The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: Lithium-ion batteries are finally Goodenough

John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham, and Akira Yoshino won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Watch this episode to learn why. ↓↓More info and references below↓↓ The trio won the coveted award for their contributions to developing the lithium-ion battery, which has enabled the global proliferation of lightweight, portable gadgets and long-range electric vehicles. In the 1970s, M. Stanley Whittingham’s team at Exxon created the first rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Then, John B. Goodenough and his group at the University of Oxford boosted that battery’s voltage by developing a new, layered cathode material, lithium cobalt oxide. Finally, Akira Yoshino and colleagues at Asahi Kasei in Japan made a safer battery anode by replacing the reactive metallic lithium typically used. Batteries will need to continue improving to meet the demands of modern society, experts say, and these pioneers laid the foundation for a new generation of chemists to take the technology to the next level.
