The Development of Conductive Pastes for Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electrode pastes are used in solar cells for the formation of electrodes at both ends of the semiconductor substrate. The physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties of electrode pastes have important influences on the conversion efficiency and stability of the solar cells. Generally speaking, the constituents of electrode paste include organic binder, solvent, metallic conductive powders, glass frit, and some minor additives, all specially formulated to attain the properties of good electrical conductivity, wide sintering temperature, low warp, low pollution, and low cost.
