[1] THE SCHOLAR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM (END)
Chapter 182: Scientist
Translator: Translated Henyee Editor: Translated Henyee
Lu Zhou had obviously heard of him because the old man was so famous.
It was no exaggeration to say that Professor Qiu was a leading figure in the Chinese mathematical world.
He was comparable to the likes of Hua Luogeng and Chen Shengshen.
PhD at age 22, associate professor at 25, broke the Calabi Conjecture at 27, won the Fields Medal at age 34 ... It feels like this guy is hacking in real life.
This academic achievement makes him one of the most influential mathematicians today. Its influence extends to areas such as topology, algebraic geometry, general relativity, and even high-energy physics!
The most famous is his proof of Calabi's conjecture, which directly laid the theoretical foundation of superstring theory in 1980.
In the world of theoretical physics, this old man is widely regarded as one of the founders of superstring theory.
Anyone in the field of mathematics knew about this god. Even people in the field of theoretical physics know him.
However, Professor Qiu was usually very busy, so it was difficult to see him.
On the other hand, one can gain a lot from just a short conversation with him.
Therefore, when Lu Zhou heard that Professor Lu had brought him to meet Professor Qiu, he immediately asked, "When are we going to Beijing?"
Professor Lu smiled and said, "Around October."
"..."
Then why are you telling me this now?
Lu Zhou was silent.
When Professor Lu saw that Lu Zhou was not speaking, he said, "I don't have many projects for you to do right now, so study by yourself. I'm not talking much about mathematics, but for quantum chromodynamics, you still have a lot to learn. I've sent the class schedule to your email. If you want to graduate this year, work hard and go to those classes. I'll test you at the end of this semester. The exam syllabus is the class I sent you to. ”
When Lu Zhou heard the vast scope of this syllabus, he said, "Professor, this syllabus is a bit too vague."
Professor Lu smiled and said, “What are you afraid of? Believe in yourself!"
...
He had to study hard for quantum chromodynamics, but he had to do something else first.
After Lu Zhou left Professor Lu's office, he didn't get along. Instead, he returned to his dorm and sat down in front of his laptop. He began to research the data from the scanner gun.
He did not know how these batteries were produced because the technology was much more advanced than its time.
Putting aside the negative electrode material, even the "oxygen screening diaphragm" in addition to the battery cannot be produced with current technology.
Even if Lu Zhou knew the structure and parameters of the material, he could not just put this information online and hope that others could build it. There is no laboratory in the world that can make a diaphragm this thin.
Even if he solved the lithium dendrite problem, without this diaphragm, he could not make a lithium-air battery.
Everyone knows that lithium will not only react with oxygen, but will also react with nitrogen in the air to form lithium nitride crystals that are difficult to reduce. If water vapor leaked, there would be a violent explosion.
The Japanese are ambitious in this regard, but they have not yet found a solution.
If one can solve the problem of gas filtration, an oxygen tank can be mounted on a lithium-ion battery and this can potentially power the car.
After some thorough research, Lu Zhou was convinced that this battery was the legendary lithium-air battery.
The positive electrode is a gas chamber covered by a gas filtration membrane, and the negative electrode is a lithium negative electrode material encapsulated by the electrolyte. However, the electrolyte does not leak at all, and the negative electrode material has been completely transformed into lithium oxide.
The design structure is simple and clear, but even though people have the design model, no one can make it. This is because while technical difficulties are all in the details, most issues concern the material.
Lu Zhou tried searching online for plastic in the battery, and could not even find anything.
Fortunately, the materials needed to protect the lithium negative electrode and prevent the growth of lithium dendrites are nothing too special. Lu Zhou thought it was unbreakable.
Lu Zhou looked at the piece of copper paper under the fully oxidized lithium anode.
Of course, copper paper is not the key to preventing lithium dendrites. The key is a modified PDMS 1 nanoporous film that covers copper paper.
There is nothing special about PDMS material. It is called polydimethylsiloxane, which can be found in skin care products. The nanopore structure of PDMS is key to solving "breathing problems".
As for the non-porous film made from PDMS, Lu Zhou surmised that it was made by rotating it with hydrofluoric acid.
When Lu Zhou looked at the specially treated hollow carbon nanosphere under the PDMS film, he suspected that this carbon nanosphere balanced the growth of lithium dendrites.
After about half an hour of playing on his laptop, Lu Zhou leaned back in his chair and sighed, "This task is difficult!"
Even my 20,000 yuan computer can't handle this ... I guess I had to rely on a professional computer to process this data.
He plans to build a laboratory near Jin Ling University to study this gadget. He would then hire a large group of graduate students and PhD students to work for him. Then, he could even make Xiao Ai delegate jobs to these students.
However, right now, there were more important things waiting for him.
Lu Zhou took out a piece of A4 paper from his desk and wrote two things on it. He then circled the words "PDMS film" and "carbon nanoball".
He plans to register patents for these two things. After that, he would register a patent for both as a whole and call it "the L1 anode material".
If he had the time, he could even know the production process and patent the industrial production process. Even if he did not produce his own battery, he could still sell it to others for a profit.
However, Lu Zhou did not choose to do this.
First of all, this design and production was beyond his means. Also, he knew that as a scientific researcher, the fight was in the lab, not in the mall or the factory.
As for how to send this technology to market, it will leave it to the professional engineers to design. He would hand over easy work to ordinary people.
It is neither necessary nor efficient to regulate factory production.
Factory production and research products are two different things. He is much better at researching products.
However, it is not easy to get patent fees.
He knew that he would at least have to recreate these batteries in his lab.
Otherwise, he would not be able to explain much in his patent.
It's part of the design experiment.
Once he completed the design experiment, he could happily register his patent.
He will then contribute to society!
