I Am the President of the University

"President Zhang, what you said is wrong. How can this use up the previous favor? It doesn't count!"

"Okay, okay, okay, I can't argue with you, so let's do it this way."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yue looked helpless.

The assistant next to him didn't even think about it. The only person who could make the president of Ludao University helpless in Ludao was the one from Guanghua University.

Zhang Yue sat in his seat and thought for a while, then waved to the assistant, "Xiao Huang, contact Professor Yang Yong of the School of Chemistry. I want to know where he is now."

"Okay, President."

A few minutes later, Xiao Huang temporarily put down the phone.

"President, Professor Yang Yong is in the laboratory now."

"Okay, then tell him that I will be there soon and tell him not to leave the laboratory." Zhang Yue said and got up and left, while the assistant notified the other party.

Walking on the road, Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"You shouldn't owe favors to others."

Because of the Straits Research Institute, he owed Guanghua a favor. This time, they contacted him and wanted to invite Professor Yang Yong's team from the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering of Luda University to join the research of lithium-air batteries.

This was naturally a good thing, and Zhang Yue had no reason to refuse.

But he wanted to take this opportunity to trick the other party and pay off the previous favor, but failed.

There was no choice but to continue to owe it.

Twenty minutes later.

A laboratory.

Zhang Yue walked to the door and heard the voice coming from inside.

"During the charge and discharge process of LitMo2 and NaxTMo2 materials, the insertion and extraction of Li+/Na+ will cause structural phase change, resulting in rapid decline in the capacity of the electrode material."

"The main reasons for the structural phase change of layered oxide positive electrode materials include the migration of Tm ions, the anisotropic change of Tm-O bonds during the redox reaction of Tm/O ions, and the electrostatic interaction between O-O, Na(Li)-O and Tm-O."

"What we need to do now is how to alleviate the multiple phase change problems of Mn-based NaxTMo2 materials during the charge and discharge process..."

Zhang Yue pushed open the door, and the sound inside stopped immediately.

"Principal." The middle-aged man with glasses looked over, and then said to the researcher next to him, "You continue to repeat the experiment, I will be back later."

After that, he and Zhang Yue entered the office together.

Professor Yang Yong asked: "President, do you have anything to say?"

"Yes." Zhang Yue nodded, and then said bluntly, "Have you paid attention to the recent developments at Guanghua?"

"Are you talking about the approval of the [National Key R\u0026D Plan] for lithium-air batteries?"

"Yes, and Guanghua invited our Ludao University, or more accurately, your team to join the R\u0026D team of lithium-air batteries. What do you think?" Zhang Yue looked at the other party while speaking.

This Professor Yang Yong is not an ordinary person.

He graduated with a doctorate in 1992 and received a special government allowance from the State Council in 2006.

He is currently the editor-in-chief of the internationally renowned battery magazine jpowersources (if=6.93), a member of the board of directors of the International Battery Materials Association (iba), a member of the executive committee of the International Lithium Battery Conference (mlb), and a member of the academic committee of the National Key Laboratory of Special Chemical Power Sources. At the same time, he has long served as an expert in the National Military Battery Expert Group.

He has a rich resume, leading the team to undertake more than 40 scientific research projects including the National 973, the National Defense 973, key R\u0026D projects and key projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Professor Yang Yong is a famous scientist in China's energy field and a key scholar in the School of Chemistry of Ludao University.

"Lithium-air battery..." Yang Yong fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yue recalled the scene he had just seen in the laboratory and couldn't help asking, "What stage has your research group reached now?"

Professor Yang Yong answered casually, "The research group is stuck on the structure-activity relationship of the positive electrode material of the layered oxide of the sodium ion battery."

"How does this sodium ion battery compare to the lithium-air battery?" Zhang Yue knew all this, but he was just a little curious.

Hearing the president's question, Professor Yang Yong smiled.

"Compared with the current mainstream ternary lithium battery and lithium iron phosphate battery, sodium ion batteries still have many problems. As for lithium-air batteries...if both can be realized, sodium ion batteries are far inferior to lithium-air batteries."

Zhang Yue understood that in terms of performance and prospects, sodium ion batteries are not as good as the lithium-air battery made by Guanghua.

He stopped talking and waited for the other party's reply.

It didn't take long, just one or two minutes, for Professor Yang Yong to speak.

"President Zhang, I agree to lead the team to join Guanghua University's lithium-air battery project."

Just when Zhang Yue was relieved, Yang Yong's next sentence made his face change.

"And I want to apply to you, hoping to go to Guanghua University's laboratory to participate in subsequent research and development work."

"No, can't we do research and development in our school laboratory?" Zhang Yue was confused, "Why do we have to go to their Guanghua?"

"President, this lithium-air battery is not large in size, unlike a rocket that can be divided into several parts for research. Although it can also be jointly developed in different places, communication is inconvenient."

After saying that, Yang Yong paused and said comfortingly, "Guanghua is not far from our Luda University. Principal, don't worry, I will definitely not forget the teaching task."

Zhang Yue: "..."

Am I worried about teaching duties?

I'm really worried about you being abducted by Guanghua's shameless principal!

"Is it really necessary to go there?" Zhang Yue asked with a frown.

Yang Yong nodded, "It's best to go there, so the time efficiency will be faster, and it's not far anyway."

Zhang Yue is not ignorant of the general situation. He also knows how important this lithium-air battery technology is to the country, especially in the military industry.

He sighed and said with a constipated look on his face: "Okay, then I'll go back and reply to Guanghua's office now, and you guys should also prepare the aftermath procedures for the issue at hand."

After explaining the matter, Zhang Yue left.

He didn't want to stay in this sad place for a moment.

…

Xidu.

Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Peng Zhangquan walked out of the director's office with a complicated look on his face.

Back in the laboratory, looking at the experimenters who were still busy, he opened his mouth and finally turned into a sigh.

Experiments and experiments, without funds, we cannot support subsequent experiments.

"Do you really want to join Guanghua University's project?" Peng Zhangquan's eyes were blank.

As the leader of this team, he is the backbone. Anyone can be confused, but not him.

At this time, a young man in a white coat walked over quickly.

"Teacher, this is the experiment we just did. Take a look at this set of data and see where we still need to adjust."

Peng Zhangquan continued the data with a smile on his face. This young man was one of his doctoral students. He was talented and also full of enthusiasm for scientific research.

"Okay, let me take a look."

"There is something that needs to be changed. I'll mark it for you. You can do another set of experiments to verify this..." As he spoke, he picked up the pen and made changes to the data.

"Okay teacher, I understand!"

Watching the other party's leaving figure, Peng Zhangquan's heart could not calm down for a long time.

He glanced at the other researchers in the laboratory a few more times.

His lips moved a few times.

He turned around and left without saying anything.

These people have such a passion for scientific research that even if their experiments fail many times, even if the projects they apply for have no results, it has not dampened their confidence.

Their purity and enthusiasm for scientific research cannot be destroyed because of his selfishness.

Walk back to the door of the director's office.

His fist knocked lightly on the wooden door.

It also struck a chord in his heart.
