311 World-class tech frenzy
China Qiang is truly a university professor. He has a thorough understanding of science/literature.
His words were obvious, that is, he did not object to Chen Yao's development in the entertainment industry.
However, the professor also has a requirement.
He said with a stern face: "If your entertainment affects your scientific research and cannot produce results in scientific research, I will try my best to stop you from becoming a star."
Chen Yao smiled. This situation does not exist. Who is he? He is a person with golden fingers.
The development of entertainment will not only not affect scientific research, but will go further and further on the entertainment road, and the achievements of scientific research will become higher and higher!
Chen Yao plugged the USB drive into the computer's USB socket, and then copied some of the research data and displayed it in front of the professor.
"The two biggest problems of graphene are that they cannot be commercialized. The reason why they cannot be commercialized is that the cost is too high.
I want to achieve mass production and reduce prices, my research results are all here."
Zhong Guoqiang carefully looked at these data, and the more he looked, the more shocked he became. The industrialization of graphene provided a new idea.
By improving the graphene production process, the price of materials can be reduced by 30 times, which is about 100,000 yuan per ton.
On the market, the price of high-purity graphene is more than 5,000 yuan per gram.
The price of gold is about 350 yuan per gram.
In other words, graphene is more expensive than gold.
Think about it, a gram costs 5,000 yuan. If it is used to make a battery, how expensive will a mobile phone be?
This is just a battery. If the chips and screens are all made of graphene, this mobile phone is even more expensive, and the price of a mobile phone is comparable to a car.
This is not an exaggeration. Some foreign companies made a bicycle frame with graphene, which weighs only 350 passengers, which is slightly heavier than a mobile phone, but its strength is stronger and harder than steel.
Isn’t such a light bike very attractive, but it costs 120,000 yuan.
What commercial value can such expensive materials have?
In the past two years, some companies have improved their production technology and can reduce the price to 3 yuan per gram.
It seems very low, but it costs 3 million per ton, and its price is still very high compared to other materials.
Moreover, the graphene on the market that costs 3 yuan per gram is not a real single-layer graphene. It is stacked in multiple layers and only has a part of the graphene performance.
A truly high-performance graphene material is high purity and a single layer.
It is extremely difficult to peel off graphene with a single-layer structure and extremely high production cost.
Graphene is peeled from graphite, so what is graphite?
The pencil used for writing, and the pencil's refill is graphite.
Graphite is superimposed by layers of graphene, and a millimeter of graphite has 3 million layers of graphene.
When writing with a pencil, hundreds of layers of graphene were already scratched with a light stroke on the white paper.
Think about it, there are 3 million layers of graphene in one millimeter. How difficult is it to get a single layer of graphene?
If you want to successfully peel off the single layer of graphene, there are two types: machinery and chemistry. Professor Zhong and their team also use these two methods.
But no matter which one it is, it has its advantages and disadvantages.
Mechanical peeling and mechanical precision requirements are extremely high, making it difficult to quantify the graphite.
Chemical peeling allows large-scale acquisition of graphene, but the cost is too high and it still has no market value in the end.
The research plan proposed by Chen Yao now uses ultrasound!
Yes, ultrasonic technology!
The vibration frequency of ultrasonic waves is used to cut graphite within a very short distance to obtain complete, high purity, and single-layer graphene.
Chen Yao led his team to develop this ultrasonic machine. There is no company in the world that can make such an ultrasonic cutting machine.
Chen Yao said quickly: "Professor, next, I need your disciples to cooperate."
Zhong Guoqiang's research institute has a large number of postdoctoral researchers, all of whom are national elites. With their cooperation, the research and development progress will be much faster.
Zhong Guoqiang immediately walked out of the laboratory, made a phone call, and held a meeting.
Ten minutes later, more than 300 postdoctoral researchers walked into the conference room and they sat down in the seat.
Professor Zhong Guoqiang stood beside Chen Yao and introduced: "This is the founder of the legendary trajectory, Chen Yao.
Without me introducing it, you all know how outstanding his achievements are.
In the days to come, you will all listen to him, cooperate with his work, and study the most advanced graphene production process."
These national-level researchers are a little arrogant. At first, they were unwilling to do so, so why should they listen to him?
Although the legendary trajectory is very powerful, mass production of graphene is a world-class problem. Can he handle it?
Materials science is relatively weak in China, and many new materials originate from the United States, Japan and Europe.
First, they started early, and second, their basic science is relatively solid.
But the reality of domestic basic science is that the gap is quite obvious.
It is difficult to do basic research on materials, invest a lot, find it difficult to produce results, and it is difficult to commercialize.
To put it bluntly, it is hard to make money by investing too much money.
It is a long process to develop a new material and realize commercialization.
But once a big breakthrough is made, it is often the beginning of a scientific and technological revolution.
How did the Silicon Valley in the United States come into being?
It is the invention of the material "silicon" that gave birth to Silicon Valley, a world-class science and technology innovation center.
Intel, Qualcomm, IBM and other technology giants are emerging.
And graphene is known as the "king of materials"!
Like "silicon", graphene is also a semiconductor material, and its performance is far beyond "silicon".
It can be used in the production of batteries, screens, and chips, and has a wide range of uses.
If graphene is used as a chip, its operating frequency can be 100 times that of silicon!
Chen Yao quickly typed a line of words and projected the text on the big screen behind him.
A country with strong technology and overtakes on the curve.
Chen Yao faced everyone here: "As we all know, the chips of the mobile phones we use today are made of silicon, but silicon is not perfect.
For example, poor heat dissipation performance.
Why is the United States so developed? Did the United States discover "silicon"? No, silicon materials were not discovered by them.
However, the United States is the one who applies silicon materials best.
Is graphene discovered in our country? No.
Whoever discovers first is not the focus, but the focus is on application.
We can take the lead and apply graphene materials to the best!
The next era is the era of graphene. This material can subvert the world's technology industry and let Huaxia's technology lead the world.
