今年以来，固态电池相关概念股股价水涨船高，其背后固然有资本炒作的成分，但更为重要的是，固态电池产业进程明显提速。 但多位行业内技术大牛对此持保守态度，例如曾毓群表示："用数字1到9表示成熟度，当前行业最高水平只到了4左右，处于器件样品实验验证 阶段。" 这也意味着，固态电池距离大规模产业化还有很长的路要走，因为欧阳明高院士和比亚迪孙华军也没有松口说固态电池何时能大规模量产。 曾毓群认为，研发全固态电池的关键在于对材料和化学体系，其中最难的就是固固界面问题。 全固态电池量产第一大难点：固固界面接触难题 由于取消了电解液，固态电池的电解质与界面是直接的固体接触，而固液接触是以浸润形式充分贴合，固体界面接触则很难充分贴合，因为面 积小导致界面接触阻抗高，锂离子通道减少和应力堆积问题显现。 01 电解液和电极的化学性质不同，导致相互接触后可能会发生化学反应，这在金属锂负极和电解质界面尤为常见。电池充放电过程中，锂离子在 负极表面不均匀沉积会形成锂枝晶，随着充放电过程的循环进行，锂枝晶逐渐延伸刺破隔膜导致电池的短路，带来严重的安全隐患。 界面抗阻问题也是固固界面一个需要攻克的点，锂金属负极体积变化和正极颗粒破碎，会导致 ...

给你们说一件昨晚去演唱会遇到的事。 国内参加过大型活动的都知道，进场之前有安检，像演唱会这种水都是不让带的，安检前要么喝完要么扔，过了安检有专门卖水的店，你渴了可以花钱 买。 所以我和老婆就是空手溜达进场，想着有钱买水喝就行。结果排队进场的时候发现前后左右其他观众人手一瓶水，我隐隐约约觉得不妙，之后发现红磡体 育馆竟然不安检，也不阻止观众带水，更要命的是现场不卖水。 我俩直接傻了，这个时候想买水要往回走老远的路，不想去。老婆叮嘱我，等下悠着点少唱几句，嗓子冒烟了也没水。结果演唱会气氛很好，我前半段就 唱的口干舌燥，后半段又累又渴，整个人蔫了。 终究还是吃了外地人不懂事的亏，谁能想到这么大型的活动竟然不安检。后来我问香港本地朋友，他们说演唱会现场不仅可以带水，也可以带酒喝，一边 喝酒一边听歌，就很容易嗨起来。 这在内地是不可想象的，群聚活动不安检，还能喝酒，领导不怕出事吗？这件事本身不大，但挺能反映内地和这边的社会差异的。 另一件让我感到意外的事情，就是香港楼房在深夜的亮灯率。我们是11:30散场，我和老婆两人溜达回酒店，一路上看到那些几十层的住宅楼，一半 以上的窗户都还亮着灯，这对于在北京住惯了的我来说也是一 ...
