John B. Goodenough: Inventor of the Lithium Battery Wins Nobel Price in Chemistry 2019 At Age 97



John B. Goodenough

Inventor of the Lithium Battery

Wins Nobel Price in Chemistry 2019

At Age 97

John B. Goodenough is the inventor of RAM as well as the Lithium-ion Battery, and he recently was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. There is evidence to suggest that he and some of his team members have come up with a new generation of battery, which might involve a brand new solid-state battery that could charge a Tesla faster than the time it would take to fill up an internal combustion engine with gasoline. It has also been put forth that this new battery architecture would not suffer from charging degradation.


When recently notified he was the winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize John said: 

"We are working on how to develop a polymer which has an immobilized liquid in it so it conducts lithium or sodium as fast as in the liquid, and the liquid is immobilized so it is like a solid state material."

You can read John Goodenough's white paper on glass batteries named "Alternative Strategy for a Safe Rechargeable Battery".
 


"Climate change is coming from the burning of fossil fuels—of course. That is known, and we also know that is not a sustainable option. I think the lithium-ion battery people are trying very hard with the lithium-ion battery to do electric cars. It always was a problem because you cannot charge them too fast or you plate lithium on the carbon and then you have all the problems with dendrites and fires. But, we need electric cars. We need to find a way to emancipate ourselves from our dependence upon the burning of fossil fuels. Our people are working in that direction and they'll get there. —John B. Goodenough
