The Science Fiction World of Xueba

"interesting!"

In the library, Pang Xuelin was flipping through materials related to flying blade materials.

After drawing out the two technologies of flying blade material and graphene airgel metamaterial, the system also gave the technical principle and process flow of these two technologies.

Among them, there are more than 30 papers related to flying blade materials, and more than 10 papers related to graphene airgel metamaterials.

Pang Xuelin once tried to interpret this paper, but he was naturally confused.

So he had no choice but to put all these papers on the shelf. He originally wanted to discuss with his father how to use the papers at hand for profit after he came back, but he didn't expect to use them in this world first.

After spending nearly a week, Pang Xuelin will first read through the thesis of Flying Blade Materials. If he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will write it down, and he can either check the information himself or ask the teacher of Jiangda University.

It is a pity that the world seems to have made little progress in carbon nanotube materials, and even the teachers of Jiangda University do not understand many concepts.

But even so, Pang Xuelin barely understood the core technology of the flying blade material.

Prior to this, Pang Xuelin had always been somewhat disapproving of the flying blade material and carbon nanotube technology, thinking that although this material has certain value, it is only very useful in a specific range.

After all, in the three-body world, the flying blade material has only shown high-strength properties, and there are not too many details in other aspects.

It wasn't until he had a certain foundation in materials science and after reading the thesis that Pang Xuelin realized how unnatural this technology is.

The carbon nanotubes in the flying blade material are actually single-walled carbon nanotubes, and the geometric structure can be regarded as a single-layer graphene curl.

Carbon nanotubes can be classified into single-walled carbon nanotubes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes can be understood as a set of single-walled carbon nanotubes with different diameters, and the distance between layers is about 0.34 nanometers.

The diameter of single-walled carbon nanotubes is very small, generally between 1-2 nanometers (single-walled tubes with larger diameters cannot exist very stably), so that their specific surface energy is very high, and most of them exist in bundles.

Compared with single-walled carbon nanotubes, at the beginning of the formation of multi-walled tubes, the layers between layers can easily become trap centers and trap various defects. Therefore, the walls of multi-walled tubes are usually covered with small hole-like defects. .

Therefore, the flying blade material is interwoven with thousands of single-walled carbon nanotubes to form carbon nanotube fibers, which have extremely high strength.

But here, what is really powerful is not the strength of this carbon nanotube, but its high purity.

It should be known that at present, humans generally can only use methane to be catalytically cracked by a cobalt catalyst, and then oxidize the carbon nanotubes prepared in the air.

The purity of carbon nanotubes prepared in this way is not high, and most of them are multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes can only be prepared in a small amount in the laboratory, but even in the highest-level laboratories, the purity of single-walled carbon nanotubes can only reach about 95%, and there is no way to commercialize them, let alone large-scale industries. melted.

In the Three-Body World, Wang Miao and his team can produce single-walled carbon nanotubes with a purity of up to 99.99999% by using the black box reaction. Carbon nanotubes with this purity can not only be used to make flying blade materials, but also can be used to make carbon nanotubes. Nanotube CMOS devices (complementary metal oxide semiconductors and their manufacturing processes, basic units of integrated circuits).

Carbon nanotubes have unique mechanical, optical, and electrical properties, especially their high mobility, flexibility, permeability, and biocompatibility. Compared with silicon materials and other nanomaterials, carbon nanotubes have unique advantages and can meet The information industry's future requirements for high performance, low power consumption and various functions are of great significance to the entire integrated circuit industry chain.

Wandering Earth because of the solar crisis,

When silicon-based materials were close to the limit, resources were not invested in the research and development of carbon-based chips. Therefore, for so many years, human computer technology has not made much progress as a whole.

This can actually be seen in the movie.

Of course, the artificial intelligence MOSS responsible for managing the space station is an exception among the Navigator space station built by scientists from all over the world.

And high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes can just solve the most critical problems in the research and development of carbon-based chips.

Moreover, the application of high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes is not limited to this point. Non-volatile random access storage devices based on high-purity carbon nanotubes, regardless of storage capacity, read speed (1000 times that of ordinary flash memory), and power consumption , reliability and durability are an order of magnitude higher than ordinary storage.

In the field of energy storage, the single-walled carbon nanotube material is also a special conductive additive, which can form a conductive network at a relatively low concentration. Therefore, adding it to the battery can improve the active material in the battery, and can The energy density of the battery is increased by fifty to sixty percent.

In addition, carbon nanotubes are widely used in fields such as medical treatment, biosensors, nanorobots, conductive plastics, electromagnetic interference shielding, stealth materials, and new aerospace materials.

"This thing is a god-defying artifact!"

Pang Xuelin's eyes shone brightly. He was still thinking about whether these two technologies could get the attention of the coalition government after they were developed.

Now, he doesn't worry at all.

The function of increasing the energy storage density of batteries alone is enough to attract the attention of the coalition government.

Not to mention the great significance of such high-purity carbon nanotubes to the integrated circuit industry.

As long as he produces this material by himself, he will get some crucial powers, at least allowing his relatives to enter the dungeon in advance, and it will be no problem to have a better living environment in the future.

But immediately, Pang Xuelin had a headache again.

There are principles, technologies, technological processes, and a complete executable plan!

But he has no team under him, no laboratory that he can use at his disposal.

During this period of time at Jiangda University, Pang Xuelin had already discovered that the main research directions of the School of Materials and Engineering of Jiangda University are silicon materials, high-temperature resistant alloys, metal materials, inorganic non-metallic materials and other fields, and there is not much research in the field of carbon-based materials. Strong power.

And even if there is, it is impossible for Pang Xuelin to get the dominance of a laboratory.

This is a very troublesome question.

If you don't make the real thing, who believes that he has the ability to produce high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes.

For him, these papers are like a treasure that cannot be opened.

"It seems that I can only ask Grandpa for help!"

Pang Xuelin rubbed his temples and said with a headache.
