Chapter 129 Copper-Based Superconducting Batteries

After Tony took the glass and left, Wang Bin did not continue to stay in his shop, but directly returned to the real world.

Back in the real world, Wang Bin did not go to the laboratory immediately, but first called Jia Jie and the others, and entrusted them with the task of designing and manufacturing a production line for normal-temperature copper-based superconducting materials. The specific data of the material told them, but only told them some general data.

For example, the production capacity to be achieved by the production line, the products produced by the production line, and so on.

Then he turned and left his office, walking towards his own laboratory.

After all, since the technology has been purchased from the system, he has to find a way to realize the technology. Of course, if he wants to realize the electromagnetic rail gun technology, Wang Bin must first solve the large-capacity superconducting capacitor technology.

However, Wang Bin found that in terms of basic materials, such a technology is actually easier to implement, such as superconducting batteries.

Now that he already has a copper-based room temperature superconducting material, it is not difficult to realize a relatively simple superconducting battery.

So it took Wang Bin less than a week to get a copper-based superconducting battery, or a superconducting capacitor. Of course, this copper-based superconducting battery is actually Wang Bin who obtained these technologies from the system. , the simplest superconducting battery.

Looking at the superconducting battery in his hand, which is less than 10 centimeters in height, less than two centimeters in thickness, and less than 5 centimeters in width, Wang Bin felt a little emotional.

Although this battery is only the simplest of the many superconducting batteries given by the system.

However, such a small battery stores 1000 ampere-hours of electricity, which is about 50 degrees of electricity.

Such a small electric superconducting battery, according to the data of the system, can store electrical energy for an electromagnetic rail gun below 5mm, providing more than 50 consecutive maximum-energy launches.

What if you put this battery in other modern electric equipment! Not to mention anything else, let's take the electric vehicles that everyone is using on the road as an example.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of electric vehicles on the market use 48v20a lead-acid batteries, and a set of 48V20A lead-acid batteries can only store about one kilowatt-hour of electricity.

In terms of output voltage, generally speaking, the maximum output of each lead-acid battery is only twelve volts. If you want to achieve a higher voltage, then lead-acid batteries must be connected in series to achieve it.

The voltage of a single cell of a lithium battery is even smaller,

It is often only a few volts, and the lithium battery on the lithium battery electric vehicle is connected in series by a very large number of lithium batteries to meet the volt requirement required by the electric vehicle.

The superconducting battery in Wang Bin's hand is different. According to the data, the maximum output voltage of this battery is very large compared with lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, and can reach a maximum level of 100 volts. In terms of instantaneous release of current, it is not comparable to lead-acid batteries or lithium batteries.

After all, this copper-based superconducting battery is essentially just a large-capacity capacitor, so if necessary, this battery can release all the electrical energy in the battery within one second.

In fact, this is also the reason why this battery can be used as an energy source in a rail gun, because when the rail gun fires a projectile, the instantaneous current released is very large.

Ordinary batteries and lithium batteries can't reach it at all. If you use lithium batteries, you don't have to wait until the rail gun is launched, and the battery will burn itself out. After all, the nature of lithium batteries is no different from gunpowder.

In addition, in terms of safety, since the main raw material of copper-based superconducting batteries is copper-based room-temperature superconducting materials, and the main raw material of copper-based room-temperature superconducting materials is metallic copper, and there are not too many chemical materials in them. , so there is no fire or explosion in this superconducting battery.

Of course, if there is a short circuit during use, it is still possible to burn the superconducting coil in the superconducting battery, but the probability is not high, and it is more likely to burn the short circuit or even the wire.

So that is to say, the storage capacity of such a small superconducting battery is 50 times that of ordinary 48v20a lead-acid batteries. The most important thing is the gap in volume. This battery is only less than a percent of ordinary 48v20a batteries. Just one of them.

You must know that even graphene batteries, which are now favored by major companies and countries in the world, have an energy density equivalent to about ten times that of lithium batteries.

Under normal circumstances, the energy density of lithium batteries is only three to four times that of lead-acid batteries. That is to say, the ideal storage capacity of graphene batteries is about thirty or forty times that of lead-acid batteries.

It can be said that if the volume is the same, the electric energy stored in the battery in his hand can definitely reach dozens of times that of the graphene battery that is still in concept, but considering this copper-based superconducting material The weight of the manufactured superconducting battery is relatively heavy, so the actual energy density should only reach about fifteen to twenty times the energy density of the legendary graphene battery.

At the same time, in terms of cost, the price of this kind of battery is also very high, let alone the price of copper-based superconducting materials. After all, only he Wang Bin has mastered copper-based superconducting materials now, and mass production has not yet started, so this The price is not good.

However, according to Wang Bin's preliminary estimate, the price of copper-based superconducting materials must be at least 10,000 yuan per kilogram, and the weight of the battery in his hand has reached about one kilogram.

That is to say, the price of the superconducting material in this superconducting battery alone has reached the level of tens of thousands of yuan. If the cost of other aspects of the home is just such a one-kilogram superconducting battery, the cost is as high as more than 20,000 yuan.

However, this is only the cost of the construction. If it is to be sold, Wang Bin will certainly not only sell it at a price of 20,000, but will definitely sell it at a higher price.

But no matter what, this battery is definitely a rare super battery.

In other words, if the superconducting battery in his hand is installed on an electric vehicle, the cruising range of the electric vehicle can definitely be increased by more than 50 times.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin found that electric vehicle batteries are actually a very good project. After all, the number of electric vehicles in China has reached 300 to 400 million, and the annual output has reached tens of millions.

But then Wang Bin vetoed his idea. After all, if this kind of battery is really only used in electric vehicles, it is definitely a waste.

Even if it is to be used, it must be used on electric vehicles or other large vehicles, such as aircraft, ships, and aerospace equipment.

Of course, since the battery has been developed, Wang Bin will naturally not give up on a market as big as the electric vehicle battery market, so if the current situation of this battery is put into the electric vehicle battery market.

Not to mention that the price is too high, only the performance of this battery, once it is put into the electric vehicle battery market, it will definitely have a fatal impact on those electric vehicle battery manufacturers, then there will definitely be countless electric vehicle batteries Manufacturers went bankrupt and countless people lost their jobs. This is definitely not what Wang Bin wants to see, nor is it what the country wants.

So if this battery wants to be put into the electric vehicle battery market, it must be modified before it can be put into use.

For example, reduce the performance to only ten times the energy density of ordinary lithium batteries, and at the same time, the price should be at least ten times higher than that of lithium batteries, so that we can only focus on the high-end electric vehicle market, so it is still possible .

In addition, in the electric vehicle market, Wang Bin will not give up. Although Wang Bin and his Tiangong technology situation, there is no way to produce electric vehicles, no matter in terms of equipment or qualifications, Wang Bin None of them are available yet.

However, there are still many electric vehicle manufacturers that cannot continue to operate in the country. If necessary, Wang Bin can buy a company and produce it himself.

Thinking of this, Wang Bin shook his head, decided not to think about these things, and decided to continue the experiment of superconducting battery technology. After all, the superconducting battery he had just manufactured in his hand, according to the knowledge of the system, was only The first generation of superconducting battery technology.

As the first-generation technology, it naturally has some shortcomings. For example, in terms of volume and energy density, the first-generation superconducting battery technology can only reach this level, and it can no longer be increased.

At the same time, different from other battery technologies, this first-generation copper-based room-temperature superconducting battery technology can only be used as a whole, and cannot be connected in parallel or in series like other batteries to increase the capacity of the battery. and output voltage.

But when it came to the second-generation copper-based superconducting battery technology in his mind, these problems were basically solved, the second-generation copper-based superconducting battery technology.

Not only can the volume of a single block be made larger, it can be as large as 100 cubic millimeters, that is, the size of 0.1 cubic meters, and at the same time, the storage capacity is more than ten times that of the original, that is, a block of ten to ten centimeters A square superconducting battery can store 500 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is 20,000 ampere-hours of electricity.

You must know that this is 20,000 ampere-hours, far exceeding the capacity of lithium batteries on all household electric vehicles on the market! After all, the lithium battery capacity of general household electric vehicles is only less than 100 amps, even if it is a super large capacity, it is only about 110 or 20 amps, about 25 kWh to 50 kWh.

It is conceivable how huge the electric energy stored in the second-generation copper-based superconducting battery is.

At the same time, there has also been a qualitative improvement in the discharge voltage. In the first generation, the maximum discharge voltage was only about 100 volts, but now the maximum discharge voltage has reached 500 volts. That is to say, compared with the first generation copper The discharge voltage of the base superconducting battery was five times higher.
