I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 631 Almost ruined his reputation

June 12th, cloudy.

In the morning, after finishing his class, Xu Qingzhou politely declined Professor Gu's invitation to have tea and did not linger at Peking University, driving directly to the research institute.

He plans to personally conduct theoretical verification of the performance of phosphorus-modified carbon nanotubes loaded with sulfides through mathematical modeling. If the team can perform targeted synthesis under the guidance of the model, it will greatly reduce the experimental time.

Because the experiment was not followed up for two days.

Before starting to work on the model, Xu Qingzhou first toured around each group to check on everyone's progress.

Zhao Shengwen and his team have already improved the performance of lithium-ion batteries to theoretical values ​​and are currently making breakthroughs in materials, separators, interface control, and other aspects, which can be considered as steady progress.

Li Yi and Gao Wenjin also made good progress. After this period of iteration, they have increased the jc value of the superconducting thin film to 4.9×10A/cm, and there is still one kilometer left to reach the established goal.

With the final countdown approaching, I heard he's been spending almost every day in the lab.

Li Yi had dark circles under his eyes, but he was in high spirits, as were Gao Wenjin and Zhu Qiqi.

Xu Qingzhou could only emphasize again the importance of balancing work and rest. Continuous experiments are acceptable, but staying up all night is not. Experiments can be conducted slowly, and if there is a shortage of manpower, they can be paused and carried out step by step.

12: noon.

Xu Qingzhou ate a quick bite in the cafeteria, then took the data from Zheng Xu and his team and returned to his office.

He made himself a cup of coffee to perk himself up and stood by the window looking at the snow scene outside.

After a night of heavy snow, the whole world was covered in white. The cold air seeped in through the cracks in the open window, and it hurt a little.

Xu Qingzhou reached out and closed the window tightly, looking at the snow scene outside. "Time flies so fast. It's winter again. It's already 2020."

Five years ago, he was still a high school student.

Looking at things now, my children are doing well. I don't have both a son and a daughter, but I can say that I've achieved success in both love and career.

Xu Qingzhou stretched and put away his sentiments, "Maybe we can give everyone a surprise at the end of the year."

With that, he turned and sat down at the desk.

From the atomic level (DFT) to the mesoscopic level (MD), and then to the macroscopic level (reaction kinetics), a full-scale performance prediction model is constructed to theoretically verify the maximum performance of phosphorus-modified materials, breaking through the limitations of experimental trial and error.

"Start with first-principles calculations."

Xu Qingzhou took out the model made by the computational group, looked at it for a moment, and shook his head. "The framework is quite complex, or rather, it is not perfect enough. The quantification of chemical bonding strength is lacking."

The anchoring mechanism needs to be verified.

Back at the company, Song Yao immediately threw herself into work, and various managers handed her a pile of documents and contracts that she needed to sign.

The last month of 2019 passed by in a flurry of activity. January 2, 2020, No. 1 Courtyard.

"I am leaving."

Song, the school beauty, pressed Xu Qingzhou's face and gave him a hard kiss, leaving a faint trace of lipstick. She then happily got into the car and drove off.

"You're just going to ruin me every day. There's snow on the road, drive slowly."

"I know~"

"Stop pretending to be cute."

"I'm cute as I am," Song Ai muttered as she started the car.

Watching the car disappear around the corner, Xu Qingzhou shook his head, thinking to himself that this girl was becoming more and more womanly.

New Year's Day was on a Wednesday, so it was only a one-day holiday, but Guo Ziyang and Ding Jiahui still came over on the 31st to celebrate the New Year together. The four of them spent the day having fun, shopping, and playing games.
Earlier today, Guo Ziyang and his wife had already set off for the company to work like corporate slaves.

It snowed on New Year's Eve, and it was cloudy on the 1st and 2nd. The snow on the lawn hadn't melted yet.

Xu Qingzhou didn't waste any time and drove his car to the research institute.

After the security check, the vehicle was smoothly parked in the parking space.

Xu Qingzhou got out of the car, and a cool breeze blew in. He couldn't help but tighten his collar. It wasn't cold when it snowed, but it was cold when the snow melted. The temperature today was even lower than when it snowed on the 31st. "I feel like I forgot to do something. Never mind, I'll go check on Lao Zheng first."

Xu Qingzhou headed towards Experiment Building No. 2.

Good morning, Professor Xu.

At the intersection, we met Ren Xiaoling. The young girl had just come out of the cafeteria, carrying steamed buns and soy milk.

"Good morning."

Xu Qingzhou greeted her, and then noticed that Ren Xiaoling was looking at him, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Wow, this year has passed, and this senior is still so introverted."

Xu Qingzhou couldn't help but smile inwardly.

He asked, "Senior, is there something you need?"

"that is."

Ren Xiaoling seemed to have something she couldn't say, and finally pointed to her cheek, indicating to Xu Qingzhou.

"Ok?"

"Um, Professor, I have to go now. Goodbye!"

Before Xu Qingzhou could react, Ren Xiaoling ran away as if fleeing.

"what?"

Xu Qingzhou paused for three seconds, then seemed to realize something. His eyes widened immediately. Goodness, that explained why he felt like he had forgotten something.

I haven't even wiped off my lipstick yet!

Xu Qingzhou looked around and, seeing no one, breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her phone and some tissues and quickly wiped the mark away. "If I went to the lab with this lipstick stain on me, my image would be ruined, Song Yao!"

He quickly wiped off his lipstick, pondering how to get revenge on Song, the school beauty, that night.

Fortunately, I ran into Senior Sister Ren.

Xu Qingzhou squinted, staring in the direction Ren Xiaoling had left. No wonder she ran so fast; she was worried about being silenced by him.
I almost gave the gossip-loving lab folks something to talk about.

He sighed, checked his face to make sure there were no marks, and then turned and headed towards Zheng Xu's laboratory.

Last month, he spent 10 days creating a composite model. Zheng Xu and his team are currently using the model's numerical values ​​to verify the performance of phosphorus-modified materials.

Anchoring efficiency: ΔG < -1.5 eV, Q_max > 1600 mAh/g;

Confinement effect: D < 10 cm/s, C_ss < 0.1 ppm;

Catalytic activity: k > 10 s.

Unfortunately, according to the model's predictions, phosphorus-modified materials are only expected to increase the shuttle effect suppression rate to 95%.

At the end of December, Xu Qingzhou and Zheng Xu discussed whether they could try other materials while advancing the phosphorus-modified material experiments.

Inside the seminar room, Zheng Xu and several leaders of the shuttle effect group had already arrived.

Because no matter how we look at it, phosphorus-modified carbon nanotubes loaded with sulfides (P-CoS@CNT/S) cannot completely solve the shuttle effect problem, we plan to determine other materials that can be tried this morning.

"Okay, let's get started."

Xu Qingzhou sat down, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then opened the prepared documents and said directly, "Let's talk about the first proposal, nitrogen/boron co-doped carbon nanotubes (BNCNT)."

"B/N co-doping enhances the adsorption capacity of LiPSs (ΔG=-1.6 eV), and Ni nanoparticles catalyze LiS deposition."

Zheng Xu spoke first.
