All......

Swap for carbon?

Yang Xu was stunned.

Qian Zhongming and Liu Bo were also stunned.

All the researchers in the entire laboratory looked at Lu Zhou in a daze, obviously not reacting from his words.

In this way, this strange silence lasted for a full ten seconds before it was broken by Yang Xu, who was the first to come back to his senses.

"It's all replaced by ...... Carbon materials? ”

Shaking his head with a smile, Yang Xu waved his hand and said, "Impossible, we have already tried, and even at the beginning we used carbon-based materials that are more flexible in structure, but later we found that the chemical properties of carbon are still not so stable compared to silicon, so we changed to the technical route of silicon-based porous materials." ”

Speaking of which, he teased self-deprecatingly.

"After all, what we're going to do is a lithium-air battery, not a lithium-air bomb."

However, no one in the lab laughed, including himself.

Everyone's mood was low.

After all, this means that for them, two years of hard work have been wasted.

"That's because you didn't find the right way......" Lu Zhou glanced around, "Is there a blackboard?" ”

Yang Xu was stunned: "There is a ...... on the whiteboard." Right behind you, what are you going to do? ”

Lu Zhou didn't explain, just said with a faint smile.

"A whiteboard will do the trick."

With that, he turned and walked to the whiteboard against the wall, picked up the marker hanging next to him, thought for a few seconds, and then began to write word by word on the whiteboard.

[Ethylene propylene copolymer, 3,4-polyisoprene, polysulfone cross-linked block copolymer CBGC and its chemical modification CBGC-M......]

Looking at the names of organic matter that appeared on the whiteboard in rows, the researchers standing in the laboratory were confused, not quite understanding what he wanted to do.

A little confused, approaching Qian Zhongming's side, Liu Bo asked in a low voice.

Academician Lu ...... What are you writing about? ”

"It seems to be a little ......familiar," Senior Brother Qian obviously didn't understand, but he wasn't confused, stared at the whiteboard and frowned for a long time, muttering to himself, "Is it the formula of modified PDMS polymer?" But it's different......"

The formulation of the modified PDMS polymer is not as long, and the modified version is just two compounds combined in a chemical mosaic form.

At present, there are more than five names of organic matter written by Lu Zhou on the whiteboard......

Yang Xu, who was closest to Lu Zhou, also didn't understand, and like the top students in the Institute of Computational Materials, he was dumbfounded by staring at the long list of organic matter names on the whiteboard.

He knew every organic.

Even in this lab.

But when Lu Zhou wrote it on the whiteboard, he was a little confused, what was this going on.

Seeing that the pen in Lu Zhou's hand stopped, Yang Xu finally couldn't help but ask.

"It's ......"

"Mix these organic matter into a film in a certain proportion," Lu Zhou smiled and continued with a smile as he dropped the marker pen on the table, "Remember to use the cold-pressed film forming method as much as possible." ”

The Adam's apple moved up and down, staring at the long list of organic names on the whiteboard, and Yang Xu's eyes were full of disbelief.

He did not doubt Academician Lu's scientific research ability.

It's just that......

All this has subverted his understanding of computational materials science and even the discipline of materials science.

“…… This, this is an exaggeration, what can be mixed with so many organic things? What's more, how are you going to control the dispersion of each component? And how do you ensure stability between the different components? ”

There is both physical mixing and chemical mosaic, and the complexity of the entire system may have reached the level of a chaotic system!

Plainly......

How did you come up with this recipe?

How is the distribution ratio of each group calculated?

Not only the proportion, but also the mixing order and mixing posture of different ingredients, the products born may be two things with completely different physical properties.

Shaking out all his questions like a cannon, looking at Lu Zhou with a calm smile on his face, Yang Xu took a deep breath.

"It's not that I don't believe you, I just ...... Well, I'll simulate it in a moment. ”

"No, I'm ready." Lu Zhou pointed to the USB flash drive on the table and continued, "The model is inside, and the software written is the internal working software of our Institute of Computational Materials, and you should be able to use it." ”

Hesitantly glanced at the USB flash drive on the table, although he couldn't believe that Lu Zhou could complete such a huge workload in such a short time, he still nodded suspiciously.

"I'll try."

With that, Yang Xu stepped forward and picked up the USB flash drive, plugged it into the computer, and then held the mouse and clicked on the folder on the screen, running the entire model.

All the researchers in the lab gathered around and stood in front of the computer screen, nervously waiting for the results of the calculations.

There is only one exception, and that is Lu Zhou. He had simulated it many times with a quantum computer before coming here, so it was only his face with a relaxed expression.

Glancing at Lu Zhou, Yang Xu hesitated for a moment and asked.

"May I ask you something?"

Lu Zhou: "What's the matter?" ”

Yang Xu: "...... This model, which you solved yesterday? ”

Lu Zhou: "Sort of. ”

Although I stayed up all night and didn't sleep.

Staring at Lu Zhou like a ghost, just when Yang Xu wanted to express his opinion on this matter, the whining sound of the high-speed chassis suddenly slowed down.

The simulation results are out!

Everyone stepped forward.

The moment they saw the results displayed on the screen, the researchers gathered in front of the computer were all stunned.

According to the simulation results, when the surface air pressure applied to one side of the carbon-based film reaches the marked point A, the oxygen molecules begin to move from one side to the other.

After 24 hours of this simulation, the oxygen purity in the gas exchange chamber was as high as 98%! When the analog time is advanced to 72 hours, this figure only fluctuates slightly in the range of 0.1%, and there is no significant decrease!

From this point of view alone, this carbon-based hybrid material has completely exploded the previous "porous silicon-based molecular exchange membrane" in terms of molecular screening.

As for their concerns about the stability of carbon's chemical properties, it did not arise at all. To put it bluntly, this polymer material, which is similar to modified PDMS film, has strong corrosion resistance and is not as delicate as they originally expected......

Staring at the results on the screen, Yang Xu's eyes were full of disbelief and ecstasy.

But soon, the expression on his face was like being poured with a basin of cold water, and he quickly calmed down.

"You're right."

"This blended film really works better than the porous silicon-based material we developed earlier, especially for the screening of oxygen molecules."

"But the problem is still here, and even then, we can't be completely sure that all the gas entering the gas exchange chamber is oxygen-"

In the middle of the last sentence, he was interrupted by Lu Zhou.

"Who says we have to guarantee that the gas entering the gas exchange chamber must be 100% pure oxygen?"

Looking at Yang Xu's stunned expression, Lu Zhou smiled, gently shook the small test tube between his fingers, which he didn't know where to take it out, and said in a tone with these nostalgia.

"I made this thing when I was at Princeton."

"After all these years, I finally have a chance to come in handy."
