Orion Crest, Series_1

Chapter 161: Prefer hollow carbon spheres

　　As soon as Professor Benno finished speaking, a pair of eyes turned towards Orion.

　　Especially the representatives and engineers from the corporate side, all of their eyes were glowing.

　　Orion, who was in the centre of attention, was currently holding a mineral water bottle and seemed to have a question mark on his face.

　　"When did I have a plan?"

　　"Why don't I know?"

　　In fact, the reason why he did not participate in the discussion, and even showed indifference to the seminar, not that he already had an idea in mind, but he did not know what to say.

　　Unlike most material science professionals, out of the rigour of a mathematician, he still had to make a draft before bragging, and the fact that Professor Benno had suddenly kicked this ball to his feet had caught him a little off-guard for a while.

　　However, just at this moment, Orion suddenly had an idea, put down the mineral water bottle in his hand, righted the microphone, cleared his throat and said.

　　"...... According to what I saw and heard at the MRS conference, for lithium-sulfur batteries, the shuttle effect is the biggest problem restricting this technology. And how to solve this problem, the academic community has not formed a unified conclusion."

　　"My personal opinion, I think both ideas are good, solving it from the cathode material is one idea, and using solid state electrolyte as an entry point is also feasible. We can follow the two ideas in parallel."

　　The bigwigs were tearing each other apart over research funding, but he was doing his own experiments with his own money, so it was better not to get involved. If he said too much, he would be held responsible in the future.

　　However, Professor Benno, obviously did not intend to let him off like this.

　　Only seeing the old man smile, he continued to pursue.

　　"Professor Orion is right, however, it is true that the words are so, but if we want to concentrate our limited resources to achieve a great cause, we always have to have a focus. From your point of view, which option do you think is more promising?"

　　The professor at the University of Sorbonne is also very astute. He was doing research on surface polymers of cathode materials, and when he saw that Orion had solved the problem of lithium dendrites with modified PDMS film, he bet that he was probably as optimistic about the polymer direction as he was, and then decisively pushed him out, hoping to strengthen the voice of the polymer direction.

　　But honestly, although Orion solved the lithium dendrite problem with modified PDMS film, he is not optimistic about adding surface polymer materials to the cathode material for the shuttle effect which is unique to lithium-sulfur batteries.

　　As for the reason, he can't say why, maybe it's just a gut feeling.

　　Thinking about it, Orion always feels that he will offend many people if he chooses any of them.

　　After all, he was conscious of the importance Lewis attached to his opinion. With the votes he held in his hand, he might be able to use one vote as two, or even three.

　　If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have said he had other business and not come.

　　Orion sighed.

　　There was no way out.

　　In the spirit of rigour, he did not want to show off with the research results that had not yet been perfected, but if he continued to shirk, it would be a bit pretentious.
