In comparison, Hongxin's model was too simple, so it was reasonable for the sales to drop.
University of Rivertown, New Energy Technology and Materials Laboratory. Lu Zixin and Hongxin's R&D team, as well as a few professors who were already technical consultants for Hongxin, were doing the first stage of lithium-air battery sample testing.
Lu Zixin only provided some important technical information. The specific research and material testing was done by them.
In front of them, there was a palm-sized sample of lithium-air battery. Professor Luo Hanshan was explaining.
"Battery technology is an energy storage technology. Batteries are a medium for energy storage. In the past ten years, there has been no obvious breakthrough in battery technology. "
"A few years ago, I also studied battery technology with a few colleagues and tried to build a new battery model. However, we searched the periodic table of elements and the crystal database and still couldn't find a reliable theoretical model. "
"Lithium-air batteries use the method of changing the negative electrode reactant to achieve a greater energy storage effect …"
He talked for a while and then said, "Lithium-air batteries have a higher energy density than ordinary lithium batteries, which means that the possibility of danger is higher. Therefore, safety and stability are the biggest problems we are facing. "
"In order to ensure stability, we reduced the reactant and made this sample. Currently, the energy storage is four to five times that of ordinary batteries."
Lu Zixin asked, "How is the stability?"
Luo Hanshan said, "The internal structure of the battery has been repeatedly modified by us and simulated dozens of accidents. The stability and cycle stability are even higher than ordinary lithium batteries! Also, we added a safety design. Even if the battery fails, it is still under control. "
Cycle stability refers to some of the things that may happen to the battery after repeated charging.
"Then, do you think this sample can be put into commercial use?" Lu Zixin asked.
"Yes!" Luo Hanshan said affirmatively. "As long as it is tested by the national agency, it can be put into commercial use. However, for safety reasons, commercial lithium-air batteries have to reduce the energy storage temporarily. The commercial version of the battery has four times the performance. "
"Four times! Four times is enough! "Tang Gang, who was next to Lu Zixin, was surprised. The battery of the same size had four times the power of other batteries! To them, this was simply a huge advantage!
Lu Zixin smiled and said, "Congratulations to Professor Luo and everyone for your hard work. You have created a new generation lithium air battery!"
The professors were naturally overjoyed, but Luo Hanshan said calmly, "This is not enough. This is only the preliminary technology. A real lithium-air battery could be used in any mobile electronic device, electric car, or even large energy storage. We have only taken the first step in this research. "
Lu Zixin nodded and said, "That's quite impressive. Next, we will continue to provide research funds and strive to make this technology more mature. You've worked hard. "
…
After returning from Jiang University, Tang Gang was still very excited. He said, "I just asked. We can make a commercial lithium battery model within half a month and submit it to the relevant departments for review. We can start production in a month's time! "
"How's the battery factory?" Lu Zixin asked.
"We found a small factory that wasn't doing well, and their boss was willing to sell it. However, if we want to fully control the company, we will need to invest a lot to change the equipment and expand the factory. "
"We still need to invest. In the future, the profits of batteries may not be less than mobile phones! "Lu Zixin said. Lithium-air batteries were a huge source of profit.
As long as the market saw its performance, there would be endless battery orders.
…
A few weeks later, they received the certification from the national organization. Hongxin Electronics announced a piece of shocking news. After the research and development team of Hongxin and the University of Rivertown, there was finally a breakthrough in lithium battery technology. They developed a commercial version of the lithium air battery, which had four times the performance of ordinary lithium batteries.
The University of Rivertown also released this announcement and posted it on the school's official website as a display of honor.
When this announcement came out, it immediately caused an uproar. First of all, various media reported this news.
Technology Daily: "Our country's company independently developed lithium air battery, epoch-making significance!"
Penguin News: "Hongxin announced the development of a new battery, which has four times the performance of ordinary batteries!"
Phoenix Technology: "Another breakthrough in new energy technology, Hongxin announced the development of lithium air batteries!"
…
Ordinary people might not pay attention to these news, but people in related industries were shocked.
Those who paid the most attention to Hongxin were their competitors in the same industry.
At Da Mi Company, Tian Xiangshan was shocked when he saw Hongxin's announcement. A battery with four times the performance, how powerful would it be if it was used on mobile devices?
"Is this real or fake?" Tian Xiangshan asked the technical staff of the company.
The technical staff did not know and said, "If it is a model of a lithium air battery, then it is possible. But it is hard to say if it is a commercial version. But battery technology has not been improved for many years. I still think it is a gimmick and hype. "
"I hope it is just hype." Tian Xiangshan comforted himself. If Hongxin could really commercialize this battery, it would be a disaster for them in the same industry!
The other mobile phone brands also felt the crisis, but like Tian Xiangshan, they also felt that Hongxin was just hype. How long has Hongxin been in the mobile phone industry? They had not even launched HX2, and they had already developed a new battery. This is not scientific!
On the internet, a new energy technology expert said, "The lithium air battery announced by Hongxin is most likely just a model and cannot be commercialized!"
"As early as a few years ago, the University of Cambridge had built such a model and sample. Japan and Israel had also developed similar batteries, but they can only exist in laboratories now. "
He also said, "Hongxin is doing this to create hype. A few months ago, they created a 1 billion bet, and now they want to create a new battery. I suggest everyone to be rational and not be affected by the hype. "
Not only him, but other battery companies also expressed that lithium air batteries are still a distance away from commercialization.
There was even a Japanese scientist called Masaki Masaki who stood up and announced in front of the media: "Japan's New Energy Technology Development Association had already developed lithium-air batteries a few years ago. Hongxin is still 10 years behind us in terms of technology!"
His words were unanimously agreed upon by everyone. Some media reposted Masaki Masaki's statement and expressed that Hongxin's announcement was also a hype.
"Who is this Masaki Masaki?" Lu Zixin asked in the office.
Su Zhirong looked at her phone and said, "He is a member of Japan's Industrial Technology Comprehensive Research Institute. He is an expert in new energy technology. Oh, he is also the Chief Technology Officer of Tengping Battery. "
