Chapter 662: Sitting on the cold bench? That

~4 min read 771 words

Early the next morning.

Jia Zhixian looks at Ding Daoyong, who is sitting at his workstation just like last night, and is shocked: "Old Ding, don't tell me you didn't sleep all night!"

"Slept on the table for four hours."

Ding Daoyong's tone is excited, saying: "I discovered sulfur-ether complexes and self-assembled nanoclusters in the waste liquid!"

"It really is this thing."

Jia Zhixian looks at the report, somewhat surprised.

Turning his head, looking at Ding Daoyong's excited appearance, his expression is strange: "You don't want to do this, do you?"

"Yes."

Ding Daoyong nods heavily.

Jia Zhixian looks at it and can't help but say: "Have you ever thought that there is a redox potential difference between self-assembled nanoclusters and the lithiation or delithiation process of sulfur positive electrodes, and it doesn't match our solid electrolyte interface (SEI) dynamics? In addition, its catalyst inactivation and structural degradation after long-term cycle performance decay... I won't list others. In short, no matter how you look at this, there is no future."

"I have thought about it, but I just want to figure out its mechanism." Ding Daoyong says seriously.

Jia Zhixian: "Old Ding, at our age, it's the time when we need to produce results. This one of yours is a bit niche and a pure waste of time. It's better to choose a mature topic; as long as you do it, you can produce results."

"Doing research requires being able to sit on a cold bench..."

"If you really believe this, you're a fool. This is obviously said to those old guys; they have money and time. We only have these few years now, and we don't have time to waste."

"I'll look at this again."

The experiment is busier than expected.

Xu Qingzhou goes out early and returns late, and most of the time he even soaks directly in the research institute.

April 12th, afternoon.

Xu Qingzhou rests simply for half an hour at noon and then gets up to prepare to look at the data just uploaded by the lithium dendrite group.

Currently, within half a month, Professor Zhao Shengwen and his team have two key research directions: sulfide solid electrolyte physical blocking dendrite penetration, manufacturing multifunctional diaphragm coatings, using MON quantum dot modified N-doped graphene, and achieving polysulfide adsorption (chemical binding energy OG = -1.8eV) and lithium-ion uniform regulation through a dual-functional interface layer.

His current work is mathematical analysis and technical integration path, seeing if he can find something different.

Mathematics turns abstract physical phenomena into visible symbols. By studying data, one can intuitively understand experimental details, and the final solution might be hidden among these data.

Xu Qingzhou's pen tip taps lightly, and he has already started writing on the manuscript.

He intends to use Morse theory and Riemann sets to construct a high-dimensional manifold of the ion migration potential energy surface, seeing if he can screen the lowest energy path through the path integral method.

Finally, he needs to run a combinatorial optimization algorithm designed based on Kolmogorov complexity theory to screen the synergistic optimal solution of sulfide lattice parameters and coating topology.

With supercomputing support, there is no need to worry about computing power at all.

Next, Xu Qingzhou spends two days designing the combinatorial optimization algorithm.

14th, Tuesday.

Brilliant sunlight shoots over from the south, penetrating the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows and falling into a corner of the office.

In front of the desk.

"Compared to sulfide solid electrolytes, the performance of diaphragm coatings is obviously superior, and it is also better than the effects of other materials."

Xu Qingzhou frowns slightly, "And, the experimental pain point of doped graphene diaphragms is insufficient mechanical stability, poor high-temperature stability, and discontinuous interface passivation layers. Damn, wanting to handle these difficulties is not simpler than solving the lithium dendrite problem."

Got it, a dead loop.

One is harder than the other.

Xu Qingzhou sighs helplessly and stares at the computer in a daze.

【At 80C, MON reacts with LiPF decomposition products to generate MoF(g), corroding the coating】

【N/S-doped graphene () LiPSS adsorption energy OG = -1.5eV】

2:00 PM.

Song Yao comes out of the lounge yawning. Seeing Xu Qingzhou sitting there foolishly, she walks over and hugs him from behind.

"No ideas?"

"Hmm, encountered some obstacles, seeing if I can think of a way out."

Xu Qingzhou nods and pulls Song Yao's hand to let her sit on his lap.

Although he made a three-chapter agreement with Song Yao not to be intimate outside, the office is an exception.

Even if assistant Wang Sidong comes in, he will knock on the door in advance.
