Chapter 32 Research on Composite Electrolytes for Solid-State Lithium Batteries
"It's time to arrive, and that's where we usually work." Kong Jiyuan took Xiao Ran to a department with a sign with great interest, and pushed open the door of the department while introducing it.
As soon as the door opened, the department was bright and spacious, with a large conference table in the center, surrounded by comfortable chairs, for the researchers to discuss and meet.
Desks are neatly arranged with folders, notebooks, and math reference books. On the wall hangs a huge whiteboard, densely filled with various mathematical symbols and equations, showing the thinking and creativity of the researchers.
"This is where we meet, and we have weekly team meetings here to discuss our research progress and issues."
As he spoke, Kong Jiyuan pointed to the area on one side and said to Xiao Ran: "That is our personal work area, and everyone has their own workbench and computer. You can put your belongings there and do research and experimental work accordingly. ”
"Let's go, I'll take you over, Senior Brother Liu, they should also be there." Kong Jiyuan patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow.
At this moment, a middle-aged professor with Mediterranean hairstyle came out of the room next to him and greeted Kong Jiyuan.
"Xiao Kong, you're just in time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Xiao Ran standing on the side, his brows frowned subconsciously, he always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Hello Mr. Luo!" Kong Jiyuan stepped forward with a smile and said hello, perhaps because of Professor Luo's gentle personality, Kong Jiyuan was not as restrained in front of him as he was in front of Director Tian.
But today, Professor Luo uncharacteristically stiffened his face and asked, "Who is he?" ”
As he spoke, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his expression was a little serious: "Xiao Kong, did he bring it in?" How do you remember the rules of the laboratory? ”
Knowing that Professor Luo had misunderstood, Kong Jiyuan hurriedly explained with tears and laughter: "Teacher Luo, his name is Xiao Ran, and the teacher asked him to come to our laboratory for internship!" ”
Hearing Director Tian's name, Professor Luo's frowning brows eased and nodded, "Since that's the case!" Xiao Ran? ”
He looked Xiao Ran up and down carefully, and suddenly muttered, "No wonder I always feel a little familiar." ”
"Xiao Ran, this is Professor Luo from our Institute of Physics, a big bull in the field of semiconductors!" , Kong Jiyuan patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and introduced him with a smile.
"Hello Professor Luo." Xiao Ran greeted politely.
"What's a big cow or not, don't bring me a top hat." Professor Luo didn't have any arrogance, and after knowing that it was Xiao Ran, he was obviously much more enthusiastic.
"I said why is it so familiar, it turned out to be a mathematical genius who proved the Kratz conjecture some time ago, Director Tian didn't mention you in front of my ears."
"Haha, you're just in time, my recent research project just needs an expert in mathematics to help me check and analyze the experimental data." If you want to say that Xiao Ran is the most welcome in the laboratory now, it is probably Professor Luo.
As a professor in the School of Physics, he has recently researched a lot of experimental data, which requires the help of experts in mathematics to calculate and analyze, but there are only two or three doctoral students majoring in mathematics, and they all have their own tasks to solve.
I really can't find time to help him check and analyze, and for this reason, the progress of the experiment has slowed down a lot.
Originally, he was going to find Kong Jiyuan, a graduate student majoring in mathematics, but he didn't expect Xiao Ran to come at this time.
"By the way, Mr. Luo, what did you mean when you said that I came just now? Are there any tasks that need to be used by me? Kong Jiyuan interjected and asked.
"It's okay, I don't need you anymore!" Professor Luo smiled and waved his hand, explaining to him what it means to be not very hurtful and extremely insulting.
Kong Jiyuan:
"Xiao Ran, how about joining my research group?" Professor Luo extended an invitation to Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran didn't expect that as soon as he entered Lao Tian's laboratory, a professor threw an olive branch to him.
But the problem is that he didn't even know what Professor Luo was doing, so naturally he wouldn't agree rashly, so he gave Kong Jiyuan a look.
Kong Jiyuan comprehended, and immediately said with a smile: "Teacher Luo, I will first take Xiao Ran to familiarize myself with the environment of our laboratory, and wait for him to roughly understand our scientific research project before making a decision." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Professor Luo to answer, he pulled Xiao Ran and left in a hurry.
"Hey!" Professor Luo looked at the distant backs of the two of them, opened his mouth to say something, and finally could only smile and shake his head.
"Two slippery heads!"
Come to the workspace and it looks neat and orderly.
There weren't a lot of people, just six or seven of them, all wearing white coats, with their heads down and concentrating on their own research work.
Kong Jiyuan pulled Xiao Ran to a young man who looked a little wooden, patted this person on the shoulder, and waited for this person to turn around.
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Liu Wenhai, he is the doctoral student brother I told you about with the teacher, you can just call him Senior Brother Liu."
"Hello Senior Brother Liu!"
This Liu Wenhai looked a little dumbfounded, only to see him look Xiao Ran up and down, and said suspiciously: "You are. Xiao Ran? ”
Xiao Ran stepped forward with a smile and shook his hand, "Hello Senior Brother Liu!" ”
"Hello hello, I've heard of you." Letting go of his hand, a smile appeared on Senior Brother Liu's face.
"Senior Brother Liu, Xiao Ran was arranged by the teacher, and he is going to intern here for a while, you are more familiar with here, please introduce Xiao Ran to the topics that our laboratory is doing."
"Hmm."
"Then come with me."
Liu Wenhai took Xiao Ran to his workbench and introduced to him: "Our side is mainly responsible for the research of semiconductor materials, covering crystal structure, band theory, quantum effects and other aspects. ”
"At the moment, our main research topics are."
Liu Wenhai said as he turned on his computer and randomly called up some materials and papers to give Xiao Ran a general introduction to their current research directions and topics.
In addition, several other professors have also applied for several small research projects, one is the research of organic-inorganic composite electrolytes for solid-state lithium batteries, the other is the research of piezoresistive strain sensors of flexible nanocomposites, and the research progress of the preparation and application of graphene/polymer functional composites
These contents were not difficult for Xiao Ran to understand, and he had already done his homework in this regard before he came.
After all, it is just talk on paper, and there are still many details that need to be paid attention to if you really want to actually operate it.
That's why he applied for an internship in the lab.
Liu Wenhai probably also understood how terrifying Xiao Ran's mathematical attainments were, so when he introduced the topic to him, he deliberately mentioned a lot of things related to mathematics, which just hit Xiao Ran's strengths.
For a while, the two talked very happily.
"Xiao Yanagi, did Xiao Kong take Xiao Ran to your side?"
Just as the two were chatting hotly, Professor Luo didn't know when he had come behind them, and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Luo." Liu Wenhai hurriedly stood up.
"Guide him well and try to get him started with research as soon as possible." After Professor Luo explained a few more words to Liu Wenhai, he turned around and left, obviously thinking about Xiao Ran.
After Professor Luo left, Liu Wenhai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Mr. Luo is a big man in the semiconductor field of the Academy!" There are not many people who can make him pay attention, Xiao Ran, you are the first among us. ”
In the afternoon of the same day.
Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai took Xiao Ran to visit the environment of the entire laboratory, and also introduced some basic information of the laboratory to him.
After that, they took Xiao Ran to meet the other members of the laboratory.
There are more than ten people in the laboratory, and in addition to Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai, there is also a female researcher and two doctoral students in the college.
One is mainly responsible for material preparation, and the other two are responsible for statistical analysis of data.
The older professor's surname is Yang, and he is a veteran of the laboratory, who usually doesn't like to talk much, and generally doesn't take care of things, and belongs to the type that has no desires and no desires.
Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai took Xiao Ran to meet one by one and made introductions.
"We usually have a team meeting once a week on our side, and you have to come over and attend it when the time comes." When leaving, Kong Jiyuan specially told Xiao Ran.
"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded.
"In addition, we don't like to be disturbed when we are usually working, you can find Senior Brother Liu or me for anything." Kong Jiyuan said again.
"Hmm." Xiao Ran nodded again.
In the evening of the same day, Xiao Ran stayed in the laboratory until late before leaving.
Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai both have their own research topics to deal with, so they don't have much time to teach Xiao Ran.
Most of the time, Xiao Ran was reading the materials by himself, or conducting simulation experiments on the computer.
When he encounters a problem that he doesn't understand, he will record it first, and then ask them for advice when Kong Jiyuan or Liu Wenhai is free.
I have to say that Xiao Ran's learning ability is really strong.
For many professional issues, he only needs to read the materials once to roughly understand the meaning, and even draw inferences from one case and put forward some constructive suggestions.
During this period, Director Tian also came to the laboratory several times and asked about Xiao Ran's situation.
After learning that he had gradually integrated into the atmosphere of the laboratory, Director Tian was also very pleased.
"Xiao Ran, Professor Luo's research topic, the research on organic-inorganic composite electrolytes for solid-state lithium batteries, just lacks an expert with strong mathematics to help them collect experimental data, are you willing to help?"
Research on organic-inorganic composite electrolytes for solid-state lithium batteries?
"Go! Of course go! Xiao Ran agreed without saying a word, he was really sleepy and came to send a pillow!
He had planned to get the organic solar cell technology out in the near future, but he didn't expect that there would be research on solid-state lithium batteries for him to try before that.
Isn't that a coincidence?
