Chapter 351: Pretend to be cool when 1

Wang Haifeng has been very upset recently.
Or more precisely, he has not been happy in the past six months.
Firstly, the opening report was called back for redoing because of novelty, and it was dug up by a general from Jinling Institute of Computing Materials.
Seriously, he never thought about that little Liu, who had a big eyebrow and looked honest, would betray him.
That's all right. There weren't many students with the ability in his laboratory at first. The one with the most ability left. Many of the things that were originally left to Liu Hong to do, now have to be played by his veteran himself.
All the way up and down, the project was finally applied, and the research funding was gradually in place.
However, within a few days, "bad news" came from across the Pacific Ocean. The Binghamton University Materials Research Institute sponsored by Exxon Mobil developed a cage-like carbon molecule that successfully solved lithium-sulfur batteries. Shuttle effect.
This paper was published in the top journal of the chemical industry "jacs" and was highly publicized by ExxonMobil. Now the attention of the entire academic and industrial world is focused on Professor Stanley and his thesis.
It is not only Wang Haifeng that is affected by this news. Almost all domestic research teams working on lithium-sulfur battery projects, especially the "shuttle effect", have been greatly affected.
Especially for the horizontal issue of getting money from companies, many companies have cut their investment in this area because of cost considerations.
Those research teams that can't get even the periodic results can even face the dilemma of being divested.
In contrast, Wang Haifeng is still relatively lucky.
As a Yangtze River scholar, he applied for a project not in a horizontal project, but in a vertical project. He took money from the National Science Foundation.
Compared with cooperation with enterprises, vertical issues do not need to consider the issue of "profit and loss", and are less affected by changes in the market environment. Although it is not easy to make money horizontally and various management procedures are troublesome, the benefit is stability.
At least, don't worry about halfway through the project. Investors can't see the results for a long time.
However, ExxonMobil has taken the lead in establishing patent barriers on lithium-sulfur batteries and mastering the pricing right of lithium-sulfur battery cathode materials, which is a bad news for the global new energy industry.
Regarding such an ending, although Wang Haifeng felt sorry for the future of domestic new energy companies, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of comfort in his heart.
As for where this comfort comes from ...
At least, it wasn't the boy Lu Lu who took the lead on lithium-sulfur batteries.
After all, Professor Stanley is also a big bull in the field of lithium batteries. The earliest model of lithium batteries was made by this one. Even if he loses to him, there is nothing disgraceful. It can even be said that he has lost some gold on his face.
However, if he lost to Lu Zhou's junior, then Wang Haifeng really felt that his old face had no place to rest.
After class, Professor Wang is preparing to walk to the experimental building.
At this moment, a man in a suit and an assistant greeted him.
Looking at the strange man and his assistant behind him, Wang Haifeng frowned and asked.
"you are?"
The man in the suit with a friendly smile on his face reached out and handed out his business card.
"Hello, I'm a reporter for Science News. You can call me Xiao Li."
"Science?" Wang Haifeng frowned. "What's the matter with you?"
Xiao Li said respectfully: "Yes, I know from many places that you are a big bull in the field of battery materials, so I would like to interview you about battery issues. I wonder if you have time now?"
Originally, Wang Haifeng did not intend to be interviewed, but when he heard the word "Big Niu", he couldn't help feeling a little bit fluttering, and he said casually.
"I'm very busy. I can only give you ten minutes at most. If you have any questions, you can ask directly."
"Okay, Professor Wang." The little Li's face suddenly showed a bright smile, and he gestured to the assistant behind him to take notes. At the same time, he took out the recording pen and opened it, and began to ask, "About the one published on" jacs " What is your opinion on this thesis written by Professor Stanley? "
Wang Haifeng said eloquently: "At present, no conclusion has been reached in the academic world, but the author of this paper is Professor Stanley after all, and his credibility is quite high in terms of his academic reputation."
Xiao Li continued to ask: "Which do you think this cage carbon molecule has more industrial application prospects than the hcs-1 material previously developed by Professor Lu?"
"Hcs-1?" Wang Haifeng chuckled and shook his head. "The two are not comparable at all. If the former is a lamp, then the latter is probably equivalent to the tail of a firefly. If you have to say, two That's the gap between the two. "
Having said that, Wang Haifeng wanted to laugh.
What is the result of paying attention to the professor in his twenties?
It hasn't been preempted by others.
Xiao Liyi wondered: "Is this analogy ... a bit exaggerated?"
Wang Haifeng said unhurriedly: "It's not an exaggeration at all, but I'm rather conservative. You are a layman and may not know much about the material science industry. In fact, in our field, although it will happen every once in a while, Excellent research results have been born, but even less than 10% of these research results have industrial application prospects. The hcs-1 material is considered to be a staged result, which is a good result from an academic perspective. But For industry, this technology is worthless. Do you think anyone is interested in his patents? Not at all. "
Xiao Li nodded, and continued to ask, "How can you be sure that the cage-like carbon molecule obtained by Professor Stanley's research team must have industrial application prospects? Is it through the data in the paper?"
"The focus is naturally not on the dissertation, but on the attitude of Exxon Mobil. The international energy giants, but the masters who don't see rabbits and eagles can arouse their interest. This technology is obviously not fake. Over the expression of people, Wang Haifeng continued with emotion, "I have to say, this hollow carbon sphere is a very good direction. Not only is Professor Lu's team studying, many domestic research teams are also doing this direction. It certainly includes myself. "
"I think that Professor Lu's high-profile statements about hollow carbon are not a suitable choice. Even if you are really optimistic, you can keep it for yourself? Maybe people did not originally have the idea of ​​researching in this direction. When you say that, others find it quite reasonable, and if you don't know, just do it as you think. "
"But I can understand, after all, it's a young man, and he's a bit younger. When he gets a little older, he might learn what it means to be stable."
When he said this, Professor Wang's expression was regretful.
As if the reason for losing this time, half of the pot is because of the "pig teammate" Lu Zhou, the words are too clear.
In fact, what he said was a little bit worried.
Prior to that seminar, there were not many teams who chose hollow carbon spheres as their research direction. Whether at home or abroad, they were far from hot.
Including Wang Haifeng himself, although he has been making carbon-sulfur composites long ago, at the beginning, he did not take the idea of ​​hollow carbon spheres to design experiments.
What's more, publishing the contents of the seminar has nothing to do with Lu Zhou, which was decided above.
However, the mouth is on him, and naturally, it is up to him to decide what to say.
As soon as Xiao Li's eyes lighted, she smelled the news from Wang Haifeng's tone, and immediately asked, "What is your evaluation of Professor Lu?"
Wang Haifeng smiled, looking like a worldly senior, and leisurely commented: "He is a scientific researcher, and can go a long way to any research institute.
Xiao Li: "Why do you say that?"
Professor Wang laughed loudly: "Look at the Jinling Institute of Computing Materials, which has nearly 100 million US dollars of funds thrown in. Have you made a splash?"
Although this was a bit sour ~ EbookFREE.me ~, he was not embarrassed when he said it.
After all, the limited application prospect of hcs-1 is not Thaksin's mouth, but everyone can see it ...
I installed a big force in front of the reporter. At this moment, Wang Haifeng feels like eating a popsicle in San Futian, but he just feels uncomfortable.
Humming Xiaoqu returned to the laboratory, he sat swaying in the office chair.
At this time, his newly hired teaching assistant, holding a journal he just sent, entered the laboratory and walked towards him.
"Professor, this is the new Science. You told me before that I would send it to you as soon as I received this journal. Then I ... put it here first."
"Well, let it be," Suddenly, Wang Haifeng noticed that the expression on the assistant's face was a bit wrong, and he frowned slightly. "What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing," put the journal on the table, the assistant coach grinned, and refused to say anything. After sending the journal over, he hurried away.
He smelled an unusual smell from that voice. Wang Haifeng frowned, but didn't say anything, just reached out and picked up the brand-new "Science".
However, just as he was about to open the cover and was going to look at the content, his hand stopped suddenly.
It wasn't just the movements of his hands that stopped, along with his sight, or even his breathing, he was frozen there as if he had lost his petrification.
I saw that on the cover of this issue of Science, the "highlights" section was set up with a line of text.
That's Wang Haifeng, and I don't want to see it anyway--
[Hcs-2 material: the terminator of the shuttle effect]
