United States, far away on the other side of the Atlantic, Binghamton, New York.

In the materials science and chemistry class at the State University of New York at Binghamton, Professor Stanley Whittingham, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in the field of lithium-ion battery research and development in 19 years, is teaching the young students about the field of electrochemistry.

For the work of teaching, some professors will leave the teaching task to their teaching assistants or their own students, or even randomly select a researcher from the research group to replace them.

For academics, this is already the default unspoken rule.

In addition to mathematics, there are many professors in other disciplines who do this.

However, there are those who like to have people take classes on their behalf, and naturally there are also those who like to teach students in person.

Professor Stanley Whittingham is one of them, and he enjoys the feeling of passing on knowledge to young students in the classroom.

Perhaps to others, a Nobel Prize-caliber standing in class and teaching undergraduate and graduate students seems like a waste of time.

After all, it is also difficult for young students who are new to academia to keep up with the thinking and pace of such bigwig-level scholars.

However, the fact is that most Nobel laureate-level scholars prefer to teach students in person and are happy to communicate with students in class than ordinary professors.

In Stanley Whittingham's view, young minds carry more light.

Sometimes, the questions or ideas that students ask in class can be crucial inspiration and inspiration.

After a big class, in the question session at the end of the class, it is natural to face the students' request for advice.

"Professor, have you read the paper that Professor Xu recently published on the Arxiv preprint website?"

Hearing this question, Stanley Whittingham nodded with a smile and said, "I've seen it, do you have any questions?"

"May I ask Professor Xu, did he really do it? It has established a set of accurate, effective and universally applicable many-body quantum theory and statistical theory for electrochemistry."

The student who raised his hand to ask the question looked at Stanley Whittingham with curiosity and anticipation.

For them majoring in electrochemistry, the importance of this thesis is really too great.

If it proves to be true, I am afraid that the world of chemistry, or at least the field of electrochemistry, will usher in a sea change.

On this basis, even the lithium dendrite problem, lithium-sulfur batteries, and lithium-air batteries are nothing.

After all, it benefits the entire field of electrochemistry, establishing a set of precise, effective and universally applicable quantum theories and co-ordination for electrochemistry, which can be applied to the entire electrochemistry, not just one technology.

You know, such as chemical power supply, electrochemical analysis, electrochemical synthesis, photoelectrochemistry, electrocatalysis, electrometallurgy, electrolysis.... and many other fields are electrochemistry.

More critically, among the many branches of chemistry, electrochemistry is the only discipline based on large industry.

The results derived from the theory of chemistry are undoubtedly of great importance to the development of the industrial system.

If this achievement is accepted by the academic community, then even if it is the only case, its status can stand at the pinnacle of the contemporary chemistry community.

Even in the field of electrochemistry, I am afraid that only Humphrey Davy, Faraday, Nernst and other historical masters who laid the foundation for the discipline of electrochemistry can be compared.

Listening to the student's question, Stanley Whittingham thought seriously for a moment before he replied, "Honestly, I can't give you an answer to this question."

"Why?"

Stanley Whittingham pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and replied, "Professor Xu's paper uses a lot of mathematical tools, as well as some knowledge in the field of condensed matter physics. He developed a novel set of theories for the microscopic explanation of electrochemistry and wanted

I am afraid that it will not be possible to fully understand and accept these things in a short period of time."

After a slight pause, he looked at the student who asked the question, and continued:

"In fact, even verifying that it's correct takes a long time. So because of scientific rigor, I can't answer your question at this time."

However, in the face of this answer, the student who asked the question was obviously not satisfied, so he changed his question and continued to ask the question.

"What if you want to give me an opinion, Professor? Do you think he's a little more likely to be right, or is he more likely to be wrong?"

Stanley Whittingham smiled and replied, "Personal speculation is not rigorous for science and does not make much sense, especially since I have not fully understood the paper at this time."

"But ......"

After a slight pause, he looked at the student who asked the question, and after scanning the classroom again, he continued, "But if I had to give an opinion, I think he was more likely to do it."

"Is it because of Professor Xu's reputation?" In the classroom, a student asked.

Stanley Whittingham smiled and said, "Not only does Professor Xu have a high reputation in academics, but also because in the paper, the theories related to the electrochemistry module and some experimental data on lithium batteries are basically self-consistent and problem-free."

"This means that he didn't think about it seriously, but after careful verification and verification, he came out."

"Based on that, I think it's more likely that he'll do it."

Hearing the professor's answer, the classroom was filled with the sound of discussion.

Someone asked curiously, "Professor, if this paper is correct, what is the impact on the chemistry community?"

Stanley Whittingham thought for a moment and replied, "If it's correct, it will give us a whole new future for the chemistry community, at least for electrochemistry."

Hearing this, the faces of the students in the classroom were shocked, surprised, and incredible.

If other chemists say this, many people may question it.

But Professor Stanley Whittingham, at least in the field of electrochemistry, is now in the top three, if not in the top three, but at least in the top five.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 19 years for his contributions to the field of lithium batteries, discovered layered electrode materials that can store lithium ions, and created "rechargeable" lithium batteries.

That's right, before Professor Stanley Whittingham developed rechargeable lithium batteries, lithium batteries were disposable products that could not be used repeatedly.

And after him, it can be said that the whole era of lithium batteries was opened.

And he is not only a Nobel laureate, but now he is also the director of the Institute for Materials Research and Materials Science and Engineering at Binghamton University of New York.

The director of the materials science and engineering program of a top university, his judgment on the development of cutting-edge science and technology in the field of chemistry is undoubtedly top-notch.

Seeing the students' reactions, Professor Stanley Whittingham smiled.

"That's all for today's lesson, as for the homework, since everyone is very interested in Professor Xu's paper, then this is the topic of the homework."

"I hope that by next Monday, you will all be able to read that paper in its entirety and write a cognitive paper on the field of electrochemistry."

"That's it, let's get out of class."

Knocking on the desk, Stanley Whittingham announced the end of class, and was about to leave the classroom with his textbooks when a student shouted at the bottom of the stairs.

"Professor, if this paper is confirmed to be correct, is it possible for him to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry?"

Hearing this, the corners of Stanley Whittingham's mouth curled into a smile.

He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a casual and joking tone, "If it turns out to be true,

Then it doesn't matter if the Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded to him."

"Because, this paper is glory in itself!"

After leaving the classroom, Stanley Whittingham did not go back to his office, but went to the parking lot, lit a fire and went to another branch of the State University of New York, the University at Buffalo.

In fact, SUNY is not a single institution, but a university system of colleges and universities in the state of New York.

It is the world's largest higher education system and the largest and most comprehensive state university education system in the country, with 64 member campuses and nearly 500,000 students.

This is a terrifying number, and it also means that the SUNY system is strong in terms of research capabilities.

As for the paper uploaded by Xu Chuan to the Arxiv preprint website, whether it is the establishment of a set of accurate, effective and universally applicable quantum theory and coordination work in electrochemistry, or the exploration of the mechanism of lithium-air batteries, the State University of New York cannot miss any of them.

The former may be the future of electrochemistry, and the latter may be the future of lithium batteries.

This kind of paper that can change the whole world, no one wants to miss it, and the State University of New York is no exception, and they have set up a research group to study the correctness and value of Xu Chuan's paper.

Stanley Whittingham was the group leader, and he was in charge of the theoretical chemistry part.

Unfortunately, their analysis and argumentation of the mathematical part of the paper have been slow and difficult.

After all, it is still difficult to find a math master in the chemistry world, or a math master who is relatively proficient in chemistry.
