Blooming America

Chapter 783: Who invented the lithium battery...

The mobile phone plan was supported by the Pentagon from the very beginning, but the current mobile phones are still a little away from their expectations. So far, the Pentagon has no plan to use mobile phones for battlefield communications.

Catherine also thinks this plan is unreliable, but since the Pentagon wants to stuff herself with money, it's impossible for herself to stop it, right?

It is a **** to have money and not make money, and Catherine will never be a bastard.

Especially in this aspect of the Pentagon.

However, the bottleneck of mobile phone research is not the mobile phone itself, but the circuit of the mobile phone and the battery of the mobile phone. If the size of the current circuit can be reduced by 80%, the current mobile phone can be said to be the best. Yes, but limited to technology, there is no way to shrink the current mobile phone.

And there is another battery problem, which is also a headache for Catherine. Even if you can’t shrink the road, if you can take out the lithium battery of the later generations, the size of the current mobile phone can be reduced by a quarter, and the weight will be even greater. Great decline.

Ideals are plump and reality is skinny. If Catherine can project her thoughts, she doesn't need to stay in the office now, just drive the Star Destroyer to fight the aliens...

"It seems that I can only come step by step..."

Catherine scratched her head.

The basics are mobile phones that only require the function of making a call. The design can be said to be simpler.

The simplest mobile phone consists of four parts of circuits, namely the transmitter circuit, the mixer circuit, the DSP circuit and the power supply circuit.

Such a simple mobile phone, even for college students in school, is not very difficult to design.

The so-called DSP circuit. It is the signal processing circuit.

Now it is used to process information to play such a role.

After a rough estimate, Catherine found that if it is replaced with a special circuit, the mobile phone can save about 30% of the power consumption.

In terms of power consumption, Catherine has already achieved the extreme from the beginning, so it is temporarily impossible to save power.

Development of dedicated chips. Catherine would just send Intel directly to design and research. There are no more than ten manufacturers in the world that have enough capacity to research such micro-processing chips, and now only Intel can realize its plan.

Next, there is the battery.

Catherine asked the people below herself to inquire about the news about lithium batteries.

Perhaps this thing is so rare, Catherine waited for three weeks. It wasn't until mid-February that we got the news: Exxon had developed a lithium battery a year ago!

Exxon’s experts used titanium sulfide as the positive electrode material and metallic lithium as the negative electrode material to make the world’s first lithium battery!

When she heard the news, Catherine almost wanted to bump her head.

Exxon Corporation.

In other words, l company.

That is Exxon Mobil.

Catherine never expected that it was the first in the world to develop a lithium battery. It's such an oil giant...what is this?

"Nowadays, some companies like to mess around. They are obviously engaged in oil companies, but they are going to get some batteries..."

After seeing the report, Catherine couldn't help but complain. Elsa looked at Catherine with a strange look.

"Why look at me that way?"

Catherine froze for a moment.

"Because I think in this respect, you are better than the other party."

But it doesn’t matter to see this sentence, but combined with the above sentence, this sentence is not so pleasant...

"Well, as long as you can make money." Catherine rolled her eyes, then set her gaze on the ceiling.

Catherine feels bad. In fact, it is not because the other party engages in lithium batteries. It is just that the news that "Exxon is the developer of lithium batteries" makes Catherine feel depressed.

If it is another small company. Catherine doesn't need to bother, just go and buy the other party directly. But Exxon Mobil...Speaking of which, they even want to acquire themselves. That money is also available...Of course, Catherine will never sell her company.

There was very little news about lithium batteries in the 1970s, and Catherine knew even less. Now that Catherine got the news, Catherine seemed to have caught a life-saving straw and would not give up easily. So at this time Catherine What we are thinking about can only be the way of cooperation between the two parties.

Although generally lithium batteries refer to batteries containing lithium (including metallic lithium, lithium alloys, lithium ions, and lithium polymers) in the electrochemical system.

But to speak of it, lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries. Lithium metal batteries are usually non-rechargeable and contain metallic lithium. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable.

Although she knew that ExxonMobil was a researcher of lithium batteries, Catherine did not know whether the lithium battery she was studying was a lithium metal battery or a lithium ion battery.

Just knowing how the other party made the battery, Catherine could not be sure what kind of battery the other party was studying.

(But I seem to remember that lithium batteries before the 80s were not rechargeable...)

Catherine carefully recalled in her head.

"...By the way, graphite, is there any graphite in the raw materials?!"

Catherine became interested at this time.

Catherine's knowledge in this area is very poor, she only knows that the early batteries seemed to be rechargeable after graphite was added.

It's just a pity that the relevant information they got is very little, and there is no way to determine this.

"Graphite? What can graphite do?"

Catherine couldn't answer the question Elsa asked, because she didn't know what the principle was, she just knew that graphite was needed...

When the book is used, she hates less. Catherine now wants to carry a 21-world Baidu Encyclopedia and Wikipedia with her. Although some of the things in it are really unreliable, when she wants to find some more reliable information. , It seems that it is still possible.

Catherine's ideas are good, but the course of history is not as good as Catherine's imagination.

Historically, in 1982, R and J of the Illinois Institute of Technology discovered that lithium ions have the characteristic of intercalating graphite. This process is fast and reversible.

Then, because the safety hazards of lithium batteries made of metal lithium have attracted much attention, people try to make rechargeable batteries with lithium ions embedded in graphite. After that, the first usable lithium ion graphite electrode was successfully trial-produced by Bell Laboratories.

And when it came to real commercial use, it still needed to be in the 1990s. ExxonMobil cooperated with Sony of Japan, and finally launched the first generation of lithium batteries in the early 1990s...

At this time, there are only metal lithium batteries, but this kind of battery is very active due to the chemical characteristics of lithium metal, which makes the processing, storage and use of lithium metal have very high environmental requirements. Therefore, the production of lithium batteries must be carried out in special Under the environmental conditions. Therefore, this kind of battery is prone to various explosions, and it is almost impossible for civilian use.

In history, ExxonMobil can be said to be a favorable promoter and user of lithium batteries...

Perhaps the lithium battery of this era is not enough, but Catherine believes that as long as you can concentrate on research, it should be easier.

Perhaps some plans do take a long time to complete, but more things are not developed quickly because they have not been taken seriously enough in history. But if you want to make full research and development, maybe very early, you can get the product Catherine wants.

"Now I don't know if Exxon Mobil is interested in this plan."

This question is very important to Catherine, because Catherine has a black eye on this matter, so whether you can cooperate with the other party is related to your ability to use lithium batteries in advance, if you can get commercial lithium batteries ten years in advance. , Very helpful for Catherine's plan.

——Speaking of which, although Catherine only remembers one "graphite", it is such a key word that it can be worthy of the development of lithium batteries for ten years.

Knowledge is power, this is truth.

"Elsa, give me a list of the companies under the venture fund, and I will see if I can acquire several new energy development companies."

Catherine asked.

His own venture fund was originally created for the battery. Although Soros seems to be interested in solar energy, he will not forget the normal operation of this fund.

Catherine decided to acquire several battery companies ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then unify them all, then let this company go to negotiate and cooperate with each other.

It is not difficult for Catherine to get a relationship with Exxon Mobil.

ExxonMobil’s history can be traced back to Standard Oil Company, founded by John Rockefeller in 1882. It is currently the largest oil company in the United States and one of the world’s largest and oldest seven oil companies. Its companies include affiliates And the holding company has more than 80,000 employees. The company's business scope includes more than 80 countries and regions in the world. Its business is mainly energy. Petroleum, petrochemicals, coal, minerals and electric power are all its advantages. It is the world's largest business in petroleum exploration, production, transportation, and refining. Comprehensive xìng company for manufacturing, processing and sales. The company is also the largest supplier of chemical raw materials, solvents, additives, intermediates and polymers, and other petrochemical products.

In other words, this company is considered a very important profit organization under Rockefeller.

Maybe the loan Rockefeller gave himself has the shadow of Exxon Mobil.

Second! There are three more! There are three more baa~! .
