A paste with as low as 300°C sintering temperature was prepared by using nano silver particles and nitrocellulose ethyl acetate solution. The rheological and thixotropic behaviors of the typical paste were characterized and their effects on the screen printing ability were analyzed in details. The paste demonstrates a typical shear thinning rheological behavior and thixotropic of pseudoplastic fluid. The apparent viscosity decreased rapidly with the increase of the shear rate. The paste is proper for the manufacturing electrical components at a low sintering temperature as low as 300°C.

CoFe 2 O 4/ Pb ( Zr 0.53 Ti 0.47) O 3 (abbreviated as CFO/PZT) multiferroic composite thick films were successfully fabricated on alumina substrate with gold bottom electrode by screen printing method at a low-sintering temperature. The processing included the modification and dispersion of ferromagnetic CFO powder and ferroelectric PZT powder, the preparation of uniform pastes, and the selection of proper annealing temperature for composite thick films. Transmission electron microscopic pictures (TEM) indicated the submicron meter of particles size for both CFO and PZT particles. After annealing at 900°C for 1 h in air, tape test confirmed the quality of multiferroic thick films as well as pure CFO and PZT films. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed a coexistence of CFO and PZT phases; furthermore, a smooth surface was observed through scanning electron microscopic (SEM) pictures along with the sharp cross-sectional picture, indicative of 100 μm of film thickness. Ferromagnetic and ferroelectric properties were observed in CFO/PZT films simultaneously at room temperature. Compared with the reported CFO/PZT multiferrroic thin films, the present ferromagnetic property was closing to that of the chemical sol-gel synthesized film and even that from the physical pulsed laser deposition technique. However, the ferroelectric property showed a degenerated behavior, possible reasons for this was discussed and further optimization was also proposed for the potential multifunctional application.

A silver precursor (silver 2-ethylhexanoate) and silver nanoparticles were synthesized and used to prepare a low sintering temperature nano-silver paste (PM03). We optimized the amount of silver 2-ethylhexanoate added and the sintering temperature to obtain the best performance of the nano-silver paste. The relationship between the microstructures and properties of the paste was studied. The addition of silver 2-ethylhexanoate resulted in less porosity, leading to lower resistivity and higher shear strength. Thermal compression of the paste PM03 at 250 °C with 10 MPa pressure for 30 min was found to be the proper condition for copper-to-copper bonding. The resistivity was (3.50 ± 0.02) × 10−7 Ω∙m, and the shear strength was 57.48 MPa.

The purpose of the study is to characterize and improve the fundamental understanding of the effects of Ethyl Cellulose (EC) binder on the rheological properties of silver pastes for screen printing front electrode films of solar cells. Dispersions of silver particles (surface modified with oleic acid) in EC polymer solutions with and without thixotropic agent were prepared; and yield stress values were measured by setting shear stress to characterize the strength of interaction in pastes. Week flocculation network of silver particles is produced due to depletion of flocculation. EC polymer also has a significant interaction with thixotropic agent. Down-sweep flow curves of dispersions without thixotropic agent were measured and well fitted by Generalized Casson model. The model parameters p indicated that EC polymer with high molecular weight has a stronger shear-thinning ability. Steady-state flow, three interval thixotropy shear test (3ITT) and oscillatory measurements were conducted to study the effect of EC content on viscosity, structure rebuilding and viscoelastic properties of electrode pastes. Increasing EC polymer is not the best way to prevent the layer printed from laying down.
