Chapter 305: Experiment Initiated

After the seminar, Lu Zhou also left the venue with the crowd.

However, just as he was about to walk in the direction of the laboratory building, someone suddenly stopped him from behind.

"Professor Lu, long time no see."

When I looked back, I saw Professor Lee Young-en walking towards him with a smile on his face.

Thinking that he had just poached two generals from the old gentleman some time ago, Lu Zhou was also a little embarrassed for a while, and couldn't help but smile and say hello.

"Long time no see, you're fine."

"Everything else is fine, but this heart is not very good," looking at Lu Zhou, although Professor Li was smiling, his tone was still quite resentful, "I finally brought out two apprentices, now it's okay, all of them are kidnapped for you." ”

"This ...... How can it be called a crutch. Lu Zhou coughed dryly and said, "And the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, you will definitely find a better one-"

Professor Li shook his head: "Okay, I'm not here to ask you about the guilt, I can rest assured that they can have a good place to go." It's a shame that you didn't get a PhD, but you can learn no less from you than you learn from me. ”

It would be too exaggerated to say that he was guilty of poaching two students to raise teachers. No one can say that the students he brought out must have to work here after graduation, even if he does have the idea of absorbing the two of them into Zhongshan New Materials for research.

Following Lu Zhou is obviously more promising, and with a good salary, any young person who intends to develop in this industry will make a similar choice. For the choice of the two students, although Li Rongen is reluctant, he is also supportive.

His research team will not have any impact because of the loss of two masters.

After a pause, the old gentleman looked at Lu Zhou and asked seriously, "To be honest, I don't understand the process you proved in the seminar. Are you serious about the conclusion about that hollow carbon ball? ”

Lu Zhou nodded: "I don't need to talk nonsense about this kind of thing. ”

In carbon-sulfur composite materials, hollow carbon balls are a relatively novel idea and have a lot of room for development.

And thanks to the breakthrough of carbon nanotechnology, the prices of materials similar to carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, and graphene are falling every year, and their application to industrial production is not without a realistic basis.

After staring at Lu Zhou for a long time, Professor Li suddenly smiled and shook his head: "...... Sun Hongbiao's old guy's eyes are still vicious, it seems that he is right, you kid is indeed confident. ”

Lu Zhou smiled embarrassedly and said modestly: "It's an exaggeration to be confident, and I'm just 30% sure." ”

Of course, this 30% grasp is only a success grasp, not a success rate, and the ghost of the experiment knows how many times to do it.

After all, his speculations about hollow carbon balls are all based on inferences made on the basis of common sense, and although this feasibility can be proved mathematically, it is really difficult to say whether this material can be found.

"The certainty of 30% is already very high, and usually our experiments are to bet on the possibility of less than 10%." After sighing with emotion, Professor Li looked at Lu Zhou and continued, "Then I look forward to your good news." ”

Lu Zhou asked, "Isn't your research team involved?" ”

Professor Li shook his head and said with a smile: "You have already gone in, what else am I mixed in?" Wait to see if your paper is ready. ”

After all, Zhongshan New Materials is not an industry giant, and its funds are limited. It is difficult to see results in the research and development of lithium-sulfur batteries in the short term, and Li Rongen, as one of the shareholders of the company, will naturally not rashly invest money in it.

Moreover, there is still a big market vacancy for lithium battery anode materials in China, and compared with the research and development of new materials, it is far better to digest the current market first.

As for the big project of lithium-sulfur batteries, it is better to leave it to those industry giants to tinker with.

……

The summary document of the meeting will take about ten days and half a month to come down, but those things have nothing to do with Lu Zhou.

The national project is very important, and it is still necessary to make some effort to enjoy the preferential policies, but the task of the system is also very important, and the research work on both sides is not intended to be left behind.

Moreover, in the same direction, although the experimental tasks of the two laboratories are different, they can still play a complementary role in some research.

The next morning, after Lu Zhou handled part of the interview through remote video, he had a video call with Professor Sarot in Silicon Valley.

The research institute here in Jinling, the instruments will probably be in place for a while, but the laboratory in Silicon Valley, with the funds of Star Technology in place, can already start experiments.

An annual salary of 100,000 US dollars is not cheap, and Lu Zhou has no intention of raising a group of idlers.

Once he had a specific research plan, he quickly edited an email and sent it to Sarot's mailbox.

“…… I have sent the specific research plan to your work email, you can read it first, and you can tell me if you have any questions. ”

According to Lu Zhou's topological analysis of the carbon nanosphere, its prototype can probably be disassembled into a C70 fullerene molecule and a carbon nanotube with two topological defects.

In the language of chemistry, the partial π bonds of the C70 fullerene material are opened, and the carbon nanotubes with topological defects are modified to change its molecular space configuration under specific conditions.

It may sound complicated, but it's not that hard to do.

First of all, the arc chamber is pumped into a vacuum, helium is introduced, two high-purity graphite rods are close together, and the arc effect is generated by high-voltage electricity, and the plasma produced by the vaporization of the carbon rod collides continuously in the inert gas environment to form stable fullerene macromolecules such as C60 and C70.

The C70 molecules are screened out and mixed with carbon nanotubes produced in a CVD vacuum tube furnace to undergo a thermal reaction in a vacuum environment.

Due to the instability of the π and large π bonds themselves, quite complex chemical reactions occur during heating. According to the expected polymer model, similar products were continuously screened out from the reaction chamber, and then the physical and chemical properties of the products were analyzed.

Maybe a kilogram of product can find so many milligrams of treasure. Then, according to the product, time, materials and other factors, different curves are drawn, and a thing similar to an empirical formula is explored, and then a complete set of theories is established.

This may seem like a stupid approach, but from a practical point of view, it is the most appropriate option at the moment.

After all, before looking for a stable preparation method, the first thing that needs to be solved is the problem of starting from scratch. In fact, many experiments in materials science are done through this "stupid method".

However, even though he knew that this was the only option, after reading the research plan formulated by Lu Zhou, Sarot couldn't help but complain about this untechnical experiment: "To be honest, we can completely outsource these experiments to others." ”

Lu Zhou: "I don't feel at ease with other people's data, not to mention that everything is outsourced, what's the use of me keeping you." ”

Sarot, who was on the other side of the video camera, smiled and suddenly stopped beeping.

"Yes, my boss...... I will go down at once as you ask. ”

Looking at Professor Sarot, who was so obedient, Lu Zhou nodded with satisfaction and encouraged: "Come on, work hard, have confidence in your research, maybe it's just a "Nature" article." ”

Although he didn't beep anymore, Sarot couldn't help but beep twice in his heart.

Is this the stuff on Nature?

Inexistent.

Whether he looked sideways or vertically, he couldn't see anything appealing about this thing.
