"You want to borrow a lab?"


When Professor Li heard Lu Zhou's request over the phone, he analyzed the carbon nanomaterial material in the laboratory.


Lu Zhou held the phone in his ear as he said, “Yes, I found something interesting while reading the thesis. I want to use a lab, and I need a homogenizer and a digital microscope. "


Obviously, he had made an excuse. Although he had a good relationship with Professor Li, they were not so close.


However, the value of this discovery cannot be measured by the SCI thesis.


Especially for someone who wants to monetize this discovery ...


"Alright then, I'll talk to the lab director. You can use Lab 304. Find Professor Wang Xianfu. ”


Professor Li wanted to know why Lu Zhou needed to conduct this kind of experiment, but he did not ask. Instead, he easily agreed to her request.


If someone else asked to borrow this type of equipment, he would hesitate and might even refuse. However, Lu Zhou was different in that he had helped the professor a lot in that last thesis.


It was a one billion yuan project, and not to mention, as a shareholder of Zhongshan New Material, he was a direct beneficiary.


This was just a small favor that he was happy to help with.


Lu Zhou was almost embarrassed to see Professor Li agree so easily.


If I knew that this old man was very good, I would just ask for an SEM scanning electron microscope instead ...


"There again?" Professor Li asked when he saw that Lu Zhou was not speaking.


Lu Zhou shook his head, "No, thank you, professor."


"Are you okay doing your own experiments? Do you want Qian Zhongming to help you? "


Lu Zhou said, “No, thank you. I want to do it myself. "


Naturally, he would not need any help.


Brother Qian will instantly see through his actions.


From the design of the experiment to how it was done, Lu Zhou would not be able to explain anything to him.


He had to do this experiment with his own hands.


"Well then, try not to ruin anything."


Lu Zhou knew that Professor Li was joking, so he smiled and said, “ Rest assured! I won't ruin anything! "


...


After Lu Zhou took the key to Lab 304 from Professor Wang, he was finally able to start the next procedure.


From the reverse scanner technology, the key to solving the lithium dendrite growth problem is in the treatment of polydimethylsiloxane material.


To solve this problem, he designed two experiments.


However, the key problem remains in the processing of PDMS materials.


Untreated PDMS materials, even if coated in copper sheets, are of no use at all. Lithium dendrite is still going to explode.


Materials science and mathematics are different. The former required countless experiments and huge investments. The latter only needed pen and paper. Most of the mathematical research funds are used for travel expenses.


Lu Zhou thought all day and he was still unable to find a good solution. Finally, he decided to spend 500 common points to ask the system for help.


He saw his general points drop back to 1975.


This thing is expensive. 500 points is common only for PDMS material processing methods.


The general points required for the whole battery technology may be able to “buy” alleged Goldbach.


After three days and countless failures, Lu Zhou finally managed to prepare quality PDMS materials. A yellow gel box candle.


It looks like honey and has a jelly texture. On the surface, it doesn't look like anything special, but when he puts it under a microscope, it doesn't look like ordinary liquid polydimethylsiloxane.


Lu Zhou could not bathe in this victory for a long time, so he quickly prepared a rectangular copper foil from the glue machine. He also began preparing the next step to make the electrode material.


Spin coats!


The spin layer depends on the centrifugal force and the gravitational force generated by the rotation of the workpiece. This will actually spread the coating droplets to the surface of the workpiece.


Technically, the operation was very demanding.


An uneven coating can mean that lithium ions will not form on the negative electrode material.


Although Lu Zhou had experience with spin plating, he still failed many times.


After a few hours, he finally managed to get a copper foil uniformly coated with PDMS nanopore film.


When Lu Zhou saw the copper paper, he could not help but think.


I could probably sell this for hundreds of millions of yuan, right?


Lu Zhou packed the remaining PDMS samples and materials.


There is only one more step and that is to make the battery simple.


He had to test the performance of this film to see if it was as magical as he thought.


Lu Zhou saw Brother Qian's demonstration earlier, so he was basically familiar with the operation.


In another laboratory, Lu Zhou wore a white scientist's robe before he placed his hands into a glove box filled with argon. He then carefully fixed the copper paper onto the battery mold.


The fastener is sodium carboxymethylcellulose and styrene-butadiene rubber, the current collector is aluminum foil, and the positive active ingredient is still LiFePO4 commonly found in lithium-ion batteries used today!


For the diaphragm, Lu Zhou used the three-layer Celgard 2325 composite diaphragm.


There are only minor changes to the battery.


As soon as Lu Zhou finished the meeting, he felt proud of himself. He then carefully took a sample from the box and closed the valve.


He then sighed in relief as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.


"Done!"


When he looked at the sample in his hand, he was really excited.


He did not expect this piety.


Yes, godliness.


As a scientist, he devoted himself to science.


This technology likely originated from a civilization far more advanced than Earth.


Maybe it came from the Star Trek warship ...


No matter where it came from, this precious rubble was in his hands.


Lu Zhou took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He then placed a sample of the battery into a Bk-6808 battery charger before he carefully placed it under a digital microscope.


Now all he has to do is wait.


Hopefully the results will not disappoint.


Lu Zhou set a photo timer of 10 minutes and turned on the battery tester. He then retrieved Polignac's alleged research documents and secretly began reading.
