Ponzi matters are put aside for now.

What Pang Xuelin didn't expect was that Fang Elbow made such a fuss, which made his high-purity electronic-grade single-wall carbon nanotube project famous.

This kind of carbon nanotube material of purity is currently unique in the world, and there is no other semicolon.

To this end, Xu Xincheng, president of Jiang University, specially pulled him to hold a meeting with Xu Xingguo and Li Changqing, and decided to separate Li Changqing's laboratory and establish the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center of Jiangcheng University, with Pang Xuelin as the director of the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center and Li Changqing as the deputy director.

Coupled with the Pang Xuelin Mathematics Center, which is still under construction, Pang Xuelin is equivalent to holding two positions.

However, those who can work hard, and Pang Xuelin also knows that there is no way to do it in a short time.

In order to dispel Pang Xuelin's concerns, Jiang University will provide an additional 25 million RMB in financial support, in addition, the Ministry of Education will provide 15 million yuan, and the Ministry of Science and Technology will contribute 10 million.

Coupled with the 100 million funds provided by Xinkai Materials Co., Ltd., Pang Xuelin's hands are equivalent to a huge amount of 150 million RMB.

This kind of financial support is not much worse than that of some national key laboratories.

Originally, Li Changqing's laboratory was included in the newly established carbon nanotube research center, and many professors and associate professors under Li Changqing were still worried about future project funding.

But after knowing that Pang Xuelin had such a huge amount of money in his hands, most people's hearts suddenly settled down.

This big guy is much better than Li Changqing.

In the field of carbon nanomaterials, although there is only one "Nature" at present, it is the world's leading level.

Following this big man, after a year or two, it may not be impossible to upgrade the carbon nanomaterials research center of Jiangxi University to the State Key Laboratory of carbon nanomaterials.

……

The first thing Pang Xuelin did after the establishment of the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center was to convene a meeting of more than a dozen professors and associate professors in the research center.

These people were all researchers under Li Changqing's laboratory before, and Pang Xuelin and Ye Xingmin had met with these professors and associate professors when they were engaged in high-purity carbon nanotube research, although they were not familiar with each other, but they also knew each other.

"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to be here today!"

In the conference room, Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "There is no need to introduce yourself, I know everyone here, of course, I believe you also know me!" ”

The crowd couldn't help but laugh.

"This is the first meeting since the establishment of our Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center, and today, I convene everyone to come over, mainly to unify everyone's opinions and determine the next research direction of our center."

"First of all, our first project is to cooperate with Xinkai Material Technology Co., Ltd. to mass-produce high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes!"

Pang Xuelin's words fell, and the laboratory couldn't help but be noisy, and many people exchanged heads and talked about it.

Some people also looked at Pang Xuelin with suspicious eyes.

Although it is easy to prepare carbon nanotubes in the laboratory, it is not easy to actually mass-produce them.

Due to the ultra-high conductivity to weight ratio, high temperature resistance, high strength and aspect ratio (>2500), single-walled carbon nanotubes make them an advanced additive that can improve the performance of base materials, and can be used as conductive agents for lithium batteries, conductive rubber, additives for plastics, masterbatches and so on.

Therefore, in the market, this material is in short supply.

At present, the only company in the world for large-scale mass production of single-walled carbon nanotubes is Russia's OCSiAL, a unicorn company with a valuation of more than one billion dollars.

OCSiAl is the only company in Europe that is allowed to produce and market single-walled carbon nanotubes on an industrial scale.

In September 2016, its core product, TUBALLTM single-walled carbon nanotubes, became the first such product to pass the EU Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH).

Not long ago, OCSiAL also put into operation a 200-ton single-wall carbon nanotube production line in Luxembourg, with a price of 40 or 50 million per ton.

In China, there are very few companies that can make single-walled carbon nanotubes, among which the best is the Rongcheng Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with an annual output of 100 kilograms and a unit price of about 40~60 grams.

Although Pang Xuelin has made the world's purest and best-performing single-walled carbon nanotubes, this is only a laboratory product.

Laboratory products and mass-produced products are two completely different concepts.

There are many laboratories in the world that can make single-walled carbon nanotubes, but there are few that can produce energy, and none of them can be industrially produced like OCSiAL.

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly, seemed to understand the thoughts in everyone's hearts, and said: "Cooperate with Xinkai Company to mass produce high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes project, led by Professor Li Changqing in charge of research and development, I serve as the deputy leader, Professor Song Jianye, Professor Liu Yongan, Professor Yu Hongxi, Associate Professor Chai Hong, Associate Professor Jiang Xiangfei can join this project team, I don't know if you have any opinions?" ”

Song Jianye, Liu Yongan, Yu Hongxi and others all nodded and agreed.

In this matter, Pang Xuelin and Li Changqing have communicated with them privately.

The mass production project of high-purity carbon nanotubes is a cooperative R&D project with Xinkai Company, and it is estimated that more than 80 million R&D funds will be invested.

No matter how optimistic they are about this project, it will not be visible on the surface.

Seeing that they had no opinions, Pang Xuelin smiled slightly and said: "This is the first project of our carbon nanotube research center, and the second project is the carbon nanotube composite project, which is led by me, and the project team members are Professor Wan Yi, Professor Huo Ziqian, Professor Yu Anxiang, Associate Professor Wu Dong, Associate Professor Lu Zhengde, and Associate Professor Ye Xingmin...... Of course, these two projects only require you to be able to complete the corresponding team tasks, and at other times, if you have free time, you can continue to work on your own projects, which our research center does not restrict. Okay, that's all for today's meeting, let's disperse, Professor Changqing, you stay first. ”

Soon, the people in the conference room dispersed, and Li Changqing turned his gaze to Pang Xuelin and said with a smile: "Professor Pang, you can tell me now the plan for the industrial mass production of the high-purity carbon nanotube project." ”

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly, handed a thick piece of information to Li Changqing and said: "Professor Changqing, these materials are preliminarily drawn up by me, you lead everyone to do it first, and if you encounter any problems in the middle, come to me again!" However, this plan is still under wraps, and the fewer people who see it, the better! ”

Li Changqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can save it!" ”
