Chapter 802: Solar Energy
"Please come in."
The door of the office was pushed open, Jin Xiaoqiang looked up, and it was Matt and Edwards who walked in, and Jin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that it was these two guys.
After meeting these two people in the United States last time, I asked Liu Mei to take these two people back to China, picked a place in the provincial capital, built a laboratory, and then I didn't pay much attention to it, and since then I have been very busy, and I haven't had time to go to see it a few times.
That is, during the break of some holidays, I went to see them a few times, but I didn't stay too long, and until now, I don't seem to have seen the two of them for more than half a year.
Originally, I just wanted these two people to build the laboratory shelves in China, and then go back to Australia to continue their research, but I didn't expect that because of the experimental environment and conditions here, after the laboratory here was built, these two people actually became frequent visitors here, although they would fly back to Australia from time to time to continue to lead the experimental team there to do experiments, but they left more energy and time here, which really surprised Jin Xiaoqiang.
"Hello, gentlemen, long time no see, how are you lately!"
Jin Xiaoqiang stood up and shook hands with the two, beckoned them and said.
"Haha, hello, Misterkin, it's been a long time, but you're so busy, it's not easy to see you."
These two foreigners have been in China for more than a year, and their Chinese have actually grown a lot, which makes Jin Xiaoqiang feel even more surprised.
"Haha, I'm fine, I'm fine, but I've been really busy lately, and I don't have much time to go to see where you are, how about it? Are you still used to this time? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang asked with a smile.
"It's fine. Fortunately, life here is very good, we are used to it. ”
Matt replied with a smile, is it true that he is not used to it. In the laboratory in Australia, he and Edwards have invested a few funds, although Jin Xiaoqiang has also invested, but he is very strict with the supervision of every expense.
But in the Celestial Empire, this is a completely different matter, the laboratory here is wholly owned by Jin Xiaoqiang, and when money is thrown into it. People call a wealthy person who doesn't care at all.
You must know that scientific research is very expensive, and every time he and Edwards have to conduct a collective experiment in Australia, they will feel very painful.
Thousands of experiments are often required for a project, but if the experimental project is unsuccessful, then these experiments can cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Australian dollars. Although Jin Xiaoqiang has a lot of money, the two of them have a lot of money.
But it's different here, it's Jin Xiaoqiang's sole proprietorship. Doing experiments here, there is no need for the two of them to spend money at all, and there is also a salary, although this has become the nature of working for Jin Xiaoqiang, but for two scientists, what is more attractive than such an environment?
There are abundant funds, a stable environment, and most importantly, there are many obedient and low-paid apprentices of the Celestial Empire who have a solid foundation and a low salary. This kind of experimental environment is very popular with everyone.
So for more than a year, the two of them are more willing to work for Jin Xiaoqiang here.
"Alright! Gentlemen, I don't know, what is the matter with you coming to me this time? ”
Jin Xiaoqiang asked Matt and Edwards, and he also hoped that the two of them would better bring him something practical, and he had already invested no less than 200 million yuan in their solar projects. However, the project team led by these two people really didn't bring any decent products to themselves, except for the small inventions such as a solar tile and a floor tile that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy, which made Jin Xiaoqiang feel a little worried. …,
So after returning from abroad last year, he went into their lab for a while, where he was looking at and understanding their workflow and testing some of his own conjectures.
At that time, when they were making monocrystalline silicon wafers, before adding raw materials to the monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, Jin Xiaoqiang mixed some of the nanobiological cells he had prepared with those raw materials and added them to those raw materials.
As a result, the monocrystalline silicon grown in the monocrystalline silicon growth furnace fully met the requirements of the solar turbine technology proposed by Matt and Edwards after slicing.
Because of the change in the arrangement and structure of the silicon atoms, the ability of the silicon atoms in the silicon atoms to catch the red photons in the light is greatly competitive, which can effectively catch the two red photons and convert them into yellow photons with higher energy efficiency, and then convert them into electrical energy through photoelectric conversion, so that the new solar energy theory they studied has a basis.
After all, the most important basis for their theory of a new generation of solar cells is to have such a new type of monocrystalline silicon material to be able to complete such a photoelectric conversion efficiency.
But after that experiment, Jin Xiaoqiang never appeared in their solar research institute again, because he had already verified his hypothesis, so he didn't need to appear anywhere again.
After all, Jin Xiaoqiang also knows that there are too many secrets on his body that cannot be discovered, especially these extremely sensitive scientists, once they are studying something and can't get a very scientific basis, these guys will be obsessed with such things, in case they really doubt themselves, then what can they do at that time?
Is it possible to kill these two old guys?
So after that fight, Jin Xiaoqiang didn't go to their lab much again, at best, he just went to their place during the holidays and showed his face.
However, at that time, the two old brothers couldn't take care of Jin Xiaoqiang at all, and they were already immersed in the new solar energy materials that Jin Xiaoqiang brought to them.
This new solar conversion silicon crystal is several times more than several times more efficient than the original monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon.
Although they don't know how such a material is made, that is not their concern, they are only concerned about how to make the most of this new material.
They only knew that every time they used the monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, all the materials needed were sent by Jin Xiaoqiang, and they also paid special attention to the confidentiality of this material.
They only know that there is a team behind Jin Xiaoqiang, and when developing this material, they have made some improvements and research and development on the ingredient ratio of raw materials, and added some different materials to it, and it is the addition of these new materials that enables them to obtain this new type of solar silicon wafer that is very in line with their theory.
As for what these raw materials are and what the ingredient ratio is, they are not very interested, after all, for them, they have been studying how to convert and use solar energy more effectively from the beginning, as long as they are given the right materials, they can develop a more suitable method of converting solar energy, as for the source of the materials, they don't care too much.
"Haha, of course it's about our solar R&D."
Matt said to Jin Xiaoqiang with a smile.
"What? Have you made a breakthrough in solar power? ”
As soon as Jin Xiaoqiang heard this, he also came to God, he couldn't help but come to the spirit, what is the most important thing in the 21st century? If you believe it like the movie says, talent! Then you are wrong. …,
The most important thing in the 21st century is actually resources, especially energy.
Talent can be regenerated, there are six billion people in the world, and it may not be difficult to find some talents from them, as long as you are willing to put your heart into finding them, or cultivating them.
But resources are different, especially non-renewable resources, such as oil, rare earths, etc., once these things are used up, then human beings must find suitable alternatives to continue to ensure the same quality of life as today.
Oil is a top priority, and since several oil crises, many countries are now looking for suitable new energy alternatives.
So far, only solar energy has been recognized by all scientists as the most suitable, clean, environmentally friendly, and inexhaustible.
And the energy is huge, starting from the sun hundreds of millions of light-years away and then reaching the earth, but it can still create various natural phenomena such as wind, tides, and volcanic eruptions on the earth.
Therefore, solar energy is regarded as the best energy alternative in the future, but how to convert solar energy more effectively has become the most headache for many scientists.
In fact, one of the biggest problems that plagues these scientists who specialize in solar energy is that there is no suitable solar energy conversion material.
For now, the most suitable material for solar energy conversion has been found by the scientific community is monocrystalline silicon, or polycrystalline silicon.
However, as a solar conversion cell, this material actually has its own limitations, for example, according to scientific theory, the highest scientific theoretical conversion value of solar cells made of this material is actually only 30%.
But even then, scientists have had to choose this material, because so far they have not found a more suitable alternative.
It is true that the highest theoretical conversion value of this material is 30%, but at present, the highest actual conversion efficiency that can be achieved in the world's top laboratories is only 22%.
