Development electric vehicles Today this has become a reality thanks to the advent of lithium-ion batteries, and the father of this invention passed away this Sunday June 25 at the age of 100, this is John Goodenough.

Goodenough was 97 when he received the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, along with Britain’s Stanley Whittingham and Japan’s Akira Yoshino, for their research on lithium-ion batteries, making him the oldest recipient of the Nobel Prize.

“This rechargeable battery laid the foundation for wireless electronics such as mobile phones and laptop computers,” said the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences when awarding the award.

“It also makes a fossil-fuel-free world possible, as it is used to power everything from powering electric vehicles to storing energy from renewable sources.”

In recent years, Goodenough and his university team have also explored new avenues for energy storage, including a “glass” battery with a solid electrolyte and lithium or sodium metal electrodes.

He was born July 25, 1922 in Jena, Germany to an American family.

After receiving a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Yale University, Goodenough received his master’s and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Chicago. He became a researcher and team leader at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later became head of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Oxford.
