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

Chapter 683 The shuttle effect will also become history.

July was hot, but August was even hotter.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao were also working non-stop until August 5th, Song Yao's birthday, when they finally got two days off.

Time flies by in the midst of our busy schedules, and before we know it, it's mid-August.

Inside the institute.

"In this awful weather, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and watermelon are the only proper ways to enjoy the height of summer."

Xu Qingzhou complained as he walked towards Zheng Xu. It was 2 p.m. and the sun was particularly scorching. He started sweating after walking just a few steps outside.

"However, once August is over and autumn arrives, the temperature should drop."

"Yesterday's test results should be out by now. If the N/B/P/S quadruple doping system doesn't perform well, then we really don't have any new ideas at the moment."

Last month, after confirming that they could perform layered doping and achieved significant results, they added fluorine (F), phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and oxygen (O) doping elements to the original nitrogen/boron co-doped carbon nanotubes.

Ultimately, two schemes were determined: phosphorus doping + sulfur doping and F/O/Co ternary co-doping.

The latter failed five days ago.

The former has shown good results and has the best chance of success; today is the day the latest batch of sample data is released.

Xu Qingzhou, thinking about the experiment, stepped into the office.

The shuttle effect team members are all here.

but.
"Something's wrong."

As soon as Xu Qingzhou entered the office, he noticed the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Zheng Xu had a somber face and was staring at the report with his head down. The other researchers were also silent, but they all seemed quite busy.

The sample results were unsatisfactory?
Before he could speak, a loud "bang" rang in his ears.

Instantly, colorful things began to fall from the air.

Holding a cannon barrel, Gong Yunfei excitedly shouted, "Professor, we succeeded!"

The tense atmosphere in the office was instantly broken, and everyone stood up, applauded, and cheered.

"."

Xu Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses and roughly guessed what was going on.

"We succeeded."

Zheng Xu walked over with a smile and handed the lab report to Xu Qingzhou.

[Core Material Composition]

[Cathode Material - N/B/P/S Quad-Doped CNTs Loaded with Sulfur]

【Dipole Coating – TiON-TiO Nanocoating】

[Test Item: Free LiPSs Concentration]
Data results: Not detected (detection limit: 0.001 ppm)

Detection method: UV-Vis spectroscopy + HPLC-MS

This means that LiPSs are completely anchored or converted without diffusing into the electrolyte.

This means that the long-standing problem of the shuttle effect has been completely solved, or in other words, the multidimensional synergistic mechanism reduces the free concentration of LiPSs to below the detection limit (<0.001 ppm), and the performance data meets commercial standards.

That's right, it has dropped below the current detection limit of the machine.

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Since LiPSs are an inevitable intermediate state in the reduction of sulfur to LiS, the complete elimination of the shuttle effect is only theoretically possible.

To put it another way, it's like dividing 1 by 2 repeatedly, the result will approach 0 but will never equal 0.

"Finally done."

After a long while, Xu Qingzhou let out a long breath and a smile appeared on his face. It was worth it for everyone's efforts over the past few months.

"Hehe, were you startled?"

Gong Yunfei smiled and leaned closer, a look of satisfaction on his face as he realized he had finally gotten Xu Qingzhou to his senses. "This idea must have been yours, right?"

Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes.

We shouldn't have let this guy come. Look at him, he's ruined the atmosphere of the shuttle effect group.

The lithium dendrite group project is nearing completion, and Gong Yunfei and Hong Yayu have been assigned to assist with the project, focusing on the diaphragm technology.

The function of the diaphragm is not only to suppress lithium dendrites, but also to precisely control lithium ion transport, have a thermal safety protection mechanism, and can enter into physical isolation to prevent short circuits.

Gong Yunfei, feeling guilty, said, "Cough~ No, everyone agreed. I'll clean up these things on the ground later."

"I think this idea is okay. If the experiment is successful, it needs a sense of ceremony."

Zheng Xu said with a smile, "The results of the experiment today are inseparable from you. So, why don't you say a few words to everyone?"

Xu Qingzhou nodded and walked to the front of the office.

“Every number and every chart clearly points to the same fact: the shuttle effect has been completely eliminated.”

"Congratulations to everyone for creating a miracle in just one year and solving a major problem in human history."

"The data doesn't lie: it proves that we've done the 'impossible,' and there's no doubt that we're doing something that's changing the world."

After a brief celebratory cannon salute, the office returned to its usual busy routine, with everyone performing their duties and wrapping things up.

Xu Qingzhou also went to Zheng Xu's office for a meeting.

After making tea for Xu Qingzhou, Zheng Xu said, "We just discussed it and if we hurry up, we can finish the project before September 10th."

Xu Qingzhou pondered for a moment, then frowned: "One month is quite a workload."

For the past month and a half, Zhao Shengwen and his team have been working on the final touches, and it is estimated that they will be able to finish by the end of the month.

"We can still finish it by working overtime."

"You want to announce both pieces of information at the same time." Xu Qingzhou understood what Zheng Xu and the others meant.

Zheng Xu nodded: "Yes, we're not far apart, so let's go together to avoid trouble."

"Yes, I agree. If I'm going to come, I'll give my peers a big shock."

Meanwhile, CATL's battery testing base.

"Ahh~"

Chief Scientist Chen Rongxuan, who was having tea with a friend, sneezed.

"Old Chen, you're our backbone. The experiment is important, but please take care of your health."

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

This person is Zhang Zefeng, the head of the marketing department.

"As long as we can make the product, it's all worth it."

Chen Rongxuan sighed, saying that he had spent most of the past few months in the lab and had no time to spend with his family.

Zhang Zefeng took a sip of tea and exclaimed, "It's unbelievable that we completed the development of a prototype of an all-solid-state battery within a year, and the dedicated production line is also under construction."

They have now completed the design of a solid-state battery with a theoretical energy density of 590Wh/kg, which is far ahead both domestically and internationally, and the target range has exceeded 2000km.

"We should not be blindly optimistic."

Chen Rongxuan, who has a deeper understanding of his peers, said: "The Max Planck Institute announced six months ago that it could make a solid-state battery with an energy density of 500Wh/kg, and BYD has a 520Wh/kg battery pack. The MIT Gern research team also announced a month ago that it had completed a design with an energy density of 550Wh/kg."

“BYD is a bit weaker than us. I heard that their best battery energy density can only reach 582Wh/kg,” Zhang Zefeng said with a smile.

"The battery industry has changed almost daily in the past two years, while these competitors have remained relatively quiet."

Chen Rongxuan paused, frowned, and said, "What worries me the most is the Kyoto Materials Research Institute."
