  • Publication number: 20210143664
    Abstract: A battery device includes a battery unit, a temperature port, a temperature sensitive component, a switch component and a battery management unit. The temperature sensitive component senses a temperature of the battery unit, and provides a temperature indication signal at the temperature port. The switch component is electrically connected to the temperature sensitive component. When the battery device operates abnormally, the battery management unit controls the switch component to make the switch component stop provision of the temperature indication signal at the temperature port.

  • Publication number: 20210043842
    Abstract: An electrode interface layer material is generated by using a modifier to react with polyethyleneimine, and the amine group on the polyethyleneimine is converted into an ammonium group by reacting with the modifier to form a zwitterionic polyethyleneimine. When an active layer containing a non-fullerene material is formed on the surface of the electrode interface layer, or when the surface of the electrode interface layer is contacted with a non-fullerene material, the possibility that the non-fullerene material is destroyed by the amine groups in the electrode interface layer can be reduced. In addition, the aforementioned electrode interface layer material or zwitterionic polymer is used for an organic photovoltaic device.
