If you cheat, money will follow

North America.

One day in early March.

Mr. Wang walked into the White House office while scrolling through the comments on Twitter on his mobile phone.

He enjoyed the constant attention.

When he stepped into the office with his left foot, his secretary came over and told him:

"Sir, there is good news from Chattanooga. They have successfully developed a solid-state battery that can be commercially mass-produced."

"Are you sure?" King Dong was surprised.

"I'm pretty sure that there are already many agencies rushing there," the secretary said.

"Oh, it's such a wonderful day, I have to go there." Wang Dong pursed his lips and said with a smile.

During this period of time, on the surface, it seemed that Wang Ruo was indifferent.

But inside, he was very anxious and under tremendous pressure.

The huge pressure mainly comes from three aspects.

First, the large-scale sanctions against China have not achieved the desired results.

On the contrary, it allowed them to develop more rapidly and become more technologically independent.

Powered by the two giant industries of automobile manufacturing and consumer electronics, China has maintained a strong growth momentum.

After a brief low-speed shift in 2016, it quickly returned to normal in 2017.

The full-year GDP growth rate was as high as 11.9 percentage points, 5 percentage points higher than expected.

The GDP growth rate of North America is 2%. Although it is growing positively, the growth rate is 9.9 percentage points lower than that of China.

Some experts predict that if this trend continues, it may not take until 2034.

The second is to change the track and enter hydrogen energy, which will isolate China's electric industry and suffer major setbacks.

Many hydrogen energy accidents have occurred around the world, casting a haze on the hydrogen energy industry.

Hydrogen energy in Europe and Asia-Pacific (except South Korea and Japan) is clearly on the decline.

The isolation strategy failed, and he has been criticized by public opinion.

The media believed that he had made strategic mistakes and knew nothing about technology.

He firmly denied this.

He believed that he was not at fault, and if he was at fault, it was also the fault of his two younger brothers.

Third, the plunder plan in the financial field - the dollar tide, did not achieve the desired results.

Even as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates, a large amount of global capital is still entering China to share the dividends of high-growth earnings.

The Big A Index has broken through 5000 points and is heading towards 6000 points.

Chinese officials are already worried about the overheating of the market and have begun to take proactive measures to cool it down, such as withdrawing some of the funds to protect the market.

Leda Investment also withdrew nearly half of its accumulated funds during this wave.

Even so, the market continues to trend upward.

There is still a large amount of money entering the market, betting on consumer electronics, new energy, vehicle manufacturing and liquor industries.

And now, after a long and sad wait, the solid-state battery belonging to North America is finally available.

He finally had the support to negotiate terms with capital, the market, and parliament.

This is his reliance and political achievements.

Because he promoted the special allocation of R&D funds.

Air Force 1 lands at Chattanooga Municipal Airport.

Surrounded by many officials from Tennessee, Wang arrived at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a glowing face.

In the laboratory, he met many familiar people.

For example, Cook and Musk, the presidents of the three major automobile giants Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler...

In addition, we also saw Wall Street vultures and media reporters.

For these vultures, there is no better concept for hype than solid-state batteries.

The market has been suffering for Kirin Batteries for a long time.

Understanding Wang shook hands with these people one by one, and then communicated with Campbell, the leader of the R&D team.

Campbell is 70 years old this year and entering his s.

He has been working in the field of solid-state batteries for more than 20 years.

Now it's finally done and done.

"Professor Campbell, thank you for your efforts and contributions to North America." Wang Dong said politely.

"Thank you, Mr. President, for coming. I would like to introduce our products to you." Campbell said.

"I'm very happy to listen." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and said.

In the research and development of solid-state batteries, North America has taken a detour.

At first, they focused on polymer research and development.

Because polymer electrolytes are easy to process and are compatible with the production equipment and production processes required for liquid lithium batteries.

Capital, the first thing to consider is cost.

However, problems such as low ionic conductivity at room temperature, narrow electrochemical window, and easy decomposition of electrolytes when the potential difference is too large make the upper limit of polymer electrolytes very low.

Moreover, the thermal stability is not strong, generally below 200°.

Once it exceeds 200°, it will catch fire.

Then gave up.

Abandoning the polymer direction, they set their sights on Japan's direction, that is, sulfide electrolytes.

Sulfide electrolyte has high ionic conductivity, excellent performance, soft texture and strong plasticity.

It is recognized by the industry as the next generation battery that is most likely to be mass-produced for commercial use.

Just when they are focusing on overcoming key issues such as unstable interface and high cost of sulfide electrolyte...

The oxide solid-state battery produced by Leda's investment in Pingtouge Research Institute was born.

High ionic conductivity, high thermal stability, high energy density, low mass production cost... and other advantages allow them to see the future direction.

Therefore, the sulfide direction was abandoned again.

Switch to the direction of oxides - reverse deconstruction and research and development.

However, as reverse R&D comes and goes, they can never cross the threshold.

They are always difficult to understand.

How does Pingtouge Research Institute solve the problem of "solid contact" in oxide electrolytes.

Without solving the problem of "solid-solid contact", solid-state batteries are not batteries at all.

Seeing the China Battery Alliance using Kirin batteries to conquer the global market and sweep thousands of armies...

In desperation, they gave up the oxide direction and returned to the old path of sulfide direction.

Now it finally worked.

Although it is 2 years later than China, it is not too late.

"Mr. President, we have used a new negative electrode material..." Professor Campbell introduced:

"Using silver-carbon composite negative electrode to replace lithium metal negative electrode, a soft-packed all-solid-state battery was prepared..."

"It has an energy density of 400wh/kg and can stably cycle more than 2000 times."

"In terms of cost, at a price of US$280/kwh (1800 yuan/kwh), it has broad application prospects in the field of high energy storage."

Many people present nodded and applauded after listening to Professor Campbell's introduction.

They all know that the structural characteristics of the sulfide electrolyte determine its large thickness and porosity, which has a natural disadvantage in energy density.

It is not easy to achieve a cost of 280 US dollars/kwh and an energy density of 400wh/kg.

Although it is far from China's Kirin Battery, the most difficult thing in technological research and development is 0-1, not 1-10.

The former is called research and development, and the latter is called optimization.

Once it breaks through to 1, it is only a matter of time before it further increases to 10.

The more important significance is that China is no longer the only company in the field of solid-state batteries.

If you can't eat meat, you can at least mix it with some soup.

However, after hearing this, Wang Qing frowned slightly.

He is a little dissatisfied that the product performance cannot match that of the other side of the ocean:

"Professor Campbell, why is the energy density only 400wh/kg, not 600wh/kg, or 800wh/kg?"

"We can make the electrolyte tighter and denser, and wouldn't the density be higher?"

When Mr. Wang said this, he pressed it with his hand and made a metaphor.

People at the scene were stunned.

Cook: "..."

Musk: "..."

Wall Street: “…”

reporter:"……"

CNN: "..."

…………

Campbell was stunned for a moment, then looked strange.

However, the weird look was fleeting, and he said: "Mr. President, your proposal has inspired us. Maybe making it tighter is our direction."

Knowing Wang was very satisfied with Campbell's attitude and took the initiative to shake hands with him, shaking his hand again and again:

"Congratulations, Professor Campbell. You have made great contributions to mankind. You should win the Nobel Prize."

"I will propose it to the Nobel Committee, probably next year, or the year after."

Cook: "..."

Musk: "..."

Wall Street: “…”

reporter:"……"

CNN: "..."
