Chapter 117 Research on composite electrolytes for solid lithium batteries

"We're here, this is where we usually work." Kong Jiyuan happily led Xiao Ran to a department with a sign on it, and opened the door of the department while introducing it.

As soon as the door opened, the department room was bright and spacious. In the center, there was a large conference table surrounded by comfortable chairs for researchers to conduct discussions and meetings.

Various folders, notebooks and mathematics reference books are neatly arranged on the table. A huge whiteboard hangs on the wall, densely filled with various mathematical symbols and equations, showing the researchers' thinking and creativity.

"This is the meeting place. We hold team meetings here every week to discuss our respective research progress and problems."

As he spoke, Kong Jiyuan pointed to the area on one side and said to Xiao Ran: "That's our personal workspace over there. Everyone has their own workbench and computer. You can put your belongings there and conduct corresponding research and research. Experimental work.”

"Let's go, I'll take you there. Senior Brother Liu and the others should be there too." Kong Jiyuan patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow.

At this moment, a middle-aged professor with Mediterranean hair came out of the next room and greeted Kong Jiyuan.

"Xiao Kong, you came just in time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Xiao Ran standing beside him and frowned subconsciously. He always felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.

"Hello, Teacher Luo!" Kong Jiyuan stepped forward to say hello with a smile. Perhaps because of Professor Luo's gentle personality, Kong Jiyuan was not as reserved in front of him as he was in front of Director Tian.

But today, Professor Luo had an uncharacteristically sullen face and asked, "Who is he?"

As he spoke, he pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose with a serious expression: "Xiao Kong, was he brought in by you? How do you remember the laboratory regulations?"

Knowing that Professor Luo had misunderstood, Kong Jiyuan quickly explained in a dumbfounded voice: "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 frown relaxed and he nodded, "That's it! Xiao Ran?"

He looked Xiao Ran carefully up and down, and muttered suddenly: "No wonder he always feels familiar."

"Xiao Ran, this is Professor Luo from our Institute of Physics, a master in the semiconductor field!" Kong Jiyuan patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and introduced him with a smile.

"Hello, Professor Luo." Xiao Ran greeted politely.

"You're not a great person, don't give me a high hat." Professor Luo didn't have any airs. After knowing that it was Xiao Ran, he became much more enthusiastic.

"I said why it sounds so familiar to me. It turns out that you are the mathematical genius who proved Kratz's conjecture some time ago. Director Tian often mentioned you in front of my ears."

"Haha, you're here at the right time. The topic I'm currently researching is short of a math expert to help me verify and analyze the experimental data." To say that the person who welcomes Xiao Ran most in the laboratory right now is probably Professor Luo.

As a professor in the School of Physics, his recent research project has a lot of experimental data that requires mathematical experts to help with calculation and analysis. However, there are only two or three doctoral students majoring in mathematics, and they all have their own tasks to solve.

It's not always possible to find time to help him check and analyze the calculations. For this reason, the progress of the experiment has been slowed down a lot.

Originally, he was planning to find Kong Jiyuan, a graduate student majoring in mathematics, but he didn't expect Xiao Ran to come.

"By the way, Teacher Luo, what did you mean when you said I came just right? Is there any task that requires me?" Kong Jiyuan interrupted 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 less harmful and extremely insulting.

Kong Jiyuan:

"Xiao Ran, how about joining my research group?" Professor Luo invited Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran also didn't expect that as soon as he entered Lao Tian's laboratory, a professor extended an olive branch to him.

But the problem was that he didn't even know what Professor Luo was doing, so he wouldn't agree rashly, so he glanced at Kong Jiyuan.

Kong Jiyuan understood and immediately said with a smile: "Teacher Luo, I will take Xiao Ran to familiarize himself with the environment of our laboratory first, and then we will make a decision after he has a general understanding of our scientific research projects."

After saying that, without waiting for Professor Luo to answer, he took Xiao Ran and left in a hurry.

"Hey!" Professor Luo looked at the two people's retreating figures and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only smile and shake his head.

"Two slippers!"

When I came to the work area, it looked neat and orderly.

There were not many people, only six or seven of them, all wearing white coats, heads lowered and concentrating on their own research work.

Kong Jiyuan pulled Xiao Ran to a young man who looked a little dull, patted him on the shoulder, and waited for him to turn around.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Liu Wenhai. He is the doctoral student taught by the teacher I told you about. You can just call him Senior Brother Liu."

"Hello, Senior Brother Liu!"

Liu Wenhai looked a little dull. He looked Xiao Ran up and down and said doubtfully: "Are you Xiao Ran?"

Xiao Ran smiled and stepped forward to hold his hand and shook it, "Hello, Senior Brother Liu!"

"Hello, hello, I've heard of you." He let go of his hand, and a smile appeared on Senior Brother Liu's dull face.

"Senior Brother Liu, Xiao Ran was arranged by the teacher and is going to be an intern here for a period of time. You are familiar with this place. Please introduce Xiao Ran to the topics that our laboratory is doing." "Yes."

"Then come with me."

Liu Wenhai brought Xiao Ran to his workbench and introduced to him: "We are mainly responsible for the research of semiconductor materials, covering many aspects such as crystal structure, energy band theory, quantum effects, etc."

"Our main research topic at present is."

As Liu Wenhai spoke, he turned on his computer, randomly pulled out some information and papers, and briefly introduced their current research directions and topics to Xiao Ran.

Research on semiconductor materials is the general topic of their laboratory. In addition, several other professors have also applied for several small research topics. One is the research on organic-inorganic composite electrolytes for solid-state lithium batteries, and the other is flexible nanometers. Research on composite piezoresistive strain sensors, as well as research progress on the preparation and application of graphene/polymer functional composite materials

These contents are not difficult for Xiao Ran to understand. He had already done his homework in this area before coming.

But if you understand it, you can understand it. After all, it is just talk on paper. If you really want to practice it, there are still many details that need to be paid attention to.

This is why he applied to intern in the laboratory.

Liu Wenhai probably also knew how terrible Xiao Ran's mathematical attainments were, so when introducing the topic to him, he specifically mentioned a lot of mathematics-related content, which just hit Xiao Ran's strengths.

For a while, the two of them were talking happily.

"Xiao Liu, did Xiao Kong take Xiao Ran to your side?"

Just as the two were chatting heatedly, Professor Luo came behind them and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Luo." Liu Wenhai stood up quickly.

"Guide him well and try to get him to start research work as soon as possible." After Professor Luo told Liu Wenhai a few more words, he turned and left, obviously thinking about Xiao Ran.

After Professor Luo left, Liu Wenhai couldn't help but sigh: "Teacher Luo is a big boss in the semiconductor field of the Institute of Physics! There are not many people who can make him pay attention. Xiao Ran, you are still the first among us."

this afternoon.

Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai took Xiao Ran to visit the entire laboratory environment and briefly introduced him to some basic conditions of the laboratory.

Afterwards, they took Xiao Ran to meet other members of the laboratory.

There are only a dozen people in the laboratory. In addition to Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai, there is also a female researcher and two doctoral students in the Institute of Mathematics.

One is mainly responsible for material preparation, and the other two are responsible for statistical analysis of data.

The older professor, whose surname is Yang, is a veteran figure in the laboratory. He usually doesn't like to talk much, and he generally doesn't take care of things. He is the type who has no desires and no demands.

Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai met with Xiao Ran one by one and made introductions.

"We usually have a team meeting every week, and you have to come and participate." Kong Jiyuan specifically warned Xiao Ran before leaving.

"Okay." Xiao Ran nodded.

"Besides, we don't like to be disturbed when we are working. If you have any questions, you can ask Senior Brother Liu or me." Kong Jiyuan added.

"Yeah." Xiao Ran nodded again.

That evening, Xiao Ran stayed in the laboratory until very late before leaving.

Kong Jiyuan and Liu Wenhai both had their own research topics to deal with, so they didn't have much time to teach Xiao Ran.

Most of the time, Xiao Ran was reading the information alone or conducting simulation experiments on the computer.

When he encounters a problem that he doesn't understand, he will write it down first, and then ask Kong Jiyuan or Liu Wenhai for advice when they are free.

I have to say that Xiao Ran's learning ability is indeed very strong.

For many professional issues, he only needs to read the information once and he can roughly understand the meaning, and he can even draw inferences 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.

Director Tian was also very relieved to learn that he had gradually integrated into the atmosphere of the laboratory.

"Xiao Ran, Professor Luo's research topic on organic-inorganic composite electrolytes for solid-state lithium batteries is short of an expert with strong mathematics skills to help them collect experimental data. Are you willing to go and help?"

Research on organic-inorganic composite electrolytes for solid-state lithium batteries?

"Go! Of course!" Xiao Ran agreed without saying anything. He was so sleepy that he gave him a pillow!

He originally planned to develop organic solar cell technology in the near future, but he did not expect that there would be research on solid-state lithium batteries for him to try before that.

Isn't this a coincidence?
