Chapter 270 The young man raised his eyebrows and drew his sword from its sheath
Logically speaking, although Tangdu is the capital of Qin Province, it is a bit difficult to recruit so many university professors.
The reason is very simple. Tangdu City cannot directly require them to participate by administrative order, so whether they can come from other provinces to participate in the meeting depends on their own choice.
In comparison, CATL and BYD are different.
The latter is a related company and has a branch in Tangdu City, so it is not unexpected to attend the meeting.
Wang Donglai was invited not because of his status as the founder of Galaxy Technology, but because he published two papers on lithium batteries.
This time the meeting was not held in the large conference room of the official organization, but in a hotel conference room in Qujiang.
Such an arrangement also shows that the atmosphere of this meeting will not be too serious.
When Wang Donglai arrived, there were already many people in the conference room.
However, when so many people gathered together, they did not whisper or whisper to each other, but sat upright or closed their eyes to relax.
After Wang Dong took a look, he found a quieter place to sit down and waited for the meeting to begin.
Soon.
Nine thirty.
A group of people came in a mighty manner.
There are old people with gray hair and middle-aged people.
Wang Donglai noticed that Director Lu behaved quite respectfully in front of these people, even walking half a step behind them.
When everyone in the conference room saw such a group of people coming, they immediately stood up from their seats, and a few people walked up quickly and said hello.
Wang Donglai also recognized the man walking in front at this time.
Academician Chen Quan!
Born in 1940, graduated from the Department of Physics of the University of Science and Technology of China in 1964. In the same year, he has been working at the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2001, he was elected as an academician of the Academy of Engineering. He is the first person in China to focus on lithium batteries.
It was the first to carry out research on lithium batteries and related materials in China. It was the first to successfully develop lithium batteries, solve the scientific, technological and engineering problems in the large-scale production of lithium-ion batteries, and realize the industrialization of lithium-ion batteries.
The reason why Wang Donglai thought of Academician Chen Quan was because he had seen many papers written by this big man when he was looking through relevant information before, so he briefly understood it.
Among this group of people, there is also an academician.
Academician Qian Yi.
Graduated from Shandong University in 1962, was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1997 and a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2008.
Unlike Academician Chen Quan, Academician Qian Yi’s main research directions include the preparation of new transition metal oxides, inorganic non-metallic and other nanomaterials, the self-assembly of graphene composite materials, and the application of new nanomaterials and composite materials in the field of new energy. wait.
As I said before, those who can be selected as academicians are not simple people and must be outstanding.
Similarly, Wang Donglai knew the identity of this big shot because he had paid attention to the academic development in this area, so he recognized it.
Recalling the information from these two big guys in his mind, Wang Donglai stood up like everyone else.
However.
Wang Donglai did not expect that Academician Chen Quan would notice him while he was sitting in a remote place.
I only saw Academician Chen Quan glance at Wang Donglai from a distance and nodded.
Academician Chen Quan’s actions also attracted the attention of several people in the conference room, and they looked at Wang Donglai.
A moment later.
The conference room became quiet.
After everyone sat down, Director Lu stood up and said: "Today's meeting is just a simple discussion meeting and exchange meeting. I hope everyone can speak freely."
"Here, we have Academician Chen Quan. and Academician Qian Yi, as well as Professor Wu and Ou There are professors and scholars like Professor Yang who specialize in this field, and those here are also professors and scholars from various universities, and they also have their own knowledge and understanding of new energy.” "
" The new energy industry is of great significance to our country. Our country is an oil-poor country, but we are also a developing country with equally developed heavy and light industries. Energy is the foundation of industry. New energy technology is the future development trend. Who has the control? Whoever has this technology is equal to It is to control the future. "
"The Center attaches great importance to new energy and has decided to vigorously develop new energy. However, the technology of new energy is complex and the future is unclear, so the professional knowledge of experts and professors is needed to answer this question. .”
"This seminar and exchange meeting is based on this reason. We have specially invited you here to gather everyone's strength to overcome difficulties!"
"I hope everyone will not hide their secrets and speak enthusiastically. Put forward your own opinions and ideas and brainstorm ideas.”
Director Lu knows what his role is, he just needs to sit here.
Technical issues will be identified and evaluated by Academicians Chen Quan and Qian Yi.
All he could do was this opening statement to dispel the concerns and worries of everyone attending the meeting.
At the same time, he also kept everyone’s performance in mind.
After Director Lu finished speaking, the conference room instantly became extremely quiet.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one took the initiative to stand up.
However, judging from the eyes, demeanor and movements of everyone, they are all ready to make a move.
It seems a bit contradictory, but it is actually very reasonable.
The people present were all smart people and engaged in scientific research. They didn't understand the subtext of Director Lu's words just now.
The country attaches great importance to new energy, quite seriously.
It seems that this meeting is an exchange and discussion for everyone to speak freely, but everyone tacitly agrees that this is a screening.
If the idea proposed by someone is feasible, then the country will allocate research funds for its research.
The scientific research funds stipulated by the state every year are fixed and limited. If there is more on one side, there will naturally be less on the other side. That's why they are so conflicted at the moment.
The stalemate didn’t last long before someone stood up and said, “It’s a blessing to be able to have academic exchanges and discussions with all my colleagues today. Director Lu just said that everyone should speak freely and brainstorm for the country’s new energy. If you want to provide suggestions and ideas for development, then I will be shameless, speak out my thoughts, and provide suggestions for everyone to discuss.”
While this person was speaking, the others also revealed his identity. come out.
Professor Wu Yuanzhi of Energy and Environmental Materials at Beijing Institute of Technology.
“I am currently researching green secondary battery technology, using light elements, multi-electrons, and multi-ion reaction systems to achieve a leap-forward increase in battery energy density. I am also developing materials for high-specific energy secondary batteries. Once completed, the energy density of the battery will be greatly improved and the performance will be far beyond previous levels.”
"So far, our research has some results, and we are not far away from success."
Since Professor Wu Yuanzhi has the confidence to be the first to stand up, he naturally has real ability.
In a confident tone, he briefly stated the project he was developing, without fear of any risk of leakage.
After Professor Wu Yuanzhi finished speaking, Academician Qian Yi, who was sitting at the top, suddenly became serious and asked: "The green secondary battery you mentioned can not only increase the energy density of the battery, but also increase the energy density of the battery." In addition, what are the advantages, how far has the relevant material research and development reached, and what is the cost? What is the high-temperature combustion rate of the battery? "Is it capable of large-scale application production?"
A series of questions were asked by Academician Qian Yi. Ask out.
If you are talking rhetorically and have no real evidence, I am afraid that you will be sweating profusely at this moment.
Wu Yuanzhi was not like this, and replied calmly: "At present, my team has initially made a lithium-containing hydrogen storage alloy, which solves the problem of lithium easily volatilizing in the high-temperature smelting process. In comparison, At present, some performance indicators such as battery capacity and power density of mainstream batteries in the market have reached the international leading level.”
“At the same time, we have also reached international leading levels. We are developing high-performance metal foam current collectors to provide material support for high-capacity batteries and sustainable electrode manufacturing. "
"However, our R&D funds are somewhat lacking and our manpower is also somewhat insufficient. If we have enough, we will do so. We are confident that we can produce a finished product that can be used on a large scale within two years.”
When talking about the latter, Wu Yuanzhi was extremely confident.
Qian Yi and Chen Quan looked at each other and said nothing extra. They nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Professor Wu, for sharing and communicating. If there are professors present who have research in this area, they can speak and discuss with each other to learn from each other's strengths." < br>
Wu Yuanzhi also sat down while Qian Yi was talking, his expression not showing the slightest bit of frustration.
At this moment, Wang Donglai felt that he was indeed right this time.
Although Professor Wu Yuanzhi didn't say much just now, based on the little bit of battery technology principles he mentioned, Wang Donglai had a rough and simple battery technology solution in his mind.
Although from Wang Dong's point of view, this so-called green secondary battery does not live up to its name, from the actual situation, if this technology is successfully developed, it is indeed a very good technical solution.
When Wang Donglai was mentally evaluating Professor Wu Yuanzhi's battery solution technology.
Another professor stood up and said loudly: "Professor Wu just mentioned that he is researching battery materials. I have some ideas about this."
"First of all, let me introduce myself For a moment, I am mainly engaged in research on scanning probe microscopy, electrochemistry and nanomaterials science.”
“So, Professor Wu said that he is developing high-specific energy batteries. I have some insights into the materials.”
“One of the topics I am currently researching is to use medium-temperature transformation chemistry to construct an air-stable and lithium-deposition-adjustable garnet interface. Using this technology, we can greatly improve it. To improve battery performance, improvements in manufacturing processes and technologies can be used to improve battery performance without much change in materials. ”
"So in my opinion, the improvement of battery process flow is also a top priority, no less than the development of new materials."
At this time, whether it is Academician Chen Quan or Academician Qian Yi, or The faces of the other professors participating in the meeting moved slightly.
What I said just now seems to have no problem, but in fact it is a secret confrontation.
Professor Wu Yuanzhi just mentioned that he was developing new materials. The next second, someone stood up and said that he had developed a battery with roughly the same performance, and also emphasized that the improvement of the battery process is no less important. In terms of research and development of new materials, this is undoubtedly dismantling Wu Yuanzhi's position.
While everyone was silent, Professor Jia Rui from Fudan stood up.
"I would also like to join in the fun and share my views and insights."
"Energy and environmental issues are major problems faced by all mankind. Fossil fuels are limited. If we continue to rely on chemical fuels, follow-up resources will inevitably be insufficient. , the ecological environment will become increasingly worse, and clean and renewable new energy systems are the replacement Products have become a key node in all aspects and fields in the new era.”
“I think lithium-sulfur batteries can be developed. Lithium-sulfur batteries have higher energy density than lithium batteries, are lower in cost, and are environmentally friendly. Stronger sex!”
However, before he finished speaking, someone interrupted Professor Jia Rui.
“Professor Jia, although lithium-sulfur batteries are low-cost and more environmentally friendly, due to their rate performance, their cycle life and safety performance are relatively low, and there is still a certain distance from commercialization. No one knows how long it will take.”
"Lithium-sulfur batteries seem to have good application scenarios and application effects in academic theory, but in fact this is not the case."
"I believe that many professors present have thought about developing lithium-sulfur batteries, but But they all chose to give up.”
“The reason is also very simple. The current lithium-sulfur batteries can only be applied to small items and cannot be applied to larger items, let alone countries. New energy vehicles are being vigorously developed.”
“So, if Professor Jia is researching lithium-sulfur batteries, it would be better to give up as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, Jia said. Professor Rui smiled gently and said lightly: "We are researchers and we are here to do research. If we are all like you, then I am afraid there will be no invention, innovation and research and development."
"I have always believed that as researchers, we are not afraid of discovering problems, but are afraid of not discovering problems. If we find problems, we can correct them, learn and improve. But if we choose to ignore problems because we are afraid of them, that is the real big problem. Question.”
Professor Jia Rui was not someone to be trifled with, so he sarcastically responded on the spot.
The professors present were not surprised by this situation and did not look surprised.
It is normal for academics to have disputes, disagreements, and even conflicts.
After all, academics are not fixed propositions.
It is normal for everyone to have different research directions and research angles, or even the opposite.
As a result, it is normal for academic exchanges and discussions to lead to debates and disagreements.
And at this time.
Academician Chen Quan took the initiative to speak and said: "I just saw that Professor Wang Donglai from Tangdu Jiaotong University is here. I might as well let Professor Wang Donglai talk about his views."
"Professor Wang, Do you think it’s okay?”
The latter sentence is for Wang Dong.
Wang Donglai did not expect that Academician Chen Quan would take the initiative to mention himself, but he did not have stage fright. His eyebrows were slightly raised, as if a sharp sword was unsheathed, and his energy was overwhelming. His whole person exuded a high-spirited aura. .
