Description

本発明は、太陽電池の電極を形成するための組成物と、この組成物を用いて電極を形成する方法並びにこの形成方法により得られた電極を用いた太陽電池に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a composition for forming an electrode of a solar cell, a method for forming an electrode using the composition, and a solar cell using an electrode obtained by the formation method.

従来、この種の電極の形成方法として、0.03μm以下の粒径の金属超微粒子を100〜200程度の低分子量の有機溶媒に分散させた溶液を光電変換半導体層に塗布・焼成することにより下層電極層を形成し、金属超微粒子の含有重量濃度が下層電極層の形成に用いた溶液と同じか或いは下層電極層の形成に用いた溶液より高い濃度の溶液を光電変換半導体層に塗布・焼成することにより上層電極層を形成する太陽電池の金属電極形成方法が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。この金属電極形成方法では、金属超微粒子を分散させかつ粘度を10000cps程度に調整した溶液をスクリーン印刷法等により光電変換半導体層に塗布した後に、100〜250℃、好ましくは250℃の温度に30分以上保持して焼成することにより、金属電極(下層電極層又は上層電極層)を形成する。
このように構成された太陽電池の金属電極形成方法では、金属超微粒子を有機溶媒に分散させた溶液を光電変換半導体層に塗布した後に、100〜250℃の低温で焼結することにより、高真空プロセスを用いずに、高い反射率及び導電率を有しかつ大きな面積の金属電極を得られるようになっている。
Conventionally, as a method for forming this type of electrode, a solution obtained by dispersing ultrafine metal particles having a particle size of 0.03 μm or less in an organic solvent having a low molecular weight of about 100 to 200 is applied to a photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer and fired. Form a lower electrode layer, and apply a solution with a concentration of ultrafine metal particles equal to or higher than the solution used for forming the lower electrode layer to the photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer. A method for forming a metal electrode of a solar cell that forms an upper electrode layer by firing is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1). In this metal electrode forming method, a solution in which ultrafine metal particles are dispersed and the viscosity is adjusted to about 10,000 cps is applied to the photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer by a screen printing method or the like, and then the temperature is set to 100 to 250 ° C., preferably 250 ° C. A metal electrode (lower electrode layer or upper electrode layer) is formed by holding and baking for at least a minute.
In the method for forming a metal electrode of a solar cell configured in this way, after applying a solution in which metal ultrafine particles are dispersed in an organic solvent to a photoelectric conversion semiconductor layer, sintering is performed at a low temperature of 100 to 250 ° C. Without using a vacuum process, a metal electrode having a high reflectance and conductivity and a large area can be obtained.

特許第3287754号(請求項1、段落[0024]、段落[0035])Japanese Patent No. 3287754 (claim 1, paragraph [0024], paragraph [0035])

上記従来の特許文献1に示された太陽電池の金属電極形成方法では、焼成後の金属電極中の金属超微粒子を安定化させるために、所定の導電性を確保しながら金属超微粒子を100〜200程度の低分子量の有機物で保護する必要がある。一方、有機溶媒に分散させた金属超微粒子を低温で焼結化させるために、この金属超微粒子のサイズを小さくすると、金属超微粒子の比表面積が増大し、上記有機物の占める割合が大きくなる。このため、上記従来の特許文献1に示された太陽電池の金属電極形成方法では、有機溶媒に分散させた金属超微粒子の低温焼結化は、上記有機物を熱により脱離、或いは分解(分離・燃焼)させなければ実現できず、特に有機溶媒に分散させた金属超微粒子を220℃以下で焼成して得られた金属電極について耐候性試験を行うと、具体的には、温度を100℃に保ちかつ湿度を50%に保った恒温恒湿槽に金属電極を1000時間収容すると、上記有機物が変質又は劣化して、導電性及び反射率が低下してしまう問題点があった。

It is necessary to protect with an organic substance having a low molecular weight of about 200. On the other hand, if the size of the metal ultrafine particles is reduced in order to sinter the metal ultrafine particles dispersed in the organic solvent at a low temperature, the specific surface area of the metal ultrafine particles increases and the proportion of the organic matter increases. For this reason, in the conventional metal electrode forming method for solar cells shown in Patent Document 1, low-temperature sintering of metal ultrafine particles dispersed in an organic solvent is performed by desorbing or decomposing (separating) the organic matter by heat. If the weather resistance test is performed on a metal electrode obtained by firing metal ultrafine particles dispersed in an organic solvent at 220 ° C. or lower, specifically, the temperature is set to 100 ° C. When the metal electrode is housed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber maintained at 50% and humidity of 50% for 1000 hours, the organic matter is altered or deteriorated, resulting in a decrease in conductivity and reflectance.
An object of the present invention is to provide a composition for forming an electrode for a solar cell and a method for producing the same , which can maintain high conductivity and high reflectivity even when used for many years, and can obtain an electrode having excellent aging stability. Is to provide.

本発明の組成物は、金属ナノ粒子が分散媒に分散した太陽電池の電極形成用組成物である。上記金属ナノ粒子は75重量%以上、好ましくは80重量%以上の銀ナノ粒子を含有する。また金属ナノ粒子は炭素骨格が炭素数1〜3の有機分子主鎖の保護剤で化学修飾される。更に金属ナノ粒子は一次粒径10〜50nmの範囲内の金属ナノ粒子を数平均で70%以上、好ましくは75%以上含有する。ここで、銀ナノ粒子の含有量を全ての金属ナノ粒子100重量%に対して75重量%以上の範囲に限定したのは、75重量%未満ではこの組成物を用いて形成された太陽電池の電極の反射率が低下してしまうからである。また金属ナノ粒子を化学修飾する保護剤の有機分子主鎖の炭素骨格の炭素数を1〜3の範囲に限定したのは、炭素数が4以上であると焼成時の熱により保護剤が脱離或いは分解(分離・燃焼)し難く、上記電極内に有機残渣が多く残り、変質又は劣化して電極の導電性及び反射率が低下してしまうからである。また一次粒径10〜50nmの範囲内の金属ナノ粒子の含有量を、数平均で全ての金属ナノ粒子100%に対して70%以上の範囲に限定したのは、70%未満では金属ナノ粒子の比表面積が増大して有機物の占める割合が大きくなり、焼成時の熱により脱離或いは分解(分離・燃焼)し易い有機分子であっても、この有機分子の占める割合が多いため、電極内に有機残渣が多く残り、この残渣が変質又は劣化して電極の導電性及び反射率が低下したり、或いは金属ナノ粒子の粒度分布が広くなり電極の密度が低下し易くなって、電極の導電性及び反射率が低下してしまうからである。更に上記金属ナノ粒子の一次粒径を10〜50nmの範囲内に限定したのは、統計的手法より一次粒径が10〜50nmの範囲内にある金属ナノ粒子が経時安定性(経年安定性)と相関しているからである。
Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
The composition of the present invention is a composition for forming an electrode of a solar cell in which metal nanoparticles are dispersed in a dispersion medium. The metal nanoparticles contain 75% by weight or more, preferably 80% by weight or more of silver nanoparticles. The metal nanoparticles are chemically modified with a protective agent having an organic molecular main chain having a carbon skeleton of 1 to 3 carbon atoms. Further, the metal nanoparticles contain 70% or more, preferably 75% or more of metal nanoparticles having a primary particle size in the range of 10 to 50 nm in terms of number average. Here, the content of silver nanoparticles was limited to a range of 75% by weight or more with respect to 100% by weight of all metal nanoparticles, and less than 75% by weight of solar cells formed using this composition. This is because the reflectance of the electrode is lowered. Moreover, the carbon number of the carbon skeleton of the organic molecular main chain of the protective agent for chemically modifying the metal nanoparticles was limited to the range of 1 to 3 because the protective agent was removed by the heat during firing if the carbon number was 4 or more. This is because separation or decomposition (separation / combustion) is difficult, and a large amount of organic residue remains in the electrode, resulting in alteration or deterioration, resulting in a decrease in the conductivity and reflectance of the electrode. The content of the metal nanoparticles in the range of primary particle diameter of 10 to 50 nm, was limited to a range of 70% or more relative to 100% all the metal nanoparticles by the number average, metal nano in less than 7 0% The specific surface area of the particles increases and the proportion of organic matter increases, and even if the organic molecule is easily desorbed or decomposed (separated or burned) by the heat during firing, the proportion of this organic molecule is large. A large amount of organic residue remains inside, and the residue is altered or deteriorated to reduce the conductivity and reflectance of the electrode, or the particle size distribution of the metal nanoparticles is widened and the density of the electrode is likely to be reduced. This is because conductivity and reflectivity are reduced. Furthermore, the primary particle size of the metal nanoparticles was limited to the range of 10 to 50 nm because the metal nanoparticles having a primary particle size within the range of 10 to 50 nm are stable over time (statistical stability). It is because it correlates.

一方、銀ナノ粒子を含む金属ナノ粒子の含有量は、金属ナノ粒子及び分散媒からなる組成物100重量%に対して2.5〜95.0重量%、好ましくは3.5〜90.0重量%含有する。また分散媒は、全ての分散媒100重量%に対して、1重量%以上、好ましくは2重量%以上の水と、2重量%以上、好ましくは3重量%以上のアルコール類とを含有する。例えば、分散媒が水及びアルコール類のみからなる場合、水を2重量%含有するときはアルコール類を98重量%含有し、アルコール類を2重量%含有するときは水を98重量%含有する。更に保護剤、即ち金属ナノ粒子表面に化学修飾している保護分子は、水酸基(−OH)又はカルボニル基(−C=O)のいずれか一方又は双方を含有する。ここで、銀ナノ粒子を含む金属ナノ粒子の含有量を金属ナノ粒子及び分散媒からなる組成物100重量%に対して2.5〜95.0重量%の範囲に限定したのは、2.5重量%未満では特に焼成後の電極の特性には影響はないけれども、必要な厚さの電極を得ることが難しく、95.0重量%を越えると組成物の湿式塗工時にインク或いはペーストとしての必要な流動性を失ってしまうからである。また水の含有量を全ての分散媒100重量%に対して1重量%以上の範囲に限定したのは、1重量%未満では、組成物を湿式塗工法により塗工して得られた膜を低温で焼結し難く、また焼成後の電極の導電性と反射率が低下してしまい、アルコール類の含有量を全ての分散媒100重量%に対して2重量%以上の範囲に限定したのは、2重量%未満では、上記と同様に組成物を湿式塗工法により塗工して得られた膜を低温で焼結し難く、また焼成後の電極の導電性と反射率が低下してしまうからである。なお、水酸基(−OH)が銀ナノ粒子等の金属ナノ粒子を化学修飾する保護剤に含有されると、組成物の分散安定性に優れ、塗膜の低温焼結にも効果的な作用があり、カルボニル基(−C=O)が銀ナノ粒子等の金属ナノ粒子を化学修飾する保護剤に含有されると、上記と同様に組成物の分散安定性に優れ、塗膜の低温焼結にも効果的な作用がある。   On the other hand, the content of the metal nanoparticles including silver nanoparticles is 2.5 to 95.0% by weight, preferably 3.5 to 90.0% with respect to 100% by weight of the composition comprising the metal nanoparticles and the dispersion medium. Contains by weight. The dispersion medium contains 1% by weight or more, preferably 2% by weight or more of water, and 2% by weight or more, preferably 3% by weight or more of alcohols with respect to 100% by weight of all the dispersion media. For example, when the dispersion medium is composed of only water and alcohols, it contains 98% by weight of alcohol when it contains 2% by weight of water and 98% by weight of water when it contains 2% by weight of alcohol. Further, the protective agent, that is, the protective molecule chemically modified on the surface of the metal nanoparticle contains either one or both of a hydroxyl group (—OH) and a carbonyl group (—C═O). Here, the content of the metal nanoparticles including silver nanoparticles was limited to the range of 2.5 to 95.0% by weight with respect to 100% by weight of the composition composed of the metal nanoparticles and the dispersion medium. If it is less than 5% by weight, the properties of the electrode after firing are not particularly affected, but it is difficult to obtain an electrode having a required thickness. If it exceeds 95.0% by weight, it is used as an ink or paste when wet-coating the composition. This is because the necessary liquidity is lost. Further, the content of water is limited to a range of 1% by weight or more with respect to 100% by weight of all the dispersion media. When the content is less than 1% by weight, a film obtained by applying the composition by a wet coating method is used. It was difficult to sinter at low temperature, and the conductivity and reflectance of the electrode after firing were lowered, and the content of alcohols was limited to a range of 2% by weight or more with respect to 100% by weight of all dispersion media. If it is less than 2% by weight, it is difficult to sinter the film obtained by applying the composition by the wet coating method at a low temperature as described above, and the conductivity and reflectance of the electrode after firing are reduced. Because it ends up. In addition, when a hydroxyl group (—OH) is contained in a protective agent that chemically modifies metal nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles, the composition has excellent dispersion stability and has an effective effect on low-temperature sintering of the coating film. Yes, when a carbonyl group (—C═O) is contained in a protective agent that chemically modifies metal nanoparticles such as silver nanoparticles, the composition has excellent dispersion stability as described above, and the coating film is sintered at low temperature. Also has an effective action.

一方、銀ナノ粒子以外の金属ナノ粒子は、Au、Pt、Pd、Ru、Ni、Cu、Sn、In、Zn、Cr、Fe及びMnからなる群より選ばれた1種又は2種以上の混合組成又は合金組成からなる金属ナノ粒子であり、この銀ナノ粒子以外の金属ナノ粒子は全ての金属ナノ粒子100重量%に対して0.02重量%以上かつ25重量%未満、好ましくは0.03重量%〜20重量%含有する。また上記アルコール類は、メタノール、エタノール、プロパノール、ブタノール、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、グリセロール、イソボニルヘキサノール及びエリトリトールからなる群より選ばれた1種又は2種以上であることが好ましい。ここで、銀ナノ粒子以外の金属ナノ粒子の含有量を全ての金属ナノ粒子100重量%に対して0.02重量%以上かつ25重量%未満の範囲に限定したのは、0.02重量%未満では特に大きな問題はないけれども、0.02〜25重量%の範囲内においては、耐候性試験(温度100℃かつ湿度50%の恒温恒湿槽に1000時間保持する試験)後の電極の導電性及び反射率が耐候性試験前より悪化しないという特徴があり、25重量%以上では焼成直後の電極の導電性及び反射率が低下し、しかも耐候性試験後の電極が耐候性試験前の電極より導電性及び反射率が低下してしまうからである。   On the other hand, the metal nanoparticles other than silver nanoparticles are one or a mixture of two or more selected from the group consisting of Au, Pt, Pd, Ru, Ni, Cu, Sn, In, Zn, Cr, Fe and Mn. Metal nanoparticles having a composition or an alloy composition. The metal nanoparticles other than silver nanoparticles are 0.02% by weight or more and less than 25% by weight, preferably 0.03% with respect to 100% by weight of all metal nanoparticles. Contains from 20% to 20% by weight. The alcohols are preferably one or more selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerol, isobornyl hexanol and erythritol. Here, the content of the metal nanoparticles other than the silver nanoparticles is limited to 0.02% by weight or more and less than 25% by weight with respect to 100% by weight of all the metal nanoparticles. However, in the range of 0.02 to 25% by weight, the conductivity of the electrode after a weather resistance test (a test held in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at a temperature of 100 ° C. and a humidity of 50% for 1000 hours). And 25% by weight or more, the conductivity and reflectance of the electrode immediately after firing are reduced, and the electrode after the weathering test is the electrode before the weathering test. This is because the conductivity and reflectance are further reduced.

このように構成された太陽電池の電極形成用組成物の製造方法を説明する。
(a) 銀ナノ粒子を化学修飾する保護剤の有機分子主鎖の炭素骨格の炭素数を3とする場合
先ず硝酸銀を脱イオン水等の水に溶解して第1金属塩水溶液を調製する。一方、クエン酸ナトリウムを脱イオン水等の水に溶解させて得られた濃度10〜40%のクエン酸ナトリウム水溶液に、窒素ガス等の不活性ガスの気流中で粒状又は粉状の硫酸第一鉄を直接加えて溶解させ、クエン酸イオンと第一鉄イオンを3:2のモル比で含有する還元剤水溶液を調製する。次に上記不活性ガス気流中で上記還元剤水溶液を撹拌しながら、この還元剤水溶液に上記第1金属塩水溶液を滴下して混合する。ここで、第1金属塩水溶液の添加量は還元剤水溶液の量の1/10以下になるように、各溶液の濃度を調整することで、室温の第1金属塩水溶液を滴下しても反応温度が30〜60℃に保持されるようにする。また上記両水溶液の混合比は、第1金属塩水溶液中の金属イオンの総原子価数に対する、還元剤水溶液中のクエン酸イオンと第一鉄イオンのモル比がいずれも3倍モルとなるようにする。第1金属塩水溶液の滴下が終了した後、混合液の撹拌を更に10〜300分間続けて金属コロイドからなる第1分散液を調製する。この分散液を室温で放置し、沈降した金属ナノ粒子の凝集物をデカンテーションや遠心分離法等により分離した後、この分離物に脱イオン水等の水を加えて第1分散体の前駆体とし、限外ろ過により脱塩処理し、更に引き続いて第1分散体の前駆体をアルコール類で置換洗浄して、金属(銀)の含有量を2.5〜50重量%にする。その後、第1分散体の前駆体を遠心分離機を用いこの遠心分離機の遠心力を調整して粗粒子を分離することにより、金属ナノ粒子が一次粒径10〜50nmの範囲内の金属ナノ粒子を数平均で70%以上含有するように調製する、即ち数平均で全ての金属ナノ粒子100%に対する一次粒径10〜50nmの範囲内の金属ナノ粒子の占める割合が70%以上になるように調整する。なお、金属ナノ粒子と記載したが、この(a)の場合では、数平均で全ての銀ナノ粒子100%に対する一次粒径10〜50nmの範囲内の銀ナノ粒子の占める割合が70%以上になるように調整している。
The manufacturing method of the composition for electrode formation of the solar cell comprised in this way is demonstrated.
(a) When the carbon number of the carbon skeleton of the organic molecular main chain of the protective agent for chemically modifying the silver nanoparticles is set to 3 First, silver nitrate is dissolved in water such as deionized water to prepare a first metal salt aqueous solution. On the other hand, the aqueous solution of sodium citrate having a concentration of 10 to 40% obtained by dissolving sodium citrate in deionized water or the like is mixed with granular or powdered sulfuric acid in a stream of inert gas such as nitrogen gas. Iron is directly added and dissolved to prepare an aqueous reducing agent solution containing citrate ions and ferrous ions in a molar ratio of 3: 2. Next, the first metal salt aqueous solution is dropped into and mixed with the reducing agent aqueous solution while stirring the reducing agent aqueous solution in the inert gas stream. Here, by adjusting the concentration of each solution so that the amount of the first metal salt aqueous solution added is 1/10 or less of the amount of the reducing agent aqueous solution, the reaction can be performed even when the first metal salt aqueous solution at room temperature is dropped. temperature he to is held at 30 to 60 ° C.. The mixing ratio of the two aqueous solutions is such that the molar ratio of the citrate ion and the ferrous ion in the reducing agent aqueous solution is 3 times as much as the total valence of the metal ions in the first metal salt aqueous solution. To. After the dropping of the first metal salt aqueous solution is completed, stirring of the mixed solution is further continued for 10 to 300 minutes to prepare a first dispersion composed of metal colloid. The dispersion is allowed to stand at room temperature, and the aggregates of the precipitated metal nanoparticles are separated by decantation, centrifugation, or the like, and then water such as deionized water is added to the separated material to form a precursor of the first dispersion. And desalting by ultrafiltration, followed by substitution washing of the precursor of the first dispersion with alcohols to make the metal (silver) content 2.5 to 50% by weight. Thereafter, the precursor of the first dispersion is adjusted using a centrifuge to adjust the centrifugal force of the centrifuge to separate the coarse particles, whereby the metal nanoparticles having a primary particle size in the range of 10 to 50 nm are obtained. The particles are prepared so as to contain 70% or more of the number average, that is, the ratio of the metal nanoparticles within the range of the primary particle size of 10 to 50 nm with respect to 100% of all the metal nanoparticles is 70% or more. Adjust to. Although described as metal nanoparticles, in the case of (a), the proportion of silver nanoparticles in the range of the primary particle size of 10 to 50 nm with respect to 100% of all silver nanoparticles is 70% or more. It is adjusted so that

Next, a primary particle size is measured for 200 metal nanoparticles from the obtained image, and a particle size distribution is created based on the measurement result. Next, from the created particle size distribution, the ratio of the number of metal nanoparticles within the range of the primary particle size of 10 to 50 nm occupied by all metal nanoparticles is determined.

The die coating method is a method in which a dispersion supplied in a die is distributed by a manifold and extruded onto a thin film from a slit to coat the surface of a traveling substrate. The die coating method includes a slot coat method, a slide coat method, and a curtain coat method.

次に上面に成膜された基材を大気中で130〜400℃、好ましくは140〜200℃の温度に、10分間〜1時間、好ましくは15〜40分間保持して焼成する。ここで、基材上に形成された分散体の膜厚を、焼成後の厚さが0.1〜2.0μmの範囲内となるように限定したのは、0.1μm未満では太陽電池に必要な電極の表面抵抗値が不十分となり、2.0μmを越えると特性上の不具合はないけれども、材料の使用量が必要以上に多くなって材料が無駄になるからである。また基材上に形成された分散体の膜の焼成温度を130〜400℃の範囲に限定したのは、130℃未満では金属ナノ粒子同士の焼結が不十分になるとともに保護剤の焼成時の熱により脱離或いは分解(分離・燃焼)し難いため、焼成後の電極内に有機残渣が多く残り、この残渣が変質又は劣化して導電性及び反射率が低下してしまい、400℃を越えると低温プロセスという生産上のメリットを生かせない、即ち製造コストが増大し生産性が低下してしまうからである。更に基材上に形成された分散体の膜の焼成時間を10分間〜1時間の範囲に限定したのは、10分間未満では金属ナノ粒子同士の焼結が不十分になるとともに保護剤の焼成時の熱により脱離或いは分解(分離・燃焼)し難いため、焼成後の電極内に有機残渣が多く残り、この残渣が変質又は劣化して電極の導電性及び反射率が低下してしまい、1時間を越えると特性には影響しないけれども、必要以上に製造コストが増大して生産性が低下してしまうからである。   Next, the base material formed on the upper surface is fired in the air at a temperature of 130 to 400 ° C., preferably 140 to 200 ° C., for 10 minutes to 1 hour, preferably 15 to 40 minutes. Here, the film thickness of the dispersion formed on the substrate was limited so that the thickness after firing was in the range of 0.1 to 2.0 μm. This is because the necessary surface resistance value of the electrode becomes insufficient, and if it exceeds 2.0 μm, there is no problem in characteristics, but the amount of material used is increased more than necessary and the material is wasted. In addition, the firing temperature of the dispersion film formed on the base material was limited to the range of 130 to 400 ° C. When the temperature was lower than 130 ° C., the sintering between the metal nanoparticles became insufficient and the protective agent was fired. It is difficult to desorb or decompose (separate / combust) due to the heat of heat, so that a lot of organic residue remains in the electrode after firing, and this residue is altered or deteriorated, resulting in a decrease in conductivity and reflectance. This is because the production advantage of the low-temperature process cannot be utilized, that is, the manufacturing cost increases and the productivity decreases. Furthermore, the firing time of the dispersion film formed on the base material was limited to the range of 10 minutes to 1 hour because the sintering of the metal nanoparticles became insufficient and the firing of the protective agent in less than 10 minutes. Due to the difficulty of desorption or decomposition (separation / combustion) due to the heat of the time, a lot of organic residue remains in the electrode after firing, the residue is altered or deteriorated, and the conductivity and reflectivity of the electrode decrease, This is because, if the time exceeds 1 hour, the characteristics are not affected, but the manufacturing cost is increased more than necessary and the productivity is lowered.

上記太陽電池の電極形成用組成物では、一次粒径10〜50nmとサイズの比較的大きい金属ナノ粒子を多く含むため、金属ナノ粒子の比表面積が減少し、保護剤の占める割合が小さくなる。この結果、上記組成物を用いて太陽電池の電極を形成すると、上記保護剤中の有機分子が焼成時の熱により脱離し又は分解し、或いは離脱しかつ分解することにより、実質的に有機物を含有しない銀を主成分とする電極が得られる。従って、上記電極の形成された太陽電池を長年使用しても、有機物が変質又は劣化するということがなく、電極の導電率及び反射率が高い状態に維持されるので、経年安定性に優れた電極を得ることができる。具体的には、上記電極を、温度を100℃に保ちかつ湿度を50%に保った恒温恒湿槽に1000時間収容した後であっても、波長750〜1500nmの電磁波、即ち可視光領域から赤外線領域までの電磁波を80%以上電極により反射できるとともに、電極の導電性、即ち電極の体積抵抗率を2×10-5Ω・cm(20×10-6Ω・cm)未満と極めて低い値に維持できる。このようにして形成された電極を用いた太陽電池は、長年使用しても高導電率及び高反射率を維持することができ、経年安定性に優れる。 Since the composition for forming an electrode of the solar cell contains a large amount of metal nanoparticles having a primary particle size of 10 to 50 nm and a relatively large size, the specific surface area of the metal nanoparticles is reduced and the proportion of the protective agent is reduced. As a result, when an electrode of a solar cell is formed using the composition, the organic molecules in the protective agent are desorbed or decomposed by the heat at the time of firing, or desorbed and decomposed, thereby substantially reducing the organic matter. An electrode composed mainly of silver not containing is obtained. Therefore, even if the solar cell on which the electrode is formed is used for many years, the organic matter is not deteriorated or deteriorated, and the conductivity and reflectivity of the electrode are maintained in a high state, so that the aging stability is excellent. An electrode can be obtained. Specifically, even after the electrode is accommodated for 1000 hours in a constant temperature and humidity chamber maintained at a temperature of 100 ° C. and a humidity of 50%, the electromagnetic wave having a wavelength of 750 to 1500 nm, that is, from the visible light region. Electromagnetic waves up to the infrared region can be reflected by 80% or more by the electrode, and the conductivity of the electrode, that is, the volume resistivity of the electrode is extremely low, less than 2 × 10 −5 Ω · cm (20 × 10 −6 Ω · cm). Can be maintained. The solar cell using the electrode formed in this way can maintain high conductivity and high reflectance even when used for many years, and is excellent in aging stability.

表3及び表4から明らかなように、比較例1及び3では、焼成直後、即ち耐候性試験前の電極の反射率は80%以上でありかつ体積抵抗率は20×10-6Ω・cm未満であり、初期特性は十分に満足するものであったけれども、耐候性試験を行った後は、電極の反射率及び体積抵抗率が低下(経年劣化)して不良となった。その他の比較例では、耐候性試験前の電極の反射率又は体積抵抗率のいずれか一方又は両方において不十分であり、耐候性試験後の電極の反射率及び体積抵抗率も不良となった。これらに対し、実施例では、耐候性試験前及び耐候性試験後のいずれであっても、電極の反射率が80%以上でありかつ体積抵抗率が20×10-6Ω・cm未満であり、耐候性試験前の初期特性も耐候性も十分に満足するものとなった。
Figure 2012147014
As is apparent from Tables 3 and 4, in Comparative Examples 1 and 3, the reflectivity of the electrode immediately after firing, that is, before the weather resistance test, is 80% or more and the volume resistivity is 20 × 10 −6 Ω · cm. Although the initial characteristics were sufficiently satisfactory, after the weather resistance test, the reflectivity and volume resistivity of the electrode decreased (deteriorated over time), resulting in failure. In other comparative examples, either or both of the reflectance and volume resistivity of the electrode before the weather resistance test were insufficient, and the reflectance and volume resistivity of the electrode after the weather resistance test were also poor. On the other hand, in the examples, the reflectance of the electrode is 80% or more and the volume resistivity is less than 20 × 10 −6 Ω · cm, both before and after the weather resistance test. The initial characteristics and weather resistance before the weather resistance test were sufficiently satisfied.
