Lithium-sulfur batteries are also being done abroad, and they have been in business for a long time.

To make an inappropriate but vivid analogy, if human civilization needs to unlock 10 technical problems to light up this technology tree, and these 10 technical problems can give birth to 100 patents, then foreign research institutions may have established 30 to 40 patents, or even more.

Under the framework of TO, once a certain enterprise forms an insurmountable patent barrier in a certain field, it will be in an absolute dominant position for other enterprises.

For example, in the field of chips, Qualcomm has successfully become the father of other 3C manufacturers. You are so helpless that you are asked to publicly license your patents.

Because the game is based on the situation that the strength of the two sides is equal, and when the strength is not equal, there is no problem of the game.

The same law applies when the firm is replaced by the state, but the main actor has changed from market share to trade surplus, dependence and the like.

Listening to Lu Lao's request, Lu Zhou was slightly stunned, and after thinking seriously for a moment, he replied cautiously: "Although I really want to help you, I only have some research on anode materials, but not much research on the entire lithium battery, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come in handy." ”

It's not that he's hiding it, he's telling the truth.

Although the modified PDMS film solves the most troublesome problem of lithium dendrite, the technical difficulties of lithium-sulfur batteries are not entirely in the lithium anode material.

For example, the first of all, the electrode cycling performance is extremely poor.

The sulfur cathode is not directly generated into lithium sulfide when discharged, but is gradually reduced, accompanied by the formation of lithium polysulfide intermediates. Lithium polysulfide will dissolve in most electrolytes and will be dissolved and lost. These dissolved lithium polysulfides diffuse to the negative electrode for reduction and then oxidation at the cathode.

This phenomenon will eventually cause the cathode material and the negative electrode to stick together, which may not necessarily cause safety problems, but will make the entire battery unrecyclable.

And this is the "shuttle effect" of Professor Sarot's retort of Professor Krell at the MRS meeting.

If you want to solve this problem, you can start from the cathode material or the electrolyte, although there are many choices, it is not easy to solve it.

The half of the drawings that Lu Zhou analyzed from the wreckage through the scanning gun are most likely lithium-air batteries that far exceed the current level of science and technology, and they have jumped at least two ranks.

Although lithium-air batteries are also suitable for lithium as the anode, they do not use sulfur as the positive electrode, and they don't even know if there is an electrolyte, so they naturally don't need to consider the "shuttle effect".

"This heavy burden will not be placed on you alone," Lu Lao said with a smile, "This research will be invested in the project team by more than 20 national scientific research units such as the Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Nanoscience Research Center, focusing on various technical difficulties in the field of new energy." Lithium-sulfur battery is an important part of our new energy strategic layout, in addition to you, major research units have special research groups, for this topic to carry out technical research! ”

"When it comes to experts in the field of lithium batteries, the professors in our expert group unanimously recommend that you are the most suitable candidate. We are not asking you to change your research plan, but we just hope that if you have a new research plan, you can give priority to the direction of lithium-sulfur batteries. Whether you want someone or money, we will do our best to meet your conditions! ”

Hearing this, Lu Zhou couldn't help but secretly speak.

Originally, he thought that what Lu Lao was talking about was just an ordinary support policy, but he didn't think that the high-level had already regarded it as a national key project.

If the former is only an empty supply for the scientific research workers who are fighting on the front line, then the latter is equivalent to organizing a "group army" composed of research units at all levels by the will of the state to fight a large-scale battle in the field of new energy.

Outsiders may not immediately feel the impact of this, but for industry insiders, this is not an ordinary hand.

For Lu Zhou, this is of course a good thing, Lu Lao's statement is very clear, and he can be offered the greatest discount outside of research.

Although he is not short of money, the support from the policy side can save him a lot of trouble.

Regarding Lu Lao's proposal, Lu Zhou smiled and nodded.

"If that's the case, of course I'm fine!"

……

Once the intention of cooperation is determined, the next step is to discuss the specific content of cooperation.

Lu Lao's proposal is to build a materials science research institute in the newly carved high-tech industrial park in Jinling, focusing on the research and development of lithium-sulfur battery related technologies. At the same time, the state will provide preferential policies such as five-year tax exemption, tax rebate for imported equipment, and three-year subsidy for new energy research.

As for scientific research funds, the state subsidizes part of this money, and the rest is paid by enterprises.

At the same time, Kim Dae can send professionals to his laboratory.

Like physics, materials science is also one of the advantages of Jinda, and many directions in the field of organic and nanomaterials have reached the forefront of the world.

Lu Zhou was very satisfied with these conditions offered by Lu Lao.

None of that's the point, though.

The focus of his greatest concern is still on the research results.

And that's something any researcher would be concerned about.

If it is a natural science, it is better to say that there are not so many stakes, and the object of any research result is all mankind. However, if it is engineering research, the beneficiaries will not only be human beings as a whole, but also organizations and individuals.

One of the most concrete manifestations is patents.

Regarding Lu Zhou's question, Lu Lao thought for a moment and replied cautiously: "I'm not an entrepreneur, so I can't give you a specific sharing plan." However, I can assure you that the results you make in the direction of lithium-sulfur batteries will be guaranteed by the state administration, and at least 30% of the cooperation with enterprises will be made. ”

Under normal circumstances, the state pays you to do research on longitudinal topics, and the state does not consider the issue of profit and loss, and in principle, it will not let you use the state's money to enrich yourself.

Most of the results of the horizontal projects of the enterprise will be taken away by the enterprise, even if a small number of big bulls can negotiate conditions with capital, but they will definitely not get such a high proportion of thirty percent.

Because scientific research is like gambling, investment is a bottomless pit, and enterprises have to bear considerable risks while bearing funds.

As for the situation abroad, I remember that an American drama called "The Big Bang Theory" mentioned this topic, and the results made by American universities with school research funds are usually only 25% of professors and 75% of schools.

And the topics that enterprises pay for will also require more results.

In contrast, the conditions offered by Lu Lao can be said to be quite generous, and it can even be said that he uses administrative power to interfere in the market and force enterprises to make concessions.

However, Lu Zhou is not short of money, and he is sure that he will be able to make a difference.

After hearing this sharing ratio, although he knew that this was Lu Lao's kindness, he still politely declined.

"I don't need a business investment, I can fund it myself."

Hearing Lu Zhou's request, Lu Lao smiled heartily.

"Then it's easy to say, if Professor Lu plans to conduct research at his own expense, as long as this institute is built in China, all other preferential policies will remain the same. As for the research results, of course, it's all yours! ”
