Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Sky first glimmers of light.

Lu Zhou, who didn’t know when he was asleep on the table, blinked and moved his stiff arm and stood up from the chair.

Then, the first thing he stood up was that he couldn’t wait to go to the digital microscope and check the sample under the microscope.

No explosions, no smoke.

Seeing that the sample was intact, Lu Zhou was happy, and then looked away towards the computer next to it, and took the photo as fast as a slide.

“It is!”

The fist was pinched, and he almost couldn’t resist cheering.

From yesterday afternoon to the present, he has done four sets of charge and discharge cycles, and there is no lithium dendrite!

The lithium ions flying to the negative electrode do not form a white tree ridge, but a layer of moss-like pleats are deposited under the PDMS material and stacked one on top of the other.

From the data on the BK-6808 rechargeable battery tester, not only the formation of lithium dendrites, but also the Coulomb efficiency is maintained at a fairly high level!

Good results made Lu Zhou unexpected.

He originally thought that at least the PDMS material and those carbon nanospheres had to be combined to completely solve the lithium dendrite problem. Unexpectedly, even if the PDMS material was pulled out alone, the effect was amazing.

As for the role of carbon nanospheres, Lu Zhou maintains previous speculations, in addition to accelerating the rate of lithium ion precipitation, presumably used to “level” the pleats under the PDMS material.

As for the mossy “pleats”, the effect on the performance of the battery is definitely there, but at least it is much better than the deadly lithium dendrite!

Less of those small balls, as the battery continues to charge and discharge, the wrinkling phenomenon is intensified, although it does not pierce the lithium dendrites, but the Coulomb cycle efficiency will certainly decline, making the battery lifespan lower.

Perhaps this is unacceptable for advanced civilizations, but for any company on Earth, this is simply negligible.

Under the premise of safety protection, do not lower the lifespan of the battery, do everything possible to improve the energy density of the battery, is the industry’s biggest pursuit!

It’s like someone else’s mobile phone is full of power to brush Weibo for a week, playing a week of games, and your mobile phone is full of video games for less than half a day, and the market is highly competitive.

Of course, this comparison may be a bit exaggerated. There are many factors that affect the performance of the battery. The specific battery life depends on how the battery and the microchip that controls the battery are designed. This part is difficult for Lu Zhou to intervene.

But there is no doubt that this new anode material will provide endless imagination for the entire industry!

Whether it is a lithium borate battery or a lithium manganese cobalt oxide battery widely used in the market, the negative electrode is mainly graphite. As for the lithium-sulfur battery that is still lying in the laboratory, it is even sung under the feet of the lithium dendrite father.

Therefore, Lu Zhou is very clear about what it means to be the result of his own half-month.

Deeply calling took a deep breath, he closed his eyes and meditated.

“system, what about those carbon nanospheres?”

System did not respond.

With his eyes open, Lu Zhou stared at the sample on the microscope and whispered softly.

“Sure enough?”

As he expected, the technology contained in the carbon nanospheres is beyond the level of his Material Science. Just like the diaphragm that screens the oxygen molecules, he has not yet had access to the information.

It doesn’t matter if it is not.

The data scanned from the wreckage number 1 is stored in his computer, and it is not necessarily something that depends on the system.

When his own laboratory is built, it is a matter of time to hire a group of researchers to help him work and restore the technology one by one.

Unplugged the power supply, Lu Zhou saved the battery sample under the microscope in a small box prepared in advance.

Then, he saved all the photos on the digital microscope and the data on the BK-6808 rechargeable battery tester to the USB flash drive. As for the original data on the device, he was completely destroyed.

After cleaning the lab and confirming that there was no “fun” left, Lu Zhou left the lab happily and returned the key to the king teacher who was in charge of managing the lab equipment.

Coincidentally, Lu Zhou ran into Senior Brother Qian when he went out.

When I saw Lu Zhou, Senior Brother Qian greeted him and said, “Is the experiment done?”

Lu Zhou said with a smile: “It’s done.”

Originally just took a photo, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of something, and stopped the Senior Brother Qian who was preparing to walk into the office.

“Right, are you studying electrode materials?”

In the second half of last year, when Lu Zhou was working on a project for Professor Li, he heard him talk about what topics related to electrode materials should be studied this year.

“Yes,” said Senior Brother Qian nodded, smiling and asking, “Is interested?”

Lu Zhou did not answer this question, but instead asked: “What are you guys?”

It’s not something that deserves to be kept secret. Senior Brother Qian replied in a chattering voice: “The cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries. The latest research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that sulfur is fixed in mesoporous carbon materials as a positive electrode material. It can effectively slow down the growth of the lithium dendrites of the negative electrode. As for the more specific things, I will not say more, and signed a confidentiality agreement. If you are interested, Professor Li will definitely welcome you to join our team.”

“Still forget it, Academician Lu saw me going to fish, I will not be happy.” Lu Zhou laughed, hesitated for a while, said, “And, I think this is not a good choice… the one you said I have seen, in fact, I am doing similar research.”

In the mind, he thought about the wording, Lu Zhou continued.

“But I think that if this discovery is so important, the research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is unlikely to be so easily sent to the journal, at least not so anxious.”

The technology that has been published cannot be patented because it would conflict with the “novelty” in national patent laws.

Although it is not excluded that unselfish researchers benefit the society, generally those laboratories with investment in enterprises (mainly engineering), for the results of high-value scientific research results, usually take the first registration patent protection research results, and then publish thesis Mode.

It’s not very reliable to throw it into the journal so easily, and similar things haven’t happened, even in the battery field.

Probably in 2011 year, the L-Archer research team of Cornell University published a paper on the aluminum ion battery in the JECS journal, and proposed a battery model in which the anode is made of the negative electrode V2O5, which was once used as a battery model. The “breakthrough” of the battery industry has been greatly reported, and even the highlight of the famous journal “Science”.

Is there any difficulty in making these people cheated? The final outcome is that this proved to be an oolong.

At the MRS conference, the Cornell University was swayed by a convincing data from a young man named Luke Reid, and there was no resilience…

Lu Zhou didn’t know if the research results of MIT were correct, but he knew that there is no future to study how to inhibit lithium dendrite growth from the cathode material.

Because, he has completely solved this problem.

Even, it is time to register a patent.

Senior Brother Qian shook his head and said: “Whether it is feasible, we will use experiments to test, and we can’t discuss anything in the mouth.”

When you heard Senior Brother Qian say this, Lu Zhou can only be lightly sighed, said with a smile.

“That… I wish you good luck.”

More things, he can’t reveal it anymore.

Even if you continue to say it, no one will believe it, but it will easily offend people. What’s more, many things can’t be explained at all, and they can only be diluted.

Out of the past, the reminder he can make can only be reached.

However, he does not have to worry about what kind of expression should be used to face the old Professor and two old teammates who have fought side by side after the thesis.

At the fastest, his patents will have to wait until next year before they can start writing thesis submission.

No accident, then he was already in Princeton.

Not sure, at that time, Professor Li has given up this unreliable topic, maybe?
