Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a Material Science lab.

Monch G. Bhavadi, sitting at the desk, is drinking coffee and browsing the new articles on Arxiv.

As a big cow in the field of nanochemistry, this big cockroach has recently become the limelight.

Not long ago, the journal “ACS-Nano” published his research on PbS quantum dot thin-film solar cells, which attracted widespread attention from Silicon Valley high-tech companies.

Although this technology is still a long way from being accepted by the industry, its potential is already quite “black technology”.

Many people have commented that the distance between him and the Nobel Prize is only a commercialization of quantum dot technology. When the quantum dot technology is really popular and changes this world, then the Nobel Prize is not far off.

This day may be ten years later, maybe twenty years later, it will not be too far away. The industry has begun to accept these technologies slowly, and it is expected that this technology will be used first on displays and will eventually change the face of the semiconductor industry in the future.

But no matter how far away from real commercialization, he has owned four companies through the technology. Other Professors may be worried about research funding, but he has become a real Boss, and he is experimenting with himself.

Just then, in his mailbox, he suddenly received an email from Nature.

“Lithium dendrites?”

Looking at the mail on the screen, the Bwandi Professor eyebrows provoked a certain expression of interest.

Touching his chin, he turned back and shouted at his assistant. “Lattis, help me get a sandwich.”

“Okay, Professor.”

The beautiful woman in white coat got up and went outside, and soon the sandwich with bacon was sent over.

Sitting in front of the computer, the Bwindi Professor enjoys breakfast while continuing to follow the text on the mail.

To be honest, some people claim to have solved the problem of lithium dendrites. He does not believe it.

Although he is not a lithium battery, some people in his team have studied this piece, and he has also heard about it.

The best in this piece of research and development is probably Sion in the US and Oxis in the UK, but I haven’t heard any special progress recently. Samsung has been madly registering patents as always, but no one has seen them really make a big news.

To say the only “progress”, it may be that a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last year found that fixing sulfur in mesoporous carbon materials, combined with special electrolytes, can effectively inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites.

However, in the end, the facts prove that this is just a beautiful misunderstanding. If the lithium dendrites are so easy to solve, they have threatened to take the calculation of the calculation of each ion path to IBM, and will not drink and hate.

Back to this thesis, if this thesis is written by someone else, the Bwandi Professor may be thrown aside when he looks at it, but the problem is that the author of thesis is very interesting, although he is famous but not an electrode. The industry inside the materials field is the mathematics professor at Princeton University.

“Improve the ‘breathability’ of the negative electrode material through the PDMS material film, and inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites… This is not a novel idea. The performance on the SEM electron micrograph is surprising, and it is not quite like P. “”

“Calculating Material Science and this ability? It’s unheard of.”

In the image, the image of the negative electrode material according to several charge and discharge cycles shows that the negative electrode material located under the PDMS film does not form the deadly white tree shrew, but instead is a layer of mossy wrinkles, and with charging , layer by layer.

Then there is the discharge link. Since the surface of the entire negative electrode material is a layer of undulating mossy folds under the microscopic state, there is no so-called tip region, and after the discharge is finished, there is no large amount of dead lithium residue on the electrode. situation.

Undoubtedly, if there is no falsification, these results are absolutely breakthrough.

The only fly in the ointment is that those folds also affect the lifespan and performance of the battery, but this is negligible compared to the dendrites stuck on the bottleneck of the lithium battery technology.

The index finger tapped on the table and the Bwindi Professor thought for a long time.

Thesis is a good article, and the data and photograph evidence listed are not picking up, but because the breakthrough is so great that he is now in the same position as the editor of Nature.

I thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, Bhavadi’s teacher made a slight move and shouted back.

“Latis, I will send an experimental report to your mailbox in a moment. You let Isaac do it according to the experimental report. Remember to tell him that this is his experimental mission this week.”

“Good Professor.”

Get it done.

The corner of the Bwandi Professor evokes a smile.

Isaac is the master student he brought, and the research is exactly the direction of the battery.

The experiment itself is not too difficult, it can be tested within three days.

Although the general reviewer is not responsible for repeating the experiment, in order to satisfy his own curiosity, he decided to find a few master students to do it.

Anyway, he has the equipment, and the material can’t cost a few dollars.

If he really solved the lithium dendrites, then he can be seen as a witness to history.

……

Lu Zhou was not idle when Pediatrics peered on thesis in Nature Chemistry.

Three masters were summoned to his office again, this time Lu Zhou sent a list of books to everyone.

There are not many books listed above, only a total of six books.

However, he asked them to thoroughly understand the contents of these six books within one and a half months, that is, before 9.

At that time, he will ask questions from the contents of these six books to examine their learning.

For a student who has just completed his undergraduate degree, completing this job is definitely not an easy task, but it is not absolutely impossible. A lot of content they have been involved in the undergraduate stage, but did not go deep into it.

What Lu Zhou needs them to do now is the process from shallow to deep.

It is impossible to participate in his subject, it is impossible to pay a little sweat.

It is foreseeable that they will be very fulfilling this summer.

As the mission was laid down, it took a week for Lu Zhou, who was writing an opening report in the office, and suddenly received a call from China.

On the other side of the phone, Xiaotong shouted excitedly.

“Elder brother Elder brother! I am admitted!”

Hearing the excited and excited voice of Xiaotong, Lu Zhou lightly smiled.

“Congratulations!”

Xiaotong asked pitifully: “Elder brother, can I ask you something?”

Lu Zhou generously said: “Let’s say, what gift do you want? I will send it to you.”

Xiaotong shook his head and said pity: “I don’t want a gift, I just want to come to Princeton to find you!”

Upon hearing that the little guy didn’t want a gift, Lu Zhou suddenly fell.

“…Princeton has something to play with.”

There seems to be no particularly fascinating landscape except for a Carnegie Lake, at least in his opinion.

As for the rich academic atmosphere, it is not something that ordinary people can feel.

Xiaotong said with a sullen mood: “It’s too boring to stay at home, I want to go out and walk.”

Lu Zhou thought about it and thought it makes sense.

It’s a waste of life to put a vacation that is so easy and comfortable to play at home. It’s good to go out and walk, and it’s better to watch it out than to go out alone.

Lu Zhou: “That’s it… can I get a visa?”

See Elder brother Songkou, Xiaotong immediately said: “Of course, my passport has already been obtained! Go to Shanghai to apply for a visa the day after tomorrow!”

It turned out that this little guy had already planned it.

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

“That’s all, the ticket I bought for you, you just take the plane, here I pick you up.”

There was a cheer from Xiaotong on the other end of the phone.

“Yeah! The Elder brother is the best! Hey, what?”

“Rolling, less and my skin.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou smiled and placed the phone on the table.

Just then, he suddenly remembered one thing.

Speaking of it, I don’t know how Han Mengqi’s test is going.

Even though he hadn’t been a part-time job of private tutor, after all was the student he brought out, the job did help a lot, and Lu Zhou still cares about her situation.

After the college entrance examination was over, he had never asked her about her grades. Now that the admission notice has come down, he wants to know if she has admitted to her ideal university.

Open WeChat, Lu Zhou sent a message to the past.

[Is the admission notice received? 】

Very rare, he waited for a while and didn’t see a reply.

Thinking that she probably didn’t see it, Lu Zhou put the phone next to it.

I wish she had a college that was admitted to her ideals.

In the heart of a silent blessing, Lu Zhou temporarily put this matter aside and continued to work on his hands.
