Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 728 - 280 The Charm of a New Element_3

Hence, Li Jian Gao asked subconsciously, "So, this single-ion battery you mentioned, compared to the current lithium batteries, how much better is it?"

"It's hard to say. The current stage lithium battery's energy density is between 150 to 250 Wh/kg, with most commercial domains at 150Wh/kg. Based on the current industrial manufacturing level in Huaxia, high-performance single-ion batteries are estimated to reach approximately 700 to 800 Wh/kg, which is about three to four times better.

But the main advancement would actually be in significantly improving safety because this design minimizes ineffective ion migration, bringing internal ineffective chemical reactions close to zero. Moreover, it will shorten charging times, increase energy efficiency, and lengthen lifespan, which is very beneficial for the deep-sea clusters that carry out long-term missions at sea," explained Qiao Ze.

"Only three to four times better? And you think that's a small improvement?" Li Jian Gao no longer knew what to say.

This thing is obviously not going to be limited to the deep-sea cluster project—eventually, it's going to enter the consumer market.

Paired with shorter charging times and higher energy efficiencies, if used in drones, new energy vehicles, smartphones, and other electronic products, the implications are self-evident.

Keep in mind that for safety reasons, the batteries in new energy vehicles can only reach 150 Wh/kg right now.

This means that once safety issues are casually dealt with, when these batteries start to become common, we could see new energy vehicles with a range exceeding 2000 kilometers on a full charge, smartphones that need charging only once a week, drones with an endurance of more than ten hours, and large-scale electric storage facilities for power stations...

Li Jian Gao felt the pressure mounting even more.

Qiao Ze previously mentioned that Li Jian Gao should name the new element, which was a shock, but didn't make him too anxious.

It was just a matter for the academic community, at most he'd be ridiculed by some researchers.

Who knew that it wouldn't be as simple as synthesizing a series of new elements like Livermorium!

In fact, not many people know about these new elements at the far end of the Periodic Table of Elements because they have not yet found a way to widely industrialize them due to their short half-lives, and thus they haven't had much impact on everyday life.

Simply put, they take a great deal of effort to synthesize, only to decay into something else shortly afterward...

For example, Livermorium-294, which is often used in research, has a half-life of 0.7 milliseconds and decays into Livermorium-290—an element with atomic number 116 on the Periodic Table of Elements—through alpha decay. In turn, Livermorium-290 is also an extremely unstable superheavy element with an equally short half-life, decaying into Flereovium-286 within milliseconds; Flereovium too is a synthetic element created in the lab.

This decay will continue until it becomes one of the stable elements listed on the Periodic Table of Elements.

Hence, even if these synthesized elements are named after people, the impact isn't big among the general populace, with only a few being aware.

However, if the new element has stable isotopes as Qiao Ze described, not needing any other function, merely being able to upgrade energy storage technology is enough to ensure the discoverer is eternally remembered.

As for the one naming it...

The first person to indirectly influence the trajectory of human technological development in history?

"Qiao Ze…"

"Hmm?"

"Maybe you should do the naming. I really don't feel up to it."

"It's already been sent."

"That's not what I mean…"

"Period 8 has just started, Group 1 is perfect for you to name."

Li Jian Gao didn't know what to say for a moment.

This reasoning...

Someone had previously said Qiao Ze's material model ruined chemistry.

See, now the work has arrived, hasn't it?

Chemists must be feeling energized again, right?

With the start of Period 8, elements 120, 121, and so on, can continue to be arranged downwards.

As long as the big shots work hard, the future kids may have much more to memorize.

Moreover, if the elements of Group 1 in Period 8 all exhibit the "island of stability" effect in their isotopes, it indicates a worthwhile direction for research. If future new elements all possess stable isotopes, it means they could be industrialized for use, possibly creating wonders.
