"Judging from the calculation results, the energy density of solid-state batteries will be three times that of ordinary lithium batteries. However, in order to achieve marketization, we need to improve the generation efficiency and reduce production costs."
January 22, 2019, Jingzhou City, Institute of Advanced Mathematics, Jingzhou University.
Xu Yun sat at the desk in the office, holding a pen in his hand and looking down at the draft papers stacked on the table.
The whole person was deep in thought, muttering to himself.
The solid-state battery laboratory is under preparation. Taking advantage of this gap, he deliberately researched and analyzed the solid-state battery technology in his mind. When encountering problems, he would go to the library to look for information. In this way, when all the technologies are thoroughly understood and other specific experiments are carried out, the manufacturing of solid-state battery test products and the optimization of production methods can be completed very smoothly.
In addition, he has begun writing relevant academic papers and is ready to revolutionize the entire battery industry.
Different from traditional lithium-ion batteries, metal solid-state batteries use glass compounds made of metals such as lithium and sodium as conductive materials to replace the electrolyte of traditional lithium batteries.
Greatly improve the energy density of batteries.
Because of this, it is safer and has the characteristics of small size and high performance.
As the future direction of battery development, all-solid-state batteries have always been the research target of many industry companies and laboratories.
And some progress has been made in recent years.
However, in order to realize the marketization of all-solid-state batteries, the performance must be greatly improved while taking into account the cost.
Compared with traditional lithium electronic batteries, the production efficiency of all-solid-state batteries is relatively low, resulting in high costs and simply cannot be accepted by the market and industry.
Of course, Xu Yun does not need to worry too much about this problem. With the metal all-solid-state battery technology awarded by the mission, not only can he produce all-solid-state batteries with an energy density three times higher than lithium electronic batteries, but the new production method can also achieve efficiency and scale. change.
It is conceivable that when this kind of battery enters the market, it will cause turbulent changes in the industry.
There is bound to be a big reshuffle.
At this time, just when Xu Yun put down the pen in his hand, preparing to make a cup of tea and rest for a while to digest the calculations, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.
"good news."
"Xu Yun."
"Good news."
Xu Yun was certainly no stranger to this voice, but it was rare in Tang Yanshan for someone to arrive before the voice came.
Thinking of this, he quickly raised his eyes and looked towards the door.
"Professor Tang."
"What news makes you so happy?"
Soon Tang Yanshan's figure came into view. After receiving the water, he straightened up and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I am quite curious about the news in Tang Yanshankou.
Tang Yanshan didn't pass around his coat, he only had a gray sweater on him. It could be seen that he came directly after getting the news in the office.
"Don't you know yet?" Tang Yanshan was a little curious about Xu Yun's calm expression, so he subconsciously asked and walked directly to the computer next to him. He leaned over and quickly opened the website before beckoning: "You'd better come and take a look for yourself."
Xu Yun's curiosity was aroused by Tang Yanshan's move.
Then he walked over and looked at the screen.
Perhaps because he was ranked first, he saw his name on it at a glance.
"Is this...am I trending again?"
I muttered something out loud, and suddenly I didn't know what to say.
In the past two months, he has been very low-key. In addition to participating in the construction of the laboratory and the recruitment of relevant scientific researchers, he spent most of his time at the Institute of Advanced Mathematics studying battery technology.
The number of times I go shopping with Chen Shihe can only be counted on my fingers.
During this period, the company was in the news because of its relatively large actions, which caused heated discussions in the industry.
I really didn’t expect that before I had calmed down for a long time, I would inexplicably become a trending topic on the Internet.
There really wasn't any cooling time left for him.
Tang Yanshan saw that Xu Yun really didn't know the specific situation, so he stopped trying to keep it secret.
He took advantage of the situation and sat down on the chair next to him, not hiding the joy on his face.
"The Wolf Prize in Mathematics was announced today, and your name is on it."
Although there is no age limit for the Wolf Mathematics Prize, Tang Yanshan is still self-aware of himself. Now that he can see his students successfully win the Wolf Mathematics Prize, he has no regrets, not to mention the fact that he was not selected last year. Xu Yun was happy.
Xu Yun has been focusing on solid-state batteries during this period, and has basically forgotten about the announcement of the Wolf Prize in Mathematics.
However, this news did not cause too many disturbances in his heart.
Very simple.
It's only natural that he won the award.
As the proposer and prover of topological group theory, he has solved two world-wide mathematical problems, Hodge's conjecture and Goldbach's conjecture, and was awarded the Fields Medal by the International Mathematical Union.
Under such circumstances, if you still fail to win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics, then this prize can be replaced by the authoritative mathematics prize.
I'm afraid it may not be as valuable as the Gauss Prize or the Chen Shengshen Prize.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard another familiar shout outside.
"Congratulations, Xu Yun."
"Winning the Wolf Prize in Mathematics brings glory to our mathematics community."
"I guess the old guys at Imperial Capital and Qinghua University are so jealous that they are crushing their teeth with envy. They don't have such outstanding students."
Qin Xiangxin smiled all over his face, and his face became more wrinkled when he mentioned acquaintances from the mathematics department of other universities.
It can be seen that he is in a good mood now.
After walking closer, he stopped and asked casually: "The award ceremony will be in a few days. When are you going to leave?"
Xu Yun had his own plan, and after hearing these words, he thought for a moment before responding.
"I may not have time to accept the award."
Right now, his energy is focused on the solid-state battery laboratory, and he still needs to be involved in many things.
Really can't leave.
What's more important is that I have to go to Israel to receive the award. I really don't have much thought about going there.
Unlike that time last year, his achievements in mathematics no longer need to be proven by awards.
So whether you receive it or not depends entirely on your mood.
What's more, the Wolf Prize in Mathematics has relatively small prize money, and even the medal is not made of gold.
When Qin Xiangxin heard Xu Yun's answer, his expression was startled for a moment, and then returned to normal.
"If you don't want to accept it, just accept it. I have forgotten that the Wolf Prize in Mathematics is of little use to you now. I guess the Wolf Foundation will also send the medal by mail by then and will not cancel your award. Eligibility for the award.”
He thought about Xu Yun's regretful failure to win the Wolf Prize in Mathematics last year, and now it makes sense not to accept the prize.
Young people.
How can you call yourself a young man if you are not full of energy?
Yesterday you were indifferent to me, but today I am making you unable to reach your heights.
For this reason, he did not persuade Xu Yun, but secreted his reaction to the Wolf Foundation based on his experience.
Xu Yun naturally didn't know what Qin Xiangxin was thinking, but being able to understand it saved him a lot of trouble.
While the two of them were talking, Tang Yanshan's attention was attracted by the draft papers piled on the table.
After taking a few glances, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
The next second he raised his head and looked at Xu Yun: "Why did you suddenly think of studying batteries during this time?"
"Isn't that why I didn't go to receive the award?"
He directly expressed his suspicions and wanted to confirm whether this was really the case.
"Battery?"
Qin Xiangxin lost his voice and repeated the sentence.
As the dean of the Department of Mathematics, his main research field is mathematics, and he does not know much about battery-related situations.
But soon he seemed to think of something again, and then mentioned another thing.
"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered. Did you research a new material some time ago? Academician Sun was full of praise for you, but when asked about the specific situation, he pretended to be deaf and dumb."
Xu Yun knew that Qin Xiangxin was talking about shaping fluorocarbon polymer coating materials.
It's just that this material has been classified as a key confidential technology, and you really won't know it unless you sign the relevant confidentiality documents.
After organizing his language a little, he explained briefly.
"nothing."
"It's just a military material."
He looked calm when he said this, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
But it was different when Qin Xiangxin heard the words.
You don't need to think about the importance of military materials that can be kept secret by academicians.
After calming down a little, I just felt very emotional.
"I didn't expect that I still underestimated your talent." He said these words with an extremely serious expression: "I thought you would become the greatest mathematician of this century, but now it seems that you are just the best mathematician in the world of mathematics. It’s just another stop in life.”
For Qin Xiangxin, Xu Yun showed very strong talent in mathematics.
He hopes that Xu Yun will win the Fields Medal in Mathematics and become an authoritative mathematician to lead the development of the domestic mathematics community.
It's already a pretty high rating.
But now it seems that this evaluation is not low at all.
Today, Xu Yun is no longer limited to theoretical mathematics, but is creating miracles in a broader field.
And overcome the stuck lidar technology to military materials listed as key technologies.
The Wolf Prize in Mathematics does not seem that important.
"Dean Qin, you are putting pressure on me, but without an understanding of mathematics, I cannot easily get involved in other fields."
Xu Yun responded humbly to Qin Xiangxin's compliment, then turned his attention to Tang Yanshan and answered truthfully.
"The company has recently established several new laboratories, including solid-state battery research, so I have paid more attention to them during this time."
"I have seen the news for a while, but I didn't expect it to be true." Tang Yanshan obviously knew about the laboratory and highly praised Xu Yun's approach: "This is a very good thing, not only can it retain the country's Excellent talents can also promote our technical voice."
When he first saw the relevant news, his first reaction was not to believe it. After all, as a professor, he knew very well the funds needed for the laboratory.
Basically no company will choose to spend money on this alone.
What’s more, deep technology is still on the rise.
Other companies just want to get more benefits and save costs, but it is rare to find someone like Xu Yun.
"The higher the level of laboratory, the more funds are needed. If you need it, you should ask the school for help in time." Qin Xiangxin learned that Xu Yun would start a laboratory again, and after thinking for a while, he did not forget to promise.
