I Have a Research Support System

Monday morning, quarter past nine.

Except for Tian Qing, other members of the laboratory have arrived at Caiyi 216.

Chen Wanqing and Wu Feifei were chatting. Regarding the online drama they were chasing together, the plot was just updated on Saturday.

Duan Yun was sitting on the chair. He made a cup of tea with a tea bag and stared at the computer screen in a daze while drinking tea.

Han Jiaying turned on the computer, put her middle finger on the mouse wheel, and flicked back and forth the PPT she made for the group meeting.

"Junior girl, is it your first time participating in a group meeting, are you nervous?" Xu Qiu asked.

"I'm a little nervous." Han Jiaying nodded.

"After all, it's the first time. After that, once a week, you'll get used to it." Xu Qiu said:

"In the past few weeks, Mr. Wei has been very Buddhist, and he is basically not very good at killing people, so don't worry too much."

"That's good." Han Jiaying said.

...

At half past nine, Wei Xingsi showed up at the gate of 216 on time with his familiar BGM of the sound of leather shoes.

He looked around inside and said:

"Let's have a group meeting, where is Tian Qingren?"

"coming."

Tian Qing appeared from behind Teacher Wei with her schoolbag on her back.

"Okay, everyone is here, come here." Teacher Wei said.

Everyone started packing their things.

Xu Qiuchao reminded Han Jiaying:

"Bring an experiment notebook, a pen, and a USB flash drive."

After speaking, Xu Qiu picked up another round stool.

Because there are only four chairs in Mr. Wei's office, the five people could barely squeeze together when they held a group meeting.

Now there are six people, obviously not enough to sit.

...

Room 218.

The group meeting still made reports in the order of Wu Feifei, Duan Yun, Tian Qing, Chen Wanqing, and Xu Qiu, and the newcomer Han Jiaying was ranked last.

Duan Yun's own DIY thermoelectric test equipment is now ready for normal use.

He is now doing research on the thermoelectric properties of high-conductivity PEDOT, that is, PH1000 materials.

Wu Feifei and Tian Qing reported their work respectively:

"Three-dimensional perovskite solar cells with MAPbI3 doped with lead thiocyanate"

"Charge Transport Kinetics Study of Benchmark Perovskite Solar Cells"

Judging from the progress of the experiment, the research of both of them is nearing completion, and it is estimated that they will be able to write a good article and submit it in a month.

Although Xu Qiu and the others are not in the same research field, they have gone through so many group meetings together, and after being influenced by their ears and eyes, they can understand more or less.

He now has a general ability to distinguish whether their work is good or bad.

For these two jobs, it is definitely impossible to publish a top journal like AM, and it is estimated that the sub-journal AEM will be difficult.

However, considering that perovskite is currently a hot research field, it is estimated that it can be published in the first or top two areas.

In fact, organic and perovskite solar cells have many things in common. Both are third-generation thin-film solar cells, and their preparation processes are similar.

As for the difference, it is nothing more than the difference in the materials used, and the microscopic charge transport mechanism is different.

If you let him do perovskite now, spend a month doing experiments, and then read one or two hundred latest literatures, there is a high probability that he will be able to successfully switch careers.

Previously, after knowing that perovskite is more popular than the organic field, it is easier to publish articles, and the road to scientific research is smoother, Xu Qiu also thought about whether to give up the latter and choose the former.

At that time, the answer he gave was no, and the reason was probably his confidence in his scientific research ability.

Thinking about it now, there are more or less other factors in it.

Just like Xu Qiu's investment in Han Jiaying now, Chen Wanqing was investing in him back then.

And Mr. Wei, since he joined the group, all the reasonable requirements for scientific research have been met.

Moreover, now Han Jiaying is added, and she has to be responsible for her.

She has been firmly by Xu Qiu's side, which is also a kind of investment in him.

Although people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish.

But when a person is really integrated into the team, it is difficult to only consider his own interests and ignore the feelings of other people in the team.

...

Continue group meeting.

Chen Wanqing's report is quite satisfactory, mainly based on the characterization and device performance of her three systems.

When it was Xu Qiu's turn, he calmly said:

"I'm writing an article, I have nothing to report, Han Jiaying, come on."

"Ah, it's my turn." Han Jiaying hurriedly got up and looked at Xu Qiu beside her as if asking for help.

Judging by her appearance, she was still a little nervous.

Xu Qiu gave her an encouraging look.

Speech is all about practice, there is no shortcut.

I still remember that when he went to the podium to give a report or something when he was in high school, his legs would still shake.

He is definitely not like this now, he has already turned into an old fritter.

Of course, Duan Yun is the calmest in the lab. After all, he chose to re-do his Ph.D. after being in society for several years.

"Today, I, I will talk about the progress of the experiment last week." Han Jiaying said:

"First of all, it is the photoelectric performance of the device. The picture on the left is the J-V characteristic curve..."

At the beginning, she was a little stuttering when speaking.

However, when she saw that other people didn't mean to laugh at her, and saw Xu Qiu's encouraging eyes, she gradually adjusted her state, and the subsequent report slowly began to flow smoothly.

"Finally, regarding this week's experiment plan, Brother Xu Qiu suggested that I synthesize another batch of polymer materials and modify the side chains of P3T and P5T."

"That's right, you've done a good job, just follow Xu Qiu and continue to do it." Teacher Wei encouraged.

Then he continued:

"That's it for today's group meeting, Wu Feifei, if you order lunch at noon, I won't eat with you.

Also, I bought some fruits for you on Hippo Fresh, including longan, winter jujube, and orange grapes.

The address is set in my office, remember to pick it up when he delivers it. "

"Okay." Wu Feifei said.

...

After lunch and some after-dinner fruits, Xu Qiu took Han Jiaying to Zhang Jiang's laboratory.

This week is another week of synthesis experiments, and the pressure of the experiments is not small. Xu Qiu has to do four systems, and Han Jiaying also has two systems.

At about 1:30 in the afternoon, the two arrived at Office A501 of Zhangjiang Microelectronics Building.

Considering that the reaction time is 10 hours, if you get up at 6 o'clock the next morning and shut down the reaction, you will have to complete the experiment around 8 o'clock in the evening.

That is to say, around seven o'clock in the evening, I began to prepare for the reaction.

The time point cannot be too early or too late, the restrictions are still quite large.

Before the reaction, do the preparations such as toluene re-distillation, glass instrument cleaning and drying.

But it doesn't take much time to prepare, so there is a lot of free time left in the afternoon.

Xu Qiu thought for a moment, and thought of a good way to pass the time.

He sat at his desk, opened his laptop, waved to Han Jiaying, and said:

"Sister, come here, I'll show you a baby."

"What a treasure, it's so mysterious."

Although Han Jiaying was puzzled, she still pulled a chair and sat next to him.

After she saw the content on the screen, she complained:

"I... you actually showed me this."
