Description
Photovoltaic silver paste can be used in the production of photovoltaic cells; this dataset includes primary raw and auxiliary material consumption, energy use, atmospheric emissions, and waste from the production process. Infrastructure such as manufacturing of production equipment and construction of facilities are not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data from multiple sources. The production process of photovoltaic silver paste includes the solvent vehicle production process (procedures such as feeding, mixing, discharging, and grinding) and the solar electronic paste production process (procedures such as feeding, mixing, grinding, filtering, and testing).
Activity Description
The production process of photovoltaic silver paste includes solvent carrier production process (steps such as feeding, mixing, discharging, and grinding) and solar electronic paste production process (steps such as feeding, mixing, grinding, filtering, and testing).
Process Description
Photovoltaic silver paste is a uniform paste formed by mixing high-purity silver powder as the conductive functional phase, glass oxide as the binder phase, and an organic carrier, then stirred and rolled using a three-roll mill. It can be used in the production of photovoltaic cells.
