Chapter 589: Aren't you only good at fisticuffs?

The meeting lasted for two hours.

Currently, the overall direction of each experimental group at the institute was also very clear.

First is the electrolyte problem, determining more efficient raw materials.

Second is electrolyte modification, gradually suppressing the reaction pathways in the electrolyte when dendrite nucleation and reconstruction phenomena appear.

Third is the interface engineering just mentioned, constructing artificial membranes and doing interlayer design to slow down pore growth in various parts.

Fourth, diaphragm function optimization based on the above work.

The final goal, of course, is to completely solve the lithium dendrite and shuttle effect problems, and before that, it is necessary to first bring the battery's function to its best state.

There is a good saying in Zhuangzi's "Horses' Hooves": "Those who treat jade must first manage its raw state."

Jade must first be polished into a perfect embryo, and then a skilled craftsman must solve the flaws and carve the details. Scientific research must first construct an ideal sample, and then specifically correct errors.

To a certain extent, it can be said that even if the final goal is not reached, the entire research will definitely not be in vain. During the trial period, there will inevitably be certain patents, such as improved electrolytes, diaphragms, and the like.

Lithium metal undergoes volume changes of up to 76% during charging and discharging, leading to electrode structure cracking and stress concentration.

Xu Qingzhou looked at the time, and seeing it was already 5:00 PM, he finished the summary simply and said, "Okay, the meeting ends here for today. Everyone has worked hard these past few days; rest well over the weekend."

Zheng Xu sought his opinion: "Professor Xu, why don't I take people to make the samples over the weekend?"

Just now, everyone discussed the technology of constructing a LiF/GO composite artificial SEI layer, and Zheng Xu felt it could also be used for the lithium-sulfur battery group.

Hu Jingxuan, the group leader in charge of this area, also said, "Yes, Professor, we can make it over the weekend."

Xu Qingzhou shook his head: "Scientific research is not something to be rushed. Having a sense of crisis is a good thing, but everyone has been working continuously for over ten days, and you can't always keep a string taut. Efficient work requires a clear brain."

Hu Jingxuan, the only female group leader, was also a research fanatic.

For researchers, not being able to try a new technology placed in front of them is an incomparably painful thing.

Zheng Xu also knew he was being too hasty and nodded slightly.

The discussion ended, and Xu Qingzhou greeted everyone and left first.

Zhao Shengwen walked up to Zheng Xu and said with a smile, "Old Zheng, shall we go eat together?"

"Okay."

The two walked toward the cafeteria together.

Zhao Shengwen quite appreciated Zheng Xu; he had technology, knowledge, and was humble and frank.

In the cafeteria, the two discussed the afternoon's plan simply again.

As they finished eating and were leaving, Zhao Shengwen couldn't help but say, "Old Zheng, when we do research and see a new technology, we often want to dive in headfirst, striving to be the most precise and detailed. This is a common problem for technical personnel, but I am a few years older than you... Experience, especially in family aspects, might be a bit more."

"Sometimes, you still have to take time to accompany your family. Family is also a part of scientific research."

Zheng Xu was a talent, and Zhao Shengwen didn't want to see such a person affected by family trivialities.

"I know, thank you."

Zheng Xu sighed and nodded with a bitter smile.

His family had indeed encountered some small problems.

Running from Guangzhou to Kyoto, his family didn't support it, and he even had a fight with his wife over it.

When he went back during the National Day, his parents were also nagging in his ear, saying he was rash in his actions, leaving a whole family behind to run to a place thousands of kilometers away.

Walking out of the cafeteria.

Zheng Xu took out his phone and clicked on his wife's number in the call log.

"Jinglin... Hmm, I just finished eating and suddenly wanted to call you... You are at the Capital Airport now?! I'll come pick you up right away!"

On the other side.

Xu Qingzhou looked at the girl in the office. "Why did you come over?"

"Worried that you wouldn't find your way home."

Song Yao said, resting her chin on her hand.

"..."

Xu Qingzhou had already felt the small resentment in Song Yao's tone, coughed dryly, and walked over. "It's not that I suddenly encountered something and got busy..." ===== CHAPTER 590 =====
