Since the breakthrough in lithium-sulfur battery technology, the voices of controversy over future batteries have all settled, academia and industry alike, tacitly holding it to the throne of a new era.

A large number of concepts similar to aluminum ion batteries have been cut off in succession, and instead, major enterprises and R&D units have silently reoriented their research towards starting drilling on how to make lithium-sulfur batteries more energy-intensive and safer based on "modified PDMS materials and HCS-2 materials”.

This is because lithium is a kind of BUG-grade presence in the battery field, and theoretically, no material in the mass energy density block can outrank the third lithium metal on the periodic table of elements.

Multifaceted factors such as integrated volume, quality, etc., at least in the chemical cell block, lithium material is almost at the apex, and the lithium empty battery mechanically raises this apex up a hierarchy.

If we want to go beyond that, it is no longer possible simply from the material, and we can only look for this possibility from outside the chemical cell. For example, discarding the electrochemical properties of the material itself, exploring from a mechanical point of view, developing fusion batteries and other things...

However, just as everyone believes that the new energy industry will maintain a solid pattern of lithium-sulfur batteries in Jiangshan for at least the next 50 years...

This tacit tranquillity was completely broken in mid-March by a paper published in JACS!

At the door of a kindergarten in Jinling, the owners of the two pick-up children squatted on the ground, smoking and blowing cows, because they were all car lovers, chatting about the topic and running to the noon news.

“Did you hear that? ”

“Heard what? ”

“The Jinling Institute of Higher Studies seems to have researched that lithium air battery! It's said to double the energy density of the lithium-sulfur battery. ”

When he heard that, the owner of the car without hair stared at him.

“Don't you think?! It's all lithium batteries. Doubling them is an exaggeration. I think it adds up to a hundred miles to the car. It's amazing. ”

The skinny car owner shoved down his glasses and shook his head, saying.

“The ghost knows what the expert said. How do I know? But... think about it, it's not impossible. After all, you want to, Lithium Empty Lithium Empty, doesn't that mean using air as a positive pole? ”

“... yeah, what's up? ”

“Well, don't you think it's weightless to use air as a cathode? The entire mass of the positive electrode has been omitted. Didn't the energy density just go up? I may have a problem with that, but that's the truth! ”

When I heard that, the owner of the car with no hair finally understood.

However, it didn't matter that the reaction came, the face full of flesh suddenly collapsed and the frown patted a thigh bitterly.

“Fuck, I just fucking mentioned the new car! And a fucking Tesla MODEL-S! ”

The skinny owner was shocked.

“Shit, I don't see it, Millionaire! ”

“What the hell,” said the hairless car owner, bursting out his cigarette butt with sadness. "This time it's a disaster. ”

The tall car owner's happy mouth opened, I don't know if it was a disaster, or I'm glad I wasn't in a hurry to change cars, laughing and comforting people up.

“It's okay, it's going to take a while for the technology to mature, you can drive it first, and I don't know if this thing can be replaced just like the interior. Besides, what's so sad about a consumer? Ha ha, I'm glad I'm not in a hurry to change cars, wait a month and a half to see! ”

Similar dialogues, in many places, are performed in different forms.

However, CCTV's coverage of international news channels is only the beginning.

Almost as the lithium battery and Professor Lu's name appeared in the international news section, so did the paved stories about the study and the titles of the various hot eyes.

Lithium Empty Battery is born across the sky! A new revolution in the new energy industry?

Scientific Monsters in the Western Pacific! Another world-class achievement was born in China!

A Little Battery, Changing the World!

"The energy giant called the White House night after night, predicting that the dollar position was in jeopardy, and we had to stop the Chinese from fighting oil prices again!

……

Only lithium batteries can defeat lithium batteries.

Broken by this wind wave, not only is there an inherent impression of lithium-sulfur batteries, but it also liberates people's imagination of the long-established concept of "lithium-sulfur batteries”.

While oil prices have not fluctuated significantly as a result… at least not as crazy as they were when lithium-sulfur batteries first came out, at this point, the CEO's office at ExxonMobil headquarters building in North Texas is bursting with deafening yells.

“Fak! ”

His fist draped heavily on the table, sweeping the newspaper on the table with the documents under the table, and Woods burst like a wounded lion, cursing angrily.

“This shameless thief! Liar! ”

His chest fluctuated sharply, trying to calm down his breath, took a deep breath, calmed himself down a little, and then looked at the secretary who was sitting at the desk next to him, fearful.

“Get the file now! I need to know in five minutes, about six years ago, which company bought the patent on the caged carbon molecule! ”

Lithium-air battery shocks are predominantly lithium-sulfur batteries, and while they will improve the market competitiveness of NEVs in the long run, they will not have a significant impact on oil prices in the short term.

……

This patent belongs to them!

If he's just a bunch of scrap paper, but only if it suddenly becomes the key ingredient for a lithium empty battery! This feeling of gripping a basket of gold when a pile of shit sells makes his heart almost breathless.

The only prayer he has now is that the Ark has not yet reacted, nor has Startech reacted, and they still have time to buy the patent that was sold and disposed of...

……

The reality is clearly brutal.

The secretary's fearless voice made him lose that little prayer of sincerity.

“The patent was bought by a foreign trade company registered in California… it was cancelled about three years ago. ”

With a chirp in his heart, a hint of bad hunch climbed into Woods' mind.

However, he still could not believe it.

Or, dare not believe, that terrible hypothesis...

When his fist was pinched to death, Woods continued to command the secretary with a few shivering voices: "Check the patent number! I want to know who's got the patent now. ”

He swore that as soon as he found out which company it was, he would do everything he could to buy it over and make up for his mistakes! He also believes that with ExxonMobil's financial resources, it can definitely be done.

All he had to do was buy a less determined shareholder, walk into the board of directors of the other company and put an irrefutable merger agreement in front of all shareholders.

It would be better if the other party were a listed company, and he would have more room to operate.

“Querying…”

The secretary just said half the words, the hands resting on the keyboard suddenly stopped.

There was a bitter look on his face, and even knowing that the answer might drive his boss crazy, he answered with a frightening glance.

“The patent-owned enterprise is…”

“Starry Sky Technology. ”

Star Sky Technology…

The shoulders relaxed slightly and Woods rarely had a angry, but calmly revealed a bitter smile.

At this moment, he understood everything.

Since that experiment six years ago, the bureau has been set up, starting with the little assistant who tipped over and leaked the model to Professor Stanley.

The Chinese named Lu, not only through deliberate leakage, using ExxonMobil's resources and Professor Stanley's research team, completed research on the key technology of lithium empty batteries, but also through the guise of lithium-sulfur batteries, let them throw away the patent as a waste product, and take it out every six years...

The deeper he thought, the more fear in Woods' face, the more sweat slipped down his forehead.

The man...

It's actually six years from now.

What the hell is this?

Such a plan.

It's horrible...
