Chapter 299 Lithium-Sulfur Battery Large Projects

Lithium-sulfur batteries are also being made abroad and have been in place for a long time.

To give an inappropriate but highly visualized metaphor, if human civilization lights up the tree and needs to unlock 10 technical difficulties that can give birth to 100 patents, then foreign research institutions may have established 30 to 40 patents, or even more.

Within the framework of the WTO, once an enterprise has created patent barriers that cannot be bypassed in one area, it will be in an absolute advantage for other enterprises.

In the chip sector, for example, Qualcomm has succeeded in becoming the father of other 3C manufacturers, even though it flows. There's nothing you can do to get your patent publicly licensed.

Because the game is based on equal power between the two sides, and when power is not equal, there is no question of the game.

The same pattern applies when enterprises are replaced by States, except that the main players change from market share to trade surpluses, dependencies and so on.

After listening to Old Lu's request, the ark stunned slightly and after a moment of careful reflection, responded with caution: “Although I would like to help you, I have only studied the anode material, but there is not much research on the lithium battery as a whole, which is difficult to put to use, I'm afraid. ”

Not that he's awkward, he's telling the truth.

While the modified PDMS film solves the most headache lithium branches, the technical difficulty of lithium-sulfur batteries is not entirely on lithium anode materials.

The first of these, for example, is the poor electrode circulation performance.

The sulfur cathode does not directly produce lithium sulfide at discharge, but is gradually reduced with the production of lithium polysulfide intermediates. Lithium polysulfide dissolves in the vast majority of electrolytes, causing dissolution loss. These dissolved lithium polysulfide diffuse to the anode reduction and then oxidize in the positive electrode.

This eventually causes the cathode material to stick together with the anode, which, while not necessarily causing safety problems, makes the entire battery irrelevant.

And that's Professor Sarott choking on Professor Claire's shuttle effect at the MRS conference.

To solve this problem, you can either start with the cathode material or with the electrolyte. There are many choices, but it is not easy to solve them.

The canoe parsed half a sheet of drawings from the wreckage by scanning the gun, with a probability of a lithium air battery well above the current level of technology, and jumped at least two segments.

Although lithium air cells are equally suitable for lithium as an anode, they do not use sulfur as a cathode, and even electrolytes are not known to be available. Naturally, there is no need to consider the "shuttle effect”.

“Of course, this burden will not rest on you alone," said Lu Lao with a smile. "This research will involve more than twenty national scientific research units, such as the Institute of Physical and Chemical Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Nanoscience Research Center, to focus on the technical difficulties in the field of new energy. Lithium-sulfur batteries are an important part of our new energy strategic layout, and apart from you, all major research units have dedicated theme groups that are technologically committed to this topic! ”

“Speaking of experts in the field of lithium batteries, professors in our expert group unanimously recommend you as the most suitable candidate. We are not asking you to change your research plan, just hope that if you have a new research plan, you can prioritize lithium-sulfur batteries in this direction. Whether you want people or money, we do our best to meet your requirements! ”

When they heard that, the ark couldn't help but darken its tongue.

He thought that Lu Lao was just talking about a general policy of support, but he didn't think that the top level had already done it as a national priority.

If the former merely supplied the front-line scientific researchers who fought for nothing, the latter would amount to a large-scale battle in the field of new energy, organized by the will of the State, by a "consortium" of research units at all levels.

The impact may not be felt immediately by outsiders, but for those in the industry, the pen is not as big as it should be.

This is certainly a good thing for the Ark, and Lu Lao's argument is clear that he can be offered the greatest concessions outside the study.

Although he is not short of money, policy support can help him get out of trouble.

The Ark nodded with a smile at Lu Lao's proposal.

“If that's the case, of course I'll be fine! ”

……

The intention to cooperate was established, and the next discussion was on specific elements of cooperation.

Lu Lao's proposal is to build a materialology institute in Jinling's new high-tech industrial park, focusing on the development of lithium-sulfur battery-related technology. At the same time, the State provides preferential policies such as tax exemptions for five years, tax refunds on imported equipment, subsidies for research on new energy topics for three years, etc.

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

Meanwhile, Kim Dae can bring professionals to his lab.

As with physics, materials science is one of the dominant specialties of Kim Dae, and many directions are at the forefront of the world in both organic and nanomaterial fields.

Lu Lao's conditions are satisfactory to the ship.

None of this, however, is critical.

The main focus of his attention was on the results of the study.

And this is something that any researcher would care about.

In the case of natural sciences, it would be fair to say that there is not so much stake and that the beneficiaries of any research are all humankind. But in the case of technology-based research, the target audience will be specific to organizations and individuals in addition to all humankind.

The most tangible manifestation of this is patents.

With regard to the question of the Ark, Lu Laoxian responded with caution a moment later: "I am not an entrepreneur and I cannot give you a specific share plan. I can assure you, however, that the results you have achieved in the direction of lithium-sulfur batteries will be guaranteed by the State administration and will represent at least three percent of the cooperation with businesses. ”

Typically, the vertical topic is that the state pays you to do research, and the state does not consider profit and loss, and in principle it does not let you fatten yourself with the state's money.

And the horizontal topics of enterprises, most of the results will be taken away by enterprises, even if a small proportion of bulls can talk to capital, they will never get as high a percentage as 30%.

Because research is like gambling. Investing is a bottomless hole. Companies have to take considerable risks at the same time that they pay for it. Researchers can divide it up by 10%. It's all about paying for it.

As for the situation abroad, it was recalled that this topic had been mentioned in an aesthetic called "The Big Bang of Life", and the results obtained at American universities with the School Research Fund were usually only 25 per cent professors and 75 per cent schools.

And the subject of corporate payouts will require more results.

In contrast, the conditions laid down by Lu Lao can be described as quite generous, or even as the use of executive power to interfere in the market, forcing enterprises to make concessions.

However, the Ark was not short of money, and he was confident that he would be able to achieve results.

After hearing the proportions, he said no, although he knew that it was Lu Lao's good intentions.

“I don't need corporate investment, I can fund it myself. ”

Upon hearing the request of the Ark, Lu Lao smiled softly.

“Well then, if Professor Lu intends to study it at his own expense, as long as the Institute is based in the country, all other preferential policies will remain the same. As for the results of the study, of course it is all your own! ”
