  • Patent number: 11600788
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a ternary polymer solar cell. A photoactive layer of the ternary polymer solar cell includes two non-fullerene electron acceptors with large planarity. The weight percentage composition of the photoactive layer in the ternary polymer solar cell is: 41.6-50% of polymer electron donor, 0-50% of polymer electron acceptor, and 0-50% of non-fullerene perylene diimide (PDI) electron acceptor. The non-fullerene PDI electron acceptor is added into the photoactive layer to broaden the spectral absorption of the photoactive layer, improve the phase separation of the photoactive layer and inhibit the recombination of bimolecular charges, resulting in more efficient generation and transport of charges, thereby increasing a short-circuit current density of the ternary polymer solar cell device, and finally improving the power conversion efficiency of the ternary polymer solar cell device. Moreover, a new direction is provided for the selection of the all-polymer non-fullerene acceptor.

  • Patent number: 11223284
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for determining a primary switching event in an isolated converter having a primary-side and a secondary-side. The system includes a primary-switch (PS) on the primary-side, a synchronous rectifier (SR) on the secondary-side, an integration circuit, and a SR controller. The integration circuit is in signal communication with the SR on the secondary-side and the SR controller is in signal communication with the SR and the integration circuit. The SR is configured to produce a drain-to-source voltage (VDS) and the integration circuit is configured to integrate a difference between the VDS and a output voltage (VOut) (produced by the secondary-side) over time to produce a VDS over time value (VTime). The SR controller is configured to determine if the VDS is greater than a first threshold voltage (VTH) and determine the primary switching event when the VTime is greater than a second threshold voltage (VSTH).
