Chapter 487 Solar Energy Research Institute

Early the next morning, Zhou Rui came to school.

He had been in a dark mood every day for some time, and starting from today, he has suspended his "left foot on the right foot" plan.

Looking back, the first thing to do is to deal with the follow-up to my graduation thesis.

After several days of hard work, Dean Zhao and several students have successfully reproduced Zhou Rui's "perovskite solar panel" in the laboratory.

It’s not that his skills are too poor, so many people are holding “instructions” and it takes so long, but the work of Dean Zhao’s team is more detailed.

For example, Zhou Rui wrote in his paper that the catalytic effect needs to be optimal at a temperature of 700°. Dean Zhao will lead people to do it all at 600°, 800°, and even 750° to study why it is 700°. , what is the difference in effect.

After various more comprehensive tests, the results of the finished product reproduced by Dean Zhao and his colleagues were completely consistent with Zhou Rui's data, even closer to the theoretical value, because they used more complex instruments and increased the accuracy of many links.

In the dean's office, dean Zhao was still playing with a bendable solar panel, and he couldn't put it down.

He felt a little bit of Mou Zhongyi's happiness. He had something world-leading at his fingertips. Although he didn't develop it himself, it felt great to be able to make one.

This is the same as looking at a beautiful woman. She is not my wife, but it is still physically and mentally satisfying to look at her.

Seeing Zhou Rui, Dean Zhao said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou is here, I will make you a cup of tea."

Zhou Rui skillfully picked up a bottle of Nongfu Spring from under the coffee table: "I'm a regular customer. Dean, you're welcome. I heard your return went smoothly."

Dean Zhao handed the battery film he made to Zhou Rui: "It went really well. All the indicators met expectations. I came here today to discuss this matter with you."

"You say."

Dean Zhao touched his chin and considered:

“I won’t go into too much nonsense about the importance of this technology. It is definitely the result of changing the status quo of the solar energy industry.”

"I heard you say last time that you don't plan to invest too much energy in this. Then I guess you want to use a method similar to 'Four Elephant Materials', focusing on technical licensing and technical guidance. I don't know if I am right. ”

Zhou Rui smiled: "It's almost the same. I really don't have the energy to open a factory for production."

This is destined to be something that requires large-scale industrial manufacturing. It’s too tiring to do it yourself.

Dean Zhao's eyes lit up: "Are you interested in cooperating with the school again?"

Zhou Rui was not surprised and said with a smile: "Of course I am interested. Please tell me what you think first."

Dean Zhao saw the opportunity and said with a smile: "You know the style of Fuda. What the school cares about is different from ordinary enterprises. Solar energy will be a 'hot field' in the next ten or even twenty years. This not only involves national strategy Planning also involves the attention of global academic circles.”

Science does not distinguish between high and low, but scientific research projects do.

Both are subversive achievements. "Conquering oral ulcers" and "conquering ALS" are obviously not the same, even though they are both terminal diseases.

The same goes for solar energy. For a very long time in the future, this will be an area that attracts great attention from all mankind, and it has a lot of halo.

What? Fuda leads the world in polymer materials? I don’t understand it, I just feel like that.

What? Fuda leads the world in the field of solar energy and will lead a new era of clean energy? Damn awesome!

That's probably it

If "disruptive technological achievements in the field of solar energy" and "major breakthroughs in clean energy for mankind" come from Fuda, then there are too many things represented in it.

Although in principle Zhou Ruiben is a student of Fuda, this simple connection is not enough for Fuda to gain enough prestige, so the school hopes to have in-depth cooperation.

Unlike the "Four Elephant Materials", perovskites can come into the sun. This is a branch that can support a large number of scientific researchers, and even continues to cultivate a large number of related talents around this achievement.

In this popular field, Fuda had little output in the past. If it has major achievements, building a new college is an exaggeration. It is absolutely no problem to establish a whole set of new majors.

Many people were able to transfer from related fields, discover new opportunities, write new papers, and spread the technology, which also furthered Fuda's "academic prestige."

"Xiao Zhou, you see, solar cells must be manufactured on a large scale after all. In addition to the most important panels, there are also a large number of supporting technologies, such as power technology and control technology. On-site power generation must be based on local conditions and examine the natural environment.

"Even in the future, the 'cost' and 'efficiency' of the perovskite route may be improved, and these require people and a large number of scientific researchers. We have these people."

Seeing Dean Zhao's excitement, Zhou Rui never interrupted. In fact, this cooperation with Fuda is a way for each to get what they need.

What he cares about, Fuda doesn't care about, and what Fuda cares about doesn't matter to him.

It is actually the most appropriate to refer to the cooperation method of Sixiang Materials.

In comparison, perovskite solar technology can bring more benefits to Fuda, because it can be made public and can produce a series of scientific research results.

In the end, the plan given by Dean Zhao was to let Zhou Rui complete the patent registration work first, and then jointly establish a "research institute" with Fuda in the name of "individual" or "Furui", and then put the results into the research institute. .

It is a routine operation for universities to cooperate with enterprises to establish research institutes, as long as they clearly identify the ownership of the results.

The operation mode of the institute will be similar to that of "Si Xiang Materials", focusing on technology licensing and technical guidance.

At that time, patents will be the patents, profits will be the profits, and academic affairs will be the academics.

The initial investment may not require too much, at least Zhou Rui, who has been desensitized to money by the money-making ability of "Kai Ming Intelligence", thinks it is very little.

About 2 million, with a scale of more than ten people.

Fu Da provides all the people and money, and the equipment is ready-made and can be used by the whole school.

The school will only politely take 10% of the future profits.

The subsidies for researchers and daily operating expenses will be deducted from the total income. If there is a loss and no profit, the school will cover the bottom line.

The commercial value, intellectual property rights, etc. belong to the institute, which is equivalent to 90% belonging to Zhou Rui.

All relevant academic papers are published in the name of "Fu Da Solar Energy Research Institute", including Zhou Rui's pioneering work.

This "name" does not mean that the first author is replaced by the institute, but that the submission unit is the institute.

Back and forth. Zhou Rui spent nothing, including very limited energy input, but he was able to land the "perovskite solar cell" and received full support from the school, with a large number of reserve scientific researchers to improve this route.

Hand it over to his alma mater, save worry and money.

Fudan University only spent 2 million, got a treasure that is destined to produce a large number of "scientific research results", and it can also cause a sensation in the international academic community. In the future, there will be another "flag in the field of new energy" to be planted on its own academic castle as a sign.

Earn. Too much!

2 million is nothing. Sometimes organizing a false and empty international academic conference will cost so much, inviting a lot of experts from various countries to attend the meeting to brag, stay in the best hotels, eat in the most expensive restaurants, and be sucked every year.

Now compare.

The money should still be spent on Zhou Rui!
