Chapter 581: Why do I feel the junior brother is drawing a cake for us

After the applause stopped, Xu Qingzhou nodded to everyone and said: "Colleagues, colleagues: Hello everyone. Today is the first plenary meeting of our Kyoto Materials Research Institute. On behalf of the institute, I express a warm welcome to every partner who joins!"

"Materials science is the heavy weapon of the country and the cornerstone of high-end manufacturing. Our goal is very clear: to build a world-class laboratory..."

Xu Qingzhou's speech was concise, without so many official words, paused for a moment, and began to say the key points: "Our current research will focus on three major directions, lithium dendrites, shuttle effect, and superconducting thin films..."

Besides lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect, he had already written the plan for subsequent superconducting thin film experiments. If it goes well, maybe he can push the performance of superconducting thin films to Jc≥5×10A/cm, and significantly enhance radiation resistance and mechanical stability.

This is crucial for future nuclear fusion engineering.

Of course, nuclear fusion is not something that can be made by a superconducting thin film alone, for example, it needs to overcome extreme physical conditions of ultra-high temperature above 100 million degrees Celsius and high pressure and high density.

This is what requires Tokamaks/lasers, superconducting magnets, high-energy laser arrays, etc.

In short, extremely difficult, currently can only be used as a goal.

After the superconducting thin film plan was done, he didn't waste time, and threw the plan to Li Yi and a Jingda female PhD named "Gao Wenjin."

Plus this two-person team, the institute was divided into three research fields.

As for him, responsible for controlling the overall progress, just a brick, moved wherever needed.

He is only one person no matter how strong, impossible to be comprehensive, do everything himself, scientific breakthroughs need collective strength.

This is actually the model of the academic world.

A giant gets a topic, then splits it into n sub-topics for small cattle like Yangtze River Scholars. If the sub-topic is still relatively large, Yangtze River Scholars might split it to outstanding talents like Jieqing, and finally, to the bottom corporate slaves at the bottom of the pyramid.

"Our pressure is great."

Xu Qingzhou paused, looking at the eyes looking at him, and continued: "I believe everyone has seen relevant information, domestic and international competition is fierce, heroes compete for the deer. As a newly established research institution, wanting to achieve corner overtaking, leading the world..."

International top laboratories in the lithium dendrite research field, such as the US Argonne National Laboratory, Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology... these have already achieved representative results.

And in the shuttle effect research field, the US Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Germany's Max Planck Society Fritz Haber Institute, etc., also have breakthrough progress.

Of course, although these scientific research institutions have results, none of them have solved the essential problem.

After the meeting, Xu Qingzhou continued to have a meeting with Zhao Shengwen and Zheng Xu, while other researchers were free to move, waiting for leaders to arrange tasks.

Gong Yunfei scratched his head, turned to talk to Wang Wei: "Nuclear fusion... why do I still feel the junior brother is drawing a cake for us."

Can such a mysterious thing really be made?

"This is a great pursuit of science, Old Gong, your consciousness still needs to be improved."

Wang Wei put away his notebook.

"..."

"Weige, didn't we say not to call nicknames?"

Mutual damage, right, come on.

"..."

Wang Wei's mouth twitched.

Next door, Hong Yayu quietly packed up her meeting notebook, accustomed to the conversation between the two people beside her.

Wang Wei didn't joke anymore, said in a deep voice: "I feel a bit hanging, we have high-parameter laser nuclear fusion devices ourselves, although the performance is worse, but can barely use, steady-state burning plasma experimental piles are also under construction, but there is no way for non-Tokamak path experimental devices, stellarators and reversed field pinch devices don't even have a ghost shadow."

"Xia Keda and Southwest Jiaotong University actually have similar designs."

Hong Yayu added.

Wang Wei nodded, said: "Exactly, I also paid attention to this news, but as far as I know, they are still in the development stage, don't know when they can be used."

Actually, most people in the institute feel a bit hanging. Nuclear fusion is really a bit far from everyone, even the international thermonuclear experimental pile built by the power of the world is still ten thousand miles away from real commercial use.

Just when the two young people sighed, Hong Yayu suddenly said, "Maybe... can succeed."

"Seems... no problem."

Wang Wei and Gong Yunfei looked at each other, this former Xu Xu Shidi Xu created many miracles.

August 28th.

Zero Point Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established, Song Yao served as CEO, and the company had a total of 27 people.

Song Yao had arranged for people to sign patent agreements with major companies.

Because it is not like GE, the domestic authorized companies are extensive, so it is much cheaper, but at least there is an income of 1 billion.

There is absolutely no pressure on the institute's funds.

And on the last day of August, Xu Qingzhou, Zhao Shengwen, and Zheng Xu came to the conference room to dock experimental plans.

Zhao Shengwen first said his group's arrangement: "Group A will continue to experiment according to your direction at MIT, iterate according to existing mathematical models, and can enter the thin film design stage within two months, but mathematics might still need you to take action."

"No problem."

Xu Qingzhou nodded slightly, the institute currently has 6 mathematical experts responsible for daily calculation support.

As for him, just be a killer.

"Group B will proceed in synergy according to Group A data, the first stage first carries out sulfur positive electrode modification, limiting polysulfide dissolution through high-conductivity sulfur carriers, reducing the corrosion of electrolyte side reactions to lithium negative electrodes..."

Zhao Shengwen continued to report the complete experimental plan formed by each small group.

The lithium dendrite experimental group is divided into two small groups, Group A continues Xu Qingzhou's experiment, that is, lithium-ion batteries, technology is relatively mature, can verify the effectiveness of corresponding technology in suppressing lithium precipitation under high rate and low temperature.

Group B is responsible for lithium-sulfur battery experiments. In the whole experiment, the dendrite problem of lithium-sulfur batteries is more essential and urgent, but with current technology, the preparation difficulty is relatively large, positive and negative electrodes, electrolyte, diaphragm, etc., every part has difficult problems waiting to be solved.

The data of Group A experiments is crucial for the lithium-sulfur battery group.

And the shuttle effect experimental group led by Zheng Xu will proceed in synergy from three directions: material modification, diaphragm optimization, and electrolyte regulation.

Zheng Xu first reported the small group situation generally.

Xu Qingzhou spent four days reading all the plans, and said to Zheng Xu: "Your Group A, I think you can introduce black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) on the basis of TiON quantum dots to form a heterojunction."

Zheng Xu wrote down what Xu Qingzhou said, thought for a moment, and showed an admiring look, "Hmm, technically feasible, synergistic catalysis makes coulombic efficiency increase to >99.8%, I will let them modify it when I go back."

"In addition, you can try Ni-doped FeO matrix materials, embedding Ni@FeO nanoparticles into MXene interlayers..."
