  • Patent number: 10636540
    Abstract: In general, the present invention relates to an electro-conductive paste comprising an oxide additive and solar cells obtainable therefrom. More specifically, the present invention relates to electro-conductive pastes, solar cell precursors, processes for preparation of solar cells, solar cells and solar modules. The present invention relates to a conductive paste composition comprising the following paste constituents: a. at least about 70 wt. % Ag particles, based on the paste; b. a vehicle; c. a glass; d. an oxide additive comprising MI, MII, and O; wherein MI and MII are different; wherein MI is selected from the group consisting of: V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Ge, As, Sb, Se, Te, Pb and Bi; wherein MII is selected from the group consisting of: V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo, W, Ge, As, Sb, Se, Te, Pb, Bi, Mn, Ce, Zn, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba; wherein the oxide additive is crystalline according to electron back scattering diffraction (EBSD) measurement.
