Chapter 700 Clay Mathematics Institute that can’t give away money(2/2)
After all, after the completion of lithium-sulfur batteries, the next step will undoubtedly be more advanced lithium-air batteries with higher energy density.
Although he may not have time to participate personally in the future, it is also good to understand the changes in lithium-sulfur batteries.
As for listening and watching at the same time, it is not too difficult for him to do two things at once.
"OK."
Fan Pengyue nodded, responded, thought about and sorted out the research process of the past two years in his mind, and slowly narrated.
"...Later, we want to change the properties of the electrolyte and break through these problems according to your previous ideas of studying artificial SEI films and solving lithium dendrites."
"We have tried and succeeded in creating a new lithium-sulfur battery by replacing the carbonate electrolyte with an ether electrolyte that does not react with polysulfides."
"However, during testing, it was found that the ether electrolyte itself is extremely volatile and contains components with low boiling points, which means that if it is used to make batteries and the temperature of the battery is heated above room temperature, it may soon fail or melt."
"We have also tried to reduce the amount of electrolyte and stabilize the lithium metal anode to solve the problems encountered by lithium-sulfur batteries."
"Although these studies were not successful, they also accumulated a lot of experience for us."
"Of course, it will also consume a lot of money."
Xu Chuan flipped through the documents in his hand, nodded and didn't pay much attention.
The research and development of any kind of material or experimental product, regardless of those extremely "white" European and American foreigners, can be said to be successful only after trying little by little, slowly accumulating experience, and eliminating wrong options and routes.
If we can develop lithium-sulfur batteries ahead of other countries, it will not be a problem to spend some money.
Moreover, even if the experiment fails and no particles are recovered, these data are still very important to the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute.
This is the reason why it is difficult to overtake in corners in the field of materials and can only be accumulated bit by bit.
If you don't have experimental data on the route that others have taken, you can only know the results after trying it yourself.
And if you have data in hand, then you can easily eliminate this direction, this route, and then use the saved time, energy, funds and other things on other routes that may be successful.
In this case, it can be said that one step is the first step, and it is naturally very difficult to achieve overtaking in corners.
To be honest, Xu Chuan was a little surprised that the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute was able to complete lithium-sulfur battery technology before other manufacturers and research institutes.
In recent years, he has no time to take care of the research institute, and is basically busy with his own career. Even he told Fan Pengyue some of the developments in the battery field that he remembered from his previous life. The background of Sichuan and Hai Materials Research Institute, compared with other battery manufacturers and
R&D institutions are still quite weak.
Being able to take the lead in completing lithium-sulfur battery technology before other battery manufacturers really surprised him.
However, this seems to have something to do with the material calculation model he created before?
Looking at the data on the report document, Xu Chuan's eyes fell on one of the pages, and he remembered the mathematical model of materials that he had forgotten for a long time.
If it weren't for this breakthrough in lithium-sulfur batteries, he almost forgot that he had deployed it in this field.
