from a glass body with high fluidity, thus a binary complex system is constructed, that is, a lithium-containing glass-oxide-complex (Li-GOC) with high activity and a tellurium-silica-containing glass-oxide-complex (Si—Te-GOC) with high fluidity. Through the modularized formula strategy, active ingredients can be better controlled, so as to obtain more balanced contact and open circuit voltage and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a solar cell.
