"Cathode material, lithium cobalt oxide gel, negative electrode material carbon crystal. Limited voltage 3.86V, limited charging voltage 4.5V, rated capacity 8500mAh... "
Mo Nu was reporting the battery data, but Chen Mo was holding the battery in his hand and observing it carefully.
In three days, Chen Mo finally successfully made the first carbon crystal-based lithium-ion battery according to the butterfly eye battery size after pulping, coating and assembly.
Like all ordinary batteries, carbon crystal-based batteries also include three parts: positive electrode, negative electrode and electrolyte. The only difference is the material.
Carbon crystals can greatly increase the charge and discharge capacity of lithium ions and the number of charges.
This makes the capacity of carbon crystal-based lithium-ion batteries better than batteries made of other materials.
There are defects in the atomic structure of carbon crystal, which makes it not very rigid, tough and ductile. Therefore, it is not as versatile as a super material like graphene. Its only use is to serve as the negative electrode of a battery, embedding lithium ions.
It is this single use that limits its continued development, so it is a low-level technology.
However, before graphene battery technology is fully mature, carbon crystal-based batteries are a very good product. Because its electric capacity is about twice that of lithium-ion batteries already on the market.
"Mo Nu, your carbon crystal synthesis-related technologies will be compiled into patent application materials and printed out." Chen Mo put down the battery in his hand and said.
"Okay, brother Mo."
After a while, the printer connected to the computer in the laboratory rang. After obtaining the technical patent information on carbon crystal synthesis, Chen Mo left the laboratory.
Today is the day for mass production experiments, and Zhao Min has been waiting for him.
Walking to Zhao Min's office, Chen Mo handed her the patent application information in his hand: "This is the patent application information for carbon crystal."
"So fast?"
Zhao Min picked up the information and took a look at it. There were many professional terms on it, but she just took a look and put it down.
With the new material, Zhao Min is now extremely curious about Chen Mo's head. What exactly is inside, and how long does it take from the discovery of a new material to its application
This kind of research cycle is so short that people who don’t know it think Tesla has reincarnated.
"I have been sorting out the data since the beginning of the experiment. Next, I will go to the factory. The batteries have come out and I have confirmed that the materials are useful. The next step is the mass production experiment." Chen Mo said.
"What is the capacity of the battery it produces?" Zhao Min asked curiously.
"Are you using the Butterfly Eye now? The new battery has come out. According to preliminary calculations, it can last for 35 hours."
Zhao Min took a breath of air, her eyes full of surprise.
Nowadays, most mobile phones on the market have only a dozen hours of battery life. Chen Mo’s figure means that the battery life of mobile phones has been more than doubled.
"Let's go to the factory."
Zhao Min followed Chen Mo out of the office. The two walked out, and Xiao Yu followed Chen Mo holding the documents. Speeding all the way, a group of people arrived at the factory.
After Chen Mo said he entered the industry, Zhao Min began to acquire factories. This factory is closest to the company's office building, so it has been transformed into a pilot plant for research and use.
The equipment Chen Morang bought has already been installed here, and the raw materials for graphite are also ready.
As soon as they arrived at the factory, the director of the factory hurriedly greeted them.
The factory director's name is Wan Mingyi, a middle-aged man in his forties. In the past, this factory closed down. The boss went abroad for money and defaulted on bank loans and employee wages. The court auctioned off the factory and equipment, and Zhao Min finally bought them all. The workers were still workers in the original factory and were very familiar with some production processes.
Wan Mingyi became cautious after seeing Chen Mo and Zhao Min.
Now, anyone who pays a little attention to the news will know the name of Army Ant Company, especially people from Binhai City.
"Where is the production workshop?" Chen Mo asked.
"Over here." Wan Mingyi said to you.
"Ask a few smart technicians to come over, and I will tell you the production process and some precautions." Chen Mo said.
"OK."
Wan Mingyi selected several technicians from among the factory workers and followed Chen Mo into the production workshop.
Seeing the machines and high-pressure reaction tanks in the workshop, Chen Mo walked over, turned on the equipment's control system, and started setting parameters. In the production of carbon crystals, this data is the most important. If it is wrong, the purity of the carbon crystals will be affected.
"Start feeding materials now." Chen Mo said: "Two people will operate the reaction tank." Chen Mo shouted to the employees behind him.
"Ahua, Daqiang, you two go over there." Two young technicians beside Wan Mingyi said.
"boss."
After the two of them walked to Chen Mo, they greeted Chen Mo cautiously. They had to admire this boss who was younger than them.
"This position has a very simple task, which is to be responsible for the switch of the reaction tank. After the raw materials are put in, the reaction tank will be turned on. I have set the specific parameters. When the temperature indicator light indicates that it is completed, you can turn on the pressure button... "
Chen Mo explained all the necessary steps to the two of them. After making sure that both of them understood, he stopped.
Chen Mo did not tell anyone the specific data. Data is the key to carbon crystal synthesis. If the data is exposed, then your efforts will be in vain.
"I will demonstrate the operation below." After the raw materials were put in, Chen Mo turned on the reactor.
The people behind were all focused on the reaction tank. After about fifteen minutes, the high-pressure reaction tank stopped operating.
After the reaction tank was opened, a large number of carbon wafers of different sizes were poured onto the assembly line. All the machines stopped, and the factory employees all focused on the pile of carbon crystals on the conveyor line.
This dark thing is what they want to produce.
Chen Mo took out a piece of carbon crystal from the assembly line, walked to the instrument, and put it in it. Not long after, Chen Mo frowned when he saw the 79% purity displayed on it.
The purity is 3% lower than the laboratory's and lower than the standard 80%.
This is understandable. After all, the instruments and equipment in the laboratory are much more sophisticated than here. Under the same conditions, the purity is slightly lower, which is completely acceptable.
"This batch of materials will all be scrapped and destroyed, and raw materials will continue to be put in."
Chen Mo picked up his notebook and wrote down the current parameters. After a little calculation, he walked back to the instrument and started another experimental attempt.
The precision of the equipment is different, which has an impact on production.
After modifying the data, while waiting, Chen Mo explained other things to pay attention to.
"Director Wan, when production starts in the future, from each batch of materials, you have people randomly select 20 pieces for testing. Once there is a piece with a purity lower than 80, just like just now, all the materials in that batch will be discarded."
"Okay." Wan Mingyi nodded.
Two hours later, Chen Mo looked at the 82% displayed on the purity test and let out a breath. After four data modifications, the purity was finally improved.
"In the future, we will produce according to this data, and the reaction will be poured there. We must control it well."
"I understand." Wan Mingyi nodded.
The success of the mass production test has made many people breathe a sigh of relief. After explaining some things clearly, Chen Mocai and everyone rushed back to the company. After instructing Zhao Min to acquire several more factories and prepare for battery production, Chen Mo returned to the office.
"Mo Girl."
"Brother Mo, Mo Nu is here." Mo Nu said as soon as Chen Mo opened his mouth.
"On the company's official website, in my name, announce the discovery of the new material carbon crystal. Do not publish the technical data."
Updates are late, two updates today and one more tonight. I went to bed at three o'clock in the morning today and couldn't concentrate on coding. Recommendations, collections, and rewards kept coming. . When the condition is good, I will update again.
