With Wu Tong at the helm, providing the right direction, the research and development of lithium anode materials for new energy batteries has made impressive progress. After continuous experimentation, deductions, and adjustments, the research team, led by Tao Ran and Ruan Chengxu, ultimately focused on C2H6OSi and dimethyl silicone oil.

This is a high molecular polymer that is used in various fields such as medicine, daily chemical products, food, and construction. Under the guidance of Wu Tong, the research team found that when dimethyl silicone oil is treated by special synthetic means and then spin-coated in a nitrogen-filled glove box to form a coating, it will effectively suppress the lithium dendrite shuttle effect, thereby enabling the lithium negative electrode material to truly exert its excellent performance.

The appearance of dimethyl silicone oil is a colorless, transparent volatile liquid to an extremely high viscosity liquid or silica gel. It is odorless and highly transparent. It has heat resistance, cold resistance, small viscosity change with temperature, water resistance, low surface tension, and thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity coefficient is 0.134-0.159W/(m·K) and the light transmittance is 100%. Dimethyl silicone oil is non-toxic and odorless, has physiological inertness, and good chemical stability.

It has excellent electrical insulation, weather resistance, and hydrophobicity, as well as high shear resistance, and can be used for long periods of time at temperatures between -50°C and 200°C. Its excellent physical properties allow it to be used directly for moisture-proof insulation, damping, shock absorption, defoaming, lubrication, and polishing. It is widely used as an insulating lubricant, shockproofing agent, oil and dustproofing agent, dielectric fluid, and heat carrier. It can also be used as a defoamer, release agent, paint, and daily chemical additive.

They will focus their attention on this material, that is, to determine the solution as coating, and look for suitable coating materials. This is one of the options screened out. They are attracted by the material's good weather resistance, electrical insulation, chemical stability, and physiological inertness.

After a series of experimental screenings, they conducted in-depth development on this material, and finally came up with nano-breathing dimethyl silicone oil, referred to as C2 coating material.

The final appearance of this material is a paste with extremely high viscosity and silver-yellow color. When applied to a targeted position, it will quickly solidify. During this period, the special nano-breathing effect can play its role in stably curbing the formation of lithium dendrites after certain treatment.

The use of dimethyl silicone oil is too common in the world, and what is special is the special synthetic preparation method. Of course, although the performance of the special material after treatment is excellent, this layer of coating material alone is definitely not enough to solve the lithium dendrite problem that has plagued the world for many years!

The most critical technology is actually the special combed carbon nano-spacer deduced by Wu Tong in the end. It uses special dislocation combing to smooth the shuttling effect of lithium ions, and finally isolates the formation of lithium dendrites, so that the application of new energy lithium batteries can be analyzed into reality.

"Boss Wu, we succeeded?" Tao Ran couldn't help but beam with joy as he looked at the data from the rechargeable battery tester. It had been a full forty-eight hours, and not only had no lithium dendrites formed, but even the Coulomb efficiency remained extremely high. They had truly broken the shackles of lithium dendrites!

This has allowed new energy lithium batteries to completely break through their upper limits and become promising.

"The experiment proves that we are right!" Wu Tong nodded with a smile. Actual tests reveal the truth. After a month and a half, they have indeed developed promising breakthrough materials for new energy lithium batteries, the C2 coating and C1 carbon plate.

Using C2 coating alone can curb the formation of lithium dendrites caused by the shuttle effect, but it will cause surface deposits. This will undoubtedly affect the battery over time and reduce its lifespan. However, the difference compared to before is huge. This minor issue is actually negligible for current battery manufacturers and new energy vehicle manufacturers.

However, Wu Tong always strives for perfection, so on the basis of coating, Wu Tong sought to solve the deposits, which can smooth out the shuttle effect and sort out the deposits produced by the analysis effect of lithium ions during the charging process.

She read in the latest literature that the current lithium-sulfur battery field is trying to fix the cathode material, a sulfur composite material, within the intervening carbon port, seeking to solve the shuttle effect caused by the dissolution of polysulfides in lithium-sulfur battery reactions. At the same time, it is possible to improve the conductivity of the cathode and the utilization rate of sulfur.

Many attempts have been made, including using a porous conductive carbon skeleton to disperse active sulfur into the carbon material, improving the dispersion of elemental sulfur in the composite structure, and using the pore structure to adsorb polysulfides to limit their precipitation from the composite structure, thereby improving the efficiency of the electrode reaction.

Wu Tong was inspired by this and deduced the honeycomb porous combing negotiation. He used the special porous design of the carbon plate to impact the negative electrode with lithium ions. Combined with the coating material, he finally formed a perfect lithium dendrite treatment solution, allowing lithium metal to be successfully used as the best negative electrode material and perfectly exert the excellent performance of lithium batteries!

"We've created another miracle, Mr. Wu, we've created another miracle!" After Wu Tong nodded in affirmation, the core team members who cooperated with the experiment couldn't help but cheer and suddenly resounded throughout the laboratory.

Their eyes were fixed on the ten groups of test experiments on the laboratory table. In their eyes, the six groups that did not produce lithium dendrites were no less than looking at rare beauties. In fact, beauties were nothing but dry bones to them. Instead, these represented the progress of scientific research and the results of their learning and progress, which made their eyes shine even more.

"Boss Wu, Boss Wu, you are omnipotent! Wherever Boss Wu points, he is invincible!"

"Okay, okay, everyone, continue recording data and repeating the experiment. We need more test data to verify the stability of this solution. Stop trying to fool me!

Once we have properly organized the data, I would like to commend you all for your contributions. The patent share reward for the C2 coating material will be paid out to everyone after it goes into production!"

Wu Tong laughed. She hadn't suppressed the youthful team's lively excitement. So, after letting them rejoice, she issued new demands. If she let them flatter her any more, she'd really think she was an omnipotent god!

But how is that possible? She is still in the mortal realm, and all her breakthroughs come from the accumulation of knowledge, not breakthroughs out of nothing!

A single successful experiment isn't enough; only accumulated, stable data from multiple tests can truly be considered effective. They initially conducted ten comparative experiments: four with a coating and carbon plate, four with a coating combination, and two with standard process flows. The two standard graphite solutions, used as comparisons, completed their tasks quickly, creating a striking contrast.
