I Have a Research Support System

During the summer vacation, Chen Wanqing even asked Xu Qiu for Blue River's WeChat contact information, as if she intended to join Blue River after graduation.

Duan Yun didn't look for Xu Qiu, after all, he is not very related to thermoelectric and flexible electronic printing. He probably has his own considerations, such as returning to his old business, joining his brother, changing careers, or even finding a post-doctoral post. ,

Later, Xu Qiu received news from her senior that she would go to Blue River with him and her junior to provide technical guidance after school started. Xu Qiu was not very surprised by this.

On the one hand, the senior is currently in her third year of PhD and hasn't graduated yet. Even if she is interested, it would definitely not be suitable for her to join the job directly. Wei Xingsi's work has not yet been finished.

On the other hand, the senior sister probably also has the idea of ​​investigating Blue River Company. If the company has a future, she can join the company directly after graduation. If the company has no future, she can find other opportunities. Anyway, with her current academic achievements, Whether it is finding a postdoctoral post or finding a job, it is not too difficult.

If she went there rashly, in case the company closed down after two years of working, Lan He could just leave and start another company, or inherit the family business or something, and she would lose her job directly.

Xu Qiu began to report.

Before the summer vacation, Wu Shengnan synthesized six acceptor materials, and now we need to further optimize the device performance based on them, and strive to achieve an efficiency of more than 13%...

Development of translucent, stacked devices, the former is mainly aimed at near-infrared non-fullerene acceptor materials, and the latter has a target efficiency of 15%...

In addition to these two points, the unique discovery of the IDIC system, the technical guidance to the Blue River, the renovation of the Jiangwan laboratory, the relocation of the laboratory in the future, and the plan to change the structure of the central D unit of the ITIC system, Xu Qiu is temporarily Did not mention.

In addition, he also wants to test the exciton binding energy and exciton diffusion distance of IDIC and ITIC systems to provide more experimental evidence.

After all, for the J2:IDIC-4F system, Xu Qiu wants to submit to a journal at the level of a major sub-journal of Nature, so he must do his best in all aspects, because the reviewers will definitely be very strict and the work is not solid If it is, it will be sprayed into a sieve.

The planning is good. Wei Xingsi said with satisfaction, and then changed the topic: However, we still have to hurry up and do the work, submit it, and get it done. You have seen the few documents I gave you earlier, and other research groups have already done it. We have started to act, and I estimate that there will be many derivatives based on our ITIC within half a year.

I understand. Xu Qiu nodded in agreement. Although he also had some sense of urgency, he was not overly worried.

Now, on the track in the field of ITIC, there is no one else in front, and he, Xu Qiu, is the leader running at the forefront.

If others want to compete with him, they must at least finish the path he has traveled first.

Even if other researchers refer to his articles, they move faster, and it takes half a year or a year to catch up with the progress.

But by that time, Xu Qiu is confident that he can go further.

Moreover, most researchers will choose relatively safe research methods when they step into a new field, that is, follow the trend, and will not rashly make too many changes to the original system.

Because the greater the change, the greater the probability of hitting the street.

Before Xu Zhenghong and his IDTBR system had little room for optimization, it was difficult to follow suit. The current ITIC is different, and there is a lot of room for optimization.

Just because Xu Qiu doesn't like some leftover work doesn't mean other researchers don't like it either.

Even if you don’t do synthesis, go buy some ITIC and come back, and then take the ITIC to touch with other existing donors to make a ternary system, even if the efficiency is not high, only 7% or 8%, as long as the article is published early, You can still get one or two articles in the weaker area such as CM and JMCA, no matter how bad you are, you can pour water on ACSAMI. If you are lucky, the efficiency can reach more than 10%, and it is not enough to post an AM or JACS top journal. strangeness.

Maybe relying on this AM article, the associate professor will become a full-time professor.

In addition, Xu Qiu will face the problem of taking classes this semester as a direct doctoral student.

He has already checked the training program in advance, and he only needs to take about 40 credits in five years, and the average is eight credits a year, which is much less than the 150 credits in four years of undergraduate studies.

Moreover, his CET-6 score was 600+, and his undergraduate English comprehensive level test score was A, and the 8 credits of English courses during the postgraduate period were directly exempted, which relieved him from the pressure of taking courses.

Exemption is quite powerful, which is equivalent to getting 8 points directly without taking the exam, and with an A grade, you can get a wave of grade points. Although the grade points during graduate school are not very useful, a higher grade point looks better after all.

It was the same in the previous undergraduate years. When Xu Qiu first entered school, several students in the same class participated in computer competitions. Students who had been in the preparatory course for half a year were recommended, and the 4-credit C Programming course could be exempted from taking an A.

The school is still relatively humane in this respect, which can be called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

Han Jiaying: The work of H4x has received the results from Mr. Feng Shengdong. They have proved in the results of TAS that 'small HOMO energy level difference can also achieve effective charge transfer' and now they are going to sort out the data. The target journal NC...

Han Jiaying: Then we will work on J1, J2, and J3. The experimental data of J1 has already exceeded half. Currently, there is a lack of light source data. J2 and J3 still need to be synthesized...

After Xu Qiu ordered her to change the names of several materials, the school girl agreed without thinking too much.

She has four jobs in hand, which are not too difficult, just queue up and vote one by one.

In particular, the efficiency of several donor materials of the J series is more than 12%. As long as the article is not too poorly written, there is not much pressure to pour water on AM, JACS, and EES at this stage. No matter how bad it is, it can be published on AM On the sub-newsletter AEM.

In addition, this semester, the school girl is in her senior year, and she has already completed about 140 credits. She only has one production practice and one professional course, so the academic pressure is not too high, so she can focus on scientific research.

Wu Shengnan: The next research direction is to continue the previous FNIC system and change the conjugated structure of the main chain of the D unit. The purpose is to obtain non-fullerene molecules with ultra-narrow band gaps. The molecules planned to be synthesized include IHIC, 4TIC...

The research idea of ​​the post-doctoral sister was proposed by herself, and then she showed Xu Qiu the planning PPT before the group meeting.

After Xu Qiu read it, he found that the postdoctoral senior sister's thinking was slightly different from the research direction he had planned for her before, but the general direction was the same, and the experimental route was reasonable, so he didn't interfere.

Moreover, Wu Shengnan targeted non-fullerene molecules with ultra-narrow band gaps, that is, near-infrared acceptor materials, which can also be compatible with the semi-transparent and stacked devices that Xu Qiu will do in the future. Originally, near-infrared The system has only one option of IEICO derivatives. Now that other systems have been developed, there are more choices, which also means that there is more room for efficiency improvement.

Anyway, as long as the general direction is correct, it is also a good thing for Xu Qiu that Wu Shengnan can take the initiative to seek research directions, and it can save a lot of energy. If he arranges everything and plays the role of a nanny, it will be really tiring.

As for the six non-fullerene acceptor materials including IDIC that Wu Shengnan helped Xu Qiu synthesize before the holiday, she did not mention it. Although these materials were synthesized by her, they belonged to Xu Qiu.

It's a bit similar to recruiting undergraduates to work in the group, and the materials synthesized are not considered the achievements of undergraduates.

It’s just that the situation is reversed now, post-doctoral fellows work for freshly graduated undergraduates.

Of course, Xu Qiu will definitely not let others work for nothing, and he should choose to let Wu Shengnan write one or two articles.

Moreover, there are too many articles, and he can't write them all by himself...

Mo Wenlin: Continue to develop H22:ITIC:IEICO, and J1:ITIC:PDI4-B4T ternary blend system...

Unlike Wu Shengnan, Mo Wenlin's plan was relatively well-regulated, that is, she followed the path Xu Qiu had arranged for her.

It's not difficult to understand, Mo Wenlin is really cute and new. She just stepped into this field, her eyes are darkened, so she naturally needs to hug her thighs fully, and she has already tasted the sweetness. Previously, Sanyuan H22:ITIC:PCBM contributed AM , has now been submitted for review, and there is a high probability that it will be published.

Although Mo Wenlin is a co-worker ahead of Xu Qiu in this job, she does very little on her own.

The idea was brought up by Xu Qiu, and the whole experiment was carried out by Xu Qiu, Han Jiaying, and Chen Wanqing. Only the article was written by her, but Xu Qiu and Han Jiaying also participated in the revision and suggestion.

Choice is greater than hard work, probably speaking of now.

As long as you follow the right people, the article is really like a big phoenix.

Moreover, during the summer vacation, Xu Qiu explored several ternary systems with excellent performance through the simulation laboratory, but he has not told Mo Wenlin yet, and there will be several articles by then.
