The evolution of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells, which currently dominate approximately 92 % of the market [1], hinges critically on advancements in metallization processes. The formation of metal contacts on solar cells introduces a complex interplay of resistive and recombination losses, primarily due to the inefficient metal/semiconductor (MS) interfaces [2].
Since the inception of silicon (Si) based solar cells, silver (Ag) has been the preferred metal for front gridlines due to its conductivity and compatibility with the n-type emitter. Unfortunately, the unstable price of Ag, as shown in Fig. 1, and the price ratio of copper (Cu)/Ag setting around 0.01 [1], has led to increased manufacturing costs.
