Organic solar cells (OSCs), as a renewable energy technology that converts solar energy into electricity, have exhibited great application potential. With the rapid development of novel materials and device structures, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of non-fullerene OSCs has been increasingly enhanced, and over 19% has currently been achieved in single-junction …
The issue with traditional screen printing of silicon solar cells is that it needs to develop islands of silicon and silver in order to produce a contact area (Mehta and Ravindra, 2020). Ink or paste with an Ag base makes up the front contact of traditional crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells, and paste with an Al base makes up the back ...

Printing technologies for silicon solar cell metallization: A comprehensive review. Article.
We have presented a comparison between LIFT and screen-printing as the metallization method for silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells, using a commercial silver paste specifically designed for this solar cell technology. By adjusting the laser power and the rheology of the silver paste (adding a thinning agent), we could systematically transfer silver …

When the cell is cofired (in the next production step), the paste etches through the silicon nitride and silver contacts the underlying silicon to form the n-type contacts to the solar cell. This tutorial focuses on the silver screen printing process as the design of the screens is critical for the way the pattern is used to form the metal grid.

The metal electrodes are typically realized by screen printing methods. A weakness of SHJ solar cells, at least in the basic version, is the relatively moderate current density. This is mainly due to the parasitic absorption of photons in the amorphous Si layers (intrinsic and doped) on the front side. Doped materials with wider band gap, like hydrogenated …
