Catherine is ambitious to develop new computer technology in the future and start a new technological era.

But at this time, an unfeasible plan for lithium batteries was placed in front of Catherine.

The person who handed over this report happened to be the project leader of the sodium battery, Anthony.

"Although lithium batteries have broad prospects, they have embarked on a journey of decline since the time they were produced. On the contrary, simply speaking, the working principle of lithium batteries is as follows: the anode (negative electrode) is made of

Composed of non-metallic lithium compounds and composed of carbon

The formed yin electrode (positive electrode) is connected. When charging, lithium ions (or charged atoms) are forced to move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode under the action of external voltage, and then stored in the positive electrode. When discharging, these stored lithium ions flow back to the negative electrode.

An electric current is formed, providing energy for electronic devices.

——Inside the battery, the anode is the external negative electrode, and the internal yin electrode is the external positive electrode.

Charging and discharging are actually chemical reactions inside the battery, which are the movement of ions from the negative electrode to the positive electrode or from the positive electrode to the negative electrode. The compounds that make up the positive and negative electrodes change back and forth as the reaction proceeds.

The aging of a battery inevitably starts from the moment it is produced, and this process is irreversible. Because the work of the battery is a chemical reaction process, consumption is inevitable. After all, any chemical reaction cannot exist in an ideal state.

There will be a loss of energy and the formation of some additional substances, and the same is true for the reactions in the battery.

On the contrary, the vanadium battery proposed by Catherine is very effective to a certain extent.

"Although the same situation exists in sodium batteries, under the same circumstances, sodium batteries are cheaper and more effective. Low-priced sodium batteries can replace our battery before its capacity starts to decrease..."

To put it bluntly, Anthony is defending sodium batteries.

Sodium batteries and lithium batteries are similar, but the research on sodium batteries seems to be more troublesome than lithium batteries.

But as Anthony said, if the research is done, according to the current situation, sodium batteries will obviously be cheaper.

No battery on the market can effectively suppress this aging process. But this does not mean that there is no solution. It is just because consumers do not want to spend too many dollars on buying batteries, so battery manufacturers can only follow the principle of low cost.

.

Market demand determines product performance. Consumers do not want the battery to be too expensive, but they also require it to be as small as possible and to last as long as possible. In desperation, this can only sacrifice the life of the battery. Therefore, the market in the 21st century is flooded with

It has a cheap, compact, long-lasting battery, but a terrible battery life.

In addition, there are some human factors that contribute to the short life of these expensive electronic products.

——In the 21st century, people usually change their mobile phones every two years, not because the mobile phone is broken but because it has been replaced, and the same is true for most laptops.

Cheap and easy to maintain, these are the advantages of sodium batteries over lithium batteries.

Catherine herself actually wanted a vanadium battery at this time. Only vanadium batteries are powerful batteries that can last for a long time.

But will expensive vanadium batteries be what people need?

Catherine patted her head. She realized that she seemed to be in the wrong direction.

——What the market needs is not products that can last for a long time, but products that can meet their needs.

Catherine once thought about developing a rechargeable battery that could be used in cars, but Catherine found that it would be better if a more efficient fuel cell was used. Although the fuel cell requires hydrogen, its efficiency is higher. It is no better than going to refuel.

Standing is more troublesome.

This is much better than having the car take half an hour to charge every day - when the car fails, just replace the battery.

The same goes for mobile phone products.

Apart from anything else, Catherine's current Apple mobile phone is already in the process of preparing for the third generation. The previous two generations of mobile phones will be eliminated in a few years. What will the battery be used for by then?

Perhaps the energy density of sodium batteries is not as high as that of lithium batteries, but compared to electronic products, it is sufficient.

If you use carbon nanotubes as manufacturing materials and maintain carbon nanotubes at the nanometer level, you can also maximize the energy saving characteristics!

By then, the product will be ready.

"So, the direction is wrong..."

Of course, it may be Anthony's selfishness, but Anthony's report is indeed a very powerful solution for Catherine.

There is always more than one solution.

If the battery is not powerful, why can't we start from using electrical appliances?

why not?

At this time, Catherine thought of Intel in the 21st century and its Intel laboratories.

Intel Labs is a very interesting department, responsible for developing technologies that can potentially be put into production in the next 5 to 10 years. It was from this lab that bbul packaging technology (that is, built-in non-concave-convex layer packaging) and the first mainframe were born.

x86 structured arithmetic logic unit with frequency reaching 10ghz.

What Catherine understands is not this, but the concept of "computing to zero" proposed by this department, that is, "meaningful-compute" will be close to zero energy consumption, that is to say, in our future

In daily life, computing will be everywhere.

Intel does not exactly define "meaningful calculation" but it is understood literally, such as adding two numbers together, which is called calculation, but it is not particularly meaningful, but it is like accurately measuring the geospatial location through GPS, making a phone call

, or playing games, these can be regarded as "meaningful".

By 2013, Intel hopes to bring the 14nm process to the market, and then shrink it a little every two years. If there are no unforeseen technical obstacles, it will be 10nm in 2015, 7nm in 2017, and 5nm in 2019.

When the process reaches 5 nanometers, around 2012 or 2013, the size of the processor will shrink from the size of a dime to the size of a small LED light.

For Catherine, as long as she finds a 5-nanometer carbon nanotube, the same meaning can be achieved.

Reduce computing energy consumption to an almost "zero energy consumption" level. Such a change will be revolutionary!

But Catherine has the opportunity to have it.

If you produce a processor with 21st century i7 capabilities, it will cost you $100,000, but if you divide it into 100 parts, the price of each part is $1,000 - although it cannot really be calculated like this, but

This is not too much.

For some other mobile devices, such as mobile phones, it is possible to shrink the processor. At that time, the energy consumption of 5 nanometer-level processors was definitely very little, let alone

Sodium battery, even if you use the current lead battery, it may be able to last for a long time!

Based on this, Catherine believed that she was in the wrong direction.

With a little respect for Anthony, Catherine continued to watch the other party's report...

"As we continued our research, we learned from the school district's research a method of using carbon nanotubes to turn powder into fibers to create a carbon nanotube yarn. This magical yarn 'does both

"Two jobs' - it has a self-purification function and can be used as a battery."

Wait...is this a crazy situation?

Why is it carbon nanotube material again?!

"Carbon nanotube materials are very popular now~~~Okay?"

Catherine asked Elsa strangely.

"I don't know, but records show that S protein has been in short supply recently, and many laboratories want to apply for carbon nanotube materials for research. According to your opinion, after meeting our own needs, S protein is the most

Priority will be given to continuing supply to laboratories that cooperate with us..."

S protein is essentially a "material synthesizer". This synthesizer also has a screening function during synthesis. After screening the carbon nanotubes obtained through laboratory methods, more convenient products can be obtained.

"This new technology can create huge 'fiber batteries' - it does not make the battery into fibers, but the battery itself is the fiber, and the fiber itself is also the battery. Compared with sodium batteries, carbon nanotube yarns are more

It’s feasible…”

(I was wrong, this guy was not covering up sodium batteries at all, but using sodium batteries to belittle lithium batteries, and then launching this fiber battery...)

Catherine had a bad expression.

No wonder I suddenly received such a report. The person I was in love with didn't want my current technology, but wanted to develop new technology... What a scam, this is it!

Give me back the feelings I wasted!

Science and technology have advanced to the point where what people build is limited only by their own imagination.

There is nothing you can't think of and nothing you can't do.

Although it seems that carbon nanotubes have become a "panacea" that can be used for everything, Catherine feels that if it can be used, it might be very good...

"Perhaps our most important goal now is to obtain a method for mass production of S protein and carbon nanotubes..."

Catherine suddenly realized that this was the focus she needed, and the previous ones were all small sections.

Whether it is a CPU or the current new technology, it is all based on the existence of carbon nanotubes and S-protein.

Only by mass-producing carbon nanotubes can we have more materials, reduce costs, and conduct more research...

After discovering that she had gone astray, Catherine immediately noticed that this was what she wanted to do.

…

Anthony appeared in Chapter 700+, when Golden Dragon Energy merged...

Well, there are two more updates.!
