Chapter 575 Are Single People Guilty?

7 month 26 day.

After playing outside for more than half a month, Song Yao missed the lazy cat at home. When she got home, she went to the cattery to pick up the second cat that was in foster care.

Having more cats in the house suddenly makes the place more lively.

The two of them rested on the chairs, with a beautiful lake view outside the window.
After more than half a month, they all felt dazed when they returned to the bustling modern metropolis from the desolate northwest. However, looking at the familiar neighborhoods and houses, they felt inexplicably safe.

As it turned out, Song Yao was worrying too much, fearing that Er Miao would become depressed because he hadn't seen them for too long.

This thing seemed to be living a very comfortable life in the cattery. It stared with its two big round eyes and ran around the living room. It seemed to be more energetic than the two of them who had just come back from a walk outside.

The house had been uninhabited for so long that there was always a damp smell after being idle. After a short rest, the two began to clean and open the windows for ventilation.

Two days passed.

A night of rain washed away the Kyoto sky.

Outside the window, the trees were moist and the air had a cool, earthy scent.

Today is Monday. Song Yao went to find Zhang Qiong who had just returned from following her tutor to go shopping and watch a movie. He made a cup of coffee and walked into the study leisurely.

The books that Song Yao bought arrived a long time ago. Although the bookshelf that originally seemed empty is not filled, it is much better than when it was first moved in, and is full of the scent of books.

In addition to books on economics, law, and mathematics, there are also a bunch of novels.

The Three-Body Problem, Diary of a Madman, The Red and the Black, The Old Man and the Sea, Anna Karenina.
He took out a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea", opened it to a random page and started reading. He had read it several times before, so he didn't have to worry about where to start.

Compared with professional books, he actually rarely reads novels now. Maybe it’s because he has become more utilitarian after becoming an adult, and he always wants to get something when reading.

Occasionally reading a book will give you a sense of peace.

After reading for half an hour, Xu Qingzhou let out a breath, turned on the computer, and relaxed enough. Now it was time to get down to business.

The task is urgent.

Today, competition in the new energy field is at a white-hot stage, with the Xia-Russia African resources alliance versus the US-Europe-Japan-South Korea technology alliance, forming a supply chain division.

According to the development in the previous life, Xiaguo will have an absolute advantage in this field in the next few years. For example, the cost of lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP) is 20% lower than that of nickel-based batteries in Japan and South Korea.

Europe and the United States are trying to reconstruct the order through policy barriers and technological blockades.

Finally, in the era of lithium-sulfur batteries and nuclear fusion energy, the international situation changed again. Although Xia State did not fall behind, it could no longer take the lead.

If he succeeds.
Maybe it will allow the country to maintain its leading edge.

International competition is so cruel. Technological blockades and policy boycotts are all common means. Xia State has been arranged by Europe and the United States for decades.

He plans to divide the institute's experiments into two directions, namely lithium dendrites and shuttle effect, and advance them in groups and simultaneously.

He has done some experiments on lithium dendrites at MIT and even has some data because he has some understanding of all the current situations of lithium dendrites.

The more troublesome thing is the shuttle effect, which can be said to be an area he is relatively unfamiliar with and he needs to start from scratch.

Xu Qingzhou typed quickly, looking for relevant information on the shuttle effect. He was used to reading the definition first and then sorting out the experimental outline.

Before studying something, you must first figure out what it is.

The shuttle effect is a capacity decay phenomenon in lithium-sulfur batteries caused by the migration of soluble polysulfides as intermediate products between the positive and negative electrodes.

At present, the shuttle effect has three specific manifestations.

1. Positive electrode dissolution: Sulfur (S) generates polysulfides when discharged and dissolves in the electrolyte.

2. Migrate to the negative electrode: Driven by the concentration gradient, it passes through the separator and reacts with lithium metal to form LiS/LiS.

3. Irreversible loss: Some polysulfides cannot return to the positive electrode, resulting in loss of active materials, reduced Coulombic efficiency and corrosion of the lithium negative electrode.

Direct harm, rapid shortening of battery cycle life and overcharge risk, at the same time, it is related to lithium dendrites, which will accelerate lithium dendrites, thus causing safety hazards. The shuttle effect is one of the core issues restricting the commercialization of lithium-sulfur batteries. The current mainstream solutions are basically a combination of physical confinement, chemical anchoring and catalytic conversion, that is, modification of positive electrode materials, improvement of diaphragms, or strong adsorption of polysulfides through chemical bonds (SO, Li-N), etc.

Unfortunately, there is still no way in the world to completely solve the shuttle effect.

At present, the institute has sent interview notices to 100 scholars who have submitted resumes. The interviews will officially begin on August 8, and the list of candidates will be finalized before the 1th.

Most of the equipment has arrived in Kyoto and is entering the installation phase.

At 6: in the afternoon, an orange-yellow light shone from the southwest.

On the roadside, Xu Qingzhou took out his mobile phone and followed the navigation instructions, and finally found the iron pot stewed goose that Song Yao sent him.

He originally planned to cook some noodles to eat, but Song Yao called and asked him to go out for dinner. This girl probably saw that he had stayed at home for a few days and wanted him to go out for a walk.

As soon as he entered the store, he saw two girls in the corner waving at him.

"There are so many people here every Monday." Sitting down next to Song Yao, Xu Qingzhou smacked his lips as he looked at the busy shop.

"The food here is delicious and it's packed every day. I made a reservation on Friday."

Zhang Qiong said with a smile.

While speaking, he was also looking at Xu Qingzhou. They hadn't seen each other for almost two years. He had become darker and looked more mature.

Song Yao handed over a drink and said, "We bought you milk tea."

"New product? I suspect you are trying to trick me."

Xu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.

"What I bought is also a new product." Song Yao shook the cup in her hand.

Xu Qingzhou inserted the tube, took a sip, and commented: "It tastes good."

Seeing Song Yao looking at him, he was eager to try. He handed the milk tea to her and saw Song Yao taking a big sip. "It tastes better than mine."

"Oh, I won't trade with you."

"Like who wants it."

"You two, I'm still here."

Zhang Qiong looked at the two people flirting with each other and gave them a quiet reminder from the opposite side.

Are singles guilty?

She had long been accustomed to the changes in Song Yao's personality. She was no longer aloof, and when she went shopping, she was thinking about buying something for Xu Qingzhou.

"Husband slave."

This word suddenly came to Zhang Qiong's mind.

Song Yao is not aloof, she just only has Xu Qingzhou in her eyes.

Will Xiaoyao suffer a loss?
Zhang Qiong shook her head in her heart, feeling a little amused, thinking that she was worrying about nothing, as the two were already married and were quite happy.

Besides, if I had such an outstanding partner, I would probably stick to him/her.

Xu Qingzhou, he is really good.

On this side, Xu Qingzhou handed his milk tea to Song Yao, picked up Song Yao's original cup and took a sip. He also noticed the resentment of the girl opposite, so he put the milk tea aside and asked with a smile: "Is your boyfriend not here?"

Zhang Qiong: “?”
