Chapter 259 Metal Hydrogen Battery Starts, It Is Stepping into the Future(2/2)

However, the decline in source points should be close to the upper limit that the system can provide. If you want to continue to play lower, you must continue to deepen your own learning.

But that method is not worth the gain - spending thousands of hours on research, in exchange for the result of reducing the source point consumption by 10 points?

Then I might as well just make Amprius lithium batteries.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian subconsciously started to analyze it, but suddenly, a light flashed in his mind.

etc.

If the Amprius lithium battery dropped to 16 points, what about the metal hydrogen battery?

This thing has only existed in science fiction novels. Even after more than ten years, no one can make a conclusion whether it exists.

However, Chen Nian now has a simple way to confirm the possibility of its realization.

That is, use the system to try to analyze.

As the characters "Metal Hydrogen Battery" were input into the system through Chen Nian's consciousness, the system's feedback also appeared immediately.

[Metal hydrogen battery: This is a battery with extremely high energy density, and at the same time, its technical complexity is also extremely high]

[Analysis source point consumption: 1192 points.]

1192 points!

Chen Nian subconsciously widened his eyes.

However, he was not surprised by the huge number of source points consumed by metal hydrogen batteries.

On the contrary, in his opinion, the consumption of this source point seemed a little too low!

Let’s not talk about how to realize a metal hydrogen battery. The material “metal hydrogen” alone is amazing enough.

You know, metallic hydrogen is known as the "Holy Grail of high-pressure physics"!

Hydrogen is the lightest element, weighing less than 90 grams per cubic meter, and the density of water is more than 9,000 times greater.

However, 1 cubic centimeter of metallic hydrogen weighs a full 1 gram, which is several orders of magnitude different from the density of hydrogen gas.

To change hydrogen from a gaseous state to a metallic state, it is very simple to put pressure on it.

But in fact, if you want to pressurize hydrogen into a metallic state, you need a pressure of at least 500Gpa.

The pressure at the center of the Earth's core is only 360Gpa.

For comparison, the pressure generated by the explosion of TNT explosive is equivalent to 100,000 atmospheres, which is only more than 10Gpa.

So you can imagine how difficult it is to prepare metallic hydrogen.

——

Even though its principle is actually not complicated.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian had a sudden enlightenment.

It is precisely because the principle is not complicated that the analysis cost of this thing is not as high as I imagined.

It is estimated that a large number of sources are still consumed in the step of turning metallic hydrogen into batteries.

So, he re-selected the analysis target and removed the word "battery".

Sure enough, the analysis consumption that the system popped up this time was only a "mere" 340 points.

It's still a lot, but compared to the number 1192, it's a lot smaller.

However, Chen Nian still has no intention of investing Source Points in this so-called manufacturing process - even if he has enough Source Points, he will not squander it so unscrupulously.

The reason is simple. The "metallic hydrogen" mentioned here is obviously just metallic hydrogen produced in the laboratory.

Its process flow is not complicated, and it has been realized successively ten years later.

The real difficulty is how to take metallic hydrogen out of the laboratory and achieve large-scale mass production.

As for how to achieve mass production.

Then there are more problems.

Manufacturing of ultra-high-pressure environments, manufacturing of high-strength materials, such as artificial diamonds, and carbon nanotubes used to accommodate quasi-one-dimensional hydrogen.

Only when all these problems are solved can mass production of metallic hydrogen be possible.

——

Or another way of thinking, if physical methods don't work, try chemical methods.

But obviously, in the era when Chen Nian traveled back in time, chemical methods had not been explored enough at all, so he didn't have any clue.

After much thought, Chen Nian decided to spend the source points in his hand.

And the first technology he wants to realize is carbon nanotubes!

This thing not only has the advantage of high structural strength.

In fact, it is still an important optimization direction for the development of lithium batteries at this stage.

Carbon nanotubes themselves have excellent conductive properties. At the same time, due to their small depth and short stroke when deintercalating lithium, as a negative electrode material, they have less polarization during high-rate charge and discharge, which can greatly improve the high-rate charge and discharge performance of the battery.

In addition, carbon nanotubes can also be combined with other negative electrode materials to use their unique hollow structure, high conductivity and large specific surface area as a carrier to improve the electrical properties of other negative electrode materials.

In other words, if Chen Nian comes up with a mature method for manufacturing carbon nanotubes, he can not only lay the foundation for the development of metal hydrogen batteries in the future, but can even make great strides in promoting the development of lithium battery technology now.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Chen Nian did not hesitate any longer.

He looked at the source point consumption of carbon nanotube resolution in the system - only 12 points were needed.

It can be said to be of high quality and low price.

"Start parsing!"

He thought silently in his heart.

After a brief silence, a gentle stream of data began to enter his brain.

It took him two full hours to fully master all the technical principles related to carbon nanotubes.

A smile appeared on Chen Nian's lips.

Before this, all the technologies he analyzed were mature technologies that had already appeared in his world.

Now, the analysis of carbon nanotubes has allowed his technical analysis boundary to cross the boundary of the "near future".

Starting from today, the entire Chinese technology will officially move towards the future.

Thinking of this, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

No one can stop our progress, not even the overlord of this world.

Things in Africa must be settled quickly. Only in this way can our technology truly have the soil for barbaric growth.
