"The hydraulic press has been started and is conducting a puncture test on the battery. This is the last item of the safety test." In the battery safety test area of the solid-state battery laboratory, Wan Xiaoyong operated the equipment to puncture the battery, and his facial expressions changed while shouting Extremely serious, for fear of something going wrong in the test.
They have been in the laboratory for several days and have room and board here.
I worked overtime to record various test data, hoping to make this all-solid-state battery available as soon as possible.
Lu Yi stood outside the protective tempered glass, staring at the flat battery inside. He was relieved when he saw that the battery did not change after being punctured.
When he turned around, the expression on his face was quickly replaced by joy, and he quickly shared the good news with Wan Xiaoyong.
"Successful."
"The battery's safety meets expectations."
"There was no explosion."
Traditional lithium electronic batteries are subject to crushing damage and risk of fire and explosion.
There are major safety risks.
Their all-solid-state battery has undergone various extrusion, drop, folding and puncture tests just now, and all performances are within the standard range, indicating that there are no problems with technology and materials.
This is indeed good news and proves that their efforts during this period have not been in vain.
When Wan Xiaoyong heard the sound, he stood up and took a look in person, without hiding the joy on his face.
"With this test data, I can finally explain it to Mr. Xu."
The data cannot be faked. From the beginning when they were suspicious of Xu Yun, to now when they got the test data of the sample, they were not only shocked but also filled with admiration and admiration for Xu Yun.
It even reached a fever pitch.
A few months ago, they were ordinary researchers, and now they are watching a real all-solid-state battery being born in their own hands.
I am afraid that no stranger would believe this experience.
"Even now, I still feel like I'm dreaming. It turns out that true genius is so out of reach."
Perhaps thinking of something, Wan Xiaoyong couldn't help but sigh.
"Who says it isn't?"
Lu Yi nodded and took over the conversation and said: "But I am looking forward to my future work even more." A look of longing appeared on his face.
Xu Yun has proved his level and talent with facts. You can imagine how many advanced technologies will be conquered in the future.
Being able to be a companion aboard this spaceship that might be able to break out of the solar system in my lifetime.
How gorgeous and wonderful life should be.
No regrets.
At this moment, Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong had an idea in their minds at the same time.
Choosing to return to China to join the Deepin Technology Research Institute was the most correct decision in my life.
Just as they were thinking about it, a sound from far and near that suddenly entered their ears brought them back to their senses.
"You two didn't go back?"
He quickly raised his gaze and saw that it was Xu Yun who had just arrived.
Although Xu Yun has been staying in the laboratory these days, he is not like Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong who are reluctant to leave at night.
He is very confident in his solid-state battery technology. No matter how bad the test data is, how bad can it be? Therefore, his mentality is much stronger than the two people who worry about gains and losses.
"Mr. Xu."
"This is the latest testing data."
"Please take a look."
Wan Xiaoyong didn't bother to answer Xu Yun's question, so he picked up the desktop file next to him and handed it over without saying anything.
At the same time, Lu Yi couldn't help but talk about it.
"Through our tests these days, the energy density of our battery has reached three times that of lithium batteries, and the normal charging time using traditional AC power is shorter."
"The performance of the battery is basically not affected in environments of tens of degrees below zero and high temperatures."
"The battery also passed various safety tests just now."
"There is no detailed data on the actual life of the battery at the moment, but I think it will definitely far exceed that of traditional lithium batteries."
Xu Yun took the document and looked through it carefully. The data recorded above was correct to what Lu Yi said.
Battery life requires a long time to test, and it is normal that accurate data has not been obtained at present. However, he knows that the advantages of solid-state batteries are that they have a long service life and are also very convenient to recycle.
Compared with traditional lithium batteries, it greatly reduces environmental pollution.
"Currently, the number of lithium batteries in the world continues to increase at a rocket speed every year. According to analysis, supply will soon exceed demand, and the entire battery market will then show a downward trend."
“If our technology comes out, it will definitely cause a shakeup in the entire battery industry.”
Listening to Wan Xiaoyong's analysis, Lu Yi followed up and said: "The most important thing is Mr. Xu's new solid electrolyte material, which can significantly reduce the cost of solid-state batteries. Otherwise, the cost will be too high." It is difficult to promote solid-state batteries to enter the market." There seemed to be a burning light in his eyes when he spoke.
Xu Yun naturally recognized what these two people said, knowing that what they were talking about was the current status of the battery industry.
In recent years, as the market share of new energy vehicles has increased year by year, many car companies have begun manufacturing new energy vehicles.
Among them, there are more and more companies making batteries.
But this also makes the battery output volume almost higher than the market demand, which will inevitably be followed by a fall.
You can imagine how many companies will face difficulties and be eliminated by the market.
If all-solid-state batteries want to completely replace traditional lithium batteries, production cost is the most critical issue.
Otherwise, it can only be used on special occasions and cannot be put into the market on a large scale.
He obtained this all-solid-state battery because it adopted a new metal solid electrolyte material and production method, which greatly reduced the cost and made it only slightly higher than lithium batteries.
However, the energy density is three times that of lithium batteries, and it is safer, smaller and can be folded.
By the time the technology officially comes out, the reshuffle of the battery industry is already a certainty.
"I just happened to bring you breakfast outside. Let's fill our stomachs first and then talk about work."
“As a member of Deep Technology, it’s unacceptable not to pay attention to physical health.”
Xu Yun quickly handed the document back to Wan Xiaoyong, and specially gave instructions to the two people with the attitude of the project leader.
Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong started testing since they woke up early in the morning. They were so busy that they felt obviously hungry, so naturally they would not be polite to Xu Yun at this time.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu."
With an honest smile on his face, he was about to leave the testing area and go to the rest area outside.
Just after taking two steps, Wan Xiaoyong stopped again, turned around again and mentioned another thing.
"By the way, Mr. Xu, I have perfected the paper. You may still need to modify it in some places."
"I'll see later."
Xu Yun nodded in response, and then walked towards the office computer.
He had already started writing a paper on solid-state batteries earlier. The main content was the theoretical research on solid electrolyte materials. Later, when Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong joined the laboratory, he left it to them to complete it. After all, they were also the first Two authors.
After coming to the computer and sitting down, Xu Yun logged into his mailbox and immediately saw the paper.
“Research and Economic Analysis of All-Solid-State Battery Electrolyte Materials.”
After all, Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong are graduates of well-known overseas universities and have published many papers in core journals.
After carefully browsing, he found few places that needed to be revised, and there were no problems with the cited literature and data support.
"This saves me a lot of effort, and I can submit the article directly."
After checking to make sure it was correct, he murmured to himself, and then immediately opened the Nature magazine webpage.
The two top journals in the world are undoubtedly Nature and Science.
《Nature》
《Science》
The former is the oldest and most prestigious scientific magazine in the world, with a history of a century and a half.
Unlike most scientific journals that focus on a certain field, important and cutting-edge research results in many scientific fields will be published in Nature in the form of short messages.
In the end, Xu Yun decided to publish this cutting-edge solid-state battery result after consideration.
Because Xu Yun has already completed the registration before, submitting articles at this time will not waste much time.
Soon after I saw the word "Successful Submission" appeared on the screen, I was relieved and felt as if my regret had been filled.
He has published several papers in top mathematics journals, including computer artificial intelligence and physics. However, if he cannot be published in the world's top scientific journals such as Nature or Science, he will inevitably feel a little regretful.
Fortunately, this all-solid-state battery technology helped him realize his dream.
He is naturally the corresponding author and first author of the paper. Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong are named second authors. The battery patent rights belong to the Solid State Battery Laboratory of Deepin Technology Research Institute.
“I don’t know how long it will take to review this time, but I’m afraid it won’t be shorter than the Annual Journal of Mathematics.”
When dealing with the paper, Xu Yun looked at the computer screen and thought secretly, trying to estimate the review time.
As the oldest and most authoritative scientific journal, Nature’s review is undoubtedly very strict.
In addition to carefully completing the first round of review, the editorial board will also invite experts from different fields to conduct rounds of review.
Only if its authenticity and value are determined will it be published in the magazine.
However, Xu Yun is undoubtedly very confident in himself. If the technology that can revolutionize the entire battery industry cannot pass the review, then Nature magazine will appear to be unworthy of its reputation.
In the following time, when Lu Yi and Wan Xiaoyong came over after dinner, Xu Yun also informed them about the paper.
"I have read the paper and there are no problems. I have just submitted it to Nature Journal."
"We are taking advantage of Mr. Xu this time. We didn't expect that we could get into a Nature journal." Lu Yi was the first to respond when he heard this, without hiding the smile on his face.
Although he and Wan Xiaoyong have submitted papers to non-core journals, they have not yet been published in Nature.
Although he is only the second author, it is a huge improvement in terms of personal qualifications.
Wan Xiaoyong was naturally very happy to hear Xu Yun's recognition of him. Thinking of the remaining important question, he couldn't help but ask after a slight hesitation.
"When will we announce this result to the public? I can't wait to see the reaction from the industry."
