Chapter 683: The shuttle effect will also become history
July is very hot, and August is even hotter.
Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao were also busy running around, until August 5th, Song Yao's birthday, when the two finally rested for two days.
Time also accelerated in the busyness, and in the blink of an eye, it was mid-August.
Inside the research institute.
"This damn weather—air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and watermelon are the only correct ways to spend midsummer."
Xu Qingzhou grumbled as he headed toward Zheng Xu's side. It was 2:00 PM, and the sun was particularly scorching; he started sweating after walking just a few steps outside.
"However, once August passes and autumn arrives, the temperature should drop."
"Yesterday's test results should be out by now. If the n/b/p/s four-doping system doesn't work well... then there really aren't any new ideas left."
Last month, after confirming that layered doping was possible and effective, they had spent this time adding fluorine (F) doping, phosphorus doping, sulfur doping, selenium, oxygen (O) doping, and other elements to the original nitrogen/boron co-doped carbon nanotubes.
Ultimately, they settled on two schemes: phosphorus doping + sulfur doping, and F/O/CO ternary co-doping.
The latter had already failed 5 days ago.
The former, however, had quite good results and the most hope for success. Today was the day the latest batch of sample data would be out.
Xu Qingzhou was thinking about the experiment as he stepped into the office.
Everyone from the Shuttle Effect Group was there.
But...
"Something's not right."
As soon as Xu Qingzhou entered, he noticed the atmosphere in the office was somewhat solemn. Zheng Xu was frowning, head down, staring at a report, and the other researchers were also silent—it was just... they looked quite busy.
Were the sample results unsatisfactory?
Before he could speak, a "bang" sounded in his ears.
Suddenly, colorful things drifted down through the air.
Gong Yunfei held a party popper and shouted excitedly, "Professor, we succeeded!"
In the office, the previously solemn atmosphere was instantly broken, and everyone stood up to applaud and cheer.
"..."
Xu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered; in this short time, he had roughly guessed the situation.
"We succeeded."
Zheng Xu walked over with a smile and handed the experimental report to Xu Qingzhou.
【Core Material Composition】
【Cathode Material—N/B/P/S Four-Doped CNTs Loaded with Sulfur】
【Separator Coating—TiON-TiO Nanocoating】
【Detection Item: LiPSS Free Concentration】
【Data Result: Not Detected (Detection Limit: 0.001ppm)】
【Detection Method: UV-Vis Spectroscopy + HPLC-MS】
This indicated that LiPSS was completely anchored or converted, with no diffusion into the electrolyte.
This meant that the long-standing problem of the shuttle effect had been thoroughly solved, or rather, the multi-dimensional synergistic mechanism had reduced the free concentration of LiPSS to below the detection limit (<0.001ppm), and the performance data had reached commercial standards.
That's right, it had been reduced to below the current detection limit of the machines.
Just because it couldn't be seen didn't mean it didn't exist.
Because LiPSS is an inevitable intermediate state of sulfur reduction to Li2S, completely eliminating the shuttle effect is only theoretically possible.
Let's put it this way: it's like 1 continuously divided by 2—the result will approach 0 but will never equal 0.
"Finally got it done."
After a long while, Xu Qingzhou let out a long breath, a smile appearing on his face; it was worth everyone's hard work over these past few months.
"Hehe, were you startled?"
Gong Yunfei smiled and leaned over, feeling the joy of finally having played a trick on Xu Qingzhou. ===== CHAPTER 684 =====
