I Have a Research Support System

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Wanqing was called to the office by Wei Xingsi, and her comments on the AM article of the IEICO-4F system returned.

The opinions of the two reviewers are positive, and the comments given by the editor are minor changes, no supplementary experiments are required, and there are no difficult questions to answer.

Seeing such a result, tears of excitement flowed from the corners of the elder sister's eyes: "It should be stable this time, it's really difficult to post an AM."

Xu Qiu leaned over to look at the opinions, and said in a positive tone: "It's stable, it's stable, if I can't publish it like this, I'll eat something, swim butterfly in something, pull something upside down..."

Chen Wanqing shrank her head and said, "I'm a little flustered because you're milking me so much..."

"Don't panic, I'll help you correct it again after you finish correcting it." Xu Qiu said proactively.

"Okay." Chen Wanqing smiled.

In the evening, Xu Qiu helped the senior to revise her revised draft and feedback documents, and then handed them over to Teacher Wei for submission.

On Tuesday, Chen Wanqing took Han Jiaying to Blue River Company to continue the scraping experiment.

This time, the device efficiency of Xuejie's full solution method has been further improved, breaking through 7%.

It's not that there is any improvement in the operation method or the scraping equipment, but because Blue River and the others purchased a transmission layer material called polyethoxyethyleneimine (PEIE).

Compared with the PFN material used before, this material is more suitable for the scrape coating system, and it is easier to obtain a uniform and dense transmission layer film.

I have to say that the banknote ability is quite powerful.

What Blue River said before was "As long as it is a material that may improve performance, first find a way to buy some and try it out", and now it really works.

Even the device efficiency of the scrap-coated effective layer prepared by Han Jiaying has reached 9%, which is about to approach the 10% mark.

In addition, Yang Qin and the others have completed synthesis experiments including ITIC, IEICO, IEICO-4F and other materials, and conducted device tests.

Although the device efficiency did not completely repeat the value in Xu Qiu's literature, the difference is not too big, and the deviation value is generally 0.5%-2%, which is acceptable.

It is very normal to have deviations, because the experimental conditions of Xu Qiu and the others were established through continuous exploration, and they are only applicable to the current state of the instruments of Wei Xingsi's research group.

If you switch to other places, even if it is the same system, the optimal conditions will change. Even with the help of seniors and juniors, it is impossible to get the optimal results all at once.

Therefore, Yang Qin also contacted Xu Qiu to discuss the sale of the materials.

Xu Qiu gave Yang Qin two sets of documents. One set of documents is the ITIC-related documents published by the research group, and the other set of documents is all the documents in the field of organic photovoltaics in the past two or three years.

Next, Yang Qin's task is to find the contact information of the corresponding authors of each research group in these documents, and then promote them by mass mailing.

The mass mail will consist of four parts:

The first part is the summary of recent main literature, which is to summarize the main content of an article in one sentence.

Similar to: "The XX material was synthesized, what is the difference from the original YY material, what aspects have been improved compared with the original system, and what are the reasons..." Afterwards, the DOI number is attached to facilitate colleagues to find this document.

At the same time, it is also reminding them not to forget to cite articles when using our materials.

In theory, this part is to summarize all ITIC-related literature, including articles from other research groups, but in fact Xu Qiu intends to only include articles from his own research group.

On the one hand, he and Mr. Wei invested in Blue River Optoelectronics Materials Company, so it is considered his own family, so he must give priority to promoting himself;

On the other hand, in the current ITIC system, other research groups do not have any remarkable work, including Gong Yuanjiang, although he also published two AMs, but the core is mainly on the whole small molecule system, not the non-fullerene acceptor material itself.

The second part is product catalog and quotation.

Xu Qiu didn't plan to do it himself, and directly forwarded the product catalog of Shencheng Optoelectronics Company to Yang Qin, asking him to make a similar one.

Xu Qiu additionally told Yang Qin that the prices should be as consistent as possible with Shencheng Optoelectronics Company, neither too high nor too low, preferably basically the same.

Then at the beginning of the opening, you can provide discounts such as 12% off, which is slightly cheaper than other stores.

The premiums of various materials in the scientific research circle are generally very high, but people still eat this set.

If your materials are much cheaper than others, it may make people feel that your things are not very good and the quality is problematic.

In fact, the main reason is that there are relatively few customers, and the way of small profits but quick turnover is not feasible, and it is a fortune to make a fortune.

Maybe when a certain customer disappears, we must get more wool from them before they disappear.

The third part is the characterization test of the material. The purity of monomers and finished materials must be characterized by liquid chromatography and infrared spectrometer. The J-V curve of the device must be supplemented for the finished material, indicating that the batch of materials we leave the factory, Device efficiency can be at least as much as possible.

Xu Qiu took a look and found that the device efficiency of the first batch of ITIC materials ready to be sold has been stably greater than 10%, and the device efficiency of IEICO-4F materials can be greater than 11%, and the purity of the materials is above 99%.

For example, Shencheng Optoelectronics Company did not label the device efficiency data when they sold materials, and some even did not label the purity.

If you are a new customer and encounter these two optoelectronic companies, you will most likely choose the one with the device efficiency marked, because there is a guarantee, and the guarantee is not low.

11% efficiency, buy the materials back, just find some other materials to mix, it is not difficult to write a small article in the second district.

In addition, Blue River Optoelectronics is currently the only company that sells IEICO series materials, which is also a great advantage.

However, the advantage period will not be too long, maybe a month or two at most.

After a long time, other companies will follow up with materials like IEICO.

After all, there is no patent protection, and the papers are all public, and anyone can synthesize them and sell them.

The fourth part shows that Blue River Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. has cooperated with the research group of Wei Xingsi of Shanghai University of Technology. At the same time, it will also provide high-quality after-sales service. If you encounter any problems in device preparation, you can communicate at any time. We will serve you wholeheartedly.

Here are some polite words. There is basically no 7-day unreasonable return for things in the scientific research circle. First, say good things to fool you into buying the things. As for after-sales, it depends on your mood.

Of course, you still have to maintain a "good mood" in the early stage, after all, you have to accumulate customers.

The only problem now is that the IEICO-4F article of the senior sister has not been officially published. When promoting IEICO-4F, the references can only be temporarily vacant, and I will talk about it after the article comes out.

In the past few days, Xu Qiu's main job is to write a review of "Joule".

On Wednesday night, the overall progress of his article reached about 70%, and the previous "overview" part has been basically completed, only the latter "viewpoint" part, which is also the core of this article, needs to be carefully crafted.

Thursday, light source test.

Xu Qiu didn't go because he had to go to class, but this didn't affect the smooth progress of other people's experiments.

Now, the combat effectiveness of the organic photovoltaic team has become very strong, and everyone has the ability to act on their own. Even if they temporarily leave Xu Qiu as the backbone, they can still operate normally.

For this test, Han Jiaying and Chen Wanqing brought the film prepared by scraping coating. It is said that the results of GIWAXS and R-SoXS obtained on site are significantly different from the previous spin coating test results, but the data has not been processed yet.

On Friday, the senior sister's AM article's revision opinion still did not come back. Chen Wanqing looked calm on the surface, but she didn't know what her real thoughts were.

According to the usual practice, if the first review of the article is a minor revision, and the reviewers' opinions are relatively positive, if the editor thinks the revised manuscript is good, the article will be accepted directly within two or three working days.

It has been four days now, and there is still no news, there are two possibilities:

One is that the editor has been busy recently and has not seen the revised draft;

The other is that the editor has read the revised manuscript, but is not sure whether to accept the article, so he sends the article to the reviewers for re-review.

It is unclear which one it is.

On Friday afternoon, near the end of get off work, everyone sat around their desks.

Duan Yun suddenly said mysteriously: "Everyone is free at night, don't rush to leave after get off work, I have something to ask you."

Chen Wanqing raised her head, then lowered her head again without responding.

Xu Qiu asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

"I submitted a bunch of resumes before, and today I finally got news about one of them coming back." Duan Yun explained with a smile: "It's the first round of Exxon Mobil's school recruitment test, and it needs to be answered online. My roommate said that this kind of test questions The difficulty is not low, I'm afraid I can't handle it alone, I want to find some helpers to help me."

Xu Qiu asked: "I heard that this kind of online test requires the camera to be turned on, won't it be discovered?"

"Some need to turn on the camera, and some don't. It's my first time participating, so I don't know much about it." Duan Yun shook his head, and then said: "But even if you need to turn on the camera, you can also help me by leaning sideways. As long as it doesn't appear in the camera."

It was Xu Qiu's first contact with the school recruitment test, and he immediately became interested: "When will it start?"

Duan Yun checked the email and said, "Seven o'clock in the evening."

Xu Qiu turned to look at Han Jiaying, made eye contact with the school girl, and saw that she nodded knowingly, so she said, "Senior Brother Duan Yun, I will help you after dinner with Han Jiaying tonight."

"Great," Duan Yun said happily: "At that time, each of us will prepare an experiment notebook for drafting, and at the same time keep the computer always on, ready to use the search engine at any time."

"No problem." Xu Qiu nodded in response.
