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

Chapter 682 This is what is called the "younger brother" position in the family.
6:30 p.m.

The four of them sat down at the dining table in the living room and opened a bottle of red wine that Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao had brought.

After eating for a while, Ding Jiahui started telling all sorts of gossip.

"Our teacher said another student from Sichuan has become the top scholar in our class!"

"Our old teacher hasn't retired yet?" Xu Qingzhou vaguely remembered that in his previous life, their old teacher retired a few years after graduation.

"No, I was rehired," Ding Jiahui said.

"A few days ago, Zhou Xingjian, who was from that high school, messaged me to ask about your situation and whether the research institute was accepting graduate students."

"Zhang Yuquan and Wan Xi got married."

Ding Jiahui released a series of gossip tidbits.

"It's still quite early," Xu Qingzhou remarked.

"No, you're not surprised at all?" Ding Jiahui asked in surprise. Seeing Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao's calm expressions, she suddenly lost her joy in sharing gossip.

Song Yao explained, "Xu Qingzhou and I ran into them at the airport before."

Xu Qingzhou added from the side, "I always felt that the two of them were exchanging glances."

"Couldn't you have used a different idiom?"

Song Yao frowned. Why was someone making such a strange thing about their love?

"Everyone who dated in high school, except for the two of you, has broken up."

Ding Jiahui felt a pang of sadness.

Anyway, she's already convinced that these two high school students are dating, and yes, they're dating very recently.

The meal was quite good. Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao heard a lot of news about their high school classmates. Some went abroad to study, while others returned to Chengdu to take the civil service exam, having been trying for several years without success.

And then there's Zhang Yuxin, whose recent period drama seems to be quite popular.

Anyway, things are much smoother than in my previous life.

As for the details, Xu Qingzhou didn't care; it didn't matter anyway.

Hey~
Just as everyone was chatting, the phone on Xu Qingzhou's desk vibrated.

The living room quieted down.

Xu Qingzhou answered the phone, "Hmm, so fast? You guys have worked hard. I have some things to take care of outside, I'll come over tomorrow morning."

After finishing the conversation, I hung up the phone.

"Is something wrong?" Song Yao noticed Xu Qingzhou's surprised expression earlier and assumed there was a problem at the research institute.

Xu Qingzhou nodded and said, "Hu Jingxuan and the others have successfully achieved layered doping, and the results are quite good."

"Didn't they say it would take a week?" Song Yao was actually familiar with the institute's experiments.

"I was surprised too, it only took two days to make it."

Xu Qingzhou was somewhat taken aback by the speed of this Team Leader Hu; his efficiency was truly remarkable.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Guo Ziyi and Ding Jiahui were listening to something completely foreign to them.

Xu Qingzhou said, "A carbon composite material technology might be able to solve the shuttle effect problem in batteries."

"Could you explain it more clearly?"

Ding Jiahui said helplessly, resting her chin on her hand. She was unfamiliar with terms like carbon composite material technology and shuttle effect.

Xu Qingzhou thought for a moment and continued, "If we solve this problem, we can easily get into a car with a range of one or two thousand kilometers. As for mobile phones, one charge will last for a week."

"."

Now, Guo Ziyang and Ding Jiahui both understood, their expressions turning blank. Although they had known for a long time that Xu Qingzhou was involved in Ritian's schemes, they still couldn't help but think every time they heard about it: Such a mysterious thing, actually created by someone close to them?!

"Awesome." Guo Ziyang couldn't help but sigh.

"No swearing!" Ding Jiahui threw a wad of something at Guo Ziyang.

Guo Ziyang glanced at Xu Qingzhou and gave him a helpless look, as if to say, "See? You didn't believe me when I told you Ding Jiahui was violent last time."

Xu Qingzhou sipped his wine, thinking to himself, "This is nothing."

On Guo Ziyang's side, Song Yao was always clinging to him, and he had a very high status in the family.

Unfortunately, he was the younger brother in the family.

Because Xu Qingzhou had to get to the research institute in the morning, they didn't stay any longer after breakfast and drove away.

After arriving at the research institute, Song Yao went to her office to read, while Xu Qingzhou went straight to the laboratory.

Zheng Xu was also there at this time.

As soon as Xu Qingzhou arrived, Hu Jingxuan began to tell the two of them about the experimental results of the past few days.

"Regarding the B/N atomic ratio, we achieved a B:N ratio of approximately 1:2 to 1:3 by adjusting the proportion of the reactant gases. The B 1s peak was detected at a value between 191 and 192 eV, and the N 1s peak was detected at a value of 398.5 eV."

"In other words, nitrogen/boron co-doped carbon nanotubes are better than all the materials we have previously verified!"

Hu Jingxuan's tone was full of excitement; the hope of solving the shuttle effect was just ahead.

Zheng Xu scanned the data and said with some frustration, "This shows to some extent that we've taken the wrong path over the past six months. If we had been more careful during the initial screening..."

Five months ago, they ruled out the most suitable material.

If only we could have tested it a few more times back then
He shook his head inwardly again. It was no use. No matter how many times they tested it, they probably wouldn't have thought of using a layered design approach.

"Falsification itself is scientific progress. Eliminating interference and screening out interfering variables are all crucial steps."

Xu Qingzhou took it all in stride. The fact that such results could be achieved in just one year, whether in lithium dendrite and shuttle effect experiments, was already a miracle in itself.

"Too."

Zheng Xu sighed.

If it weren't for Xu Qingzhou, and if he had led the project himself, this experiment would most likely have ended in failure.

"Next, we'll focus all our efforts on testing N/B-CNTs (nitrogen/boron co-doped carbon nanotubes)." Xu Qingzhou had already carefully reviewed the data and found that the test results were actually better than he had expected.

"I have already notified Team Leader Qiu Chenyou and Team Leader Xiang Boyue to come over."

Zheng Xu is full of energy.

N/B-CNTs are mainly used in sulfur cathode materials. When combined with a lithium dendrite separator, the performance of lithium-sulfur batteries is bound to see a revolutionary breakthrough.

Xu Qingzhou pulled out one of the data sets and pointed to the iPSs adsorption rate, saying, "The current N/B dual-doped system seems to be struggling a bit."

"Yes."

Zheng Xu stared at the data and nodded, noticing a problem as well.

While boron doping can improve conductivity (>100 S/m), excessive boron will inhibit the formation of pyridine nitrogen.

Pyridine nitrogen can directly affect the shuttle effect.

To put it simply, the role of pyridine nitrogen in lithium-sulfur batteries is highly similar to the defense mechanism of white blood cells in the human body. Just as white blood cells engulf pathogens, regulate immunity, and maintain metabolic balance, pyridine nitrogen can strongly anchor polysulfides, catalyze sulfur conversion reactions, and improve electrode conductivity and interfacial wettability.

"Perhaps we can add something else to it."

Zheng Xu said in a deep voice.

"We will address this from three angles: suppressing shuttle travel, increasing the rate of operation, and extending cycle life."

Xu Qingzhou shared the same idea: if nitrogen and boron can be used to make doped nanotubes, then other elements can certainly be added as well.

They got right to work and wasted no time. They waited for the group leaders to arrive and immediately began screening the materials.
