Chapter 467
The professional researcher put on a special protective equipment, slowly came to the simulation equipment, stretched out a hand and carefully opened the equipment!
“Moisturize!”
With a burst of electric sparks!
A thick black smoke slowly came out of the analog device!
“Hmm.”
Everyone couldn’t help but let out a muffled snort on their faces, and slowly took two steps back, a little further away from this analog device! The smell is so pungent that it makes people feel a little disgusting when they smell it!
The researcher took out the graphene and nanometals that were burned to ashes, and showed a helpless look on his face:
“No, it should be that the stability coefficient is not controlled.” The superconductivity brought about by high temperatures directly destroys the basic structure of graphene and nanometals.
He shook his head and looked at Lu Yu helplessly.
Lu Yu got closer and began to carefully examine this failure:
“It seems to be a failure.”
“What’s the problem? Stability….. The specific problem that came out at that point in time, please show me.
“Yes, Chief Engineer Lu.”
A scholar reacted instantly, and put the detailed data of the simulation experiment in front of Lu Yu.
Lu Yu casually found a position and sat down.
After a rough glance at the experimental data.
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows:
“It seems that there is a problem with the power supply.” The active electrode composed of nano-metal, although it can control the stability of neuronal transmitters to a certain extent, but involves the nervous system…. This thing is still a little too sensitive.
“And our exoskeleton equipment, the main energy supply is maintained by micro-controllable nuclear fusion devices.”
“At present, our miniature tokamak device is not mature enough.”
“It is impossible to carry out stable control of such a delicate device as the neuronal transmitter…” Lu
Yu slowly analyzed the root cause of the problem, and the faces of the scholars present suddenly showed a look of understanding!
“So it is!”
If you want to describe this problem, it is actually not difficult!
Just think of it as a precision instrument, the energy supply may not be so high, but for stability, it has high-precision requirements!
The main functional device of exoskeleton equipment is a miniature tokamak device called “Little Sun”!
In terms of energy supply, it is absolutely 100% sufficient!
But…. Once the tokmak device fluctuates slightly, the ups and downs of energy will completely destroy the active electrode made of nanometals, and the experiment will naturally fail!
“But since it’s a problem of energy supply.”
“And how to solve it? Isn’t it… Need to upgrade our tokmak device? But you can’t do it in a short time, right?
One scholar asked.
A scholar from a Germanic country frowned and said:
“The energy supply of controllable nuclear fusion should be difficult to meet the needs of neuron transmitter stability in a short period of time, which means that we must find a suitable device to improve the energy supply for neuronal transmitters!”
“That’s right!”
Another middle-aged scholar of the Dragon Kingdom nodded and agreed:
“We can create two energy supply systems, and the Tokmak device will specifically maintain the energy supply of exoskeleton equipment.”
“Then set up a separate energy supply device to independently supply neuronal transmitters!”
“Such words!”
“It should alleviate the problems we are experiencing now to some extent.”
The researchers had a lively discussion about which kind of energy supply device was more suitable!
First of all, this energy supply device must meet the independent energy supply, which is the most basic condition!
Secondly, its energy supply capacity must be refined enough to meet the needs of neuronal transmitter stability!
Again, the energy supply system itself should be simpler, not too complex to affect the basic operation of exoskeleton equipment!
Just a condition, in fact, it is not difficult to meet!
But to meet three conditions at the same time …. No doubt, the difficulty does not want to!
People including Su Xiaoxiao and other researchers chatted for a long time, and did not come up with a suitable energy supply equipment, and several people couldn’t help it, and subconsciously turned their eyes to Lu Yu.
In fact, give them a certain amount of time to solve this problem, and it is estimated that within two or three days, they can also give a good idea!
But… Time is a little too tight now!
And perhaps because of path dependence, a group of researchers find themselves relying more and more on the Lu language!
If scientific research is compared to an ocean, then Lu Yu is a speedboat on the ocean, as long as it is slightly started, the speed can far exceed the person swimming in it!
“Well…”
Lu Yu frowned.
In fact, he has been wondering if there is any suitable idea to solve this problem!
But the problem is that things involving the professional field of neuronal systems are not his strengths, so after thinking about it for a long time, there is no particularly breakthrough idea that can be obtained.
“I didn’t think of any good ideas for the time being.”
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Lu Yu’s mouth, and he continued:
“If it is the content of the field of biology, I may still be able to say one, two, three, four, but when it comes to the field of neurons, I really don’t know more than you…”
He originally wanted to be modest, but as he spoke, the words suddenly stopped!
Immediately afterwards, a bright light flashed in Lu Yu’s eyes!
“Neuronal realm…. Biology.
“We just need to make an independent energy supply system, and we don’t need any special research in the field of neurons!”
“Energy
supply system…”
Lu Yu continued as if he had thought of something, ”
Since we just need an independent energy supply system! That directly uses the hybrid product of nanometals and graphene, carbon nanotubes, to make a miniature biological battery and put it in the conductor!
“Isn’t that enough for us to solve the problem?!”
Carbon nanotubes?
Hearing Lu Yu’s answer, several people were first stunned, and then reacted instantly!
“Lu Yu.”
“You mean, let’s make a biofuel cell based on carbon nanotubes?” And then use this biological battery for independent energy supply?
Su Xiaoxiao asked quickly.
“That’s right!”
“We can make a biofuel cell that uses carbon nanotubes as a catalyst to convert glucose and oxygen inside the human body into water and electricity, thereby providing a continuous and stable power supply for neural sensors!”
“Compared to miniature tokamak devices, this energy supply system is much more stable!”
“Although the power is not high, it is completely enough to meet the needs of neuronal transmitters!”
Lu Yu said.
He quickly began to calculate, and as he calculated, he reported the results:
“There is another more important point!”
“This biofuel cell is characterized by high efficiency and low toxicity! Especially low toxicity, this is too important for us” ”
Biological batteries can be compatible with the environment inside the human body, greatly reducing the damage and impact on the human body!”
“Not only that, this biofuel cell can also improve catalytic performance and output power by adjusting the shape and structure of carbon nanotubes, thereby improving the effect of power supply!”
“If there is any data in the follow-up experiment that is not correct, we can also specifically change the structure of carbon nanotubes to improve the energy supply!”
Lu Yu roughly explained his thoughts, and explained the advantages extremely obviously!
“Do you have any better ideas?”
Lu Yu looked around and asked.
The scholars thought for a while, and all shook their heads. They continued to conceive the plan proposed by Lu Yu and found that it was indeed very feasible!
What’s more…. The advantages of directly using carbon nanotubes to build biological batteries are indeed too obvious!
“Well, since everyone has no opinion.”
“Then let’s continue to work, assign a task, group A remakes a graphene neuronal transmitter, and group B meets the repair of active electrodes.” I led Group C to complete the production of biological batteries! Lu
Yu also didn’t say any nonsense, and directly gave instructions!
Soon, in the laboratory, a huge academic team took action in an instant!
The work of Group A and Group B is still the same as before, there is nothing special to take care of, and Lu Yu simply does not care. He directly put more energy into Group C, that is, the production of biological batteries.
Although it is easy to say ideas, it is not much difficult to implement specific research.
“We have to determine which one should be chosen for the specific carbon nanotube species.”
“You have to set the direction first.”
Lu Yu said directly.
The type, morphology and structure of carbon nanotubes will affect the electrochemical characteristics of biological batteries, such as current density, open circuit voltage, internal resistance, etc
Different types, morphologies and structures of carbon nanotubes will have different specific surface area, conductivity, porosity and mechanical properties, which will affect the effective contact area, electron conduction velocity, mass transmission efficiency and mechanical stability of the electrode!
Therefore, the first step is to choose the right type of carbon nanotubes, which is the most important!
It’s like driving, as long as you set a specific direction, you can press the accelerator!
“How about we try them in turn?”
“Prove it by practice?”
One researcher proposed.
Lu Yu shook his head directly and said, “No!”
“We are in a hurry, and if each one uses the enumeration method and uses experiments to demonstrate, it will be too time-consuming!”
“We still have to start from the fundamentals and think about which kind of carbon nanotubes is more suitable for our neuronal transmitters.”
He frowned and pondered.
In fact, there are many types of carbon nanotubes, each with distinct advantages and disadvantages, and there is no absolute good or bad!
For example…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes have higher specific surface area and conductivity than multi-walled carbon nanotubes, but they are more likely to aggregate and break!
Carbon nanotube networks have higher porosity and mechanical properties than carbon nanotube powder, but are also more likely to clog and fall off!
In addition to the basic type, some details will also have an impact, such as the length, diameter and arrangement of carbon nanotubes, which directly affect the degree and direction of contact with electrolytes or microorganisms!
Therefore, it must be! You need to choose the right type of carbon nanotubes!
Only after confirming the basic proportions, control the structural details… In order to achieve the best electrochemical performance required by Lu Yu!
“Xiaoxiao, let’s make a multi-walled carbon nanotube first.”
“I think this should be more suitable for our needs than other kinds of carbon nanotubes.”
Lu Yu said directly after analyzing it.
“Multi-walled carbon nanotubes do have some unique advantages. But its problems are not easy to solve…”
Su Xiaoxiao was a little hesitant:
“Just like that.”
“The conductivity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is so low that it is affected by interlayer interactions and defects, much lower than single-walled carbon nanotubes.”
“Our research content is not low for conductivity.”
“Moreover, the typical longitudinal and horizontal ratio of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is low, so the permeation threshold of conductivity is high, which can easily lead to current spillage.”
Another scholar also analyzed:
“Yes, in addition to conductivity, there are also problems with its elasticity.”
“Due to their high rigidity, multi-walled carbon nanotubes are not prone to bending, twisting, kinking or buckling without damaging the structure.”
“I think single-arm carbon nanotubes are more suitable for us, right? Single-walled carbon nanotubes are much more flexible and can easily restore their original structure…” Lu
Yu pondered for a while, but still shook his head.
“Nope.”
“We should still choose multi-carbon nanotubes!”
He hesitated, perhaps because he didn’t want to be too “authoritarian”, but he still said the advantages and disadvantages specifically.
“You must know that all our experimental needs are to meet the needs of exoskeleton equipment! The synthesis method of multi-walled carbon nanotubes is relatively simple, and arc discharge method, chemical vapor deposition method and other methods can be used to achieve high yield and low-cost preparation at a very low cost!
“Single-walled carbon nanotubes are much more troublesome. , laser evaporation method, high-pressure carbon dioxide method, etc., the output is too low, it is difficult to achieve large-scale equipment. ”
It’s a matter of cost.”
He took a deep breath and continued, “Stability is a bigger issue than cost. ”
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes consist of multiple layers of graphene winding layers with high melting point and oxidation resistance, which can maintain their structure and performance at high temperatures and harsh electrochemical environments!”
“And single-walled carbon nanotubes are composed of a layer of graphene sheets, which are easily affected by heat, oxygen, acid and other factors, resulting in structural deformation or damage!”
“Just imagine, what if our exoskeleton device acts in extreme climatic conditions…” ”
What if the nerve control suddenly gets out of control without enough stability?!”
“Also, the elasticity you said, this is not a disadvantage of multi-carbon nanotubes, but an advantage!”
Lu Yu set his sights on the scholar before.
“Not a disadvantage, but an advantage?”
“….”
