reborn industrial empire

In order to respond to Jinjingdao's concept of developing hybrid electric vehicles and new energy vehicles, after this meeting, Zeng Jianxin began to attract people all over the world.

Nowadays, Huayang Dynamics has a strong reputation across the country and even the world, and Huayang Dynamics’ treatment is well known in the industry.

Today's Huayang Dynamics is no longer like the dozen or so people who had seven or eight guns when it was first founded. Therefore, as soon as Huayang Dynamics' recruitment advertisement was posted, it immediately attracted relevant talents from all over the country.

of attention.

This time Huayang Power is not just recruiting students majoring in simple automobile manufacturing. This time they are mainly recruiting electronic system engineers, as well as engineers in battery research and development.

Jin Xiaoqiang is well aware of China’s current backwardness in new energy vehicles. The rapid development of China’s automobile industry in the past two years is indeed correct.

However, as the number of cars in the Si family increases, the gasoline and diesel resources have also begun to become tense. In addition, two barrels of oil can choke your neck from time to time. In the past two years, the peak period of summer electricity consumption has arrived in various parts of the country.

, there will often be a diesel shortage or a gasoline shortage.

Moreover, with the increase in car ownership, the air pollution level in Chinese cities has become more and more serious in recent years.

At present, these aspects have aroused the ideas of relevant departments and relevant leaders.

Jin Xiaoqiang remembers that if he is right, in the past year or two, the country has begun to shout the slogan of a new energy strategy.

Then, starting from a few years ago, in several northeastern provinces, the state and people began to invest in ethanol refining and chemical plants on a large scale, and began to use corn to refine ethanol and then manufacture ethanol gasoline.

But in this situation, after two years, we will suffer the consequences. It is precisely because of these two years that we have

A large area of ​​rice was confiscated by chemical plants, which also caused many feed factories to be unable to receive raw materials. The price of pig feed began to increase on a large scale, followed by the big price increase of pork in 2007.

After that, China's CPI can be said to have hit new highs in succession. Although the figures released by the National Bureau of Statistics are stable and declining, Jin Xiaoqiang, who has been a commoner, has experienced firsthand that due to gasoline shortages, or rising

prices, the pain caused by skyrocketing prices.

It was only after that year that some of the country's leaders began to really pay attention to the development of new energy. In those years, the country introduced many policies to subsidize companies that vigorously develop new energy vehicles.

But if we start from that time, we will be much behind others. We must know that our Chinese technology is not leading compared with the United States, Japan and other countries, so we must start research as soon as possible.

You must know that Japan's first generation Prius was developed in 1997.

They are now in their second generation.

Moreover, compared with the artificial diesel new energy concept of European car manufacturers and the hydrogen fuel cell new energy concept of the United States, Japan's own hybrid energy electric vehicle is more reliable.

Jin Xiaoqiang remembers clearly that not long before his rebirth, Japan announced the third generation of its Prius hybrid. As soon as it was launched in the United States, it detonated the entire American market. The lowest price was just over 20,000 US dollars, and it was even sold by

The dealer directly increased the price by US$4,000, but the supply is still in short supply in the US market.

In Japan, models such as hybrid vehicles accounted for more than Japan's total car sales that year, which is enough to prove the trend of new energy vehicles in the future.

Not long ago, Australia just invested in a solar cell research institute and acquired a large lithium mining company. These are all preparations for future hybrid energy electric vehicles.

Therefore, it can be said that it is the right time to launch this project. In terms of solar energy, it has been handed over to a few scientists in Australia. However, in terms of lithium batteries, Jin Xiaoqiang does not want to entrust others to help.

At present, the debate on new energy-powered vehicles in the market is still very controversial. Many automobile manufacturers are wondering which new energy source is the best way to meet the future development trend.

In this regard, Japan itself has been at the forefront, and their Prius has begun to enter the market in large numbers with subsidies from the Japanese government.

Ten years from now, when people think of new energy vehicles, the first thing that comes to mind will definitely be gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles. This is exactly the effect that Japanese people are now willing to create even at a loss.

The cost and price of the Prius produced now are very high because the battery technology is not up to par. However, the Japanese government would rather subsidize Toyota than let this car be sold on the market, in order to occupy the commanding heights of the industry. In the end

Become a leader who can set the rules for the entire industry.

If they take the lead in making the Prius widely accepted by people, then they can impose some of their standards on other car companies that follow up, and those companies that follow up will have to pay a heavy price.

This is the main reason why Jin Xiaoqiang started researching hybrid vehicles now, when China's fuel panic has just begun to emerge and oil prices have just begun to rise.

〖Japan〗I, you can subsidize Toyota to make hybrid cars a new energy concept car accepted by people, but if you want to formulate rules in the future, it depends on whether we, Huayang Power, are willing.

After all, the technology of your Prius is not particularly mature now. If you use electric mode, it can't travel a long distance, and it still uses lithium-hydrogen batteries.

It is possible to sell such a car in Japan and the United States, but if it comes to China, it will definitely not be sold at all, just like the third generation of Prius in later generations. Even if you buy it abroad, it will be popular.

But if you bring it to China, it will still be a waste.

Not to mention other reasons, just because we don’t have car charging stations at all, your car cannot be sold in China.

So if Jin Xiaoqiang wants to build a hybrid car now, he will definitely build a hybrid car that is more powerful than the Prius.

We have to start with lithium batteries. As we all know, the Prius now uses lithium-hydrogen batteries, and later BYD, the first company in China to develop electric vehicles, used so-called iron batteries.

These two types of batteries are simply incomparable to the lithium batteries that became widely popular in later generations.

In fact, in 1992, Japan's Sony had already developed lithium batteries, but the lithium batteries at that time were not very stable.

Anyone who engages in scientific research knows that lithium is a very active metal element. Once this metal element comes into direct contact with oxygen, it will explode.

Therefore, this kind of battery was also quite dangerous at the time. Later, the Japanese used many methods to miniaturize this kind of battery and can be used in mobile phones and computers. However, the current lithium batteries are still not

It is too stable, and the current production cost of lithium batteries is too high, so it has not been promoted on a large scale.

This method of cost reduction has only matured in the past year or two, and in 2007

Since the beginning of this year, it has been widely promoted in mobile phone batteries.

However, they are just small lithium batteries. There have not been many breakthroughs in large-scale lithium batteries, especially the large-sized lithium batteries used in hybrid vehicles.

In later generations, BYD once developed a hybrid car. The concept of this car at that time was that the car could travel 50 kilometers on pure electric power, which was already a quite remarkable figure.

However, consumers in China still don’t buy it. You must know that fifty kilometers is not enough for many people to go around the city!

Therefore, Jin Xiaoqiang knows the key to making a good hybrid car that can be accepted by the general public, that is, you must have a very powerful battery.

Our domestic research and development on lithium batteries has just started not long ago. There are several national-level laboratories conducting research in this area, but they have been unable to make breakthroughs.

This time Huayang Dynamics launched a large-scale recruitment, and many researchers who used to work in national-level research institutes soon came. One of them, a person named Binxinwei, attracted special attention from Jin Xiaoqiang.

The reason he noticed this person in the first place was because his surname was indeed rather weird, and there were indeed relatively few people with the surname Bin.

What caught Jin Xiaoqiang's attention later was this person's resume.

I graduated from MIT with a master's degree in the United States. I even worked in the national laboratory in the United States, Oak Ridge Laboratory, for two years. Then I returned to China. After returning to China, I have been working at the Power Research Institute of Tianjin. I have been working there in Tianjin for three years now.

time.

Having become interested in this person, Jin Xiaoqiang personally participated in this person's interview.

"Mr. Bin, you are an expert in batteries, and I see it is very clear on your resume that you have been working in Oak Ridge in the United States and at the power supply station in Tianjin for a while. I want to hear from you.

Insights into lithium batteries.”

During the interview, Jin Xiaoqiang asked the guest in a straightforward manner if he had received any information on WeChat. It would depend on how he answered.

Bin Xinwei is actually not very old, that is, he is in his thirties. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Jin Xiaoqiang sitting in front of him. He had seen Jin Xiaoqiang on TV, and the bosses of his company came to participate in person.

What does it mean that you have an interview? It means that people value you. Thinking of this, Binxinwei couldn't help but cheer up and started talking.

"Well, as I wrote on my resume, I have been engaged in research work on new energy batteries, especially lithium batteries, for no less than five years. The current development status of lithium batteries is still in the final public relations stage. Lithium batteries

The working principle is actually to use a lithium-containing compound as the positive electrode of the battery, and then find a suitable material to serve as the negative electrode of the battery, and then use the principle of very active chemical characteristics of lithium ions to make the lithium ions in the electrolysis

In the liquid, from the positive electrode to the negative electrode, and then from the negative electrode to the positive electrode, it is this process to complete a charge and discharge process. This is the current mainstream research direction of lithium batteries in the world, and in terms of the negative electrode of lithium batteries,

We mainly use carbon-based materials, but these materials have relatively low energy storage and are relatively expensive to manufacture. This is the main reason why lithium batteries have not been widely promoted so far.

.”

Sure enough, Binxin WeChat has some information. In just a few sentences, it clearly explained the past and present life of lithium batteries.

"Well, okay then! Mr. Bin, what I want to ask now is that you have been engaged in lithium battery research for such a long time. What are your research results? In other words, what are your lithium battery research results so far?

What stage has it reached?"

Jin Xiaoqiang continued to ask.

Sir, in fact, I just said that the current research on lithium batteries in the entire scientific community is actually looking for a very suitable substance to be used as the negative electrode material of lithium batteries, so that the efficiency of lithium batteries can be maximized.

Currently, the mainstream materials for lithium battery negative electrodes used internationally are natural graphite, artificial graphite, etc. Everyone knows that the structure of these graphites has many micropores. When charging, the lithium ions that reach the negative electrode will be embedded in these

Inside the micropores,

The more lithium ions are embedded, the higher the charging capacity. However, this graphite material has a certain lifespan. The lithium batteries commonly used in the market today use this kind of graphite negative electrode, but the lifespan of this graphite is

Generally, they are finished after being used five hundred to six hundred times, so lithium batteries have not been widely promoted now. My main research work in the past few years has been to look for an alternative to graphite.

It is more suitable for the negative electrode material of lithium batteries."

Binxin replied on WeChat.

"Oh? Have you found it?"

"Well, I can only say that I already have some ideas, but this substance still needs further experiments!"

Binxin WeChat answered very confidently.

"Can you tell us about the suitable replacement you found?"

Jin Xiaoqiang's question was a bit aggressive. After all, there are so many scammers these days. Bin Xinwei looked a little embarrassed, but he finally gritted his teeth and said it.

"It is a kind of nano-silica material. Compared with the currently mainly used graphite material, the micropores of silicon oxide are arranged in a more regular manner, and the manufacturing cost is not high. The most important thing is that it is resistant to high temperatures and can be used multiple times

Repeated use will solve the problem of the working life of the graphite negative electrode being only five or six hundred times. Moreover, if the molecular structure of this material is adjusted well, the capacity of this lithium battery will be much greater than before.

The improvement can at least be improved to more than ten times the level of current lithium batteries."

Jin Xiaoqiang was finally moved by Bin Xin's eloquent talk on WeChat.

"Okay! Mr. Bin, I will officially inform you now that you have been hired. When can you come to work?!"
