Photovoltaic Cells In article 2100145 by Mohamed M. Hilali and co‐workers, it is shown that thick‐film electrode materials containing silver particles with nano‐scale surface asperities improves the shear storage modulus, aspect ratio, and geometry of solar cell metallization gridlines printed at high shear‐rates. This results in improved gridline optical redirection into the solar cell, which leads to an enhanced photocurrent and conversion efficiency of industrial photovoltaic cells.
