I Have a Research Support System

Monday morning, group meeting.

Wu Feifei first reported that she just submitted an article last week and is now looking for a new research direction, so she has no experimental data.

Xu Qiu saw that she only had one page of PPT, which listed four short messages:

"Heated Coater, X", "Perovskite Single Crystal, Thermoelectric Field", "Charge Transport Mechanism, Continuous Research", "Thermal Stability Additive, Calcium Chloride".

"Today I will mainly talk about the outlook for future work, mainly in these four points." Wu Feifei shook the light spot of the laser pointer on the projection cloth, and continued:

"First of all, last week, I used a newly arrived heating-type coating machine to try thermal spin coating of perovskite devices. I used two traditional systems, MAPbI3 and FAPbI3, but the morphology of the obtained films was not good, and the performance of the devices It is not as high as the standard sample, so this idea is temporarily shelved.

Secondly, I plan to make a batch of perovskite single crystals, and then use them in the field of thermoelectricity. I have discussed with Duan Yun, and it is feasible to a certain extent. Now I am summarizing the relevant literature.

The third point is that regarding the charge transport of perovskite, I think that research can continue. In addition to the one just submitted by He Tianqing, our previous ammonium chloride additive and lead thiocyanate system, including the development of the future The new system can also conduct research in this area.

Finally, I have made a thermally decomposed ammonium chloride additive before, and now I plan to do a control experiment using calcium chloride additive to further explore the impact of thermal stability additives on the performance of traditional perovskite battery devices. "

"Okay, let's do as you imagined." Wei Xingsi nodded repeatedly, and he couldn't help feeling in his heart, Wu Feifei, and Xu Qiu, these two people are more worry-free.

Xu Qiu was at the side and listened carefully, but did not paddle. Although their fields are different, they still have certain reference value.

Wu Feifei's speech is relatively rational. Judging from her thinking, the route she intends to take should be to combine perovskite materials with other directions in the group, which is a bit similar to interdisciplinary subjects.

This can be regarded as the advantage of their research group. Although it is a group, there are a total of four research directions, which can echo each other.

During the listening process, he was also thinking about whether the organic photovoltaic materials he synthesized could also be introduced into perovskite batteries or thermoelectric applications?

But after thinking for a long time, Xu Qiu didn't have any good ideas.

I had no choice but to give up temporarily and silently write down this idea in my heart.

As for the research on charge transport performance, Tian Qing had tried it before.

However, since the active layer of the organic photovoltaic device is too thin, the charge mobility can only be measured with CELIV, which is merged into the corresponding article, so it is difficult to study in depth, and another article will be published.

Speaking of Tian Qing, she was a little late today and slipped in midway, but Teacher Wei just glanced at her and didn't say anything.

Next is Duan Yun.

Xu Qiu observed that he looked exceptionally high-spirited today, guessing that it was probably because of a breakthrough in research content.

After holding back for more than half a year, is the big move finally coming out?

Xu Qiu vaguely remembered that there were already signs during the group meeting last week.

As expected, Duan Yun didn't prepare the PPT, so he stood up and said:

"The PH1000 system doped with bismuth telluride, the relevant characterization data have been obtained, and I have also listed the framework of the article, and it will be ready to be written and dropped this week."

"Okay, after the next group meeting is over, you can show me the draft of the article." Wei Xingsi's face brightened.

Then there is Tian Qing.

She also didn't prepare PPT, she has been writing and revising articles for the last week.

On Sunday, her article was submitted. The article is a collaboration with Wu Feifei. She is the first author and Wu Feifei is the second author.

This news was learned by Xu Qiu from chatting with Wu Feifei and her senior in the morning.

The journal they voted for is Adv. Sci., which is a new journal launched by Wiley. one level lower.

In recent years, periodical companies have published new issues more and more frequently.

There is a high probability that more and more researchers are pouring into the scientific research circle, and there are more and more manuscripts on the market.

Xu Qiu also took a look at Tian Qing's article.

I don't have any special impression of the text, but I think the TOC illustrations of her article are not bad, and she should have drawn them by hand with a digital tablet.

After that was Chen Wanqing.

She mainly introduced the work content of last week, the light absorption spectrum of PCE11 under different processing temperatures.

"It can be seen that as the processing temperature increases..."

Just as the senior was looking at the picture and talking with great interest, Wei Xingsi suddenly raised his hand and interrupted, "Wait a minute."

Everyone looked towards Teacher Wei in unison, and even Tian Qing who was secretly playing with her mobile phone was attracted.

Wei Xingsi's eyes stayed on the computer screen. He operated the mouse with his right hand and swiped up and down, as if he was reading something.

After a few seconds, he leaned back in his chair and said with a smile on his face:

"Xu Qiu, the editor has agreed to accept your article."

"Wow." Duan Yun exclaimed exaggeratedly.

The others were more restrained, but they all cast envious eyes on Xu Qiu, making him the focus instantly.

Wei Xingsi continued: "Everyone should learn from Xu Qiu, and strive to post an AM before graduation."

Everyone only thought it was a sentence of chicken soup, and no one took it seriously, but they all nodded in cooperation.

"I won't find the golden red envelope this time, Xu Qiu, I'll transfer the money to you directly." Wei Xingsi said again.

This news came suddenly, but it was expected. After all, after receiving such positive review comments, as long as you don't die, it is only a matter of time before the article is accepted smoothly.

Therefore, the influence of this small episode did not last long, and the atmosphere of the group meeting was restored soon.

Chen Wanqing continued to report...

Xu Qiu took the time to turn on the system.

System prompts also follow:

[The advanced task has been completed, 5000 points have been obtained, and the authority level is +1. 】

[The current permission level is level 5, and the simulation experiment system has been upgraded. 】

[Simulation Experiment System I (LV4):

##

Xu Qiu was overjoyed, and a new function appeared again.

However, the group meeting is going on now, and he has no way to test it himself. He can only roughly analyze it through the text information given by the system.

The original simulation laboratory became the simulation experiment system I, except that the acceleration rate was doubled and the volume expanded ten times, the other parts remained the same.

The new function is the simulation experiment system II, which can create a simulation experimenter.

Xu Qiu felt that this so-called simulated experimenter should be similar to an experimental robot, who could only execute instructions rigidly without self-awareness.

In addition, the simulation experiment system II is consistent with the real time flow, which means that the simulation laboratory is running at any time, unlike the simulation experiment system I, time is suspended after he leaves.

Even when sleeping at night, if you give instructions to the simulated experimenter, you can automatically hang up and do the experiment, which is a lot more convenient.

The fly in the ointment is that it cannot be accelerated, and there is only one simulation experimenter now.

As for the new advanced task, it was beyond Xu Qiu's expectation.

He thought the system would allow him to publish an article for a top journal like CNS, but he didn't expect that it only asked for three articles in SCI.

After thinking about it, this is also good, there is a buffer.

If he was really given an advanced task like "publish an article in "Nature", it would be really difficult to handle.

Because for scientific researchers, the goal of publishing "Nature" is somewhat similar to becoming a god from a starting point.

Although there is no shortage of geniuses who conferred gods with one book at the beginning, they are only a minority after all. Most of them rely on the accumulation of a few books to gradually condense their godheads.

The same is true for the scientific research circle. It is too difficult to directly publish CNS in one step, and most of them need to rely on a large number of articles in the first and second districts to pave the way.

In fact, when Xu Qiu first got the golden finger, he also had a lot of second-year ideas, such as punching Niu Ton and kicking Einstein.

But with his development of cheats and his deepening understanding of the scientific research field, he has become much more pragmatic now.

The main reason is that although the system is powerful, it is only an auxiliary tool for scientific research and cannot be against the sky.

What kind of heights he can reach in the future, in the final analysis, still depends on himself.

...

After Chen Wanqing finished his report, it was Xu Qiu's turn. He got up and said:

"The four different side chain systems of P4T are now short of a cyclic voltammetry electrochemical experiment, and the data is complete. This week, I will complete the data and start writing an article.

Han Jiaying's P3T and P5T systems have been optimized, and the efficiency has reached 6% and 7% respectively. They should be able to publish two articles in the second district. I plan to take her through the characterization experiment in the next two weeks. "

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work." Wei Xingsi was extremely satisfied, and said two good things in a row.

Xu Qiu now somewhat understands the nature of the group meeting, the report itself is not important, what is important is to let the boss know what you have done, and you have not been paddling recently.

After all, if it is a particularly important experimental result, you can discuss it with Mr. Wei in private.

Therefore, he originally had last week's CELIV data to talk about, but in the end he did not make a PPT for the group meeting.

It's really not because of laziness.

Finally, it was Han Jiaying's turn to play.

Xu Qiu had already spoiled her main job in advance.

Therefore, Mr. Wei did not listen very carefully. While searching and printing documents, he occasionally looked up at the projection screen.

After the school girl finished, Teacher Wei commented: "Good job, you can continue to follow Xu Qiu."

Afterwards, he said: "The group meeting is here today, Wu Feifei remembers to order a meal, Duan Yun brings the article, and the others can leave."

Returning to 216, Xu Qiu glanced at Mr. Wei's transfer message, and there was actually 5,000 yuan.

He checked before, and now AM's impact factor is less than 20, so Mr. Wei probably gave more on purpose.

Xu Qiu didn't say anything, he thought about it, and decided to invite the friends in the group to have a big meal.

In the past, the standard for eating and drinking was around 70 yuan per person, but this time it can be set at 100-150 per person.

After dinner, you can arrange board games or KTV, let's see what they think.

...

In a blink of an eye, a week has passed.

This week, Xu Qiu completed his experimental data, and then started writing articles while training Han Jiaying.

For the first job of the school girl, he needs to take him through the entire characterization process systematically, so that she can conduct research independently afterwards.

During this period, I encountered a small problem. Because Xu Qiu was an undergraduate student, he did not participate in the training for some instruments, and he did not have direct experimental authority, so he could only apply for the experiment in the name of Chen Wanqing.

Fortunately, most of the teachers in charge of equipment management are more accommodating. Seeing that Xu Qiu can operate the equipment proficiently and is a student of the school, they acquiesced in his "job without a license".

He also entered the Simulation Lab II to personally test the new functions of the system, and generally speaking, it was not bad as he had expected.

What I didn't expect before is that the entire test operation process of the simulated experimenters will be saved in the form of holographic video, and it also supports functions such as fast playback, slow playback, and pulling the progress bar.

He can access these experimental videos at any time.

This point is much more powerful than ordinary experimental robots.

Because even if a camera is installed on the experimental robot, there is no way to get a holographic image.

Xu Qiu has no projects to do right now, so he didn't activate this function immediately, otherwise the system points would be wasted.

The non-fullerene system he intends to do later is still just a concept, with only a vague general direction.

It is necessary to choose carefully where to start.

Because once the specific research direction is confirmed, it is necessary to continue to invest energy, and it is necessary to study until an article in the first district is produced.

If the direction of efforts is wrong, it will only get twice the result with half the effort.

So far, although he has read a lot of literature, most of them are just scratching the surface.

The thing to do now is to summarize the existing non-fullerene-related literature.

At least know what other researchers have done and don't reinvent the wheel.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiu had an idea.

He can write reviews.

Moreover, the exam month ends in January, and during the school holidays, most of the public instrument platforms are closed, making it inconvenient to do experiments. Taking advantage of this period, the time to write a review is just right.

However, reviews are usually solicited by the editor.

That is, the editor took the initiative to send letters to some big names in related fields, asking them to write a review article to summarize the recent progress in the field.

Direct submissions are generally not accepted.

Of course, there is no absolute in everything, and it doesn't mean it can't work. It depends on Teacher Wei's relationship.

He has been engaged in scientific research for so many years, and he has more or less connections and knows some people.

Editors don't take the initiative to come to find them, but they can also take the initiative to find editors to ask for drafts.

Xu Qiu's requirements are not high, and he does not pursue top review journals such as Chem. Rev., and it is almost the same if he can publish AM sub-journals such as AFM.

How do you say that AFM is also an SCI first area, and it can also complete system tasks by the way, anyway, it didn't say that publishing a review is not counted.
