Of course there was a blackboard.
Even if there wasn't, someone would drag it over if he needed it.
After Old Lu heard Lu Zhou's request, he immediately ordered his assistant.
In less than two minutes, the conference staff dragged a movable blackboard from a classroom next to the auditorium and placed it in front of the auditorium.
Lu Zhou walked in front of the blackboard and picked up a piece of chalk. After thinking for a bit, he began to write on the blackboard.
He had already done similar research when he was researching the topological transformation of spheres in Princeton.
Especially the relationship between the electrochemical and mechanical properties of the hollow carbon spheres. He had done a systematic analysis and built a targeted mathematical model.
Right now, he was only selecting some of the results from his previous research and promoting it.
With Lu Zhou's level of mathematics, this was not a difficult thing to do.
The conference seemed to have entered an intermission as it quieted down.
Everyone was silent as they watched Lu Zhou write.
Professor Sun was stunned as he looked at Lu Zhou writing on the blackboard. He obviously did not expect Lu Zhou to actually write on the blackboard.
Actually, if he knew anything about mathematics, he wouldn't be so naive as to think that Lu Zhou couldn't prove it.
After all, the person standing in front of the blackboard was the person who proved the twin prime conjecture and left a legend in Princeton.
In comparison, promoting a theory that had already been completed was not difficult at all.
Lu Zhou wrote down the last line of calculations. He then stopped writing and looked at the other professors in the conference room.
"According to my calculations, a hollow carbon nanosphere with a specific surface area in the range of [2326m2g- 1,3762 m2g-1] and a diameter in the range of [60nm-70nm] can theoretically effectively slow down the diffusion of polysulfide compounds, thereby inhibiting the shuttle effect.
"Of course, this is only theoretical. The more specific product chemical formula, molecular morphology, and more conclusions need to be verified in experiments. This is only a demonstration of the possibility.
"That's the basic situation, any more questions?"
This …
No more questions.
All of the professors and scholars stared at the calculations on the blackboard with a serious look on their faces. The engineers from the enterprise frantically took notes. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, they had to write it down first.
Old Lui's eyes lit up. Although he couldn't understand it, he could see the light of a new energy source.
Lu Zhou sighed in his heart and put down the chalk in his hand.
At the MRS conference, no one could understand his mathematical proof. A group of big names in lithium materials could only look at his conclusion and nod. No one asked a question.
It was the same here.
…
Actually, when Lu Zhou was researching "Debris No.1", he had been thinking about something.
It's not about the technology itself, but something outside of it.
Objectively speaking, the birth of a technology must conform to a certain objective law.
Take the zipper, which could be seen everywhere as an example. Human civilization invented clothes to cover the body. In order to make clothes more convenient to wear, they gradually invented the button in social production activities. Soon after, in the 19th century, the industrial revolution made a huge breakthrough in productivity and production technology, which led to the birth of the zipper.
For the same reason, Lu Zhou believed that the advanced civilizations that mastered lithium-air battery technology definitely did not master this technology from the beginning.
In their history, there must have been something similar to pre-technology.
Considering all of the factors, the possibility of lithium-sulfur batteries was very high.
Although the carbon nanospheres in the anode material of Debris No.1 were not directly related to lithium-sulfur batteries, in a sense, they had a certain amount of inspiration.
No technology could be achieved overnight. Before it was applied to lithium-air batteries, similar hollow carbon spheres must have been developed elsewhere.
Lu Zhou's intuition told him that the hollow carbon spheres might be the key to solving the bottleneck of lithium-sulfur batteries.
Therefore, at the conference, he said this immature idea.
As for whether or not it could convince people, it was not up to him.
After the conference ended, the people who attended the conference began to leave.
Professor Wang, who hadn't moved from his seat, looked a little unhappy.
Logically speaking, he had no reason to be unhappy. After all, he was in the field of carbon-sulfur composite materials, and hollow carbon spheres were also a type of carbon-sulfur composite material. However, he was very unhappy with Lu Zhou's attitude toward him.
In his research team, a 23-year-old researcher would only be able to pour tea and water, but Lu Zhou was educating him instead?
Not just that, but he also thought that Professor Lu was paying too much attention to this young man.
Even though scientific research was profound, there was no technique involved. The method was nothing more than constant experimentation, trial and error, learning from the mistakes, and then using the experience to build a new theory.
From this perspective, doing experiments was like gambling.
Many people had tried to add surface polymer materials to the surface of the lithium anode. Moli spent hundreds of millions of USD on this project, but after it went bankrupt, it was taken over by Tepco. Then, they spent hundreds of millions on it, but there were still no results.
You, a mathematician, came here, wrote a few lines of equations, calculated an ambiguous result, and casually did a few experiments to solve a project that cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. Isn't your luck too f * cking good?
Wang Haifeng wasn't the only one who was mentally balanced.
However, he had to admit that this field was this realistic.
Before this, computational materials science was just an unpopular field. Most master's students would go into software development. However, after the paper published in Nature last year, many universities were researching whether or not to add a functional analysis course to their chemistry departments.
Wang Haifeng looked at Lu Zhou's direction and couldn't help but complain to Academician Wu Shigang next to him.
"Don't you think this kid is a bit too arrogant?"
Even though they had different academic views, they were all in the field of lithium-sulfur batteries, so they had a good personal relationship. However, Lu Zhou was a person who came out of nowhere. There was no one like him in the Chinese materials science field.
However, Academician Wu and Wang Haifeng had different opinions.
Most scholars who were engineers were pragmatic. In his opinion, age, identity, and family background were all secondary. Although he had reservations about Lu Zhou's academic views, they were only academic.
Moreover, he had always been straightforward with his words, saying whatever was on his mind.
This was true not only in meetings, but also in daily life.
Wu Shigang glanced at Wang Haifeng and retorted, "He's spending his own money on research. How can you control him? We just need to focus on our own research. "
After that, Mr. Wu packed up his things and left.
Wang Haifeng, who had been choked by Lu Zhou's words, was choked by his old friend's words. His blood pressure couldn't help but rise, and his face turned red.
After a long while, he finally managed to mutter out a sentence.
"What's there to be proud of? You're acting as if you're an expert. "
