Abstract
Photovoltaic glass ink is a kind of ink used for the photovoltaic glass backplane to enhance the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells. In this work, a novel kind of photovoltaic glass-ceramic ink, with Bi2Ti2O7 nanocrystals precipitated from the low-melting glass for the first time in the short sintering process, was successfully designed and prepared to further improve the reflectance of near-infrared light. Bi2Ti2O7 nanocrystals fill the gap between TiO2 color pigments to a certain extent, which reduce the diffraction of light and greatly improve the reflectivity of the photovoltaic glass backplane to near-infrared light. In the near-infrared wavelength range (780–2500 nm), the average reflectance of photovoltaic glass ink with Bi2Ti2O7 nanocrystals is 20.6% higher than that without Bi2Ti2O7 nanocrystals. The maximum reflectance of photovoltaic glass-ceramic ink is 86.18%. Our research and findings have provided an important reference point for future development of photovoltaic glass inks.
