I Am the President of the University

  Chapter 488 Penn's Science Madman

  Pennsylvan State University, or PSU for short, was founded in 1855. It has 23 "branch campuses", one of the public Ivy League, and is ranked 78 in the world. It has several majors in the top ten in the world, and it has strong engineering.

  It should be noted here that there are often various "branch schools" in the beautiful country.

  For example, Penn State University here has 23 campuses, and the University of California has 10 campuses.

  Although these are all branch campuses, they are not subordinate, they are side by side, they are independent and all belong to the local state university system.

  This kind of branch school has a different meaning from the domestic branch campus, but it is translated into a school in the country.

  Twenty-three branches of Pennsylvania State University, only the main campus Parker is among the top 100 universities in the world, and the other 22 branches are relatively average.

  It’s the University of California that is more powerful. Eight out of ten campuses are among the top 100 universities in the world.

  The most powerful is of course the University of California, Berkeley, which was founded in 1868 and ranks among the top 10 universities in the world.

In addition to   , there are 3 branch schools ranked 10-20, the remaining 4 are within the 100, and only 2 branch schools are outside the 100.

  In the coffee shop.

  Bunnier looked at Chen Hao curiously. Before Chen Hao returned to China, he was already well-known in the academic circles of the beautiful country and was hailed as a genius of MIT.

  Of course, what is even more powerful is the turmoil after returning home, which makes many people dumbfounded.

  It turned out to have underestimated this guy in the past.

  "President Chen, do you want to sponsor research on lithium-air batteries?" Seeing Chen Hao sipping coffee leisurely, Professor Buniel couldn't help but speak.

   "There is this intention." Chen Hao nodded, but didn't say anything to death.

   Hearing it was just an intention, Buniel was a little disappointed in his heart and laughed at himself, “Yes, after all, lithium-air batteries are not as valued as all-solid-state lithium batteries.”

  Of course, more importantly, continuous investment.

It’s just that this is definitely not a problem for Chen Hao. Although Bunir is a university professor, he still has a little understanding of the affairs of Guanghua University and Chen Hao. The investment of tens of millions of dollars a year is not counted in the eyes of the other party. what.

   Feeling the loss in Bunir’s tone, Chen Hao smiled faintly, and denied the other side: “No, no, no, I think lithium-air batteries are more promising than all-solid-state lithium batteries. It’s just...”

  Chen Hao turned around, looked at the opponent directly, and asked: “It’s just that the four major technical problems currently faced by lithium-air battery technology are solved by Professor Buniel?”

  Lithium-air battery technology is of course good, science and industry know it, but there are too many technical difficulties to overcome.

   is mainly concentrated in four aspects:

  1. Lithium dendrite suppression of metallic lithium;

  2, Li+ solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity;

  3. The interference of CO2 in the air: Lithium carbonate cannot be recycled again;

  4. The water and air of the air electrode are isolated from the metal lithium negative electrode.

   "There is one I have already got a bit of eyebrows." Buniel mentioned this, and suddenly his eyebrows danced.

   "Which one?"

"the fourth."

  Chen Hao was shocked, the most difficult of these four difficulties is the last one.

"The core of the technical difficulty of lithium-air batteries is the solid electrolyte membrane. The lithium-air batteries currently used in the scientific community are basically conductive glass membranes made of inorganic ceramics such as LATP and LLZTO. The Li+ conductivity is less than 0.001S/cm, which is brittle and fragile. Hard, easy to break under pressure changes, and poor contact with the metal lithium sheet, it is difficult to completely cover."

   "Professor Buniel, how did you solve this problem?" Chen Hao's eyes were eager.

"I studied a water-organic combined electrolyte. After Li+ is discharged, it enters the water and dissolves into lithium hydroxide. The efficiency is very high. It has a high probability to isolate the water and prevent the contact between the water and the lithium metal sheet." Speaking without pause, it is obvious that there is a draft.

  “Then how to isolate the contact between water and lithium metal flakes?” Chen Hao asked.

   Bunir didn’t speak, but just blinked and smiled.

  Chen Hao let out a laugh and slapped his head. He really made a joke for a while.

  Such a difficult technique, only fools can speak out.

  "Professor Buniel, as long as you join Guanghua University, the school can support you to continue your research on lithium-air batteries. You can think about it." Chen Hao did not think, and seriously invited.

  "Great!" Professor Buniel was happy and couldn't help cheering, and even attracted the attention of the people around him.

"Don't think about it. I will take the most recent flight back tonight to pack my things, and I will come back immediately after handling it." Professor Buniel was a little excited for a while. The lithium-air battery was his painstaking effort over the years, but no one was willing to support it. His research.

  Fortunately, this problem was finally solved today.

  Finally, he still asked Chen Hao a little nervously.

   "Principal Chen, this lithium-air battery will be a huge investment, and... it may not be successful."

   "It's okay, it's hard to say anything else, but money is a number to me." Chen Hao shook his head and smiled.

  Li-air battery technology, even with a 10% success rate, is worth trying, not to mention that Professor Bunier alone is worth 15% success rate. After forming a complete team, it should be able to exceed 20%.

   "Call—"

   With Chen Hao’s assurance, Buniel was relieved, panting with big mouths, as if he were a saved drowning man.

  Chen Hao stood up and reached out to the opponent.

  "Welcome to Guanghua University!"

  ……

A few minutes later.

  Looking at Bunir hurriedly returning to the hotel, Chen Hao showed a thoughtful appearance.

  Old technology, maturity and decline;

  New technology, birth and twists and turns.

  Can lithium-air batteries be developed?

  He didn’t know, even if it was a gamble.

   "I don't need it anyway, it's nothing more than smashing hundreds of millions or billions in." Thinking of this, Chen Hao was a little excited.

  This little money is not worth mentioning to him. In short, the prospects for lithium-air batteries are still good.

  Professor Buniel, his ability may be fine, but is he trustworthy?

  Take out the phone and check the time. It is 11 o'clock in the morning, which is 10 o'clock in the evening EDT.

   made a call to an old acquaintance.

   "Hey, Old Chen, what's the matter?"

  Cao Lihao’s voice came over the phone. This time it was rare that the other party had no electronic sound, and Chen Hao raised his brows.

   "Mouse, do you have any friends at Penn Park?"

   "Yes, what's up?"

   "Help me find someone."

  "Who?" Cao Lihao asked curiously~www.wuxiahere.com~ a professor named Bunier, help me inquire about this person's character and reputation. "Chen Hao thought for a while and said.

  Even if the opponent's character and reputation are not good, he will still use him.

  But how the ability and character are equal, the way and the emphasis will be different.

   "Okay, no problem. What else is there, I have to do some learning!" Cao Lihao vomited.

  "Who is studying? Is your new girlfriend's nickname?" Chen Hao teased.

   "gun!"

   "Hang up, I'll talk to you if I have news."

  To arrange things well, Chen Hao was relieved and thought about it.

  For a while, I was in a trance.

  He whispered to himself:

  "Is the era of lithium-air batteries coming?"

  (Don’t read the next chapter first, I haven’t finished it yet, wait for 2 o’clock and then read the next chapter)
